Introduction
Let’s be completely honest. Hair loss feels deeply personal. It’s not just hair loss, it feels like a loss of a part of our identity. Most of us will associate hair with armor, accessories, confidence, and a touch of the positive. So, when loss of hair, thinning, receding, or hair disappearing occurs, the panic understandably, is real.
The good news is we are in the best of times for hair loss treatment and restoration. The days of snake oil and snake vendor cosmetic sprays, are now a thing of the past. Using the most advanced technologies and methodologies hair loss can be treated. Clinically approved laser treatments, advanced and highly concentrated plant-based hormonal inhibitors, and real hair loss stimulants are now more accessible than ever.
Main Review
I have done the research of the US hair loss treatments, inclusive of their various consistencies and compositions, in order to review the ten best treatments available to us as consumers. From shedding to the thinning caused by stress and even the things genetics have in store, there are solutions to these worrying events.
1. Rogaine 5% Minoxidil Foam for Women
Rogaine for Women 5% Minoxidil Foam
The Gold Standard
Minoxidil is one of the most recommended products for hereditary hair loss. It is one of the most well-known products in the industry. Minoxidil foam is preferable to use than the liquid version because of the mess the liquid version can cause by leaving your hair greasy, unwashed, and dirty.
The 5% foam by Rogaine is changing the game. It has a far greater capacity to be absorbed than the liquid version, and is easier to use in a morning routine. It is not as simple as a one day treatment, because it takes a minimum of 3 to 4 months to show real change, but you will be able to experience and enjoy the benefits. This product is one of the most recommended for restoring hair growth and for good reason. It is like the little black dress, simple and elegant!
2. Pura D’or Original Gold Label Anti-Thinning Biotin Shampoo
PURA D’OR Original Gold Label Anti-Thinning Biotin Shampoo
The Natural Powerhouse
Although the feeling of washing the problem away can not be achieved with a shampoo wash, this shampoo does come close to the feeling of washing the problem away. Pura D’or has achieved a cult following with this shampoo because they don’t use harsh chemicals, rather they use a proprietary blend of 17 key actives, such as nettle extract, pumpkin seed, and black cumin seed oil.
The best part about this shampoo is it uses natural preservatives. It feels luxurious, has an earthy herbal smell, and leaves your scalp feeling clean without being stripped like some other shampoos can. It’s especially great to use if you are shedding a lot of hair. If you are seeing excess hair in your brush, this is an easy low-stakes first step to take to help your hair become surprisingly thick.
3. Nutrafol Women Hair Growth Supplement
The Inside-Out Approach
As we are discussing hair loss, we should also talk about wellness. Density of hair is also affected by stress, hormones, and nutrition, which Nutrafol also considers. Nutrafol is not just a “hair vitamin” it is a fully comprehensive nutraceutical. It uses medical-grade, natural ingredients to target the root causes of hair thinning by addressing stress, hormones, and metabolism like Ashwagandha and marine collagen.
The whole body is considered with the hair loss treatment system provided by these supplements. Unlike other dermatological treatments that simply consider the condition of the scalp, these supplements integrate the body with the condition of the hair, since all elements matter. This does require some serious commitment, as the supplements do require the intake of four per day, but it does have some good clinical studies to support it. Furthermore, supplements users complain less about stress, and report improvements in sleep, so it is also good for mental and physical well being.
4. iRestore Essential Laser Hair Growth System
iRestore Root Revival Duo: Hair Growth Supplement and Laser Red Light Therapy for Hair Growth
The Sci-Fi Solution
While watching a TV show, I can imagine it does seem a little silly to wear a glowing red helmet, but using it while watching a show is a good way to get your 25 minute treatments in. The iRestore Essential Laser Hair Growth System is a Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) device. This is a clinically tested non-invasive and FDA approved way to target hair follicles and stimulate cellular metabolism and energy levels for hair growth. This is certainly an investment, but over time will save you so much more than hair transplants or salon treatments. For me, the odd, but relaxing warm light is worth it by itself. This system is the perfect option for anyone who finds the application of topical serums to be bothersome and is widely regarded as a “set it and forget it” option.
5. Nioxin System 2 Cleanser Shampoo & Scalp Therapy Conditioner
Nioxin System 2 for Natural Hair
The Volumizing Veteran
For decades, Nioxin has been the go-to for salons when it comes to thinning hair. If fine, natural hair that is thinning is a concern for you, System 2 is perfect for your requirements. It targets the removal of follicle damage caused by clogged sebum, fatty acids, and environmental residues, plus it provides amplification for hair.
