This is a list I’ve wanted to compile for a while. If you have thinning hair you probably want a product you can apply that makes your hair look thicker. But you don’t want a product that contains chemicals that aren’t good for your scalp skin or your hair. And ideally you want a product that contains ingredients that either help prevent hair loss or promote hair growth. So that’s what this list is. I’ve included only products that contain properties that make hair appear thicker, by increasing the diameter of individual hair follicles and contain ingredients that fight hair loss.
