Hims Hair Review: Inside the Lifestyle Brand's Treatment Plans

Hims isn't just a telehealth platform—it's a cultural phenomenon. They've successfully rebranded male wellness from clinical to cool, positioning hair loss treatment alongside skincare and sexual health as part of modern masculinity.

But beneath the pastel packaging and Instagram ads, do the actual products deliver? Let's break down Hims' hair loss offerings, pricing, and real user experiences.

Product Lineup: What Hims Actually Offers

1. The Rx Hair Loss Chew (Standout Innovation)

This is Hims' killer product for 2025. A citrus-flavored chewable that combines:

• Oral Minoxidil 3mg: Convenience of a pill, efficacy of topical
• Finasteride 1.1mg: DHT blocker in one chewable
• Vitamins B5, B6, Biotin: Supporting nutrients

Why it matters: "Pill fatigue" is real. Many men skip doses because swallowing pills feels clinical. A chewable mint removes that friction. This is a high-conversion product for men who want results without the medical ritual.

Pricing: ~$40/month (includes both minoxidil and finasteride in one product)

2. Topical Finasteride & Minoxidil Spray

A 2-in-1 spray combining 0.3% finasteride + 6% minoxidil. Higher concentration than standard 5% Rogaine, fast-drying alcohol base.

Pros: One application = dual treatment. Saves time.
Cons: Can be drying on the scalp. Some users report itching.

Pricing: ~$35-50/month depending on billing cycle

3. Hair Power Pack (The Bundle)

Comprehensive kit including:

• Finasteride pills (1mg)
• Minoxidil drops (5%)
• Volumizing shampoo
• Biotin gummies

For whom: Men who want the complete ecosystem. The shampoo and gummies are aesthetic bonuses—real efficacy comes from finasteride and minoxidil.

Pricing: ~$70-90/month bundled

User Experience: The Hims Advantage

Hims excels at removing friction:

• Free telehealth consultation: Fill out a questionnaire, physician reviews within 24 hours
• Discreet packaging: Arrives in plain boxes, no "HAIR LOSS MEDICATION" labels
• Auto-refill: Never run out. Subscription model ensures compliance.
• Responsive customer service: Chat support, easy cancellation

This polish matters. Hair loss treatment only works if you use it consistently. Hims' UX design maximizes adherence.

Pricing Breakdown

• Oral Finasteride only: ~$22/month
• Topical Minoxidil only: ~$15/month
• Chewable (Fin + Oral Min): ~$40/month
• Spray (Topical Fin + Min): ~$35-50/month
• Hair Power Pack: ~$70-90/month

The Value Question: Hims isn't the cheapest (that's Keeps). But the convenience, branding, and UX polish justify a slight premium for many users.

Who Hims Is Best For

Ideal Candidates:

• Men who value brand recognition and aesthetic experience
• Those who want multiple formulation options (pills, chewables, spray)
• Users willing to pay $5-15/month more for convenience and polish
• Men already in the Hims ecosystem for skincare or ED products

Skip Hims If:

• Budget is your #1 concern (Keeps is cheaper for identical medications)
• You don't care about branding and just want generic pills
• You're looking for ultra-customized formulas (Happy Head offers higher concentrations)

Hims vs. Competitors

Hims vs. Keeps: Hims offers more variety (chewables, sprays). Keeps offers lower prices. If you want options, choose Hims. If you want value, choose Keeps.

Hims vs. Roman: Very similar offerings. Roman focuses slightly more on oral minoxidil. Hims has better brand recognition. Flip a coin.

Hims vs. Happy Head: Happy Head targets non-responders with custom 8% minoxidil formulas. Hims targets the mass market with standardized (but effective) treatments.

The Bottom Line

Hims is the Apple of telehealth hair loss. You're paying for design, convenience, and brand. The underlying medications (finasteride, minoxidil) are identical to generic alternatives, but the delivery system and user experience are premium.

If you value a polished experience and don't want to think about your regimen, Hims is worth the slight upcharge. If you're extremely price-sensitive and comfortable with barebones service, generic alternatives offer better value.

Either way, the most important decision is starting treatment. Hims makes that easy. For many men, that ease is worth $10-20 extra per month.
