Hair Affiliate Program Comparison Checklist
Hair Affiliate Program Comparison Checklist
To compare hair affiliate programs fairly, group comparable program types (products, supplements, telehealth services), normalize payable events and terms into the same fields, review restrictions and evidence, build one comparison table, and publish it with dates, sources and clearly marked unknowns.
Hair programs differ more than they first appear. A cosmetic shampoo, a supplement subscription and a telehealth treatment plan pay differently and carry different rules. A good comparison makes those differences visible.
Select comparable hair program types
Compare within a type wherever possible:
- Cosmetic hair products
- Hair supplements
- Provider-led telehealth hair services (see MarketHealth's private hair loss category)
If you compare across types, label the type clearly in every row.
Normalize payable events and terms
| Field | Normalize as |
|---|---|
| Payable event | First order / subscription start / completed intake |
| Basis | Fixed / % gross / % net |
| Recurring | None / limited / ongoing |
| Attribution | Days and rule |
| Reversals | Causes and window |
| Markets | Countries or licensed states |
Review restrictions and evidence
- Allowed traffic, brand-bidding and coupon rules.
- Approved claims and whether they stay within the product type (no regrowth claims for cosmetics or supplements).
- For telehealth: clinician review, licensed states, pricing and cancellation.
- Product-specific evidence, if the advertiser provides it.
Build the comparison table
| Program | Type | Payable event | Basis | Recurring | Markets | Traffic notes | Last verified |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Program A | |||||||
| Program B |
Fill each cell from a source. Use "Confirm with program" where you can't verify a field.
Publish dates, sources and unknowns
- Show a "last verified" date for the table.
- Explain how programs are ordered.
- Disclose any commercial relationships near the top.
- Review on a schedule and update the date only when you've actually rechecked.

Comparing clinician-led hair programs
Prescription hair programs need extra columns that cosmetic products don't:
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Clinician review | A licensed clinician must be able to decline treatment |
| Licensed states and pharmacy | Prescription programs only serve certain states |
| Subscription terms | Renewal price, frequency and cancellation shown upfront |
| Photo rules | Before-and-after images must be real, unedited and consented |
Keep cosmetic products, supplements and prescription programs in separate rows of your comparison. See hair loss telehealth programs.
