Tip No. 9: Products for Thinning Hair

There are a wide variety of products on the market that are advantageous to use for thinning hair. You can ask your stylist for specific brand recommendations, but in general keep in mind the following guidelines:

• Use volumizing shampoo and conditioner. If you choose a leave in conditioner, ensure it is very light and non greasy.
• Shampoos should have a pH of 4.5 – 5.5 so as not to irritate the scalp.
• Use a deep cleansing or clarifying shampoo bi-weekly to get rid of product buildup.
• Volumizing mousse is formulated specifically for fine/thinning hair so that it gives volume without the heaviness.
• Volumizing thermal protectors are great to use to add body, if you blow dry your hair often.
• For hold, opt for a light hairspray or styling cream.
• Avoid waxes and heavy pastes.
