12 Best Hair-Growth Products for Thinning and Shedding, According to Experts
7. Women’s Rogaine 2% Minoxidil Topical Solution
Yup, Rogaine isn’t just for men. Specifically designed for women, the topical solution meant to help regrow hair contains FDA-approved Minoxidil. Apply the product to your scalp twice a day to dry or wet hair and expect to start seeing results in as soon as a few weeks. Associate director Gabriella Iannetta had the product recommended to her by her doctor. She was in the market for prescription hair-loss pills but was told that those can actually grow “chia-pet-esque hair,” sometimes in unwanted places. “I wanted to deal with some thinning at my hairline,” she says. “I use this twice a day, every day, and have noticed a lot of fullness in just one month. It’s been a staple in my everyday routine.”
Pros: Comes with a three-month supply; thousands of five-star reviews; recommended by doctors.
Cons: Have to apply twice a day.
8. Revivv Hair Growth Serum
Consider Revivv’s Hair Growth Serum an invitation to give yourself a little self-care moment. Prop your feet up and massage the serum into your scalp for a few minutes. It comes in a convenient, mess-free rollerball format so you can easily do this one in bed without ruining your sheets. At over $100 for a 90-day supply, it’s pricey, but most people see results after just six weeks. “If you want to go holistic, Revivv has demonstrated excellent results,” says board-certified dermatologist and hair-loss expert Jeffrey Rapaport, MD. “It’s botanical and cosmetically elegant.”
Pros: Lightweight; good clinical results, mess-free packaging
