Best Shampoos For Thinning Hair in Singapore

Looking for a shampoo for thinning hair in Singapore? 

If you’ve struggled with thinning hair or hair loss, know that you’re not alone: it can be caused by anything from age to stress to dietary changes, even inflammatory conditions like PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). As hair thinning advances, the hair loses its elasticity and shine, and becomes more prone to breakage and hair fall.

To combat hair thinning, look to special formulations that nourish both the hair and the scalp: a good shampoo will hydrate the scalp and provide a healthy environment for hair to grow. Powerful stimulants like rosemary oil and special compounds for hair growth enhance circulation in the scalp: humectants like hyaluronic acid protect the hair and give it slip and shine. Most importantly, you’ll want a light formula that doesn’t weigh down your hair, especially if you have fine hair: the combination of moisture and feather-light conditioning goes a long way in making your hair look full and fluffy.

The shampoos we’ve found are formulated for all hair types from curly to straight, and target root causes of hair loss, thinning and lack of density. If you’re ready to give your hair a boost, keep reading!

To transform your hair further, why not sit down in a chair at one of Singapore’s top hair salons?

Best Shampoos For Thinning Hair in Singapore

SMIB Herbs Essential Shampoo - Anti-Ageing, Vegan and Vegan and Sulfate free

The first sign of ageing comes with hair loss, which is why most of us turn to hair loss shampoos such as those from SMiB. Taking a step further, the best-selling Korean brand has now launched an anti-ageing shampoo that contains 90% or more natural ingredients and comes with a Vegan certification. 

If you are wondering why you need an anti ageing shampoo, it’s all down to loss in collagen. Just like the skin on our face, our scalp also degenerates as we age. This ageing leads to deterioration in collagen levels – some say they drop by 1% every year starting as early as your 20s! The solution to this drop lies in refilling the collagen as it disappears, and hence the need for anti ageing hair care. 

As part of SMiB’s first scalp and hair double anti-aging clinical trial, the SMiB Natural Herbs Essential Shampoo was shown to alleviate the symptoms of hair loss and create an anti-ageing effect on the scalp and hair. It comes certified by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, and uses SMiB’s independently developed anti-ageing ingredient, SP-3 Components 30,000 PPM. 

And the results speak for themselves! SMiB’s Natural Herbs Essential Shampoo prevents hair loss and alleviates many other symptoms of hair and scalp ageing.13 clinical trials gave way to results that showcased a reduc tion in scalp oil or sebum by 54.2%, an increase in scalp moisture by 142%, an improvement in scalp soothing (redness) and hair root volume as well as scalp elasticity. 

Sensitive scalp types will be glad to know that this shampoo also reduced scalp redness by 39.88% all while increasing overall hair root volume by 44%. 

Remember, no matter the ingredients of your hair care range, these are only effective if absorbed by the scalp. The Herbs Spa Shampoo contains black beans, beer yeast and white tea which help to increase scalp absorption. 

There’s also 3 power ingredients: Panthenol for strengthening hair elasticity and improving gloss, Salicylic Acid for removing dead skin cells and dandruff and Niacinamide for strengthening the scalp barrier. 

Finally, the purity of ingredients in your hair care matters. SMiB uses Platinum Special Extraction, a patented method of extracting only three components of natural scalp care and delivering them to the scalp.

Best of all, Sulfate-free means, you can use SMiB Natural Herbs Essential Shampoo after a chemical treatment, perm or hair rebonding at a salon. Vegan, gentle on your hair and with anti-ageing properties, the Natural Herbs Essential Shampoo deserves to become a staple in your shower.

L’occitane Volume & Strength Shampoo – Shampoo For Thinning Hair Formulated With Rosemary Oil

Rosemary oil makes an appearance in L’occitane’s Volume & Strength Shampoo, one of the body care house’s specialty treatments for thinning hair. Ideal for volumising, strengthening and fluffing up hair, this shampoo is formulated without silicones and acts directly on the hair fiber for a sustained effectiveness and shine.

