Ever feel like your hair seemingly thinned overnight? One day, it\u2019s full and bouncy; the next, it looks a little sparse around your hairline. The best products for thinning hair can help create immediate volume, even if genetics, hormones, or stress aren\u2019t doing you any favors. \u201cStress and diet play a big role, and deficiencies in iron or copper can contribute to hair thinning,\u201d says Sandra Petrut, stylist at Maxine Salon in Chicago. \u201cChemical treatments, excessive heat, and even scalp conditions like contact dermatitis can also lead to hair loss.\u201d<\/p>\n

Actual hair regrowth takes time, a lot of patience, and a handful of science-proven ingredients, but volumizing hair products can work right away\u2014giving you the illusion of fuller, thicker hair. \u201cThere\u2019s no magic bullet for instantly thicker hair in a permanent sense, but styling products with ingredients like keratin and panthenol can create the illusion of temporary volume,\u201d says Jerome Lordet, founder and owner of Jerome Lordet Salon in NYC. And these days, new products \u201cnot only target thinning hair but also support overall hair health, helping hair grow stronger and healthier,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

      <\/span>Kara McGrath<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Why we love it:<\/strong> When Allure<\/em>\u2019s content director Kara McGrath says this spray \u201ccompletely changed her at-home blowouts,\u201d you know<\/em> it\u2019s worth paying attention to. Designed for thinning or baby-fine hair, Living Proof Full Volume & Root-Lifting Spray brings the drama in the best way. It\u2019s boosted by the brand\u2019s thickening molecule, plus water-soluble resins that give your roots major lift without any crunch. Amaranth peptides help plump each follicle so your hair looks fuller, bouncier, and way more blowout-y. Add in a blend of volume-locking polymers, and you\u2019re looking at bumped-up hair density that actually sticks around, too.<\/p>\n

      \u201cIt added noticeable volume without making my fine hair feel crunchy or dry. I can still run my fingers through my roots when I use this stuff, which can\u2019t be said of some other volumizers that give me similar oomphy results.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Why we love it:<\/strong> Even though Madison Reed The Great Cover Up Root Touch Up + Brow Filler is technically designed to conceal gray roots and fill in brows, this 2024 Best of Beauty Award winner can also double as makeup, concealing areas where you have sparse hair growth (like around the temples and along the hairline). Once you apply it with the included brush (or spoolie, if you want to be extra-precise), it won’t budge\u2014and can even withstand rain and sweat. It also comes in six shades, so most people can find a passable match\u2014and no one will be the wiser.<\/p>\n

      “After both of my pregnancies, I dealt with a horrifying amount of hair loss, and nothing worked better for me than simply applying hair makeup to my scalp to cover up the bald spots. My biggest area of concern was my hairline, which receded so far back, every time I looked in the mirror, my face just appeared off. I used this Madison Reed cover-up for both of my fourth trimesters, and loved how easy it was to powder a hairline back onto my scalp. The product has great staying powder, and easily comes out in the shower (I’d suggest a detox shampoo to really lift it out of your roots). I love that the brush helps seamlessly blend the powder into my scalp, and that it comes with a really great brow brush and spoolie to tackle your brows at the same time!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Why we love it:<\/strong> If your part\u2019s looking wider or your ponytail feels a little wimpy, N\u00e9cessaire\u2019s The Scalp Serum might be your new, low-maintenance fix. This lightweight, fragrance-free formula features 5% capixyl\u2014a blend of red clover extract and a peptide that helps reduce shedding and promote thicker-looking strands. \u201cSome studies have shown it can be just as effective as 3% minoxidil,\u201d dermatologist Michelle Henry, MD, previously told Allure<\/em>. But unlike minoxidil, it carries a lower risk of irritation or unwanted facial hair, making it a smart choice for sensitive scalps. It\u2019s also approved by the National Eczema Association, which speaks to how gentle it is. To top it off, the serum includes hyaluronic acid, biotin, and niacinamide to keep your scalp calm, hydrated, and thriving, so your hair can live its best, fullest life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      At first, \u201cI did not have high hopes. But then, several months in, my hair started to feel\u2026different. It took two hands to hold it all. My ponytails started to more closely resemble that of the equines they\u2019re named for: thick (for me), shiny, and bouncy. The length, which had previously seemed to tap out just below my collarbones, was reaching mid-boob territory.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      <\/span>Shanna Shipin<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Why we love it:<\/strong> Whereas some brushes are made to detangle using sheer force, the La Bonne Brosse N.03 The Essential Soft Hair Brush is meant to baby the scalp, gently working out knots without risking breakage or shedding. It pairs boar bristles, which help distribute moisture through the lengths of hair, with firmer nylon pins that help take care of tangles. (The nylon bristles are also capped with ball-shaped tips, which massage the scalp and boost circulation to encourage healthy hair growth). Together, they maximize shine and softness without stressing out hair.<\/p>\n

