I recently added a page on this site regarding recommended hair loss products that I feel are the most useful for your hair and overall scalp health. All of these can be purchased from places such as Amazon and Walmart without the need for any kind of prescription.
In the comments to this post, feel free to write names of products that you like and recommend. Maybe I will test some of those in the future as my androgenetic alopecia (AGA) progresses.
Bestselling Hair Loss Products
Most of these products will not regrow hair on totally bald areas of the scalp. However, they can make existing hair thicker and less prone the ravages of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and resulting baldness.
Shampoos
When it comes to shampoos, I have created two detailed pages on this site:
- The 15 best hair loss shampoos based on customer reviews.
- The 14 best dandruff shampoos based on dermatologist recommendations.
Also make sure to check out my separate pages on Nizoral and Nioxin and Revivogen. Many of these also come with conditioners.
Laser Devices
The list of FDA-cleared best laser hair growth devices continues to grow rapidly. Some use laser light, some used LED lights and some use a combination. Products range from Laser Combs to Laser Caps to Laser Helmets to Laser Bands.
Concealers
Check out updates in my best hair loss concealers post. While Toppik remains a mainstay, many others products such as Boldify, XFusion, Caboki, DermMatch and Hair Illusion are also popular.
Other Popular Hair Loss Products
- Men’s Rogaine has 25,800 reviews on Amazon. Interestingly, Women’s Rogaine has 16,600 reviews, a somewhat higher number than I would expect relative to the men’s product. Both have an average rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars.
- I covered both Viviscal and Nutrafol in the past. They are among the most popular hair loss supplements on the market.
- There are numerous vitamins and minerals out there that can help make your hair become stronger and fuller. However, most people do not have major nutritional deficiencies to worry about. Please consult your doctor before taking any kind of supplements.
My intention here is to share the products I have found have the most benefit for keeping hair healthy. Perhaps the admin will try some of these and be able to spread the word to more people.
For shampoo I like Nature’s Paradise Thickening Shampoo. It is all natural which I totally prefer. My hair prefers gentle natural products also. They claim 40% reduction of shedding after a use. I cannot verify the 40% but I have definitely noticed decreased shed after a wash from using it.
Also, with my shampoo I will usually mix in some herbal powder into my shampoo lather. Three herbs I have noticed to be the most beneficial are Saw Palmetto, Nettles, and Horsetail. I get the bulk herb powder from internet. They’re very easy to find, many companies sell them. I recommend a usda organic version if you can find it. Saw P definitely makes my hair thicker and less shed. Horsetail is a thickener too.
Possibly the best thing I’ve ever found for hair strength and thickening my hair is Cacahuananche Soap. It’s been known as a natural hair tonic in Mexico for centuries. I really don’t know why some big company does not sell it, I honestly feel that it is amazing. After I take a shower and comb my hair over the sink and look down I’m delighted. It greatly increases hair strength. The comical part is that it only costs about 5 bucks on Amazon. For anyone who ever heard David Wolfe talk about cacao oil for hair regrowth, I believe this is the type of thing he is discussing.
For teas to drink, one might consider researching a Nettles extract. Something in a high concentration. Nettles has scientifically been proven to interact positively on human hormones. Also bhringaraj herb has been known in India for centuries as a hair helper. The scientific name eclipta prostrata even has a wikipedia write up about a clinical study in mice. The teas are more of a support to an overall campaign, I feel.
