Nioxin brand scalp treatments and shampoos help your thinning hair look fuller. They are available online and at most haircutting salons, and I have noticed that the hair stylists always seem to recommend the Nioxin product. I happen to like Nexxus Vitatress Biotin Shampoo. It is only available at hair salons and runs about $9 per bottle. That seems like a lot of money for a shampoo, but I think it is worth it because my thin hair is a lot healthier than it has been in the year that I have been using this product.

If you have tried shampoos and they have not worked for you, consider using products for thinning hair that have been approved to treat hair loss and hair thinning by the FDA. Minoxidil is sold under the name of Rogaine and is available in formulas for both men and for women. The product is rubbed into the scalp twice a day so it is easy to use. Minoxidil can help the growth of new hairs, but if you discontinue using the product your new hair growth will fall out.

Finasteride is a drug that has been approved as a treatment of male pattern baldness and is an oral medication. It is sold under the name of Propecia and is only available as a prescription. It has successfully helped with hair re-growth in 60% of the people who have tried the product. As with Minoxidil, if you discontinue treatment your new hair growth will fall out. The product is only approved for men to take.
