If you start to deal with thinning hair, the odds are high that you’re about to be flooded with a sea of product recommendations. From thickening shampoos to ‘miracle serums’, supplements, and more, there’s a wide range of hair thickening products that are designed to capture your attention in your hour of thinning need.
In reality, however, not all of these products are created equal - and plenty of them simply don’t deliver the results they promise. To make it easier to find the best hair product for thinning hair, we’ve put together this guide to what actually works (and what doesn’t).
First Things First: What Causes Thinning Hair?
Before you begin to buy any hair-thickening products, it’s important to understand that thinning hair can be caused by a range of factors. These include:
-
Hormonal changes
-
Genetics
-
Stress or illness
-
Nutritional deficiencies
-
Damage from chemicals or over-styling
Because of this wide range of potential causes, there is no single product that will work the same for everyone experiencing hair thinning. Instead, the most effective approach is to combine the right products for your individual needs with a tailored treatment plan.
What Actually Works for Thinning Hair: Start With the Scalp
Healthy hair begins at the scalp, and that means products that support scalp health can be the first step in improving your hair’s growth environment.
Look for products that:
-
Are anti-inflammatory in their formulations
-
Have ingredients like niacinamide, caffeine, or peptides
-
Include gentle exfoliating acids
These products can help to remove build-up, stimulate circulation, and support follicle function. We recommend the Hairmax Density 3pc Bio-Active Hair Therapy set. This is a nourishing trio created by hair growth experts that’s scientifically designed to address the unique needs of thinning hair, providing a concentrated blend of peptides and vital extracts that lay the groundwork for healthy hair development.
Make the Most of Nourishing Shampoos and Styling Products
Another great product to reach for if you’re experiencing thinning hair is a nourishing shampoo or styling product. While they won’t address the root cause of thinning hair, nourishing and thickening products can play an important part in giving you the support you need to enjoy the look and feel of your hair day-to-day.
When you’re making purchasing decisions, opt for choices that:
-
Are lightweight and won’t weigh the hair down
-
Are formulated with volumising agents to coat and expand the hair shaft
-
Don’t include any heavy silicones or oils that can flatten the hair
Strong options from the Transitions Hair line-up include:
-
EVO - Common Ground Scalp Shampoo - since this shampoo is formulated to restore balance to stressed scalps (thanks to sulfate-free cleansing agents), this shampoo can help to nourish and improve your hair, as well as supporting long-term scalp health.
-
O&M - Maintain The Mane Shampoo - this shampoo can also give your hair the support it needs for ongoing growth, thanks to a carefully formulated moisturising formula. With Pro Vitamin B5 nourishing the scalp and banksia extracts helping to soften the hair, this provides significant protection from environmental stress that can worsen your hair’s thinning trajectory.
Do Supplements Make an Impact?
Hair supplements are often marketed as a quick fix for thinning hair, but as with all hair thinning products, finding the right product for your particular thinning needs is crucial.
What doesn’t work in the world of hair supplements:
-
‘Miracle’ shampoos that promise regrowth, but don’t actually stay on the scalp long enough to make any significant impact on hair growth
-
One-size-fits-all solutions that position themselves as such (since what works for one person won’t necessarily work for the next!)
-
Overloading on hair products and using too many at once - in fact, this approach can lead to build-up, irritation, and confusion about what’s actually helping
The Power of Hair Fibres for Thinning Hair
Amongst so many options, there’s one simple product you can rely on to make an immediate difference to thinning hair: a powerful hair fibre.
BioTHIK is the ultimate hair thickening product for thin and thinning hair. Instantly delivering results that make hair look up to 150% thicker in less than 30 seconds, BioTHIK works by creating instantly thicker hair through microscopic natural keratin hair fibres. These hair fibres naturally and securely attach to your own hair through the power of electrostatic magnetism, giving the effect of making each hair strand appear thicker and healthier.
An entirely natural and botanically based hair thickening option with no side effects, this is an ideal choice for all hair and scalp types - and it’s also friendly to use for those with hair transplants.
Conclusion
The most important thing to understand if you’re searching for products to help with hair thinning is this: there is no single ‘magic’ solution that will work for everyone. The results you’ll receive from different productions will always come down to choosing the right combination of products for your specific hair type, lifestyle, and the underlying cause of your hair thinning.
The most effective approach is to work towards a layered solution. Start by supporting your scalp health, incorporate lightweight nourishing and volumising products in your day-to-day styling, and opt for a targeted solution (like BioTHIK hair fibres) to increase the volume of your remaining hair.
