The Best New Products in Hair Growth

Peptides are a hot topic in the beauty world, and these gummies are packed with one called the Intermediate Filament Peptide that, once broken down into the blood stream, travels to follicles to stimulate and fortify strands by enhancing nutrient absorption. And these are no Flinstones chewies – clinical trials show them to increase hair growth by 12,000 new strands as well as 46% reduction in hair loss.

This supplement has a cult following, with Gwyneth Paltrow and Julia Roberts among its loyal subscribers (no wonder it’s often sold out). Paired with a root replenishing serum, the duo does everything from balance the scalp pH to support hormone levels and combat stress. Not to mention its ingredient list is backed by more than 20 clinical studies (plus, the packaging is pretty!).

This hair treatment is jammed with power house ingredients; pea peptides, amino acids, collagen, anti-oxidants, adaptogens, and minerals (can we get it in the form of a morning beverage, too?). And while it may sound like a lot, the alchemy works to improve hair density, thicken strands, and heal unhealthy scalps when used consistently. Apply it to the scalp every night (no, it won’t weigh down hair), and gently massage with fingertips or the power tool for maximum absorption.

By now the message is pretty clear: a healthy scalp is the key to healthy hair. This pre-shampoo treatment from a fabled french brand, is packed with essential oils that purify, stimulate, and rejuvenate the scalp to create a healthy environment for new growth. Plus, it’s blended with botanicals like borage, rosehip and apricot kernel - all rich in omegas and antioxidants to nourish, nourish, nourish.

Scalp serums are all the rage right now, but finding one that actually tackles the root cause can take some work. This company – beloved by wellness insiders for its proprietary peptide complex in its equally-as-effective skincare products – targets any underlying issues by reducing scalp inflammation to create healthier roots. And, as a science forward brand, it’s clinically shown to improve barrier function and support thicker hair in just twelve weeks.

The first product from this stunning new brand is a bentonite clay hair mask that does a myriad of things: essential minerals strengthen and improve hair elasticity while rosemary and cedarwood oils promote growth. But this is not just for the scalp – smooth it on hair for more hydrated, softer strands – it will even remove the dreaded brassiness that can be caused by oxidated hair color.

This Danish brand made a splash in the US when it became the industry insider’s choice for tackling hair recession and shedding. The system – which includes shampoo, conditioner and a nightly scalp serum – has now added an ashwaganda and palmetto packed supplement to complete the regimen. Targeting stress, gut health, and skin barrier, the vitamin is really for anyone looking to improve overall hair health. One fan? Celeb aesthetician Joanna Czech, who now offers the full product range at her nationwide clinics.

This lightweight, non-greasy scalp serum uses amaranth peptides to increase hair density, and a density boosting technology to reduce shedding in ninety days. But what we’re most excited about? Its ability to minimize the appearance of grey hair by using a blend of antioxidants and amino acids.

This Barcelona based brand is beloved for its luxury-meets-science philosophy and uses its own lab to build effective products that are also elevated. The two step treatment prevents and reverses hair loss by first exfoliating the scalp to eliminate toxins and impurities, and then to deliver hair growth factors to follicles to boost growth and strengthen strands. We love the company’s commitment to clinical trials that reveal hair density to increase by 18% and thickness by 16% (both way above average). Bonus: formulas are weightless so you can layer products without worrying about getting your locks greasy.
