12 Best Hair-Growth Products for Thinning and Shedding, According to Experts

 




 

3. Grow Gorgeous Hair Density Serum

A serum is great if you want to target a particular part of your scalp that’s thinning—and you can use the dropper to apply as many drops as you want to the area of concern. “This product is known for its blend of seven technologies that work together to make hair appear longer and denser,” says Dr. Chacon. “It is often recommended because of its high levels of caffeine that stimulate the roots, hyaluronic acid that moisturizes, and bioactive pea sprout complex that improves hair growth.” Just note that while some people enjoy the musky scent, it can be a bit too strong for some sensitive noses.

  • Pros: Lightweight scalp treatment; good for targeted hair loss
  • Cons: Some don’t like the scent.

 

4. Act + Acre Scalp Detox

Dr. Chacon recommends massaging a bit of Act + Acre’s serum onto your scalp if you suffer from buildup, dandruff, or itchiness. Not only will it feel super soothing on dry scalps, but this hydrating oil is also packed with ingredients like antibacterial aloe and nourishing sunflower seed oil to help support overall scalp health and rehydrate split ends. Dr. Chacon notes that buildup can actually inhibit hair growth, and that detoxing with a product like this one can help create a healthier environment for growth.

  • Pros: Helps with dandruff and itchiness; made with natural ingredients.
  • Cons: Adds time and a step to your hair care routine.
