Bumble and Bumble Full Potential Shampoo
This shampoo yields long-term results by gradually strengthening your hair’s three main structures: the scalp, roots, and mid-shaft to ends. While your thinning hair begins its thickening recovery process, use this tip from hairstylist Lucy Flint: “When your hair is looking limp, lightly mist it with water and then spray with a root-lifting booster spray (like this one). Use your hands and a towel to manually rough-dry your hair until it’s mostly dry. Then, using a round brush, smooth out the pieces around your face by blow-drying them forward, along with the top layer of the hair. Turn your head upside down and spritz hairspray all over.”
Writes one reviewer: “I had fully lost the corners of my hairline and within a few weeks started noticing healthier hair growth and much less hair loss. My strands were thicker and stronger as well. My scalp had never felt ‘fresher.’”
Dove DermaCare Relief Anti Dandruff Shampoo Treatment
Given its super affordable price and rave reviews, you just can’t beat a dermatologist-recommended dandruff shampoo that also helps reduce thinning hair. This is the product Dr. Fusco tells patients to purchase when they’re dealing with shedding. “Its key ingredient is zinc pyrithione, which helps remove the build-up of dead skin cells around the scalp that can prevent hair growth,” she explains. “When used regularly, it stops the flaking, itching (and subsequent scratching), which can lead to excessive shedding and thinning.”
Writes one reviewer: “I’ve tried every dandruff shampoo/conditioner out there and most have made my hair oily or rough after using, but this one I found to be most perfect for my hair. I don’t have dandruff and it leaves my hair silky smooth, feeling and looking healthy.”
