If you’re a man experiencing thinning hair, you should use hair care products that focus on scalp health and rebuilding hair strands at the root. Your goal shouldn’t necessarily be shine or manageability but instead, thickness, volume, and breakage. In addition, you’ll want to avoid using shampoos with parabens or sulfates, which can irritate hair and reduce moisture.
Ahead, here are the 5 products we recommend the most for men with thinning hair:
Routine Wellness blew us away and was our favorite when it came to our battle against thinning hair. The Shampoo and Conditioner are made from a proprietary blend of plant-based extracts, oils, and vitamins that are specifically formulated to do two things: help with DHT and nourish your hair. In addition, we used their hair supplement on a daily basis, because it has ingredients that have been clinically shown to increase hair growth and hair thickness. The combination of these products together gave us the thickness, volume, and growth that we were looking for.
We absolutely love the shampoo and conditioner. The formula contains ingredients like saw palmetto oil, nettle extract and apple fruit extract. These ingredients are believed to help with the effects of DHT – the hormone that causes hair loss – on the scalp. In addition, Routine Wellness also contains hair nourishing ingredients like biotin, kelp, and niacin. By providing your hair the essential nutrients and proteins it needs, these ingredients can help stimulate the scalp and nourish each strand.
Routine Wellness has thousands of reviews, and many customers have had some incredible results. In addition, they has a great return policy and will offer you a refund if you’re not happy with the product.
Simply put, Routine Wellness was our favorite combo in my battle against thinning hair. The worst part is that Routine isn’t available on Amazon. My favorite scent for men was Cucumber, which smells amazing. However, I do wish they had more scents geared towards men.

We absolutely loved Shapiro Regrowth Kit. The shampoo and conditioner have many of the same ingredients as Routine Wellness – Biotin, Green Tea, Caffeine and Saw Palmetto. We’re also a fan of the daily foamer, but the minoxidil is in liquid form which we don’t love. We still appreciated the volume and thickness the shampoo gave to us. The product is also easy to purchase through Amazon. However, the price was a bit high, so Shapiro earned our number 2 spot.
3. Pureology Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner
We loved that Pureology Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner is SLS free, and is vegan. We thought the shampoo did a great job cleansing our scalp without stripping it, and the conditioner did a great job of hydrating our hair without weighing it down. Overall, we felt like we had more volume, but that the effect on our hair breakage was low, so we put this as number three on our list.
4. Keranique Shampoo and Conditioner
Keranique Shampoo and Conditioner is aimed specifically at replenishing Kertain in the hair. Keratin is a critical component of hair protein, and so we loved that focus. The shampoo did a great job at volumizing our hair too. However, it seemed like the shampoo stripped away moisture quickly, and so it earned the number 4 spot on our list.
5. Nioxin System Shampoo and Conditioner
Nioxin was the first brand to really focus on hair loss. It started several decades ago, and as a result, has a lot of name brand recognition. We love that it reduces breakage and leaves a refreshed and healthy scalp. We didn’t love two things though. First, it is difficult to know what system to purchase because Nioxin has so many products. Second, each system contains a spray that left our hair a bit greasy when we were done washing it.
As a result, Nioxin ended up fifth on our list!
Remember, each person will have different experiences with these products and our tests weren’t scientific – these are just our opinions. We recommend you stick to something for at least 6 months to see if you are responding well to it.
