Short bio (byline / ~60 words)
Drasko has spent 20+ years in fintech and payments, currently as a product manager, where his whole job is turning complicated, high-stakes information into decisions people can actually trust. He's also living with androgenetic alopecia — and RunawayHair is where he applies that same rigor to his own hair loss: reading the actual studies, grading the evidence honestly, and tracking what happens. Not a doctor. An evidence-obsessed patient.
Long bio (About-page / author-page version)
Here's the truth: I didn't set out to build a hair-loss website. I set out to answer a question I couldn't get a straight answer to — what actually works, and how would I even know if it were working on me?
I've spent more than 20 years in fintech and payments. Today I work as a product manager, and if you boil that job down to one sentence, it's this: take a pile of confusing, contradictory, high-stakes information and turn it into a decision you can defend. Payments is an unforgiving place to learn that skill. When money moves, "I think this is probably right" isn't good enough. You cite your sources, you grade your confidence, and you separate what's proven from what's marketing.
Then androgenetic alopecia showed up in my own mirror.
So I did the thing I do at work. I went to the primary research — the randomized trials, the meta-analyses, the ClinicalTrials.gov entries — instead of the forums and the ads. I built myself an evidence map that graded every treatment from A (proven) to D (mechanistic hope). I started photographing my own scalp under controlled conditions so I could actually measure change instead of guessing. And I got obsessed with one uncomfortable truth: most of what's written about hair loss is either selling you something or afraid to say "we don't really know yet."
RunawayHair is that work, made public.
What I am: someone who reads the studies, shows his sources, grades the evidence without flinching, and documents his own results honestly — including the parts that don't work.
What I'm not: a doctor, a dermatologist, or a trichologist. I don't diagnose anyone and I never will. Everything here is educational — the facts and the trade-offs — so you can have a better conversation with a clinician who can actually treat you.
That's the deal. No hype, no miracle cures, no affiliate link pretending to be advice. Just the evidence, graded honestly, plus one guy's real attempt to fight his own hair loss with it.
