Thinning Hair

Hi All - Does anyone have any recommendations for shampoo/hair care products for thinning hair? I've had this issue prior to surgery due to my PCOS but I'm thinking I don't want it to get worse. Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!!

That's a pill - the 5000 units? Thanks so much!

I'm a hair dresser and for thinning hair I ALWAYS tell my clients to take Biotin and use Nioxin products. They aren't cheap but they work. Down sides to it are it takes about a full bottle of shampoo and conditioner to notice and you can't stop using it otherwise you'll go back to the way your hair was.

Biotin, zinc, and Choline isolate all help. And yes... I use Nioxin products.

Which ones are pills, if any? Thanks to everyone who replied!

Everything except the Nioxin shampoo and conditioner and mouse products.

I'm also worried about hair loss bc my hair is already really fine. Do you have to order this shampoo online or is there any store that carries it??

Do you have a hairdresser you go to exclusively? If not Walmart salons have the Nioxin products. Your hairdresser might be able to give you a better price.

I can usually find Nioxin products at Ross, Marshalls or TJ Maxx as well. I open the biotin capsules and mix them in the blender with my morning protein shake, just a thought. Although I have noticed hair renewal, I have noticed that I am not losing clumps of hair like I was before. My dermatologist recommended using the Rogaine for women to see if it might help with some regrowth. I have cysts on my ovaries that cause hormone fluctuations which had already caused thinning hair on the very top front of my head. After surgery I was losing hair by the handfuls at each shower. I panicked and went right to the dermatologist. He recommended the Nioxin products as well.

Thank you so much for the feedback! This really helps and I have just placed an order for the Biotin pills and a Nioxin Starter Kit from amazon. :)

I'm also a stylist. I've suggested and now use Nioxin professional hair products for over 17 years. I also take Biotin in chewable form (found at Walmart) twice a day. Both have helped, but after a bit over 3 years being banded, my hair has gone from thin to thick and back many times. Finally, I realized my PROTEIN intake makes a Huge difference! I try to stick with 60 to 90 grams of protein a day. If I slack, the hair begins to break and come out in clumps in the shower. Hope that helps! :)

Nixon products are on sale on groupon this week :) for those who use that site guess ill be ordering when I get home tonight thanks for the info
