We know it’s not ‘just hair’

For many of us, our hair is tied to our identity, our self-esteem, and the way we show up in the world.

This isn’t about vanity. It’s the weight of the mirror before a first date, the invitations declined, the photos avoided, the memories missed.

And even though millions are navigating this, the secrecy makes it feel like we’re carrying it entirely alone.

We’re here to change that.

We want secrecy and shame to be a thing of the past, so we can focus on the support you deserve.

Designed intentionally,
by someone who’s lived it.

We’re not a beauty brand that noticed hair loss. We’re people with hair loss who decided to build something better.

That means formulas built around behavioural and cognitive needs, rather than quick fix growth solutions. Ingredients chosen for long-term health, and products that fit into the reality of living with hair loss every day.

No miracle claims. Just honest tools that help, built from lived experience.

Founder Story

Rose McSkimming – Founder, Heads Up

I’ve lived with trichotillomania for over 30 years. There isn’t a part of my life hair loss didn’t touch, or a single product that fixed it.

I built Heads Up because I realised no one else was going to solve this for me.

I wanted products that felt like they were designed for me, that acknowledged hair loss for women and the everyday impact this has. That made me feel seen, that gave me hope for the future.

Hair loss is deeply personal, and shows up in many ways. Heads Up isn’t a magic button that fixes everything (yet), but it’s built by someone who really understands, and I believe that matters.

Rose McSkimming, founder of Heads Up

“I need your help to get Heads Up into the hands of people who’ve been waiting for it.”

Be First.
Back the Launch.

We’re crowdfunding later this year to bring the first toolkit designed for trichotillomania, alopecia, and hair loss to life.

The best way to support Heads Up right now is simple - join the mailing list. You'll get early access to the crowdfunder, founder pricing, and the chance to be part of building it from the ground up.

Be part of the story. This is just the beginning.
