How It All Started

Hair Growth Calculator was founded in 2021 by a group of hair health enthusiasts and developers frustrated by the lack of personalized, science-based tools for estimating hair growth timelines. Everything available was either a crude "divide by half an inch per month" formula or locked behind expensive consultations.

Over the next two years, our team collaborated with trichology researchers and dermatological literature to build a robust, multi-factor growth model. What began as a side project grew into the most comprehensive free hair growth estimation platform on the web, serving users across 120+ countries.

Today, Hair Growth Calculator is operated by Hair Growth Calculator LLC, an independent digital health information company based in the United States. We are not affiliated with any pharmaceutical company, hair product brand, or clinic — ensuring our guidance is always unbiased and user-first.
