Start With The Right Formula
One day it happens: you run your fingers through your hair and spot more strands on your hands than on your head. Every mirror check turns into a guessing game: “Was that spot always there?” But here’s the thing—your shampoo might be making it worse or, at the very least, not helping. So, here are 20 shampoos that actually support thinning hair with targeted ingredients.
1. Nioxin System 2 Shampoo
Designed for noticeably thinning, non-colored hair, Nioxin System 2 combines scalp stimulation with strand strengthening. Its blend of peppermint oil and caffeine promotes blood flow, supporting healthier follicles. Plus, dermatologists often suggest it for postpartum shedding.
