Grow visibly thicker, fuller hair
Hims has really given me my confidence back. My scalp was no longer showing as prominently as it was before the application and the fullness I had when I was younger started to reappear.
The improvements have been great in building confidence and stopping my hair loss.
The best part is that applying the medication is so easy, and treatment is super affordable. I'm happy to recommend Hims to anyone experiencing hair loss.
What started as me wanting hair for my engagement has come full circle to me having my hair back for my wedding, pretty cool.
After only 5 months of use I was already seeing a positive difference!! My hair is much fuller now and I couldn’t be happier! My confidence is up and my head is full of hair!
If I were talking to someone about hair treatment, I would say “Go for it!” I am very happy with my results from hims.
Love your hair. Your journey starts here.

Frequently asked questions about finasteride
What causes hair loss in men?
Male pattern baldness is the most common cause of hair loss. It is typically an inherited condition. As the condition progresses the natural hair growth cycle weakens and your hair follicles shrink, causing your hair to become shorter and finer. The exact cause for this type of hair loss is unknown but it is related to the production of the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Treatments that inhibit the production of DHT are sometimes effective in slowing, stopping, or reversing hair loss due to androgenic alopecia.
Does finasteride work?
Prescription finasteride (1mg dose prescribed for hair loss) has been clinically proven to reduce hair loss or increase hair regrowth in more than 90% of participants. Results are usually noticed after about 3-4 months of daily use. Continuous use of finasteride is essential, or new hair will be lost after one year of stopping the medication. (In comparison, topical minoxidil 5% is effective in stimulating hair regrowth in about 50% of men who use it consistently.)
Does finasteride cause sexual side effects?
As with any medication, there might be side effects. Sexual side effects of oral finasteride have been reported in 1–2% of men. For topical finasteride, skin, sexual, or psychological-related side effects are possible. Additionally, there's an increased risk of unintended exposure of the medication to others; avoid if pregnant or trying. Hims offers unlimited access to licensed providers so that you can ask questions and adjust your medication at any time.
How long does it take for finasteride to work?
If you are taking finasteride for hair loss, it may take 3-6 months before you start to notice results. Typically it takes closer to 12 months to see the best results. Finasteride starts working as soon as it’s absorbed by your body. This means that you’ll start blocking the conversion of testosterone and have lower DHT levels as soon as the first dose of finasteride gets into your system. However, you shouldn’t expect to see any changes in your hair for several months, even if you’re using the medication as directed.
Does finasteride cause weight gain?
No, weight gain is not considered a side effect of finasteride.
