Tressless is a popular website and community[1] built around the subject of hair loss and alopecia[2], going back to at least 2008[3], and is the "largest hair loss community and research database in the world"[4]. It serves as a support network and informational resource for individuals experiencing hair loss, offering science, user-generated content on treatments, and personal experiences. Popular subjects include treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride, side effects[5], debates around support from doctors[6], and the impact of hair loss in popular culture[7]. Occasionally, experts in the field of dermatology and trichology contribute to the discussions[8], providing professional insights and answering user questions.

In 2024, Tressless launched a ChatGPT bot[9] that semantically searches "many thousands of research articles and community sentiment"[10]
