Losing hair, watching it thin out, or finding clumps in your brush can really get you down. It’s crucial to consult a dermatologist to figure out the best plan tailored to your needs. Sure, hair loss can come with aging or poor nutrition, but did you know that some hair care products can actually make things worse?

3 Useless Shampoos Experts Say You Should Stop Using Because They Can Cause Thinning Hair

While we always prioritize our skin-care routines, we sometimes forget about our scalps. They need hydration just like the rest of the skin. “Think about your scalp as an extension of your face,” says Gretchen Friese, MD, a trichologist at BosleyMD. “We need to keep the scalp moisturized to keep it healthy—and [keep] the follicles healthy for hair growth.”

How to Moisturize Your Scalp for Maximum Hair Growth

Whether your hair is starting to thin or has always been on the finer side, it’s not uncommon for us to want to find ways to boost the bulk in our hair for thicker-looking strands. Your options are somewhat limited in this area, and many dermatologists recommend a multi-layered approach that involves trying a few different methods to see what works best for you. If you have genetic hair loss, the best solution may be minoxidil (Rogaine) or a more potent supplement, but hair oils can act as a natural topical hair thickening assistant, if you’d rather go that route.

Does your hair look and feel thinner than it used to? It isn’t uncommon to experience hair shedding and thinning as the years pass, and this is often a result of hormonal changes (among other factors).

It’s always a good idea to do some leg work on your own at home by purchasing quality shampoos and conditioners that contain effective ingredients.

If you're searching for a quick and easy low-maintenance protective hairstyle, look no further than flat twists. “They involve twisting sections of hair flat against the scalp, providing a protective style similar to cornrows but instead using a two-strand twisting technique," says celebrity hairstylist Camille Friend.

Martha Stewart is currently galavanting around the Paris 2024 Olympics completing random side quests alongside Snoop Dogg. (I will never get over how random that friendship is.) She just turned 83 years old and looks ageless as ever—I pray to our lizard overlords that I ever look half that radiant.