      Shipin started scalp massaging when she lost a suspected 30% of her hair postpartum. \u201cI knew it would grow back, but I incorporated techniques\u2014like scalp massaging\u2014to help (hopefully) speed up the process. The No.2 hair brush from La Bonne Brosse is great for detangling, but was a little too prickly on my sensitive scalp, so I turned to the No. 3 which has soft-ended bristles that are great for daily massaging without irritating an inflamed scalp.\u201d Shipin says she brushed her hair morning and night, and whenever she added a scalp serum. \u201cI get more out of this type of hair brush than the scalp-specific massagers since it also distributes my serums, hair oils, and leave-in conditioners. Because of hormonal changes, my hair was super dry and easily prone to breakage, so with this brush I was able to do a two-in-one kind of treatment every time I brushed my hair!” The best part? \u201cI can use it outside of the shower! Which is great for curly girls who don’t wet their hair too often.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Why we love it:<\/strong> If you want to tackle permanent regrowth and slow hair fall, Curology Hair Formula Rx is a personalized, prescription-strength treatment that helps with hair loss with three proven active ingredients (which could include minoxidil, finasteride, or ketoconazole\u2014an antifungal medication) tailored to your scalp\u2019s needs. It often consists of a higher dose of minoxidil than you\u2019ll find over the counter. Hair serums work \u201conly if they have an active ingredient like minoxidil, which helps prevent the hair from going into sleep mode,\u201d Morgan Rabach, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in New York City, previously told Allure<\/em>. To get your custom hair growth formula, snap some selfies, answer a few questions about your hair and scalp, and send it all in. A dermatologist will review everything and prescribe a customized topical solution of up to three active ingredients. FYI: Your hair-loss treatment arrives in a two-month supply, but expect to see actual results in about three to six months.<\/p>\n

      Why we love it:<\/strong> Ouai Fine Shampoo is more than just a favorite among Allure editors\u2014it\u2019s also a go-to shampoo for thinning hair among pros. \u201cThis shampoo strengthens hair, reduces frizz, and adds body,\u201d says Jae Manuel Cardenas, a hairstylist at Sally Hershberger NoMad in NYC. Moisturizing chia seed oil, hydrolyzed keratin, and biotin\u2014found in this shampoo and its wash-day mate, OUAI Fine Hair Conditioner\u2014strengthen the hair cuticle, bring dull strands back to life, and encourage healthy hair growth. \u201cPlus, it has the most beautiful citrusy scent\u2014think Italian lemon, orange, and jasmine,\u201d says Cardenas. \u201cBut what I love most is that it\u2019s sulfate-free, paraben-free, cruelty-free, and safe for color-treated hair\u2014so really any hair type can enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you’re after maximum volume and thickness, look no further than Oribe Maximista Thickening Spray. It\u2019s packed with thickening copolymers to pump up the volume and lock it in, plus amino acids to keep hair strong and moisturized. And because Oribe always goes the extra mile, its signature complex protects against environmental stressors, while built-in heat protection keeps your hair safe from hot tools. If your thinning hair is also prone to frizz, the cetrimonium chloride in this spray provides conditioning and anti-static powers\u2014making it especially helpful for curly hair.<\/p>\n

It activates the moment it hits your hair, delivering an all-over lift and serious root boost in seconds. (FYI: A little goes a long way.)<\/p>\n

      Why we love it:<\/strong> Unlike over-the-counter formulas, Musely\u2019s The Hair Topical Solution \u2013 Classic is customized just for you after an online consultation with a licensed dermatologist without the need for an in-office visit. The freshly compounded prescription can include a powerful blend: 8% minoxidil to kickstart growth, 0.3% dutasteride to block DHT (a.k.a. the hormone behind follicle shrinkage), and 0.075% spironolactone to further reduce androgen activity. Tretinoin, ketoconazole, and hydrocortisone round out the hair-growth treatment to boost absorption, soothe irritation, and support a healthy scalp. \u201cMinoxidil has been one of the gold-standard ingredients for hair loss for years,\u201d says Corey L. Hartman, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of Skin Wellness Dermatology based in Birmingham, AL. \u201cIt widens blood vessels to improve circulation, delivering nutrients and oxygen to revive shrinking or dormant hair follicles. It also extends the anagen phase of hair growth, so strands can grow longer, thicker, and stronger.\u201d Consistency is key with minoxidil-based formulas like this one. \u201cProducts with minoxidil should be used continuously\u2014some people may find that once they stop using minoxidil, the hair regrowth they found stalls,\u201d says Dr. Hartman.<\/p>\n

      Why we love it:<\/strong> Originally known for its beloved face cream, Augustinus Bader took that same science-first approach and applied it to\u2014yep\u2014your scalp. Augustinus Bader The Scalp Treatment is a lightweight serum designed to reduce shedding and create the perfect environment for stronger, healthier hair. \u201cIt\u2019s a product I recommend to patients who have damaged, weak hair or thinning hair and are looking to keep as much of their hair as possible,\u201d says Dr. Hartman. It features the brand\u2019s trigger factor complex (TFC8), a clinically backed blend of vitamins, lipids, and peptides. \u201cThe product is formulated to reduce shedding and hair loss, while rejuvenating the scalp for stronger hair and a better environment for new hair to grow,\u201d he says. Patience has a payoff: \u201cTake a small amount on your fingertips and gently massage it into your scalp two to three times a week. Some people notice a difference in how their hair and scalp feel in the first six to eight weeks, and most see visible results by the three-month mark,\u201d says Dr. Hartman.<\/p>\n

