Prevention For Men.

MANE & STEEL is a U.S. telehealth company for men who want to keep their hair. Every protocol is built around prescription oral dutasteride, the DHT blocker that hits both enzymes your body uses to make DHT. Oral minoxidil and a dutasteride + minoxidil topical are available as add-ons.

You order online, a licensed U.S. physician reviews your health intake, and your medication ships to your door every 90 days. We serve all 50 states.

I Didn’t Start This
As A Business Idea.

My crown started thinning at 18. I did what most guys do: finasteride, Rogaine, laser combs, supplements. I kept losing ground, and I ended up with three hair transplants. The first one failed.

Meanwhile I was working as a Doctor of Physical Therapy in Los Angeles, rehabbing athletes and executives, and watching men quietly lose confidence because nobody gave them the truth. The hair loss industry runs on marketing: influencer scripts, supplements, hope in a bottle.

I didn’t find dutasteride until after my second transplant. It had been on the market since 2001. Nobody told me. So in June 2024 I built the company I wish had existed when I was 18.

Age 18
Crown starts thinning. Finasteride and everything else the internet sells.
2019 · Transplant #1
FUE. About 500 of roughly 3,000 grafts survived.
2021 · Transplant #2
FUT. Finally found dutasteride and switched to oral dutasteride + oral minoxidil.
2023 · Transplant #3
FUT, targeting the crown.
June 2024
Founded MANE & STEEL. Dutasteride-first from day one.

We’re Not Here
To Sell You Hope.

Hair loss is medical

DHT drives male pattern hair loss. We treat it with prescription medication and real physicians. No supplements, no 10-ingredient topicals.

Dutasteride, not finasteride

Finasteride blocks one of the two enzymes that make DHT. Dutasteride blocks both, so it’s the only DHT blocker we offer.

Why dutasteride →

Start early

Hair you keep is a lot easier than hair you have to grow back. Our focus is men 18 to 30 who want to stop it before it shows.

Honest about the trade-offs

Dutasteride has real side effects, and your hair loss comes back if you stop. We tell you that up front.
