Welcome to Hairline Helpline.


I'm a UK-trained doctor with a deep personal connection to hair loss. My own journey started at the age of just 20.
In the early stages, like many, I felt overwhelmed, misinformed, and unsure where to turn. What I needed back then was honest guidance, a clear path, and someone who understood the emotional and clinical sides of hair loss.
That’s why I created Hairline Helpline, to give you the clarity, confidence, and options I wish I had at the start. Whether you're just noticing changes or exploring treatments, I'm here to help you make informed, empowered decisions.

Hair loss can be triggered by genetics, stress, hormonal changes, or medical conditions. Understanding the root cause is the first step to finding the right solution for you.
In androgenic alopecia, which is characterised by male or female pattern baldness driven by genetics, the primary driver of hair loss is the excess production or sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Absolutely. Many success stories with hair loss treatments are well-documented, ranging from surgical, medical, cosmetic, and camouflage techniques. Some act as cures, some act as stabilisers, and some are intended to buy time until a definitive solution.
However, the effectiveness of treatments, particularly medical or drug treatment, varies depending on how the person responds to them. Unfortunately, in the world of hair loss, this variation is significant, and therefore, your mileage may vary.
As a consequence, many incidents where people haven't been so lucky have been published online, which can deter people from even trying. While these cases are valid, in general, posts warning others about the limited effectiveness and side effects tend to outweigh success stories in attention and visibility, skewing the reality. Those who reach success with hair restoration tend to drop their engagement on online forums and continue with their lives.
If you notice sudden or patchy hair loss, or if it’s affecting your confidence, reaching out to a specialist can provide clarity and peace of mind.
In many cases, yes. Early intervention and the right care can make a big difference. Every journey is unique, and support is always available.