What I also love about Nioxin is the instant results. Unlike Minoxidil, which is a long treatment to undergo, Nioxin gives the appearance of thicker hair right away. It gives plumping to individual hair strands and rejuvenates the scalp. For a refreshing, almost tingly sensation, the peppermint oil provides just that. The conditioner is also lightweight, and won’t weigh down even the finest hair
6. Viviscal Hair Growth Supplements
Viviscal Professional Thin to Thick Elixir
The Red Carpet Secret
Viviscal is probably familiar to you if you read celebrity interviews. For over-styled and extended hair damage, it is a go-to for celebrity stylists. Its core ingredient is AminoMar, a proprietary marine complex that comes from shark and mollusk powder. It sounds strange, but it works.
Viviscal is the best option for hair that has shocked for some reason that can include stress or over-processing. They offer products that focus on nourishing thinning hair and improving hair growth, and provide straightforward tablets that are taken twice a day. Your hair may have just “given up,” but Viviscal can really kick it back into gear.
7. Mielle Organics Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil
Mielle Organics Rosemary & Mint Light Hair Oil
The Oil Everyone is Talking About
TikTok gets the hype just right sometimes and this oil is a perfect example of that. Mielle Organics Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil is a fabulous option that is priced really well. Rosemary oil, which some studies have shown to be comparable to low-dose Minoxidil, and biotin are some of the active ingredients in this oil making it a great option for textured and curly hair. It can even be used straight hair as a pre-shampoo oil.
It has a minty scent that is refreshing and can even help relieve a stuffy nose. It can be used to stimulate blood circulation by massaging it into any area of your scalp and can help prevent hair breakage if applied to the ends of your hair. This oil is a great option for a luxurious experience that gets the job done without costing a fortune.
8. Treatment for Hair Regrowth by Keranique
The Precision Applicator
The team behind Keranique understand women’s biochemistry. Keranique uses the active ingredient, 2% Minoxidil, in many hair regrowth treatments. What makes it different is the Precision Detail Applicator, which is an extended nozzle sprayer that helps you target specific problem areas, such as widening hair parts and thinning hair, without spraying the solution on your styled hair.
This is an ideal product if you want to do specific spot treatments for areas that you feel look thinner compared to the rest of your hair. This product dries quickly and works well with other hair styling products, making it easy to add to your daily hair routine.
9. Shampoo by Bondi Boost HG

Miracle from Australia
Another Bondi Boost product that has created a lot of buzz in the clean beauty industry is their HG (Hair Growth) Shampoo. This hair growth shampoo contains Aloe Vera, peppermint, rosemary, and saw palmetto. It is free from parabens, sulfates, and silicones.
With a high tingle factor, you’ll feel the product working as it helps lift build up off the scalp, giving the follicles the best chance for hair growth. The product smells like candy canes, leaves your hair soft, and does not give you the straw-like texture that many other growth shampoos give you. Anyone looking to keep their hair dense and their scalp clean can use it as a daily driver.
10. The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density
The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density
The Ordinary has made hair care accessible, and we love it. This serum is a lightweight, non-greasy formula that contains a number of powerful, high-value ingredients, and it does not come at a staggering price. It has a base of ultra-light emollients and a blend of peptide complexes such as REDENSYL and PROCAPIL.
You just need to apply a few drops of the serum to a clean and dry scalp before going to bed. It does not leave a residue so you don’t have to wash your hair in the morning, and even so, it is great for the increasing the overall density and thickness of the hair shaft. It’s your perfect product if your wishlist is full of hair loss treatments but you don’t want to spend a lot.
The Final Verdict
There is no singular measure of hair loss that can explain it’s broad emotional, physical, and deeply personal aspects. Although it’s still possible to lose hope, the ‘magic bullets’ of yesteryear, which in the hairs’ loss world, included snake oils that promised the world, can never be the answer. However, due to the advancements in medical technology that we’ve experienced in the last decade, there is a plethora of options that are much more effective. Everyone’s hair loss is unique to them, and so options must be tailored to each individual. So, whether it’s the clinical route with Minoxidil, the holistic route with Nutrafol, or even the tech route with iRestore, remember that no option will yield quick results, and above all, patience is essential.
The average growth of a human hair per month is 1/2 of an inch. So, it’s paramount that you give whichever option you choose enough time to see results. Remember that taking action is a great way to curb feelings of anxiousness. You now have the means to do this, and the products listed above are possible early-stage solutions..
