The Hair Trial

Currently Recruiting

30 Jul 2026

Up to $27,460

Melbourne, Australia

This study is testing a potential new treatment aimed at slowing, stopping, or even reversing hair loss. By taking part, you’ll contribute directly to hair loss research while receiving expert medical care and guidance throughout the process. Participants are closely supported at every step, with regular check-ins and access to our study team for any questions. Your involvement could help improve treatments for people experiencing hair thinning or balding.

This study is designed for healthy volunteers and is not specifically targeting individuals with a diagnosed hair loss condition, although having some hair thinning does not automatically exclude you.
