Prime Day sales are the ideal time to try new beauty products without the guilt of a big hit to your wallet. And, if you are facing a specific beauty issue like loss of hair (like 40 million men and 20 million women in the US), this is your opportunity to check out trusted, tried-and-true solutions at a fraction of your normal costs. I’m 51 years old and I’ve had hair loss since I was 40. The trick I’ve discovered for keeping my hair healthy and full is a combination of treating the root cause (no pun intended!) with serums, oils, and regular scalp massage and managing the appearance of the hair I have left with a high-quality styling product. (like the best dry shampoos). Here are some of my favorite items for fine, thinning hair — all currently on sale on Amazon ahead of Prime Day.

File this $4 shampoo brush under: things you don’t think you need until you try them. One of the best and first steps you can take if you want to stimulate hair growth is regular scalp massages. These brushes make it easy – just apply your shampoo or hair oil and go to town in circular motions for a minute or two. Not only will you help unclog your scalp pores and improve circulation, but it will also feel good.

It sounds silly, but it’s actually true: topically applied rosemary oil has been clinically proven to initiate new hair growth and help prevent future hair loss. In truth, a 2015 study suggests that rosemary essential oil is as – if not more – effective as minoxidil in growing new hair in rats. This is an excellent rosemary oil if you want to try it: Majestic Pure’s formula is ethically sourced, cruelty-free, highly concentrated, and right now it’s almost 35% off.

The problem with fine, fine hair is that it’s hard to find moisturizing and anti-frizz products that don’t make your strands look limp. Enter OGX’s Lightweight Dry Oil Spray that magically smoothes flyaways, repairs split ends, and eliminates that messy summer hair look without feeling greasy or weighed down.
Amazon
This top-rated foam – or in old-school parlance, mousse – It’s airy and ultra-lightweight while enhancing texture, volume and body. It’s especially good for wavy or curly manes, but it will add much-needed root volume to just about any hairstyle.
Amazon
I know, I know – it’s not cheap, but this is hands down the best leave-in conditioner I’ve ever used for fine or thinning hair – it’s lightweight but still ultra-hydrating, smells like the most expensive hotel in Italy, and with 34 ounces, the bottle bag itself is huge, which means it will last forever (I’ve had mine for 6 months!).
