What We Do

Life happens—and it takes a toll on your hair. Nutrafol is on a mission to prove that natural is not the alternative, it’s the future of hair health. Our co-founders, and many of our current team members, experienced hair thinning and saw an opportunity to grow.
Nutrafol couldn’t be just another untested alternative to hair drugs. We had to innovate beyond both hair vitamins and prescriptions. Our team of scientists and doctors take a scientifically rigorous approach to hair wellness research and the use of potent natural ingredients in clinically tested formulas.
We believe that when you take charge of your health and your hair growth, you also grow in other ways: in confidence, inner strength, and in feeling more empowered to help others around you grow too.

Come grow with us.
We’re a growing company. Everything we do, we do to help people grow into the best version of themselves.
