This was my secret "two-for-one" hack. It’s amazing for your skin, but since it’s so flexible, I’d also just lay it over my scalp to help wake those follicles back up. Red light therapy is a game-changer for stimulating blood flow to the follicles an...
CurrentBody Skin LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask
I used the comb attachment on this to give my scalp a little "zap" every night. It’s supposed to get the blood flowing to the roots, and honestly, it was so satisfying to use. I really feel like it helped speed up the new growth!
DermatiPrem High Frequency Wand
When your hair is falling out, you’re scared to touch it, but scalp circulation is key. I used this very gently in the shower to help the serum sink in or even before bed in a dry scalp for atleast 15 min to keep my scalp clear of buildup without tu...
AIMIKE Soft Silicone Scalp Massager Brush
I actually preferred this over a roller because it doesn't get tangled in your hair. I’d use it once a week to help my serums sink in deeper and get the blood flowing to my scalp. It sounds a little intimidating at first, but it’s actually really eas...
Derma Stamp - Derma Roller Alternative -
Oils & Minoxidil
My derm actually specifically told me to stick with the 2% version because it's much gentler for women. It gives you all the regrowth benefits without the risk of accidentally growing hair in "other" places on your face (which was a huge fear of mine...
hers Minoxidil 2% Solution - Women's Hair Growth
This was my daily "safe" serum. It smells like a literal luxury spa and most importantly it never made my hair look greasy or flat. It’s definitely a splurge, but it made my hair feel so much stronger while I was waiting for the new growth to finally...
Genesis Strengthening Serum for Hair and Scalp - Kérastase | Sephora
I loved that this was water-based and not oily. I could apply it every night before bed without having to wash my hair the next morning. It’s a great, affordable option for supporting density. I really noticed a lot of improvement since i started usi...
Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density
shampoos & conditioner
Don't let the "men's" packaging scare you off the caffeine in this is a classic for a reason. I loved the tingly feeling it gave my scalp, and it's easily the most affordable science-backed thing I tried.
Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo 250 Ml
My hair was so fragile during the shedding phase, and this shampoo was a total lifesaver. It’s specifically made to help with thinning, and the caffeine really helps give your roots a little "wake-up call." Plus, it made my hair feel way more volumin...
Plantur 39 Phyto Caffeine Shampoo 250ml
When my hair was at its thinnest, the last thing I wanted was more breakage. Unlike a heavy mask, it’s a super lightweight leave-in that actually repairs the hair from the inside.

I was terrified of waking up and seeing hair on my pillow. Switching to silk reduced the friction and "tugging" on my hair while I slept. It’s one of the few things that actually gave me peace of mind at night.

Wet hair is at its weakest. I stopped using heavy bath towels and switched to this microfiber wrap. It’s so much lighter and doesn’t pull on the roots
