The Best Hair Loss Treatments of the year so far

Each month we aim to bring you our top hair loss products and treatment recommendations. This month, as part of National Hair Loss Awareness Month, we take a look back at some of the best and most potent hair loss treatments this year. 

In no particular order, here are the six recommendations for the month of August...

1. Infrared Hair Massaging Brush 

It might not work miracles, but feedback suggests that the infrared hair massaging brush can indeed benefit thinning hair in particular.  More tests are needed to prove the exact effectiveness of this device, but for under £20, it is definitely worth trying.

2. Wella Sun Screen Lotion

We've said it more than once, and for the purpose of this article, we'll say it again: Be sure to use sunscreen lotion on your hair during the summer months.  The sun rays can seriously damage your hair and cause severe shedding, so make sure you prevent this by protecting your strands with a good 30SPF+ solution.

3. Minoxidil

It really doesn't matter what brand you use, they are all the same.  Most people opt for the most well-known brand, like Regaine, but there are cheaper options out there like Kirkland, which offer you the same product for less than half the price.  Minoxidil is the only FDA approved topical treatment for baldness, so if anything is likely to help you out, it is minoxidil.

4. Nettle Leaf

More tests are needed to back this theory, but nettle leaf has shown excellent results in men and women battling baldness and thinning hair.  Usually taken in supplement form, nettle leaf can block the formation of DHT (the cause of hair loss) resulting in less hair fall and more hair growth.

5. HR23+ Hair Health Supplement

Still the fastest growing product of its kind in Europe, HR23+ is a terrific supplement that can halt shedding and increase the rate of healthy hair growth. This potent yet safe supplement has gained excellent reviews from male and female users who have experienced real results.  If you can afford it, this product should be high on your list of things to try.

6. OGX Biotin & Collagen Shampoo

Still the best shampoo out there for combatting baldness, in our opinion, of course. For its ingredients quantity and price, you'll find it very difficult to find a shampoo that is better than OGX Biotin & Collagen shampoo. This shampoo is available at most supermarkets and Boots stores at just £6 a bottle.  Try it - you won't regret it.
