Viviscal is one of the leading over-the-counter supplements for hair loss and it's Emer's top choice for at-home remedies.
"I really like Viviscal as part of the routine for daily hair care to slow down the process of loss, to keep the scalp healthy and keep the hair stronger, thicker and darker with better luster and growth," says Emer. "While hair supplements may not prevent hereditary hair loss from occurring, they can give your hair a much better chance of surviving or slow the process of thinning."
For a more holistic approach, consider this supplement. Its goal is to target some of the most common causes of thinning hair in women, including stress and nutrition. The ingredients are clinically tested to support overall wellness, which can also improve your sleep, energy level, overall mood and even skin health.
KeraHealth is another supplement for hair loss. It's formulated with niacinamide, vitamins B5 and B6, copper, zinc and biotin.
"If you're experiencing hair loss or hair thinning, biotin supplements may help. They may also help nail growth," says Emer. "Research suggests that increasing your biotin intake between 2 milligrams and 5 milligrams per day could improve the strength and thickness of your hair and the earlier you start the better."
This two-part system consists of a vitamin C powder and a tonic that promotes collagen production. The two are mixed together before applying directly to your scalp for a potent treatment. The methodology is unique and the fact that the vitamin C is in powder form until just before it's applied means that it can deliver active, stabilized vitamin C to the scalp for over 12 hours.
Foligain specializes in shampoo, conditioner and treatment products that target thinning hair, hair loss and lack of growth. This shampoo contains the brand's proprietary combination of bioactive ingredients that fosters growth and healthier hair.
