Bestselling Hair Loss Products Today

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:

  1. The 15 best hair loss shampoos based on customer reviews.
  2. 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.

PRP Goes Mainstream on TV

I have covered platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for hair loss a number of times on this blog before. Initially, I was very skeptical about this whole concept, especially since a number of hair transplant surgeons have written about lack of results after their own experimentation. However, during the past year, my opinions have changed slightly as I have:

  • Seen informative pro-PRP and hair growth related videos and forum posts from eminent surgeons such as Dr. Ken Anderson, Dr. John Cole, Dr. Jerry Cooley, Dr. Joseph Greco, Dr. Sam Lam, Dr. Robert Niedbalski, Dr. Jeffrey Rapaport and Dr. Ken Williams among many others.
  • Read a few new published studies in support of PRP for hair loss. Most importantly, these PRP and hair growth related studies have come from many different countries, implying lesser chances of bias and implying potentially successful outcomes across all races of people.

I have therefore decided to give this subject more serious consideration and coverage on this blog. It seems like the way in which a clinic makes its platelet-rich plasma can drastically impact the final results (or lack thereof). I will write more on that in future posts, including analysis of the growth factors involved in the plasma.

For now, the below linked videos are worth checking out. The first is a segment that appeared last week on ABC’s popular Good Morning America (GMA) program. While PRP that is used for medical applications has been covered in numerous TV programs in recent years, it is rare for PRP for hair loss to get this kind of coverage on national TV in the US.

Here are the relevant links: ABC GMA 2 and ABC GMA 3.

The physician in the ABC video segment is Dr. Jeffrey Rapaport, and he has a great video on YouTube about this subject. He even shows us before and after photos of PRP injections into his own balding crown, 19 mins into the video.

The last part of the video is really interesting, and Dr. Rapaport thinks that PRP for hair loss is going to become huge in the coming years. He even opines that many people with limited hair loss will delay or avoid hair transplants and instead come for these PRP injections several times a year.
