Whether you are experiencing thinning hair as a result of hormonal changes, pregnancy, or medications — or have always had thin hair and would like to find ways to boost your hair density, topical products can help.

Unfortunately, hair serums, conditioners, and masks for thin hair are a dime a dozen, and they don’t always work (and can cost you a pretty penny over time). It’s important to choose ingredients that have been evaluated by experts in the field and are deemed effective.

This is the $18 miracle hair mask you should use every morning for thinning hair, according to dermatologists.

When it comes to topical thinning hair treatments, a few ingredients are stand-out stars that have been show to slow down shedding and strengthen hair follicles. Among them: peptides that target stem cells, improve and increase blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles, and well-established healthy hair ingredients like caffeine and castor oil.


Here’s one affordable mask that contains all of those amazing ingredients, and won’t break the bank (or even require a shower).

A few drops of this serum go a long way. It won’t break the bank and it boasts plenty of amazing reviewers to back up its claim that it makes thinning hair look supercharged.


One reviewer writes: “This stuff is awesome! I have a ton of naturally wavy hair, but it always lacked volume. Since I started using this, my hair is noticeably more voluminous and the waves come through so much fuller. My hair is also growing like CRAZY. Like, my hairdresser was commenting on the difference all through my last appointment.”


Another reviewer has this to say: “So glad I found this. I’m four months postpartum and experiencing temporary hair loss. I tried to take a biotin supplement, but the one I chose caused severe stomach cramping (never again!), so I searched for something topical. I noticed a difference after the FIRST use: more volume, a calmer scalp, more bounce in my hair. This little jar gave me my confidence back.”

If you prefer a traditional mask that can be used after shampoo and conditioner, this hair loss treatment mask was developed by doctors to help treat alopecia. It was designed with saw palmetto, spongilla, and cayenne that reduces hair loss, boosts blood circulation to the scalp, and strengthens hair follicles. The mask is a bit warming and reviewers say it feels like a massage on your scalp — and will make hair super soft and silky.
