Hair Growth & Thickening

Do hair growth products work?

Yes, many do! A well-made hair growth treatment can nourish a healthier scalp and strengthen hair at the root. With consistent use, it may help reduce hair fall and improve hair texture and thickness over time.

A consistent haircare routine helps keep your scalp in good condition and gives active ingredients the time to work. The results aren’t instant, but with the right haircare products and regular use, you’re more likely to see fuller, stronger hair. Not sure where to start?

How do hair growth products work?

Hair growth products work by focusing on the scalp. That’s where healthy hair begins. Many are made with active ingredients that help improve blood flow to the hair follicle and promote a clean, balanced scalp. This creates a better environment for new hair to grow.

Some also help with hair strengthening to reduce breakage, while others increase hair thickening to boost texture and volume. These products work best with consistent use as part of a regular routine that maintains scalp and hair health.

What is the main ingredient in hair growth products?

There’s no single main ingredient, but several natural actives are commonly used in hair products to support scalp health, reduce breakage and improve thickness. These can be found in hair growth shampoos, conditioners, serums and hair oils.

Some of the most effective plant-based ingredients include:

• Tea tree oil, which cleanses the scalp and removes buildup
• Nettle extract, which promotes thicker-looking hair and helps reduce breakage
• Oleanolic acid to strengthen hair at the root
• Baobab fruit extract to nourish dry strands and help repair damaged hair
• Ginseng that stimulates the hair follicles and encourages growth
• Kakadu plum, which improves hair strength and resilience
• Coconut oil, which adds protein to the hair shaft and locks in moisture
• Aloe vera to soothe the scalp, reduces dandruff and maintain follicle health

What products are good for hair growth?

Products that help with hair growth care for the scalp and strengthen your hair from root to tip. A nourishing hair mask clears product buildup and improves moisture levels, which supports healthier strands over time. For daily care, hair growth conditioners soften and protect your hair without weighing it down.

Many people also reach for hair growth serums to nourish the roots. These lightweight hair treatments are made to improve scalp condition and may help reduce visible thinning when used regularly.

If your hair is shedding more than usual, try a targeted hair loss treatment system. Look for one that suits your hair type and includes ingredients that promote scalp health, strand strength and long-term volume.

Our Australian and international brands at Hairhouse boast highly effective formulas with quality ingredients that can restore health and volume to your hair. We offer anti-thinning shampoos and conditioners by Paul Mitchell, multi-step systems by Nioxin to boost healthy hair growth for all hair types, plumping treatments by KEVIN.MURPHY, and thickening fibres by Bosley to help you achieve fuller-looking hair.

What happens when you stop using hair growth products?

Hair growth products work best with regular use. If you stop using them, it’s possible the progress you’ve made will slow down or return to where it started. Some people may notice more dryness, frizz or even split ends over time, especially if their hair was already fragile.

Many products include ingredients like keratin and actives that help maintain scalp and strand health. These manage hair concerns like thinning or breakage, but they don’t provide permanent results. That’s why sticking to a routine matters.

If you have natural hair that's thinning, L'Oreal Serioxyl Shampoo is hypoallergenic and perfect for those with sensitive scalps. For a simple way to boost hair volume, try a KEVIN.MURPHY product. Plumping Rinse is a thickening conditioner, while Body Mass and Thick Again are leave-in treatments that help give you lusciously full locks from root to tip.

Kérastase has thickening treatments for men and women. The Spécifique Spray Stimuliste is designed to support hair density and scalp vitality, while Densifique Fondant Densité is a lightweight conditioner made to thicken and add texture to fine and thinning hair. Men will love the Densifique Bain Densité Homme cleanser, which beefs up fine hair and leaves scalps refreshed!

Nioxin is the number one choice for hair and hairline growth products. With a multi-step system, these treatments improve scalp health and encourage hair regrowth with clinically proven ingredients like Minoxidil. There's a kit for every hair type, including System 1 for lightly thinning hair, System 2 for progressively thinning hair, System 3 for colour-treated hair, and System 6 for thinning medium to coarse hair.

What is the ideal haircare routine for thinning hair?

The best routine for thinning hair focuses on gentle care, a healthy scalp and consistent habits that help maintain healthier hair over time. Pairing the right products with small changes in how you treat your hair day to day can make a real difference in strength, texture and volume.

Here are a few simple steps to care for thinning hair:

• Massage your scalp regularly to stimulate circulation and follicle activity
• Use a soft-bristled hairbrush, such as a boar bristle brush, to reduce breakage
• Choose ceramic or ionic hair dryers and hair straighteners to minimise heat damage
• Avoid tight hairstyles and opt for spiral hair bands that are gentler on your strands
• Keep your heat styling tools on low and always apply a heat protectant spray before styling
• Wash with a mild shampoo that suits your hair type
