Frequently asked questions
Questions? Answered.
Can I use MH-01 alongside other treatments (finasteride, minoxidil, etc.)?
Yes, MH-01 is a great supplemental product to enhance other treatments. It works through mechanisms that aren’t shared with mainstream therapies, growth-factor signaling (FGF-7, VEGF), the Wnt/β-catenin pathway (WNT10B), and scalp-environment support, so it complements finasteride, minoxidil, and others rather than overlapping with them.
How does MH-01 promote hair growth?
MH-01 works at the scalp and the follicle through seven actives, each backed by published research:
- Caffeine: energizes the follicle and extends the active growth (anagen) phase; studied head-to-head with minoxidil.
- Adenosine: increases the proportion of thicker, terminal hairs.
- Methyl vanillate: activates the Wnt/β-catenin pathway (WNT10B), a key hair-growth signal.
- Chitosan: switches on follicle growth-factor signaling (FGF-7, VEGF) and helps carry the other actives deeper.
- Niacinamide: supports the scalp environment and the proportion of thicker hairs.
- Panthenol (B5): supports the active-growth rate and the keratinocytes that build the hair shaft.
- Zinc PCA: balances scalp sebum and supports the hair cycle.
No filler. Every ingredient earns its place. You can read the studies and effect sizes in the science section.
Does MH-01 interfere with my hormones?
No. MH-01 is a topical serum that works locally at the scalp, and its actives work through non-hormonal mechanisms, caffeine on the growth phase, adenosine and chitosan on follicle signaling and growth factors (FGF-7, VEGF), methyl vanillate on the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, and zinc PCA on scalp balance. None of them act on hormones the way some hair-loss drugs (such as finasteride) do, so you get follicle and scalp support without the hormone-related side effects.
How does MH-01 compare to current FDA-approved treatments for hair loss?
Many FDA-approved treatments rely on a single mechanism and can come with hormonal side effects or an initial shedding phase. MH-01 takes a gentler, multi-active approach, seven clinically-backed ingredients that support scalp health and the follicle’s natural growth cycle, with no hormones involved and no shedding phase, in a lightweight serum made for easy daily use. MH-01 is a cosmetic serum and is not an FDA-approved drug or intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any condition.
How soon will I see results?
Hair grows in cycles, so consistency matters more than speed. Stick with it. The follicle needs time to complete a full growth cycle.
Is it suitable for all hair types?
Yes. MH-01 is formulated to work at the scalp and follicle, so it suits all hair types and textures, straight, wavy, curly, or coily, and works for color-treated hair. It’s designed to be applied directly to the scalp in thinning areas, where it absorbs in without leaving residue. Naturally derived penetration enhancers like chitosan and dimethyl isosorbide help the actives sink in rather than sit on top. If you have a sensitive scalp or a known allergy, review the full ingredient list and patch test first.
How do I use it in my routine?
Part your hair to expose the scalp, spray MH-01 directly onto the areas you want to target, and gently massage it in with your fingertips. Use it daily, after showers works well, and there’s no need to rinse. As long as your scalp is clean, you can reapply throughout the day as you wish. For best results, use consistently every day.
Does MH-01 help with scalp sebum?
Yes. We specifically formulated MH-01 to address excess oil at the scalp. Zinc PCA was added to target the sebaceous glands and help regulate sebum production, keeping the scalp balanced rather than greasy or congested. A healthier, better-balanced scalp is a better environment for hair to grow, and it helps your hair stay fresher between washes.
How does MH-01 make my hair feel?
Lightweight, but not watery. It stays where you spray it and won’t trickle down (unless you really soak one spot), and it leaves no residue if massaged in. There’s none of that “hair product” feel, nothing sticky, stiff, or crunchy. What you do feel is a light volumizing texture: that’s the chitosan gripping the base of the hair and forming a thin film that lifts and adds body.
Note: the exact feel varies with your hair type and how much you use. Finer hair tends to notice the light volumizing lift most, while thicker or coarser hair may feel it more subtly. It can also feel slightly crunchy if it isn’t rubbed in, so massage it into the scalp and roots.
Does MH-01 have a scent?
It has a light vanilla-like scent, which comes from the methyl vanillate active. At a molecular level it’s nearly identical to vanillin, the compound that gives real vanilla beans their scent. We never add fragrances; they tend to irritate the scalp, which is the opposite of what we’re going for.
Is MH-01 clear? Will it tint blond or light hair?
In the bottle it has a white color, but it goes on clear once massaged into the scalp, no pigment, no tint, no lasting color transfer, so it’s safe for any hair color, including blond, gray, and color-treated hair.
Is MH-01 safe to use with microneedling?
Yes, MH-01 is safe to use alongside microneedling.
Can I use MH-01 on other parts of my body, beard, eyebrows, etc.?
Yes. We formulated MH-01 for the scalp, but it’s such a clean, gentle formula that it works anywhere on the body, so it’s great for areas like the beard and eyebrows too. A few of our beta testers even tried it on blemishes and reported good results.
