Question Shampoos/Conditioners for thinning hair

What kind of success (or lack of) has anyone had with the shampoos and conditioners designed for thinning hair? My hair dresser recommended a shampoo and leave in conditioner for me to try and I'm just wondering what to expect.

i would be surprised if a shampoo or conditioner could do anything to stop hair from thinning...there may be volumizing products that try to make the hair appear thicker...have you seen a dr to try and find out why you are losing hair?

I'd use Nioxin. Look at their website and ask some salons about it. It is more costly than many, but worth it and it last a long time. They make some specific products, as more of a treatment, for hair loss. Good luck.

Cool

I tried Nioxin and wasn't too thrilled with the results - been using Rogaine and much happier with the results.

BTW - I had one of my eyebrows "massacred" a few months ago when I was getting it shaped/waxed. The dermatologist rec'd putting Rogaine on a q-tip daily and rubbing it on my eyebrow - it DID grow back in faster!

You can also get regrowth of hair using a tea tree oil shampoo, it cleans and gets the hair folical in the right working order. And you can add extra tea tree oil to the shampoo, you'd need to empty some of the shampoo into a container so there would be enough room for shaking it up. Only a few though, 8 drops for a 8oz bottle, so if you pour some out take that into consideration. This is much cheaper than rogain. If money saving is something you like to do, this would be a good alternative. You can even make your own tea/tree shampoo's too, and remember to just massage it in, let it set on the hair for awhile, twenty min. or so. Do a test with the oil..to check for allergic reations, a drop of pure tea/tree oil on the inside of the arm, you will know within minutes if you are allergic. Tea/tree oil is spendy, but one little bottle goes along way, and there are all kinds of great uses for it. Store it where it's cool and dark and don't store the bottle with other med. or cosmetics.
After a few treatments, you'll want to go every other shampoo with the stronger mix. Diana
