Pick your chapter
The Hair Library isn't a clinic directory — it's a research library. Every shelf is organized around one question. Tell us where you are; we'll pull the right shelf. Surgery is sometimes the answer. Often it isn't.
Norwood scale, common causes, when it's medical vs cosmetic. Read first — most regret skipping this step.
Start with Chapter 1Evidence-scored shortlist — minoxidil, finasteride, dutasteride. Strength of studies + real outcome data, not marketing.
Open the product indexVerified clinics ranked on outcome data — Would-Do-Again %, donor preservation, journey volume. No paid placements.
Browse the clinic catalogPer-graft pricing across cities, total cost over 12 months including meds + recovery. Product vs procedure side-by-side.

Various 'Ayurvedic' / DIY
A folk remedy with a single small 2002 study and no replication. Heavily marketed in India; clinically unproven.

Evidence
₹400–1,500/mo

Alpecin / Plantur / others
In-vitro caffeine effects are real. Translating them via a 2-minute scalp wash is not. Minimal clinical evidence.

Various consumer brands
Clinical microneedling works at 1.5–2.5 mm with adjuncts. Consumer rollers at 0.5 mm don't reach the bulge stem cells. Not the same intervention.
