Editorial standards.

All articles are commissioned to a small team of contributors with a background in medicine, science journalism, or biomedical research. Every byline links to an author page with the writer's credentials and full article history. We do not publish anonymous content.

Clinical claims (regrowth percentages, side-effect rates, mechanism of action) are sourced from peer-reviewed journals indexed on PubMed, randomised controlled trial records on ClinicalTrials.gov, and primary-source company filings — not from blogs, forums, or AI summaries.

Every article that makes a numerical or causal claim carries a References block at the bottom linking to the original studies. If a claim isn't cited, treat it as the writer's informed opinion, not a clinical fact.

• We don't recommend specific products in exchange for payment.
• We don't accept paid placements disguised as editorial.
• We don't take affiliate fees from prescription drug brands.
• We don't republish press releases without independent verification.
• We don't use AI to fabricate study results, quotes, or attributions.

Haircure has no equity, advisory, or paid relationships with any pharmaceutical company, hair transplant clinic, or supplement brand mentioned on this site. If that ever changes for a specific brand we will disclose it inline in any article that mentions them. Display advertising (Google AdSense) appears site-wide and is served programmatically — we have no relationship with advertisers and ads do not influence editorial coverage.

Articles on prescription treatments (finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, JAK inhibitors, etc.) are reviewed by a qualified clinician before publication. Articles on experimental science (gene therapy, follicle cloning, stem cells) are reviewed by a contributor with relevant subject-matter expertise.

Important:medical review here means “a clinician has read this and flagged anything inaccurate.” It is not a substitute for a consultation with your own doctor about your specific situation. Nothing on Haircure is medical advice.

Hair loss science moves fast. We re-review every article on a rolling annual cycle and any time a major trial result is published. When an article is updated substantively, the publication date is refreshed and a note is added near the top describing what changed.

If we get something wrong, we fix it visibly. Found an error? Email us at corrections@haircure.org with the article URL and the specific claim you're flagging. We respond to every correction request within 5 working days. Substantive corrections are noted at the bottom of the affected article.

Haircure exists to make hair loss research understandable to non-specialists. We will never replace a hair loss specialist, a trichologist, or your GP. Our job is to help you ask better questions when you talk to them.

If a Haircure article ever sounds like it's telling you what to do with your body, you're reading too much into it. Bring it up with a qualified clinician.
