Hair Growth Shampoo & Conditioner

There are plenty of reasons for hair loss and while many of them are unavoidable, the good news is that it’s largely treatable.

In general, most cases of hair loss are related to genetics, a medical condition, certain medications and stress. Hims takes these factors into consideration when formulating a personalised prescription hair loss treatment for you.

If you’re not ready for a clinical treatment plan, our Hair Growth Shampoo & Conditioner is a great place to start. For more information, check out our guide to hair loss.

Saw palmetto, an extract of berries from a palm tree, can help improve baldness and hair thinning thanks to the high percentage of fatty acids and sterols. These are thought to decrease dihydrotestosterone (DHT) uptake by your hair follicles and decrease the binding of DHT to androgenetic receptors, which can help prevent hair loss ^[1]. A 2020 review of various studies on oral and topical saw palmetto treatments for hair loss found a 60% improvement in hair quality, a 27% improvement in hair count, more hair density in over 83% of participants and a slowing down of hair loss in just over half of participants^[2].

Biotin is an essential nutrient that is part of the B-group family, also known as B7 or vitamin H. A lack of biotin can lead to thinning hair and in some cases, hair loss. Without sufficient levels of biotin, your hair health can deteriorate and lead to brittle hair that is prone to breakage. Biotin is often recommended as a dietary supplement for strengthening hair and nails and to promote optimum skin health. If you want healthy hair, biotin is the way to do it — that’s why we included it in our hair care products.
