Another good option for laser hair therapy. Great full head coverage makes it easy. Developed by NASA scientists!
Theradome PRO LH80
This is the more affordable Theradome helmet. I really like these if you have widespread hair loss because of the coverage area.
Theradome EVO LH40
Theradome is another medical-grade laser option for an LLLT device. They have two models of their helmet, which is good when you're looking for really good coverage all over the head.

Cap style provides full scalp coverage. Requires 6 min/day use. This is their entry level model.

Supplements/Vitamins
Saw palmetto supplements can be kind of tricky because of the dose needed and the typical unpleasant smell/taste. Dr. Mercola has somehow figured out how to make it work though. You only need 2 droppers each day, and it does not taste/smell bad. I us...
Dr. Mercola Saw Palmetto Liquid Drops 2oz
While studies are still inconclusive about our body's ability to utilize collagen supplementation, this is a multi-purpose collagen powder that also provides protein and probiotics. A great multi-tasker! I put it in my morning latte.
Ancient Nutrition Multi Collagen Protein
A quality multivitamin is important to make sure you're covered on essential vitamins and minerals that can affect hair growth.
Ritual Multivitamin
Saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil both have evidence supporting their DHT blocking abilities. This particular supplement combines them both in one.
Micro Ingredients, Pumpkin Seed Oil
These saw palmetto supplements are a cost effective option and the typical therapeutic dose.
NOW Foods, Saw Palmetto Extract, Men's Health, 320 mg
Cost effective pumpkin seed oil supplement
NOW Foods, Pumpkin Seed Oil, 1,000 mg, 200 Softgels
Trichologist-created DHT blocking supplement that combines saw palmetto, zinc, pumpkin and other hair supportive ingredients.
DHT Blocker with Immune Support Nutraceutical
This supplement combines many botanicals thought to help with blocking DHT, including saw palmetto, pumpkin seed extract, and nettle.
Vitamatic, Saw Palmetto + Nettle Leaf/Pumpkin/Pygeum, 180 Veg Capsules
Topicals
Both men and women can use 5% minoxidil. This is the most affordable topical minoxidil I have found. We love a COSTCO find! (Liquid version)
Kirkland Signature Hair Regrowth Treatment Extra Strength, 5% Minoxidil Topical Solution, 2 fl oz, 6-pack
Another COSTCO option. This one is the foam version. It can be used by both men and women - ignore the purple packaging.
Women’s Minoxidil by Perrigo Hair Regrowth Treatment 2.11 fl oz, 6-pack
CVS even has their own generic minoxidil now. This foam can also be used by men.
CVS Women's 5% Minoxidil Foam for Hair Regrowth
XYON is the one company right now that I would go to for finasteride. Their SiloxysSystem™ Gel offers a targeted, controlled-release treatment, designed to minimize side effects and maximize hair regrowth. (You won't find any other finasteride option...
XYON Hair Loss Solutions - Men & Women
Another CVS option. Doesn't matter the packaging - just that it's a 5% minoxidil product for maximum OTC effectiveness.
CVS Men's 5% Minoxidil Foam for Hair Regrowth
VIRTUE has come out with their own foam minoxidil in their flourish line. Get this over the density booster if you're dealing with hair loss.
VIRTUE Flourish Minoxidil Foam 5 For Women 2.11 oz.
A little cost savings here - this combo pack from Virtue saves you a couple dollars over buying the single pack.
Flourish Minoxidil 5% Foam for Hair Growth - Virtue | Ulta Beauty
Keranique has this foam minoxidil, which is the recommended 5%. I would choose this over their solution because it is only 2%.
Hair Regrowth 5% Minoxidil Foam - Keranique
Growplex is a ‘minoxidil plus’ solution. Some of the additional ingredients are supposed to help with blocking DHT.
VITAFOAM ™ Hair Growth Formula
Wouldn't use as a standalone topical in a hair loss routine, but I would use as a secondary topical (aimed at supporting decreasing DHT).
Pura D'or, Hair Thinning Therapy Energizing Scalp Serum, 4 fl oz (120 ml)
Both men and women can use this. It uses Nanoxidil as its base, which is like minoxidil but with a lower molecular weight.
Spectral Men's (DNC-N) | Hair Density Serum with Nanoxidil® 5%
Nanoxidil, which is nearly identical to minoxidil, is the base for this topical. It promises a non-greasy finish, which is usually a problem with minoxidil formulations.
Spectral Women's (CSF) | Revitalizing Serum for Women with Nanoxidil 5%
DS Labs typically uses their proprietary minoxidil-like Nanoxidil, but they do also offer a traditional 5% minoxidil solution formulated with their technology.
Spectral.UHP | MEN’S Extra Strength Hair Regrowth Treatment with Minoxidil 5%
Tools
Microneedling has shown promise to help with the penetration of topicals, like minoxidil, into the scalp.
Beautimate Adjustable Derma Stamp – Microneedling Tool
If you have long hair, I suggest a stamp over a roller. But if you have short hair, a roller works just fine!
Cosmedica Skincare, Microneedling Derma Roller
Very affordable and accessible dermaroller via Ulta Beauty
Micro Derma Roller - Kitsch | Ulta Beauty
