Ordering & shipping
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is free worldwide on orders over €100. Below that, the shipping cost for your country is shown at checkout before you pay.
How quickly is my order processed?
Order before 23:00 and your order is processed the same day. You'll receive an order confirmation immediately and a shipping confirmation with tracking as soon as your parcel is on its way.
Do I pay VAT or import duties in the EU?
No. Our stock ships from within the EU, so customers in Europe pay no import duties, customs handling fees or surprise charges — all prices include VAT. The price at checkout is the full price.
Is shipping discreet?
Yes — orders ship in plain packaging with no indication of the contents.
Can I track my order?
Yes. As soon as your order ships you'll receive an email with a track & trace link so you can follow your parcel to your door.
What is Shipping Protection in my cart?
Shipping Protection is an optional add-on (€2,50) that covers your order if it's lost or damaged in transit. It's added once per order and you can switch it off in the cart with the toggle if you don't want it.
Returns & 120-day guarantee
How does the 120-day money-back guarantee work?
If you've used your product consistently and see no results after 120 days, you get a replacement or your money back. Read exactly how it works on our satisfaction guarantee page.
How do I make a guarantee claim?
Email support@hairdealz.com within 120 days of receiving your order, with your order number, which product you used and how you used it. Our support team guides you through the next steps.
What is not covered by the guarantee?
The guarantee does not apply to allergic reactions — it's there for people who have not achieved results after 120 days of consistent use. If you react to a product, stop using it and consult your doctor or pharmacist, then contact us and we'll help where we can.
Can I return a product I haven't opened?
Yes. You can return unused, unopened products in their original condition within 14 days of receiving your order, in line with our Refund Policy and the EU right of withdrawal. Email support@hairdealz.com with your order number to start a return.
Who pays for return shipping?
If an item is defective, damaged or incorrect, we cover the return costs. For change-of-mind returns, return shipping is at your own cost. See the Refund Policy for details.
My order arrived damaged or incorrect — what now?
Sorry about that! Email support@hairdealz.com with your order number and a photo of what you received, and we'll put it right as quickly as possible.
Using minoxidil
Does minoxidil actually work?
Minoxidil is one of the few hair-loss treatments that's clinically proven and licensed for hereditary (male- and female-pattern) hair loss. Applied to the scalp daily, it helps regrow hair and slow further thinning. It works best when started early and used consistently.
How long until I see results?
Most users notice the first changes after 2–4 months, with clearer results at 3–6 months of consistent daily use. Judge your progress at the 6-month mark, not after a few weeks — regrowth follows the natural hair cycle, which is slow. Our month-by-month results guide shows the full timeline.
Why is my hair shedding more in the first weeks?
Some extra shedding early on can be a normal sign that follicles are shifting into a new growth phase. It usually settles within a few weeks. Don't stop — stopping resets your progress.
Foam or lotion — which should I choose?
Both contain the same active ingredient. The lotion is the classic format and usually cheaper; the foam dries faster, feels less greasy and skips propylene glycol, which suits sensitive scalps. The best choice is the one you'll use every day. Compare our lotions and foams, or read our foam vs lotion guide.
Should I use 2% or 5%?
Men's products are typically 5% used twice daily. For women there are 2% lotions (twice daily) and 5% once-daily foams — the schedules differ for a reason. Always follow the label and patient leaflet, and see our guide for women if you're choosing a strength.
Can women use men's minoxidil products?
Not without speaking to a pharmacist or doctor first. The men's twice-daily 5% schedule delivers a higher total daily dose than the licensed women's options, which is linked to a higher chance of unwanted facial hair growth. Women's formulations exist for exactly this reason.
What happens if I stop using minoxidil?
Minoxidil only works while you use it — if you stop, regrown hair is gradually lost again over the following months. That's why we sell multi-month supplies: consistency is what protects your results.
Are there side effects?
Common ones are mild: scalp dryness, itching or flaking, and the temporary shedding phase. Stop use and seek medical advice if you experience chest pain, a rapid or irregular heartbeat, dizziness, fainting or sudden unexplained weight gain. Our side-effects guide covers what's common, what's rare and what needs a doctor. For sensitive scalps, the Foligain low-alcohol formula is a good option.
Can I combine minoxidil with a derma roller?
Yes — microneedling is often paired with minoxidil. Use 0.5mm needles once or twice a week, keep the roller clean, and never apply minoxidil straight after rolling: wait until the skin has fully settled. Our derma roller guide explains needle sizes and technique, and our accessories collection has the tools.
Can I use Nizoral shampoo alongside minoxidil?
Yes. Ketoconazole shampoo and minoxidil do different jobs and don't conflict — just use them at different times of day rather than back to back, since a freshly washed wet scalp isn't ideal for a leave-on treatment. See our ketoconazole guide.
Products & brands
Are your products genuine?
Yes. We sell only original stock from the official brands — Kirkland Signature, Rogaine, Regaine, Foligain, Growplex, Nutrafol, Nizoral, Olaplex and K18 — in sealed original packaging, backed by our 120-day guarantee. Worried about fakes? Read our guide on how to identify counterfeit Kirkland.
What's the difference between Kirkland, Rogaine and Foligain?
They all use the same active ingredient, minoxidil. Rogaine — sold in Europe as Regaine — is the best-known brand name; Kirkland Signature offers the identical 5% strength at a lower price; Foligain also offers a low-alcohol formula for sensitive scalps. See our Kirkland vs Regaine comparison.
Is Rogaine the same as Regaine?
Yes — same treatment, different name per region. Rogaine is the American name, Regaine the European one, from the same brand family. Our Rogaine vs Regaine guide explains it in full.
Why is Kirkland so much cheaper than Regaine?
Kirkland is Costco's house brand: no advertising budget in the price, a simpler lotion format, same 5% minoxidil. The larger the pack, the bigger the saving — the 12-month supply works out at €13,33 per month. Full breakdown in our Kirkland price guide.
Do you sell Kirkland minoxidil foam for men?
No — Kirkland's men's foam has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer made. Kirkland's men's range is lotion-only; a Kirkland foam still exists in the women's formulation. For a men's foam, look at Rogaine, Foligain or Growplex foam.
