Medically reviewed by Ivan Kokhno, MD — Research analysis by Alex Eriksson · Updated May 2026

Full reviews of all 24 follow, with a comparison table, ingredient guide, and a separate primer on whether DHT is actually the problem.

​Is your healthy hair thinning out? Don’t worry, the best hair thickening shampoos for men is on hand.

First things first, if you are going a bit thin up top remember you are not alone. Nearly 70% of men will suffer from Androgenic Alopecia (also known as male pattern baldness) in their lifetime.

That’s not including all the guys who might lose some of their hair from other reasons, whether that be stress, thyroid problems, hormonal deficiencies such as low testosterone levels and high estrogen levels or even from sporting that tight comb over look for way too long.

Mane matters. If you want to fix your remaining wisp of thin hair, it’s best to accept the reality and work with what you’ve got. In most cases if you have the genetics to lose your hair, you can’t expect results that bring back your hair to what it was as a teenager.

But we’re not asking you to go for the full shave as soon as you’re starting to see some thinning. You can invest in the best hair thickening products and at least improve your condition.

Is DHT Really the Enemy?

Hair loss can do plenty of damage to your self-esteem, and should be addressed as soon as the problem starts. This problem is often attributed to an imbalance of hormones, particularly the presence of too much dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the scalp – which is a metabolite of testosterone. The best shampoos for thinning hair men can help you beat hair loss once and for all.

Because of DHT, the hasty generalization most people would have would be to try to block or lower the levels of DHT in the body. However, that is not always the best solution. DHT also plays a crucial role in many male physical functions, including the libido, metabolism and mood. It also helps balance cholesterol levels and reduces fat in the body.

DHT is only part of the picture. The level of hormones in your body should not be the only factor to blame, but also how your follicles react to them. Some men are born with hair follicles that are more sensitive to androgens than normal and shrink quickly when DHT levels in the scalp increase, causing men’s hair to fall out.

That said, it’s important to deal with this underlying issue first with the help of the right hair care shampoo. We’ve reviewed some of the best shampoos for thinning hair, all of which are formulated with potent ingredients that show promising effects for hair loss in men.

The Best Hair Thickening Shampoo for Men Reviews

---

Regenepure – DR Shampoo

If the promise of cleaner, softer hair by means of botanicals and less harmful chemicals sounds good to you, the Regenepure – DR Shampoo might be worth checking out.

Touted as an premier anti DHT Shampoo, it contains Ketoconazole, an antifungal ingredient that is proven to reduce DHT and get rid of sebum buildup and unwanted toxins from the scalp.

Ketoconazole is a must for anyone that is serious about treating their hair loss. Ketoconazole is widely known to be part of the big three, which are the best proven hair loss treatments we have today, the other two are Finasteride and Minoxidil. No man should ever be using Finasteride since blocking DHT in all of the body is a really bad idea, but Minoxidil might be effective, however we recommend keeping the dosage on the lower side.

PURA D’OR Anti-Hair Loss Premium

Standard, non-organic volumizing shampoo is often loaded with all sorts of harmful and questionably safe chemicals such as parabens and sulfates.

This PURA’DOR shampoo, on the other hand, is a natural, chemical-free hair loss solution filled with essential organic extracts and other vital nutrients that are supposed to nourish follicles, reverse hair damage and regenerate hair providing new growth.

The anti-DHT formulation is a special blend of premium natural oils and special plant based ingredients such as Nettle and Biotin that are said to promote growth of healthier and thicker hair.​

Like Regenepure DR Shampoo, this product also contains Ketoconazole (0.9%), which makes it a complete product in terms of both botanical DHT blockers as well as pharmaceutical. However we think the amount of Ketoconazole is a bit less in this product, but that does not mean it is less effective. Overall this hair loss shampoo from PURA D’OR is highly recommended and one of the top hair loss products out there!

American Crew Hair Recovery and Thickening Shampoo

American Crew has packed several key ingredients such as Copper, Zinc and Vitamin B5 among others to improve the health of your hair and scalp.

Although these ingredients help a great deal in feeding the follicles and strengthening the hair shafts, this hair thicken shampoo is not completely natural: it contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate which may cause some allergic reaction particularly if your skin is sensitive.​

It’s quite possible products like this one could have an additive effect when used along with other hair loss products such as Minoxidil.

