Happy Head vs Rogaine
Happy Head: A dermatologist-led compounding service that has stopped publishing what anything costs. Its own FAQ gives one figure - compounded formulas run $59 to $119 a month - and the price for your formula appears only after you have finished the questionnaire.
Rogaine: The original over-the-counter minoxidil, and the reason this index includes a shelf product at all: it is the option most people reach for first, and it is not the cheapest way to buy the molecule.

| Watch out for | You cannot find out what Happy Head will charge you without completing a dermatology questionnaire first. Every per-product price it used to publish was gone by October 2026; the only number on the site is a $59-$119 range for compounded formulas, and the standalone orals are described as cheaper without saying by how much. Re-checked by hand on 24 Oct 2026. | Rogaine is the brand everyone knows and it is not the cheapest minoxidil here: Keeps sells 5% topical minoxidil at $10 a month and Hers at $12.67, both with a clinician attached. Rogaine's own page sends you to retailers rather than selling direct, so what you pay depends on which one you click. It is minoxidil only - there is no finasteride or dutasteride route here at any price. |
