The Hair Loss Treatment Matrix (free PDF)

Why this exists

Most hair loss advice skips the parts that actually decide your results.

Everything gets sorted into "works" and "doesn't work." That's not how it plays out for real people.

Good evidence can still be the wrong pick

Your risk tolerance, your deal-breakers and the effort you'll actually keep up matter as much as the trial results.

A lot of the research is paid for by the seller

Sometimes the funding is listed on the same page that says "no conflicts of interest." You only catch it if you read the whole paper.

An average is not a promise

In most trials, some men end up with less hair than they started with. You deserve to know the spread, not just the headline number.

What's inside

Everything you need to compare your options side by side.

The matrix

All 22 treatments on one page, graded on evidence, risk, effort and cost, with my one-line take on each.

A full breakdown of every treatment

What it does, what the trials actually showed, real side effect numbers, and how long before you'd know if it's working.

Who each one is wrong for

Every treatment has a "poor fit" entry, including the ones with the best evidence. Anyone who says a treatment has no downside is selling it.

My grades, side by side

My own take on each treatment's evidence, risk and effort, scored the same way across all 22, so you can see at a glance how they stack up.

Is this for you?

Built for men who want the full picture before they commit.

This is for you if

You're dealing with male pattern hair loss
You've read forums and Reddit threads and can't tell what's real anymore
You're weighing finasteride, minoxidil and everything else and want to compare them fairly
You want the real numbers, caveats included

Probably not for you if

You're looking for a miracle cure
You want someone to tell you a treatment has zero risk
Your hair loss isn't male pattern. This matrix doesn't cover other types.

Who made this

Hi, I'm Kevin.

I'm a licensed pharmacist working in a US hospital. Reading clinical trials and weighing benefit against risk is my day job.

Hair loss is full of confident claims and very little checking. So I did the checking. I read every trial at the source, looked at who funded it, and wrote down what it actually showed. Including the parts that never make it into a 30-second Reel or Short.

There are no affiliate links in here and nothing to buy. If you want help working out which options fit your situation, I do one-on-one coaching. The Matrix is yours either way.
