An independent research site by RK.
Read the source, not the marketing.
I'm RK
Independent hair-loss researcher · Software engineer by training
I started losing my hair in my late twenties. The internet was full of conflicting advice — Reddit threads, sponsored videos, "miracle" oils, $4,000 clinic packages. I wanted to know what the actual peer-reviewed literature said, so I started reading it: PubMed, JAAD, British Journal of Dermatology, Cochrane reviews.
This site is the synthesis of that reading — what the evidence supports, what's marketing, and how to tell the difference. Every article has 5+ citations you can click through and check.
- 15articles
- 9topic pillars
- 75+PubMed/PMC refs
How I evaluate evidence
Four working principles applied to every claim on this site.
Source-rank everything
Cochrane > meta-analysis > double-blind RCT > single-blind RCT > observational > case report > expert opinion > marketing copy. I label each piece of evidence with its strength so you can decide how much to weigh it.
Caveats up front, not buried
When a centrepiece study is open-label, small-n, short follow-up, or industry-funded, I say so in the same paragraph that introduces the result. Skipping the limitation looks naive at best, dishonest at worst.
Cost-per-month, always
If a product is in a recommendation, the article includes a real US dollar cost-per-month and cost-per-result comparison. A 3× price for the brand-name version of a generic should justify itself or get called out.
Mechanism, not vibes
Every recommendation explains how it works on the follicle — receptor binding, vascular effect, telogen-to-anagen push, whatever the mechanism actually is. If I can't explain how it works, I won't tell you to buy it.
What I cover
Nine topic pillars, structured as hub-and-spoke. Click any to browse the articles.
Editorial standards
The short version of how the site is run. The full version lives on its own page.
- Citations are required. No "studies show" without a clickable PubMed/PMC link. Every numeric claim traces to its trial.
- Affiliate links are currently NOT active. When Amazon Associates is activated, every affiliate placement will carry a disclosure inline.
- AI assistance is disclosed. I use Claude (Anthropic) to help with drafting and editing. Every clinical claim, citation, and dose value is verified by me against the cited source before publishing.
- No paid placements. No sponsored articles, no pay-for-recommendation, no brand exchanges.
- Corrections are welcomed. If you spot a misquoted study, wrong dose, or stale citation, email me — I'll fix it and note the change in the article footer.
What I don't claim
Honesty markers. None of these are obvious from reading individual articles, so they belong here.
Contact & corrections
Replies usually within a few days. Sponsorship and link-exchange requests will be ignored.
Reporting an error
Include the article URL, the specific sentence or number that's wrong, and (ideally) a source for the corrected version. I'll fix it within a week and add a note at the article footer.
What's coming
Roadmap, not promises.
- Phase 2 (Months 4–6, 2026): cluster expansion — building 25 more cluster articles around each of the 9 anchors. Target 50 total articles, 5,000 monthly visitors.
- Phase 3 (Months 7–12, 2026): author-bio block on every article, dermatologist medical-review on 5–10 flagship pieces, email newsletter, affiliate activation with full disclosure.
- Forever: annual refresh of every article. The year in the title is a commitment — when 2027 rolls around, the article gets re-reviewed against newer evidence, not just renamed.
