At Happy Head, we create hair growth solutions for male and female pattern hair loss, which affects 85% of men and 50% of women. In androgenetic alopecia, the androgen hormone Testosterone gets converted by the enzymes 1 and 2, 5-alpha-reductase into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT attaches to receptors in the hair follicle, blocking the delivery of essential nutrients, causing shortening of the growth phase, and follicles to shrink until the hair falls out. Taking action early and starting treatment before hair loss worsens is essential.
Our hair growth solutions are the strongest on the market to treat hair loss, providing thicker, healthier hair. Our custom topical solutions are made for you with FDA-approved ingredients that target DHT. Topical solutions are backed by clinical studies that indicate a lower chance of side effects. We also offer a 3-in-1 SuperCapsule™ in three formula variations and oral medications of all high-performing ingredients for those who prefer to take pills or capsules. Each of our treatment plans is customized based on your age, sex, medical history, and growth goal.

Got questions? We’ve got answers.
Hair growth isn’t one-size-fits-all, neither are your hair growth solutions. Once you submit photos of the areas you’re seeing hair loss and your Happy Head dermatologist reviews your questionnaire, they’ll make a treatment recommendation just for you. Many of our patients start with our topical hair growth solution since it’s customized for your needs. Your customizable ingredient options are Finasteride, Dutasteride, Minoxidil, Spironolactone, Hydrocortisone, Retinoic Acid, and Aloe Vera, among others.
The main difference between topical and oral medications is the potential of experiencing side effects. Oral medications are taken through the digestive system which gets absorbed into your body before reaching hair follicles. Because of this, oral medications have a higher chance of side effects. Based on your medical history and experiences, we’ll make sure to find the perfect solution for you.
Our dermatologists created our topical hair growth formulas to help significantly reduce any potential side effects because they’re applied externally. While our proprietary topical formulas offer a much lower chance of side effects, our newest addition of a liposomal base reduces that chance even further with even lower chances of systemic absorption.
That depends on your medical history, since oral medications may not be appropriate for everyone. But also do you want to take a once-daily capsule? Or would you rather apply your growth product topically? It’s important to note that when you use our topical formulas, we usually recommend you apply the product twice a day for best results.
Our SuperCapsule™ is the only 3-in-1 daily capsule for hair growth on the market, available in three formula options with Finasteride, Dutasteride, or Spironolactone (our women’s formula, under 50). Ask your Happy Head dermatologist which solution is right for you.
Yes, Happy Head does work for women. We offer hair growth products for women under 50 and over 50. For women under 50, we recommend Topical Spironolactone & Minoxidil, Oral Spironolactone, and our SuperCapsule™ with Spironolactone, Minoxidil & Vitamin D3 (women’s formula). For women 50 and above, Topical Spironolactone & Minoxidil, Topical Finasteride & Minoxidil, Oral Spironolactone, and our SuperCapsule™ with Spironolactone or Finasteride, and Dutasteride by request. For any woman taking medication, it is highly recommended that you do not take any hair growth medications if you are breastfeeding, pregnant, or planning to become pregnant.
Dutasteride is a stronger version of Finasteride, therefore it stays in your system for a longer period of time (up to 6 months). We typically provide first-time customers Finasteride to be sure you’re able to tolerate DHT blockers and won’t experience side effects if oral medication is prescribed. Dutasteride is recommended only if Finasteride isn’t producing growth results. We offer the highest concentrations on the market so you see growth in 3 to 6 months.
Different ingredients yield different results based on age, sex, and medical history. With plenty of options to choose from, including our 3-in-1 SuperCapsule™ available with the option of Finasteride or Dutasteride, you have options, and your Happy Head dermatologist is there to guide you. Feel free to send us your progress photos as you go, and we’ll help you find the ideal solution for your growth journey.
With daily application of topical Finasteride, the results are typically seen as early as 3 months, and up to 6 months of use.
In a clinical trial study of 45 male patients, Hajheydari et al. (2009) compared oral Finasteride (the pill) 1mg vs topical Finasteride 1% for a total of 6 months. Both the oral Finasteride 1mg and the topical Finasteride 1% showed a significant increase in total and terminal hair count after 4 months.
Yes, if after 6 months you’re not seeing results we will offer a refund on your latest order or offer a free reformulation. Remember that you’re able to request adjustments to your formula at any time and we’re happy to help.