Avalon Organics Biotin B-Complex Thickening Shampoo

If you have had terrible results using heavy products that weigh down your hair, the Avalon Organics hair thickening shampoo for men might be what you’re looking for. Comprising of natural ingredients such as Jojoba Oil, Fruit Extracts, Saw Palmetto and Essential Oils, it is formulated to amp up hair density by strengthening and thickening the hair strand.

Jason Natural Restorative Biotin Shampoo

A specially formulated, all natural shampoo for fine hair that brings essential moisture and volume to thinning hair. Jason Biotin Shampoo utilizes a great combination of botanical extracts and mild hair thickening agents that helps remove sebaceous oil, dry skin buildup and other impurities off the scalp.

Ingredients such as Lavender and Ginseng prevent hair breakage, repair split ends, an anti dandruff and increase growth while restorative Biotin enriches and soothes the roots and Vitamin B5 percolates into each hair shaft to add volume.

We have tried many different products from Jason during the years and they often provide good results and a lot of value, this shampoo is no exception!

Best Hair Thickening Shampoo for men – Nexxus Diametress Volumizing Combo Pack, Rebalancing Shampoo + Restoring Conditioner

Formulated with a special blend of Ginseng, Flax Seed Oil and Panthenol, the Nexxus Diametress claims to add more volume to your mane. Although going Au Naturale is a safe bet to make sure you are not exacerbating your condition, some people might need a shampoo for thick hair that is 100% natural to deliver the best results.

For instance, the special formula in this volumize shampoo encourages stronger hair to grow in your follicles by cleaning out any blockages in them. A tip would be to combine with some revitalizing cream or rub a light leave-in conditioner to protect and thicken your hair further.

Amazology RAINFOREST Argan Oil Thickening Shampoo

Infused with natural extracts and organic oils, this volume shampoo seems to address some crucial aspects of hair loss:  diameter and density. Enriched with Keratin Protein, this best shampoo for fine thin hair keeps your scalp clean and healthy with no irritation whatsoever.

Its active ingredients keep the scalp clean, promote follicle growth, help prevent hair loss, moisturize and strengthen  while improving the thickness of the strand making it look bulkier and healthier.

TIGI Bead Head for Men Charge Up

If you like to add a bit of texture without making your hair look weighed down, here is one shampoo for thinning hair you might need to check out.

The TIGI Bead Head for Men has a special combination blend consisting of Fibre Boosters, Anti Static Levelers and Lightweight Detanglers, which work in tandem to make each thin wisp of hair become fuller and thicker, helping to cover  thinning areas. Formulated to prevent thinning and fight hair breakage, this shampoo is said to produce better results when also used with the TIGI conditioner.

Thicker Fuller Hair Revitalizing Shampoo

Looking for the best drugstore shampoo money could buy? As the name indicates, the thicker and fuller hair revitalizing shampoo is said to have just the right ingredients to revitalize your thinning hair from the inside and out, adding volume and texture.

Formulated with a one-of-its kind blend, Cell-U-Plex, this advanced thickening solution also has Caffeine that breathe new life into your scalp, strengthening the roots. Everyone should not expect a miracle however, but this thickening shampoo can moisturize and soothe the scalp well.

L’Oreal Paris Vive Pro For Men Daily Thickening

Investing in the right hair care is the best thing you could do to hang on to what hair you’ve got left. Enter the Vive Pro for Men 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner from L’Oreal Paris. It helps improve blood flow to the roots of your hair, and covers a large part of your scalp, nourishing and strengthening the hair shafts. Massaging your scalp a bit extra with this shampoo helps stimulate hair follicles, promoting hair regrowth.

Every Man Jack 2-in-1 Thickening Shampoo plus Conditioner

Here’s a shampoo that might just fit the bill if you are looking to add a little extra volume, shine and control without sacrificing the natural look of your hair. Thanks to its blend of Glycerin and Tea Tree Oil, your dry hair will be kept moisturized throughout the day. 

Free of parabens and other harmful ingredients that are commonly seen in some of the best volume shampoos on the market, this naturally derived solution has the right formula to add strength, replenish lost moisture and help prevent further loss.

This is a good product for men that want both shampoo and conditioner in one product and is ideal for travelling.

