Forget “miracle cures” … We’ve consulted grooming experts and dermatologists for the proven, modern approach to keeping (and growing) your hair.

How to Fight Thinning Hair

For most men, the first signs of thinning hair trigger one of two reactions: either a resigned acceptance that “this is just how it goes” or a panicked search for miracle cures. The truth lies somewhere in between. While there's no single overnight fix, the science-backed options for slowing hair loss and even stimulating regrowth have never been better. But make no mistake, thinning locks is a battle most guys will face—as the American Hair Loss Association notes that 85% of men will face hair loss as they hit middle age. The key is consistency, along with choosing the right mix of cutting-edge therapies and well-formulated grooming products.

If you're ready to fight back against a receding hairline or thinning crown, think of it like building a solid grooming regimen—you layer strategies for the best effect. Supplements strengthen follicles from within, topical products keep the scalp healthy, and technology-based treatments kick-start growth where it's stalled. Here's a breakdown of proven tools worth adding to your arsenal.

 

Nutrafol Hair Growth
Nutraceuticals

Nutrafol is clinically proven to combat the root causes of thinning, including stress, inflammation and hormonal imbalances, while supporting thicker, stronger hair over time. The dermatologist-recommended daily supplement is packed with vitamins, minerals, adaptogens, and botanical extracts.

Red Light Therapy

This FDA-backed device looks like a helmet and combines the gentle nature of LEDs with the power of laser diodes. The low-level laser therapy extends the growth phase of your hair and boosts density. Worn for just 25 minutes every other day, it's an easy, hands-off treatment you can use while watching TV or answering emails. The brand even offers a six-month money-back guarantee if no results are seen.

Exfoliating
Scalp Shampoo

Take care of your scalp if you want to hang onto the hair you have and make an environment for new growth. This exfoliating shampoo detoxifies the scalp, clears away dead skin buildup, and encourages new growth by allowing treatments to penetrate better. Use it once a week in place of your regular shampoo.
