Roots vs Happy Head — Compare and Decide for Yourself
Ding, ding, ding. One telehealth company is the clear winner: Roots. Roots gives you hair growth treatment success guaranteed, based on your biology, plus a Guarantee and warranty, all while saving you hundreds of dollars of trial and error. What’s not to love?
Why have 10,000+ people chosen Roots?
Roots’ focus has been on engineering a perfect care program.
(And it has the awards and ★★★★☆ reviews to prove it.)
Let’s explore how Roots compares to Happy Head.
Roots is a decorated champ of pharma grade tech. Happy Head is like a stronger hammer.
The Roots Process
Physician guided based on clinical breakthrough
Our leading researcher invented our protocol which takes into account thyroid panels, estrogen/testosterone ratios, serum ferritin, diurnal cortisol slopes, and selective autoimmune or mitochondrial assessments, we can then pinpoint individual factors disrupting the hair cycle.
Personalized based on biomarkers
Using DNA, epigenetic, and blood biomarkers, our process compares healthy and compromised follicles to create a customized plan that addresses whole-body needs and targeted local solutions.
100+ Formulations
Since we have more than 20 ingredients we are using and not everyone needs all of them, we are not trying to find the 10 most robust formulations — we believe it’s better to provide real personalization so people would consume what they need/want.
Doctor Care on Demand
Our doctors spend dedicated, one-on-one time with every patient — exploring the full treatment process, discussing dosages, side effects, and long-term plans. This deep connection helps patients fully understand and trust their care every step of the way.
Money Back Guarantee
If you don’t see results within 180 days.
The Happy Head Process
The Most Robust formulation
Happy Head focus on dutestride and 10 ingredients implies they want to provide the strongest formulation, which could help in some cases, but not if you have multiple contributing factors or where both internal and topical therapies are needed for synergy. This approach can cause unnecessary side effects, irritate the scalp, and overlook the real cause of hair loss, making you so dependent that it might cause side effects after getting off.
Made with FDA-approved ingredients
Customize formulas with the strongest FDA-approved ingredients like Finasteride (or Dutasteride) and Minoxidil.
Personalization
Based on a quiz, which captures only about 30% of patient needs usually linked to age, intake method (topical vs. oral), and gender.
Roots outgrows Happy Head. Fewer chemicals, fewer experiments.
Let's break down the differences.
Happy Head hands you the same formula month after month. Roots gives you doctor-guided, data-backed care that adapts — so you actually know what's working and what isn't.
Both Roots and Happy Head help with hair loss. But they don’t have that…
-
Backed by 20 years of dermatology research, real medical expertise guides your treatment — not guesswork.
-
Progress is tracked and measured, so you know what’s working and what’s not.
-
Our testing procedures use data from both the body and the specific dysfunction area.
Why Roots is better than Happy Head.
-
Real Personalization vs. One-Size-Fits-All
Roots tailors 100+ possible formulations to your unique biology (DNA, bloodwork, hormones, lifestyle). Happy Head just matches you to one of ~10 “strongest” formulas based mostly on a short quiz.
-
Doctor-Guided Care vs. Limited Telehealth
Roots’ doctors guide every step — from biomarker testing to dosage adjustments — with on-demand support. Happy Head calls it “telehealth,” but real one-on-one medical care isn’t built into the process.
-
Guaranteed Results vs. Risk on You
Roots backs treatments with a 180-day money-back guarantee and long-term tracking. Happy Head offers no guarantee, meaning patients carry the cost of trial and error.
So to sum it up:
-
Roots gives you 100+ personalized formulations based on your biology. Happy Head limits you to about 10 set-per formulas.
-
Roots offers doctor-guided care on-demand. Happy Head gives you a basic telehealth “hair specialist.”
-
Roots backs every plan with a 180-day money-back guarantee. Happy Head offers no guarantee.
-
Roots adapts your treatment using biomarkers and progress tracking. Happy Head repeats the same formula month after month.
-
Roots is built on 20+ years of dermatology research. Happy Head relies mostly on stronger doses of FDA-approved drugs.
See How Roots and Happy Head
Treat Hair Loss
Roots’ follicle-level analysis, personalized formulations, and doctor-guided care work for every type of hair loss. Find your treatment style.
-
Overall Thinning
By analyzing plucked follicles and blood markers, Roots identifies systemic triggers (hormonal, nutritional, stress-related) and builds a treatment plan from 100+ formulations. Happy Head relies on a fixed dutasteride/minoxidil approach that may not address the full picture.
-
Thinning at the Hairline
Roots pinpoints follicle miniaturization patterns at the hairline and delivers both local and systemic solutions tailored to your biology. Happy Head offers one-size-fits-all formulas that may slow, but not fully correct, early recession.
-
Bald Patches
Roots’ follicle-level testing can uncover autoimmune or inflammatory disruptions unique to patchy loss, then guide precision therapies to reactivate dormant follicles. Happy Head’s limited quiz-based personalization risks missing the root cause entirely.

Roots uses advanced follicle-level analysis and personalization while saving you from endless trial and error. Fair fight? Frankly, no.
