You do not need to organise everything before you begin. Start with the basics, then add more detail only when it helps clarify the picture.

Global Hair Intelligence Network

A connected system for biology, treatment, and surgical transparency.

How it works

Three simple steps to your personalised plan.

Step 1

Create your secure account

Begin with a short guided intake about your hair loss history, health context, and goals.

Step 2

Add photos or blood tests if available

You can start with the basics and upload scalp photos or blood work later if it helps clarify the picture.

Step 3

Receive your personalised review

A senior trichologist interprets your case and outlines next steps, usually within 12–24 hours after complete submission.

No referral is required. Begin with the essentials, then add more detail only when it helps. Any paid support comes later, after your initial review, if you decide you need it.

Behind the three steps:

  • Triage — Every case is prioritised and routed to a senior trichologist (30+ years experience).
  • Review — One specialist interprets intake, bloods, and photos using our biological framework.
  • Summary — Written diagnostic summary and next-step recommendations, typically within 12–24 hours, depending on completeness and case complexity.

What we analyse

Key factors that influence your hair — in plain language.

Hormone mapping

Hormones

Androgen sensitivity and hormone balance.

Blood context

Nutrients

Iron, vitamins and minerals that support hair.

Scalp environment

Scalp health

Inflammation and follicle environment.

Risk profile

Genetics

Pattern and progression context.

  • DHT pathways — 5-alpha reductase, androgen receptor sensitivity, and how they affect the follicle.
  • Thyroid markers — TSH, T3/T4, conversion; impact on growth cycle.
  • Iron / ferritin thresholds — serum ferritin and iron studies in relation to hair shedding.
  • Inflammatory markers — CRP, scalp environment, and chronic inflammation.

Example output

Hair Risk Score & plan

Hair Risk Score

68/ 100

Stable range

Projected progression (interpretive; your report includes full context).

Example treatment plan

  • Optimise ferritin (target 70+ ng/mL) — recheck in 3 months
  • Review thyroid panel with your GP; maintain TSH in optimal range
  • Consider topical support; we'll recommend based on your profile
  • Reassess in 6 months with follow-up bloods and photos

The Hair Risk Score and related indices (e.g. DHT Risk Index™, Follicle Stability Rating™) are derived from your biology and history. They are interpretive tools to guide strategy — not diagnostic labels. Your report includes written interpretation and next-step recommendations.

Begin with a free hair analysis

Create a secure account, complete your intake, and receive your personalised review. Most cases are reviewed within 12–24 hours after complete submission. No referral required. Optional paid support is there if you need it after your first review.

Questions before you start

Is the initial analysis really free?

Yes. You can start your initial hair analysis at no cost.

Do I need blood tests before I begin?

No. You can begin with symptoms, history, and any information you already have. Blood tests can be added later.

Do I need scalp photos to start?

No. Photos are helpful, but they are not required to begin.

Do I need a referral?

No referral is required.

When do I pay?

Only if you choose optional services: a blood request letter, a follow-up blood analysis review, membership, or the separate one-hour trichologist appointment. Your first clinical review pathway begins free.

What does membership include?

Membership is $10 per month and includes blood request letters, blood analysis reviews, ongoing support while your membership is active, and two 30-minute one-on-one Zoom consultations per calendar year — not per month, and not a lifetime allowance.

What is the difference between membership Zoom sessions and the paid appointment?

Membership includes two 30-minute one-on-one Zoom sessions per calendar year at no extra charge while you are subscribed. The optional trichologist appointment is different: a dedicated 1-hour session for $120 USD when you want extended time beyond those included visits.

Do I need to book an appointment to get started?

No. You can start with the free initial analysis first.

Can HLI prescribe medication?

HLI helps guide investigation, interpretation, and next steps, but prescriptions must be handled through the appropriate doctor or prescriber.
