Shampoo recommendation for aging, thinning hair

gellen — Tue, 18 Feb 2020 15:37:31 GMT

Is there a shampoo or treatment you could recommend? I have bought a couple of different ones recently that don't seem to be helping. Figure at this point I need some good advice before I spend any more $ on shampoos! Thanks in advance

@gellen I personally haven't found the S&C step the most helpful for thinning hair. I used Kerinique and a few others and they were quite drying. I depend on styling products like volumizing mousse and root lifting sprays. Strangely, whether or not your hair needs washing, dry shampoo works wonders to make your hair look thicker.

I'm with you on the dry shampoo, I don't use it as a shampoo, but it's great for adding volume!

I forget where I heard about it working so good to add volume, but it sure works great for me.

@KingstonsMom I like dry shampoo because I can target the spray just on the areas that need it. Too much mousse, etc. means I need to wash my hair more often.

I am 56 with fine salt and pepper hair . In October I ordered from the company Function of Beauty a company that personalises your shampoo and conditoner . I am loving it . You take a quiz and choose what you want to focus on mine is -Anti aging , volumize and strengthen . You customize colors of products , also fragrance ( or unscented ) I have been really pleased with it . I had seen it on one of Dr Dray's video and decided to try it . I have been very satisfied . They also have a serum and other products but I only have the shampoo & conditioner . Good luck !

@KingstonsMom Do you use any specific brand of dry shampoo. My hair is getting thin by my bangs and I'd like to try the dry shampoo. Thanks.

I use the 'Batiste' brand, relatively inexpensive at any retailer/drug store, etc.

I get mine at TJMaxx, always available there in a variety of scents, $4.50 for a 6.73 oz. can.

I've tried many different shampoos, and " Dove Thickening Ritual , with lavender and rosemary," is a keeper. Every expensive shampoo I used left my hair like straw, and in the case of " Kerinique ", my scalp itched like crazy. Give the Dove a try !

I am struggling with hair issues as well. I have found that some styling products make a noticeable improvement in hair thickness. One is Nick Chavez plump and thick styling creme. (The gel is good too but I prefer the cream). My hair feels noticeably thicker. Also Alterna makes a product called hair densifying root spray. It is sold at Sephora. Kind of expensive but it adds thickness. It's supposed to help hair growth I think, but I haven't used it long enough to know. For shampoo/conditioner I like the Carol's Daughter Monoi Ora. Good luck in your hunt!

Many years ago my hair started falling out badly, I found a product at Kmart that was called Progaine, like rogaine. It helped a lot. I think it was stress related.

I went to Whole Foods and asked the clerk what product sold well and she gave me a shampoo that lots of cancer woman were buying that she said seemed to help. I liked it to. I can find the name if you are interested.

@gellen I am not sure if special shampoos for growth do anything but I know that Acure volume shampoo works and then I towel dry my hair and spray on Aquage Thickening Spray which thickens my hair. Both products are excellent. The shampoo is sulfate free.

@Katcat1Where do you buy Acure shampoo?

You won't believe my new favorite shampoo... Head and Shoulders in the white container....it is creamy doesn't smell and leaves my hair manageable!

Recommended by my dermatologist and my stylist was so impressed!

My hair is better, I think, than it has ever been!

@gellen I suggest a search for Pura D'Or Original Gold Label Anti-Thinning Shampoo at Amazon. It has over 13,000 reviews, with a 4.5 rating. And, it comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

I am on medications that cause hair loss, so, in desperation, ordered a bottle based on those reviews. I've used it about 4 - 6 weeks so far (trying to get away with once or twice a week, as wet hair is so fragile), and can honestly attest that the hair loss has significantly decreased.

As a nice bonus, there was a sticker on the bottle that offered a free full-sized one just by supplying my address and Amazon order number to the company. I did, and it arrived within a few days.

Good luck on your hunt. I know how concerning hair loss can be.

@BirkiLady I buy it at iherb.com because if you spend $20 you receive free shpg.

I started having fall out a couple of years ago. Had a very dry, scratcht scalp. Started using Tweak-d restore and now my hair is getting thicker and has real growth. It's soft, shiney and I don't need any styling products. I'm so pleased. I'm 66 so no spring chicken.

I had really bad hair from a nutrient problem when I had a bad stomach. My hair was a mess and I tried the 4 bond n plex shampoo and conditioner and it worked wonders. I got it from my hair dresser. They are awesome products and have no paraben or bad ingredients. I'm about to try the boost root lifter volumize spray.

I'm a happy WEN user of @ 10 years.

My hair is healthy, thick, and shinny. Previously I had a BAD issue with medication induced dry hair & oily scalp. YUCK - bad combo.

TT really made a difference.

If you don't like WEN, Thank you for sparing me from WEN bashing, and just skip along - I've heard it all.

@brandiwine Which product(s) in the Restore line are you using? You just said Tweak'd restore but there are a few products that say restore. Thank you!

One of my standbys is “MANE AND TAIL” hair products as well as

their hand/body lotions.

Look on Amazon for Arrow Mane and Tale products...they have hair growth products, shine spray, and many others,

I started using it when my DDs were little and CVS/WALGREENS would

offer BOGO occasionally.

The Shamp/Cond. combo is very inexpensive.
