Hi @MrsKitty91 I would reccomend speaking to your doctor or dermatologist about this. They can prescribe a stronger version of the OTC Minoxidil available, which will work.

Hi @ksinz This will cause some damage regardless of the heat protectants. It’s the tension you need to apply to the hair combined with the heat that causes the hair to snap - not just the heat. You can start by using a strengthening shampoo, conditioner amika The Kure Bond Repair Shampoo for Damaged Hair amika The Kure Intense Bond Repair Hair Mask then apply a good anti frizz leave in Davines Mini OI All In One Hair Milk for Softness and Shine 1.69 oz / 50 ml then a relaxing balm Davines This Is A Relaxing Moisturizing Fluid 4.22 oz / 125 ml then a heat protector amika The Shield Anti-Humidity Spray 5.3 oz / 157 ml and make sure you have a brush with good tension.

@Lulu979 Welcome to the BIC. Thinning yes could be from stress, but oil production is not. Here is a shampoo/conditioner that will help with both. Nioxin shampoo/conditioner No.1 (if not colour treated) No.3 if colour treated. I think Sephora US sells it, if not Ulta does.

@TeddyHM I would probably do the shampoo and serum. You would still need to add a conditioner, but you can add one that’s less expensive.

Definitely won’t be getting that then, thanks for the warning ⚠️

Not knowing your hair type makes answering this question a but harder but I will tell you what I like for my thin, straight hair. My absolute favorites are Briogeo Destined For Density™ Peptide Shampoo for Thicker, Fuller Hair 8 oz / 236 mL and Briogeo Destined For Density™ Peptide Conditioner for Thicker, Fuller Hair 8 oz / 236 mL . I also use a clarifying shampoo once or twice a month to get the buildup out. The one I use isn't available any more so I will be shopping around for a new one. I also use Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-exfoliating Scalp Scrub Shampoo 12 oz / 354 ml once a month to keep my scalp healthy. This isn't a problem for me but more as a preventative.

@jenny32 You can use Olaplex daily, I wouldn’t use No.0 and No.3 daily as they aren’t needed daily. The others are perfectly fine.

@MissSmilesxo @The store beauty advisor has to use their device to do it.
