As a dermatologist, here are my best recommendations for shoppers looking for the best hair products to prevent hair loss;

Serums

Hair serums give the hair a healthier, glossier, and shinier look. The products are easily absorbed in the hair to form a protective layer against damage by UV rays and prevent hair breakage and splitting, increasing hair loss. Invest in serums such as lavender oil, argan oil, almond oil, avocado oil, and those containing keratin ingredients to boost hair health and reduce hair loss.

Protein Treatments

Hair loss can be due to decreased protein or keratin levels in the hair and body. Getting protein treatments as you wash the hair can stimulate the formation of more keratin, speeding up healthy hair growth. Try hair masks, leave-in, or deep conditioners to reverse insufficient hair keratin.
