HairBench gives clear, evidence-graded answers to common scalp and hair problems, plus honest testing of the scalp-care tools that claim to fix them.
What HairBench is
A lot of hair advice online is either a sales pitch or a guess. HairBench aims to be neither. For each question we cover, such as why hair sheds, what helps a flaky scalp, or whether a popular remedy works, we look at what the research actually shows, grade how strong that evidence is, and explain it in plain language.
Who runs HairBench
HairBench is run by Naeem Islam, Writer and Researcher, Hair Solutions.
What we do
- Answer real reader questions about scalp and hair problems.
- Summarize studies and trusted medical sources, and show how strong the evidence is using our four evidence grades (see How We Grade the Evidence).
- Cite our sources so you can check them yourself.
- Update articles when new evidence appears or when we find a mistake.
What we don't do
- We don't diagnose conditions or tell you what is causing your hair or scalp problem.
- We don't prescribe treatments or tell you which medicine to take.
- We don't promise hair regrowth. Nothing on this site is a guaranteed fix.
- We don't accept payment from brands for coverage.
If you have a health concern, please see a doctor or dermatologist. Our Medical Disclaimer explains when that is especially important.
