The History of Hair Loss in Men

Currently, half of all men will experience hair loss sometime in their lifetime. But what exactly causes male patterned baldness? Based on scientific studies, the primary reason for hair loss in men is genetics.

In other words, the pattern in hair loss is inherited by family members, with some men experiencing hair loss starting in their teens. It is still unclear in the medical community why hair loss is triggered by hormonal changes. The condition also can make hair finer, thinner, and softer. Temporary hair loss can be attributed to multiple factors such as stress, shock, medical issues, and grooming.

Why hims?

At hims.com you can find a variety of solutions for the problems men face everyday, like hair loss, ED, and Weight Loss.

If prescribed, Hims ships to you for free in discreet packaging. And the best part is that  the entire process is 100% online.

  1. Finasteride: is a prescription medication used specifically in the promotion of hair volume and the health of hair with expected results in three to six months.

How this company has five stars I will never know. The reviews say it all. several messed up orders (sent wrong items) with zero response to email, number I finally got after digging for an hour is never answered by a human being and email after email sent to cancel order after Family Doctor said to stop taking finasteride with ZERO response, I've finally been reduced to contacting my credit card company and requesting a stop through them! This company is an absolute joke to deal with and I will NEVER refer anyone to them EVER!!!

Signed up for the $5 first month offer. I've yet to receive that order, it's still pending in my account. However, they charged me $43.00 for my 2nd month this morning. Their phone number is only a recording, no live customer support. Email response says they are 2-3 days from being able to respond to you.

I bought this product for my boyfriend, after he used it for a couple of months we began seeing regrowth. However he started having sinus problems, ear aches, and severe headaches. He went to the doctor and they couldn't find anything wrong or cause of all this. I was alarmed when they gave him an ear exam and found blood! He was taking all the meds the doctor prescribed to no avail. We decided that it must be the hims topical solution. So he stopped using it, washed it out of his head and is now feeling better. No more ear aches, headaches, or as many sinus problems as before. We don't know for sure if the hims was the culprit or not, all we know is that he has been feeling better and... Read More

Do not go for the 5$ trial. I did and could not get out if it. There is NO way to cancel online. If you can get through to "support" they will say that they'll cancel your account but you will still get billed. Also, they charge 18$ for 1 bottle of minoxidil and I went to Walmart and got 3 of the exact same thing for 14$. Seriously a big rip off. STAY AWAY!!

Hims is a scam. I completed the lengthy telemedicine consulation for Finasteride and was rejected for no reason. I tried calling but no one answers the phone. They have a voicemail but no one returns those either. When I finally received a response to the online messaging, the agent told me I would have to go see a real doctor. Hims had already charged my card and sent me one bottle of biotin gummies which were so full of sugar I ended up throwing them out. When I asked for a refund through the online messaging they charged my credit card again! This time it was for more money and I ended up having to call my credit card company to have it canceled. I wish I never gave them my information... Read More

No way to contact Customer Service. Emails and voicemails to this company receive no reply. No one answers the phones, and they always roll over to voicemails that are ignored.