      Frequently asked questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n
      \n

      What is the best-proven product for thinning hair?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

      If you\u2019re experiencing hair thinning, the right products can make a big difference. The best approach focuses on hair growth, scalp health, and follicle strength. \u201cMinoxidil is the most tried-and-true ingredient for hair loss and thinning,\u201d says Dr. Mislankar. (You might recognize it as the main ingredient in Rogaine, which is a minoxidil foam.)<\/p>\n

      Other ingredients like \u201cbiotin, caffeine, rosemary oil, and niacinamide have also been shown to promote the temporary appearance of hair thickness,\u201d says Cardenas, who recommends root lifters, volumizing products, and other hairstyle formulas to temporarily deliver fuller hair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
      \n
      \n
      \n

      Hair-growth supplements are a dime a dozen, but dermatologists don\u2019t agree on how much they can really help. And since they can come with side effects, it\u2019s important to talk to your doctor first.<\/p>\n

      \n

      Can hair grow back after thinning?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

      Hair can grow back after thinning, but it depends on the cause. \u201cIn some cases, like telogen effluvium\u2014temporary hair shedding caused by stress, illness, or hormonal changes\u2014hair often grows back on its own with time and patience,\u201d says Dr. Mislankar. (For instance, minoxidil won\u2019t do a whole lot for postpartum hair loss, which is caused by hormone changes during and after pregnancy.)<\/p>\n

      However, if thinning is due to androgenetic alopecia (hereditary hair loss, or female-pattern hair loss), long-term treatments like medications or procedures are usually needed to maintain new growth. \u201cWhile waiting for hair to regrow, avoiding excessive heat styling or harsh chemicals helps prevent further damage. Volumizing shampoos, leave-in treatments, and proper styling techniques can also make hair appear fuller in the meantime,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

      \n

      What are the \u201cBig 3\u201d for thinning hair?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

      The big three for thinning hair are minoxidil, finasteride, and ketoconazole. \u201cThey each play a special part in encouraging hair growth. Minoxidil works by widening blood vessels in your scalp, boosting circulation so more nutrients reach your hair follicles\u2014helping to spark new growth and keep shedding in check. Finasteride blocks an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase\u2014the one that turns testosterone into DHT (a.k.a. the hormone that makes hair follicles shrink and leads to thinning). Less DHT means your follicles stay active longer, helping to keep your hair where it belongs. Ketoconazole isn\u2019t just for fighting fungus\u2014it also helps mitigate scalp inflammation, one of the culprits behind hair loss. Research suggests it has mild anti-androgenic properties, meaning it may help minimize DHT\u2019s impact on hair follicles,\u201d says Dr. Mislankar. Together, they can create the ideal foundation for new hair growth.<\/p>\n

        How we test and review products<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

        We always enlist a range of testers for our makeup vertical, but hair-care products and tools are another story. While there are certainly products that can be used across different hair textures, lengths, curl patterns, thicknesses, colors (natural and unnatural), and needs, hair products are often created with specific consumers in mind. Many are created in order to address a concern (dandruff, breakage, brittleness) or to work most effectively for a specific hair type (4C curls, wavy hair, gray hair). You wouldn\u2019t want to pick up a purple shampoo that\u2019s only been reviewed by someone with, say, auburn hair, or a diffuser that\u2019s never been tested by anyone with curls\u2014right?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        \n
        \n
        \n
        \n

        For our review of the best products for thinning hair, we enlisted the help of multiple editors, writers, contributors, and hair experts\u2014many of whom want shinier, healthier-looking hair. Testers considered performance across four primary categories: efficacy, texture and experience, fragrance, and packaging. For more on what’s involved in our reporting, check out our complete reviews process and methodology page.<\/p>\n

        Our staff and testers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

        A beauty product is a personal purchase. You might be searching for a face cream to address persistent dryness or a new nail product to add to your Sunday self-care routine; you may simply be browsing around for the latest launches to hit the hair market. No matter what you seek or your individual needs and concerns, Allure<\/em> wants to ensure that you love anything we recommend in our stories. We believe that having a diverse team of writers and editors\u2014in addition to the wide range of outside testers and industry experts we regularly call upon\u2014is essential to reaching that goal.<\/p>\n

        After all, can we really<\/em> say a skin-care product is the “best” for people over 50 if the only testers we’ve solicited opinions from folks who have yet to hit 30? Can we honestly deem a high-end diffuser worthy of your hard-earned cash if it\u2019s never been tested on curls? We’re proud that our staff spans a wide range of ages, skin tones, hair textures, genders, and backgrounds, which means that we are able to fairly assess any beauty product that comes into the beauty closet.<\/p>\n
