You’re doing your morning blow dry and you catch a glimpse of your scalp in the mirror. Wait, wasn’t there more hair there last week? If you start to notice a widening part, hair that feels thinner than it used to or see-through spots (especially around the temples or crown of the head), you’re experiencing hair loss. Don’t panic. It affects nearly half the women in the U.S. But the good news is there are lots of effective treatment options for every budget and time commitment. Here are three of our go-tos.

viviscal

Editors’ Pick: Viviscal Extra Strength Hair System

The Facts:

  • Helps reduce hair shedding
  • Includes a blend of marine-based proteins and collagen
  • Supplies vital nutrients to promote thicker, fuller looking hair

There are a ton of ingestible treatments on the market, but two ingredients that consistently top the list are marine-based proteins and collagen, which can stimulate hair growth. This particular brand has both. One PureWow editor says, “Yes, you have to be consistent and take it every day for at least three months, but it’s easy enough to take down with my morning vitamins. I swear it makes my ponytail feel more substantial and any product that can do that without a hefty application process is a win in my book.”

rosemary oil

Best Value: Plant Therapy Rosemary Organic Essential Oil

The Facts:

  • Natural alternative to minoxidil
  • Free from fillers and additives
  • No chemical smells or irritants

Rosemary oil has been shown to have similar effects to minoxidil (the only FDA-approved ingredient for stimulating hair growth). Not only does it smell amazing, but it also costs less than your pricey lunch salad. To try it at home, mix in a few drops with your shampoo—or use it as an overnight mask by diluting it with jojoba oil before massaging it into your scalp.

irestore

Splurge-worthy: Irestore Laser Hair Growth System

The Facts:

  • FDA-cleared hair loss treatment
  • Low level laser therapy stimulates hair regrowth
  • Lightweight, comfortable, hands-free and easy to use 

OK, we admit this kind of reminds us of our orthodontic headgear. But our teeth did turn out for the better. This device has 51 medical-grade lasers and LED lights that are absorbed by the hair follicles to stimulate growth without a chemical in sight. It’s safe, clinically proven and FDA cleared to help regrow nonexistent hair and thicken what you do have. Just pop it on while you binge the new season of Queer Eye and you’ll be rocking luscious locks in 12 to 24 weeks. Don’t believe us? You have to see the photo evidence on Amazon.
