Dealing with hair loss and thinning hair is not easy. It’s a sensitive topic for many, and it can feel pretty debilitating.

However, this is a reality for many people. According to the American Hair Loss Association, “two-thirds of American men will experience some degree of appreciable hair loss” by age 35. Additionally, 40 percent of hair loss sufferers are women.

While there isn’t a way to magically grow back your hair, there are ways to help maintain and improve what you’ve got. From shampoos to oils, take a look below at some of the most popular products to help combat thinning hair.

One way to help prevent hair loss is by maintaining a healthy scalp. According to Healthline, too much buildup (a.k.a excess oil, sweat and dead skin cells) can damage your hair follicles, which can potentially lead to hair loss. This Paul Mitchell tea tree shampoo works against this by helping to cleanse and stimulate your scalp with several unique ingredients including turmeric and ginseng.

2. Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Clinical Densifying Shampoo, $34

The main purpose of this shampoo is help purify and protect your scalp. That means removing all the “follicle-clogging dirt” and impurities that end up trapped on your skin. Additionally, it claims to support the reduction of DHT (the main hormone linked to hair loss), and promote thicker and fuller-looking hair.

3. The Mane Choice Multi-Vitamin Scalp Nourishing Hair Growth Oil, $11.99

If you want to add inches to your locks, consider this popular hair oil from The Mane Choice. Not only does it help encourage hair growth by “stimulating inactive hair follicles,” but it also deeply moisturizes and conditions your scalp. Plus, it’s lightweight, non-greasy and perfect for all hair types.

4. Briogeo Scalp Revival Stimulating Therapy Massager, $16

Another way to help improve your hair’s health by using a scalp massager. Scalp massagers like this one from Briogeo help boost blood circulation, which many believe can lead to hair growth and thickness.

Studies have shown that scalp massage can increase hair thickness by stretching the living hair follicle cells and stimulating them to produce thicker, individual hairs, so I’d suggest them for anyone who wants to have thicker hair,” Los Angeles–based dermatologist Jessica Wu told Allure.

5. Initialiste Scalp & Hair Serum, $51

Although a bit pricey at $51, this Kerastase serum may be worth the investment. Described as an “advanced hair and scalp” treatment, the serum helps strengthen and grow hair fibers. It contains gluco peptide, an ingredient that penetrates the deep layers of your hair cuticles and helps stimulate growth.
