Hair Thinning & Loss

What causes hair loss?

Age might seem like the biggest reason for hair loss in men and women, but it’s not the only one. Hair thinning or loss can also happen because of:

• Poor diet and lifestyle habits
• Medical conditions
• Male pattern baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia)
• Stress and anxiety
• Side effects from medications

From volume shampoos and scalp treatments that promote healthier hair to styling products that boost thickness, we’ve got everything you need to address thinning hair. Drop by a Hairhouse store or browse our online collection to find the right hair growth products that suit your needs!

What are the early signs of hair thinning?

Noticing the early signs of thinning hair can help you act quickly to prevent further loss. Common signs include a receding hairline, thinning around the crown or more hair left on your hairbrush or in the shower drain. Some people also notice overall reduced hair density or patchy thinning.

What shampoo works for thinning hair?

If you’re dealing with thinning hair or hair fall, our Hairhouse experts suggest hair loss shampoos and treatments that can boost hair density and support regrowth. Here are some of their top picks:

• Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Scalp Care Anti-Thinning Shampoo: Infused with natural ingredients like Kakadu Plum and ginseng, this shampoo reinvigorates thin hair for a denser appearance while cleansing away impurities.
• Bosley Hair Thickening Fibres: Cover up thin patches with keratin-based thickening fibres that match your exact hair colour. These fibres electrostatically attach to hair follicles for fuller-looking hair in an instant.
• Nioxin System Kits: These multi-step system kits encourage hair growth and minimise breakage at every stage of hair thinning. Use System 1 for natural hair with light thinning or System 2 for natural hair with progressed thinning. For colour-treated hair, choose System 3 for light thinning and System 4 for advanced thinning. If your hair is coarse and colour-treated, choose System 5 for light thinning and System 6 for progressed thinning.
• Scalp to Hair Follicle Energiser Treatment: This hair treatment is a leave-in conditioner that protects and soothes the scalp, softens hair and encourages blood flow and rejuvenation.

Is hair loss shampoo effective?

Yes, hair loss shampoos can help improve the look and feel of thinning hair when used as part of a regular routine. They’re made to support healthy hair, manage hair thinning and give your scalp the best chance to regrow stronger, thicker hair.

Top brands like Nioxin, Scalp to Hair and Bosley are loved for their hair thickening shampoos. They deeply cleanse your scalp, clear away build-up and help your locks look thicker and fuller. When used regularly, these shampoos can help you feel more confident about your hair.

How to choose the right hair loss shampoo

To choose the best shampoo for hair loss, consider your hair type and specific needs. While medically reviewed and FDA-approved OTC medications and hair growth supplements are available, haircare products with active ingredients can also help.

We suggest lightweight shampoos for fine hair to boost volume without weighing it down. For dandruff or a dry, itchy scalp, a hydrating shampoo can soothe irritation and reduce flaking.

To repair and protect damaged hair, look for shampoos with proteins and antioxidants. Active ingredients like caffeine, biotin or keratin are often included in these products to promote thicker, healthier hair.

Styling tips to make thinning hair look fuller

Styling can instantly help your hair look thicker and more voluminous. With the right hair products and a few simple techniques, you can create a fuller look while keeping your hair healthy. Here’s how to get started:

• Try volumising sprays or mousses: Lightweight volumisers and mousses lift your roots and add body to thinning hair.
• Skip heavy gels or waxes: These can weigh your hair down and make thinning more obvious.
• Blow-dry with a round brush: Use a round brush to lift hair at the roots and add volume as you dry.
• Add a texturising spray: Texturising sprays create volume and give your hair a thicker, natural finish.
• Use the right brush: Gently brushing with a boar bristle brush stimulates your scalp and spreads natural oils for healthier hair.

How to use hair loss shampoo

Using hair loss shampoo is simple and, when done right, can help reduce thinning and support hair growth. Follow these easy steps to get the best results:

• Massage your scalp: Work the shampoo in with your fingertips, then massage a mix of rosemary oil and coconut oil for a few minutes to boost circulation and support hair regrowth.
• Use a scalp scrub weekly: A scalp scrub removes dead skin and build-up and helps maintain a healthy scalp for new hair growth.
• Wash your hair less often: Keep your natural oils intact by washing less frequently. Use dry shampoo between washes to keep your hair looking fresh.
• Protect your hair from heat: Always apply a heat protectant spray before using styling tools to prevent breakage.
