The Best Products For Thinning Hair

More often than not, when it comes to hair, the main concern is the same for a lot of people: thin hair, hair loss, or lack of hair growth.

When customers reach out to us with hair-related queries, it's most frequently to enquire about what the best products are for thinning hair. Thinning hair can knock your confidence so it's no wonder that there is so much demand for products that stimulate hair growth and treat thinning hair.

How much hair is normal to lose? On average, we can expect to lose around 100 individual hairs every day so there is no need to worry if you find a few strands running down the shower plug hole but if you find that you are losing huge amounts of hair or are experiencing areas of baldness or a receding hairline then it may be time for an intervention.

What Can I Do?

There are many things that you can do to help promote hair growth, thicker hair, and encourage hair health.

#1 Invest In A Quality Shampoo And Conditioner

There is a time and a place for supermarket shampoos but if your concern is thin hair, it is not one of them. Switching to a quality hair care routine with clinically proven ingredients should be the first step in looking after your hair. They can dramatically change how your hair looks and acts day to day. CLINICCARE Energizing Hair Shampoo and CLINICCARE Energizing Hair Conditioner are an effective duo that begins to look after the hair follicles and scalp health from the very first use. Or, if your budget allows, RevitaLash Thickening Shampoo and Thickening Conditioner are worth splurging on. The peer reviewed studies speak for themselves.

If you find that you have thin or fine hair then it's likely that you experience product build-up, weighing it down, so it's good practice to shampoo twice each wash.

#2 Take Good Care Of Your Scalp

After all, the scalp is the foundation of where your hair comes from so providing that with care and attention will give new hair the best possible start in life. Give your scalp a gentle scalp massage whilst applying RevitaLash Volume Enhancing Foam in order to increase blood flow and strength the hair roots. Inspired by America’s #1 Eyelash Conditioner, Revitalash Volume Enhancing Foam makes fine, thin hair look fuller and more youthful. Also, it strengthens, conditions, and nourishes fine, thin hair. Proprietary BioPeptin Complex® boosts the vitality of hair with a breakthrough formula designed to intensify natural volume.

 The Cebelia Anti-Hair Loss Lotion promotes the growth of new hair and helps reduce hair loss by strengthening the hair follicle and improving anchorage. This daily leave-in treatment is rich in peptides that have an anti-hair loss and regrowth effect. It visibly inhibits hair loss, supports hair growth and health resulting in a denser, fuller and healthier-looking head of hair.

#3 Get Regular Trims

It's all very tempting to try and hold on to whatever you can when it comes to your precious hair strands but regular cuts with a blunt end cut will give the illusion of thicker and fuller hair. Trust us!

#4 Minimise The Trips To The Salon For A Blow Dry

The heat from hairdryers is damaging, we know this, so regular use will cause your already delicate hair to become even more fragile. Where possible, air dry your hair. However, if you have to use a blow dryer in order to maintain some shape, more volume, and fullness to your hair, try to use the coolest temperature that your hairdryer has and treat your hair to a weekly treatment of OLAPLEX No.3 Hair Perfector. No.3 is well known around the globe for its outstanding abilities. It's not a conditioner, a hair mask, nor a serum instead, it's a treatment that actually reverses any form of hair damage and repairs the hair structure. A real essential!
