WHO IT’S FOR: Formulated with a blend of botanical extracts and emollients to help maintain a healthy, conditioned scalp, alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) to promote exfoliation to help keep hair follicles open, and minoxidil to boost hair follicle activity and hair protein production, this anti-hair loss foam creates a perfect healthy hair environment for those at the early stages of hair thinning.

ABOUT THE BRAND: Nutrafol is a hair growth supplement brand that offers science-backed wellness and hair health solutions to support different bio-specific needs during various life stages and lifestyles.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW: This serum also contains copper tripeptide-1, which holds lengthening and thickening properties and stimulates collagen production, leading to fuller, healthier hair. 

WHAT IT DOES: Made with a blend of botanical ingredients like argan oil, seaweed, and saw palmetto and nettle extracts, this biotin-infused shampoo strengthens hair follicles to help increase thickness while reducing hair thinning and breakage. The gentle shampoo is plant-based, making it especially good for those with a sensitive scalp.

USER REVIEW: “Wow. I have been consistently using this every night and giving my scalp a good massage, and I have seen really great results! I have used other products for hair thinning in the past and never noticed very good results. This serum makes my hair look and feel so much thicker, it's crazy. The thin spots at my temples are filling in, and overall I feel like my hair has more body to it. Definitely something I will continue to repurchase over and over.”

WHAT IT DOES: Kate Blanc’s Organic Castor Oil is 100% pure and USDA Certified, so you can trust you’re getting authentic, natural castor oil without any harmful chemicals or ingredients. It’s also cold-pressed, unrefined, and made in a facility that complies with the highest manufacturing standards to ensure that all products are top quality.

WHAT IT DOES: This nutrient-dense pre-shampoo treatment is formulated with rosemary extract to minimize hair loss, neem oil to soothe and calm the scalp, and hemisqualane to smooth and strengthen hair while also protecting color and reducing damage.

ABOUT THE BRAND: Named after Jonathan Van Ness, best known as the grooming expert on the Netflix Series Queer Eye, JVN is an innovative haircare brand that uses one patented, award-winning ingredient in every one of its products: hemisqualane. This ingredient is an effective, clean, superior product to silicone that adds softness, slip, shine, and bounce to hair without compromising long-term hair health.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: The BondiBoost Hair Growth Shampoo is engineered to transform the hair with its power-packed formula, which includes vitamins and minerals (think horsetail extract and saw palmetto extract) and a blend of hair growth stimulating oils (peppermint, rosemary, and sea buckthorn).

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW: BondiBoost recommends using this shampoo three times per week for optimal results.

WHAT IT DOES: This hair growth duo features the brand’s very own Karmatin b-SILK protein, which absorbs dirt and oil, locks in hydration, improves the appearance of cuticle and cell damage caused by heat and coloring, and protects hair color from salt and chlorine water. It's an ideal haircare option for the hot days of summer.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW: The Vegamour Gro shampoo and conditioner are completely vegan and sulfate-free, and they're recommended for all hair types and textures.

WHAT IT DOES: This plant-based serum is formulated with a combination of clinically tested, vegan phyto-actives (think turmeric and red clover) that work in tandem to help support healthy hair follicles while soothing the scalp and revitalizing hair from root to tip. 

USER REVIEW: “My hair was really unhealthy—it didn’t curl anymore, and it was dry, flaky, and BRITTLE from heat exposure and dyeing. This serum has helped my hair in so many ways: hydration, length, restoration, and minimizing hair loss. The only con is that it takes a while to work (as it is all natural), but I have very sensitive skin, so I prefer to go this route.”
