Losing hair can feel like a life-altering event. Many people who start to lose their hair seek out hair loss treatments that are easy to obtain and affordable. There are numerous products out there that claim to treat hair loss, or thicken thin or fine hair, making the hair appear thicker and more luxurious. Here are some of the most popular brands of hair growth shampoo and conditioner along with user likes and dislikes.

A hair loss cleaner that is extremely popular is Nioxin cleanser, a daily volumizing cleanser that removes residue and DHT to keep the scalp as healthy as possible while adding amino acids, proteins, and vitamins. Happy users say that long term use is the key, and that they believe that it genuinely slows hair loss. Dissatisfied users complain of flaking and increased hair loss. Nioxin counters complaints of flaking and increased hair loss by saying that at first, unhealthy scalp cells are sloughed off, and with it, some excess hair. But they say that this is part of the process of shedding hair that would fall out anyway, and as the scalp becomes healthier, hair thickens noticeably.

Nano shampoo was developed by a Dr. Peter H. Proctor of Houston, Texas and contains ingredients (NANO and SOD, or 3-carboxylic acids pyridine n-oxide) that Proctor claims works as well as minoxidil with greater safety. Nano shampoo is said to calm an irritated scalp and leave scalp and hair feeling renewed. Users who use heat-powered styling tools say that it leaves hair silky and in great condition.

Grow! is a brand of shampoo and conditioner, and like all hair loss product reviews, this one is mixed, but mostly positive. The shampoo and conditioner are enriched with botanicals and amino acids and claim to help accelerate hair growth by up to 37% when used along with the company's hair growth dietary supplements. People with damaged or breaking hair are pleased with the reduction in breakage. People with normal hair have reported no bad effects, but no great improvement. It seems to work best in people with damaged, or breaking hair.
Progaine Volumizing Shampoo claims to gently clean fine or thin hair for improved body. It is made by the company that makes Rogaine to maximize the thickness of existing hair and hair that has grown as the result of using minoxidil. People with thin hair like this shampoo a lot. It doesn't stop hair from falling out, but does not claim to. Users who try it hoping it will stop hair loss have expressed disappointment.

Finding a hair loss shampoo or shampoo and conditioner system for thinning or fine hair is easy. But none of them pleases everyone. Because everyone's hair and scalp are different, what works great for one person may not work well for another. A certain amount of trial and error should be expected.