Redken Cerafill Retaliate Stimulating Shampoo

This hair thickening shampoo is one of the newer volumizing shampoo products available on the market right now. It belongs in the low-pH, low-lather class of shampoos for thinning hair, so it’s in the zone of say, Redken Clean Spice 2-in-1 Shampoo, a touch disappointing on the foam side of things.

But utilizing brand new, state of the art, unique hair ingredients such as Ceramide, SP-94 and others, Redken has come up with a special volume shampoo for advanced thinning hair that cleanses and nourishes the scalp, stops follicles from getting clogged up, strengthen hair shafts and improves texture and volume.

Use together with the Redken Cerafill Hair Diameter Thickening Treatment for best effect! The combination is one of the best solutions for increasing volume available on the market today.

Foligen

Looking for a naturally formulated adjunct product to your shampoo, that effectively treats hair loss? Foligen is the ideal supplement for your problem. Foligen is made from 100% natural ingredients and extracts which have been clinically proven for their effectiveness.

It is enriched with Biotin, a water-soluble vitamin that plays a major part in maintaining the health of your hair and skin. Its active natural ingredients aid to repair, strengthen and to stimulate the growth of your hair.

The ingredients inside Foligen does not only help to improve the health of your hair, they also help to improve the health of your nails and skin.

Foligen is trusted and used by thousands of customers worldwide. There are no known harmful side effects of taking it.

​Ultrax Labs Hair Surge Caffeine Hair Loss Hair Growth Stimulating Shampoo

This thinning hair shampoo from Ultrax Labs features a proprietary formula that uses Caffeine, which has promising effects on hair growth. It also contains 0.2% Ketoconazole, which is an anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory ingredient, as well as Saw Palmetto, which blocks the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase that is responsible for converting testosterone into DHT.

The combination of these three ingredients provides a powerful formulation that addresses the root causes of male pattern baldness – weak follicles, inflammation and high concentration of DHT in the scalp.

Most users note less shedding and breakage of their hair in a matter of weeks. It has also been noted for having a nice, cooling and tingling effect that is still present after rinsing.

​ Lipogaine Big 3 Premium Hair Loss Prevention shampoo for Men and Women (2 in 1 formula)

Lipogaine Big 3 shampoo for thinning hair combines both organic and scientifically proven ingredients to combat hair loss for men and women. Unlike many shampoos in the market that contain a barrage of ingredients, this one only has three: Ketoconazole, Biotin and Emu oil.

Ketoconazole has been the focus of many studies and has been found to be a promising ingredient for hair loss. It can, however, have drying effects on the hair – hence the presence of Emu oil and Biotin to nourish the hair and scalp and prevent inflammation.

Many note its mild and pleasant consistency and feel – it’s not greasy, lathers on pretty well and washes out easily. It has a great scent, and this is something you will like if you’re a fan of fresh, minty smelling shampoos. Some users noted some uncertainty as to whether the product was working or not, but the ingredients looks great.

It should be noted that thin hair fall can be caused by a number of reasons, and Lipogaine is formulated to work on hair loss caused by fungal infection, inflammation and nutritional deficiency in the scalp. If your hair loss is caused by other factors, then the product might not be as useful for your hair.

​DS Labs Revita Shampoo

This hair regrowth shampoo by DS Labs makes it to the list of best thickening shampoo products for two reasons. First, it works by reducing DHT levels in the scalp. Then, it stimulates growth of healthier and thicker healthy hair with its antioxidant and amino acid content to improve the quality of new hair.

It features the ingredient Procyanidin B2 that have been found to support hair growth. It also contains Caffeine and Copper Peptides, which are hair growth stimulants, as well as Emu Oil for nourishing and conditioning purposes.

For best results, it is recommended that you use this shampoo to grow fine hair twice when showering. Users have noted, however, that it dries out the hair, so you may need to use a high quality hair care conditioner as follow up after using the product.

​Nioxin System 4 Cleanser & Scalp Therapy for Fine Treated Hair Duo Set

Nioxin is known for its line of hair growth shampoo and conditioner sets. This duo features the Nioxin shampoo and scalp therapy. Formulated for chemically treated and noticeably thinning hair, it promises to add thickness and strength and protect the scalp for further damage.

This product makes it to our list of best shampoo for thin hair because it incorporates several patented technologies that cannot be found in other products. BioAMP, which are amino acids that thicken and strengthen hair follicles; and Glyco-Color Shield to protect the scalp and retain hair natural color.
