Question 1

How does THICKR assess hair loss?

Accepted Answer

THICKR combines photo analysis with a personalised questionnaire to assess your hair across four areas: genetics, hormones, lifestyle, and scalp health. You take 4 photos which are analyzed by an AI vision model, scoring your hair on thickness, coverage, and scalp health, plus identifying your Norwood stage.

Question 2

How do I know if I'm actually losing my hair?

Accepted Answer

Look for change over time: your hairline creeping back, thinner hair around temples or crown, more visible scalp under bright light, or hair that doesn't style the same way. Take a well-lit photo now and compare in 3 months — photos don't lie. Everyone sheds 50-100 hairs daily, so some hair fall is normal.

Question 3

Is it normal to lose hair in your 20s?

Accepted Answer

Yes. About 20-25% of men with male pattern baldness start noticing it before age 21. By 30, roughly a third of men have some degree of visible hair loss. The earlier it starts, the more time you have to act — starting treatment early when follicles are still active gives the best results.

Question 4

How long until I see results from hair loss treatment?

Accepted Answer

Expect visible results at around 6 months. Months 1-2 may show increased shedding (the 'dread shed'), which is normal. Months 3-4 show subtle improvements. Peak results come at 9-12 months, with about 65% of men on finasteride showing measurable increases in hair count after 12 months.

Question 5

Is it too late to do anything about hair loss?

Accepted Answer

Probably not. As long as hair follicles are still producing something — even fine vellus hairs — treatments can potentially revive them. Most men in their 20s and 30s noticing thinning still have plenty of active follicles. Starting today is better than starting next year, regardless of where you're at.

Question 6

What's the difference between THICKR and Hims or Keeps?

Accepted Answer

Hims and Keeps are telehealth prescription services that ship the same treatments to everyone. THICKR doesn't prescribe or sell products — it analyzes your hair with AI, scores it objectively, and builds a personalized protocol based on your scan results, genetics, and preferences. Think of Hims as a pharmacy, THICKR as a coach.

Question 7

Does wearing hats cause hair loss?

Accepted Answer

No. Hair follicles get oxygen and nutrients from your bloodstream, not from air around your head. A study of 865 men found no association between hat-wearing and hair loss. Another study of identical twins found hat-wearers actually had less hair loss, likely due to sun protection.
