Hair loss doesn’t just affect men, 40 percent of women over 35 are affected by thinning hair. The diameter of the hair shaft diminishes as we get older. That means you may have the same number of follicles, but thinner individual strands will make it look like there’s less volume. There are plenty of thinning hair treatments for women that boost overall volume, prevent hair loss and promote hair regrowth.

Test-tube studies suggest that caffeine stimulates the growth of hair follicles. Further data reveals that caffeine can penetrate the scalp and hair follicles when applied as a shampoo. Plantur 39 shampoo is a caffeine-based shampoo that claims to counteract the effects of postmenopausal hormone imbalance. It stops dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone largely responsible for hair loss, from attacking the hair follicles.

Boots expert hair loss treatment spray for women is a much publicized spray based on a complex extracted from Costa Rican coffee beans and Indian pennywort. The claim is that this thinning hair treatment for women works to slow down hair thinning, encourage thicker hair, and boost the overall feel and condition of the hair.
Use a volumizing shampoo or thickening spray as a thinning hair treatment for women. Look for ingredients like rice or wheat proteins, which thicken strands. Try Sally Hershberger Supreme Head Shampoo for Normal to Thin Hair or Pureology PureVolume Shampoo. Nanogen hair thickening spray is a topical range that uses pantothenic acid and water to make the hair swell as the water is forced to the centre of the hair shaft.

Avoid using stiff, maximum-hold hairsprays since they can fracture the hair shaft when you brush them out. The new ‘flexible’ versions are less likely to cause breakage. Try Pantene Pro-V Classic Hairspray Flexible Hold and Jonathan Finish Control High Shine Flexible Hairspray.

An effective thinning hair treatment for women should also prevent hair loss. The LEIMO Hair Care System works by targeting the cause (DHT in the Scalp) and the effect (Miniaturization of the Follicle).

Revivogen is a topical mixture aiming to block the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This contains many different ingredients intended to reduce DHT. Tricomin shampoo, conditioner and follicle hairspray is a copper-based range of products that claim to inhibit DHT.

To stimulate hair growth, try the following products:

Regaine scalp solution for women is a spray containing an active ingredient, minoxidil, which the manufacturers claim increases the supply of blood and nutrients to hair follicles, stimulating growth. There is good evidence that minoxidil reduces male and female-pattern baldness. Treatment needs to be continued, perhaps for life, as new hair is lost within months if it stops.

Another range of products, Nourkrin – scalp lotion, shampoo, conditioner and supplements – containing a marine protein extract to stimulate hair regrowth and claims to stimulate blood flow in the scalp.

Foltène hair & scalp treatment’s active ingredient is tricosaccaride, a naturally occurring chemical in skin tissue, thought to stimulate hair growth. The treatment claims to extend the hair’s growth phase and reduce the percentage of hair lost in the shedding phase.
