Sleep

Sleeping essentials for reducing hair breakage, which is especially important when your hair is brittle, scalp is unbalanced or damaged, or when your new growth hair is coming in. Those baby hairs can be fragile.

The silk/satin pillowcases from Kitsch are the best! This keeps your hair from breaking as you sleep and shift around. The fabric allows your hair to slide around rather than pull or tug from friction.

This is another silk/satin option to protect your hair while you sleep. There is so much grip and friction from a regular pillowcase! Protecting your hair during sleep is an extremely important step!

Honestly I used the Men's because I bought it for my husband. I liked applying this serum to my scalp, massaging it in, and going right to sleep. I would wash it out in the morning.

Any brand, just do NOT sleep with wet hair!! Having wet hair and a wet scalp makes hair breakage and fall out so easy while you sleep. It was a very hard habit for me to break, but it's very important if you want to keep your hair!

Holy grail!!! This scalp spray was recommended by a scalp specialist that I saw. He was right! This spray helped keep my scalp clean, nurished, and healthy. It stimulated my hair folicles which helped new hair growth. I would spray and massage with m...

Great shampoo for hair growth. I started using this about halfway into my hair growth journey. I don;t think it accelerated the regrowth (the scalp spray and supplements already had that covered well) but I do think it helped the new hairs to stay in...

If you get dandruff, THIS is the stuff to use! It kept my scalp very clean, no flakes, no itchiness, and didn't dry out my hair. Taking care of dandruff (especially caused by overgrowth of the yeast Malassezia) is vital for a healthy scalp. Healthy s...

THIS brand! Don't get knockoffs to save a couple of dollars. It's very important that the little bristles are a soft, flexible rubber. They need to stimulate your scalp without causing any hair breakage. I've bought no-name cheap ones off of Shein an...

Supplements

These are the supplements that I took in order to regrow my hair. I started with pretty much all of them, taking them daily or every other day. Once my bald patches grew in well for a few months, I maintained the hair using the top 3 supplements. Eve...

This is what I began taking about midway through my hair growth journey, and I still take it daily to maintain my hair.

This vitamin was vital for my personal hair growth journey! It was incredible how well it worked for my hair, but also so many other health issues I had. My doctor said my bloodwork showed only a slight deficiency in some B vitamins, but that the tes...
SFI Health Klaire Labs B Complex Plus - High Potency

Another holy grail for me personally! Klaire Labs is the older name, SFI Health is their new name. I have noticed that not all of the supplements have switched over to the new branding. Anyway, THIS made an incredible difference for me.

I tried a few brands, but didn't notice a big difference. However, I do receommen some kind of biotin supplement! I liked the gummies because I never forgot to take them (honestly I wanted the sugar). Gummies aren't the highest quality or most reliab...