L’occitane is a master of herbal blends, and it shows in this formulation: the Volume & Strength Shampoo contains a cocktail of five essential oils for stronger hair.

This shampoo is refillable: you can purchase an eco-refill when you’re out, as you can with the matching Volume & Strength Conditioner.

Briogeo Destined for Density Shampoo – Bestselling Hair Loss Shampoo With Biotin

Briogeo’s bestselling Destined for Density shampoo is enriched with revitalising ingredients caffeine and biotin for renewed hair fullness. Its lightweight cleansing gel form means it won’t weigh down hair or accumulate as buildup, it’s refreshing for the scalp, and it’s a gentle yet effective cleanse.

The shampoo also contains a special energy complex of caffeine, CoQ10 and green coffee oil, which promote microcirculation in the scalp and restore vitality while delivering antioxidant protection.

Mielle Rosemary Mint Strengthening Shampoo – Anti Hair Loss Shampoo With A Cult Favourite Ingredient

Many swear by rosemary oil to treat thinning hair and promote hair growth: we’ve seen it massaged into the scalp and left on as an overnight mask, used as a pre-wash treatment, and more. More importantly, rosemary oil cannot be used straight: it has to be diluted with carrier oils like jojoba, or mixed into shampoo. Mielle’s Rosemary Mint Strengthening Shampoo adds rosemary oil straight into your hair routine without the fuss of mixing or measuring: it’s earned a cult following for being an effortless and natural way to boost your hair density.

Mielle’s Rosemary Mint Strengthening Shampoo contains both the hair-strengthening ingredient biotin and ingredients like coconut and babassu seed oil, which reinforce weakened hair and provide shine. The star ingredients of this shampoo are rosemary leaf oil and peppermint oil, which encourage hair growth and soothe the scalp, conveniently portioned in a shampoo for daily use. This shampoo has earned much praise on social media and forums: many users love its gentle cleansing properties, softly herbal scent, and ability to calm and moisturise a dry scalp, regardless of hair type.

Kérastase Densifique Bain Densité Bodifying Shampoo – Volumising Shampoo For Thinning Hair Or All Hair Types

With three key ingredients and a host of strengthening, cleansing and densifying properties, the Kérastase Densifique Bain Densité Bodifying Shampoo is a spa day for damaged, thinning, or any hair that needs a volume boost. It’s even safe on colour-treated hair, and works to instantly deliver volume, shine and bounce.

The formula of the Bodifying Shampoo contains hyaluronic acid, gluco-peptides and ceramides which work together to add moisture and elasticity. Hyaluronic acid, a popular skincare ingredient, plumps the hair like it does with the skin and prevents breakage, gluco-peptide enters the deepest levels of the cuticle to strengthen hair, while ceramides enhance protection and shine.

The shampoo also has a signature scent: top notes of bergamot and marine, middle notes of pink mint, peony and freesia, and base notes of musk and cedar form a refreshing, soothing scent that lingers after your wash for a pleasant experience. According to clinical trials conducted by Kérastase, regular use of the entire Bain Densité Bodifying range results in a 22% increase in hair volume and 6,9% thicker hair fibers over time.

Shiseido Professional Adenovital – Anti Hair Loss Shampoo With Cutting-Edge Technology

Part of Shiseido’s cutting-edge Adenovital line for thinning hair, the Adenovital Shampoo joins the Advanced Scalp Essence and Scalp Treatment in a hair loss-treating, volumising trio. Like many of Shiseido’s other research-backed haircare and skincare products, the Adenovital line draws on a proprietary blend of plant extracts, ingeniously sourced natural ingredients, and original formulas to deliver its hair-boosting magic.

The original ingredient Adenosine, used exclusively in the Adenovital line, is a biogenic ingredient created to work directly on the hair papilla, producing “growth factors” that are essential for promoting healthy hair growth. The moisturising ingredient AP Stimulator, derived from apricot, creates a healthy scalp environment for hair to grow, while AG Complex II, made from Japanese herbal powerhouse Ashitaba and superfood Lingzhi, improves scalp condition. Ononis extract, naturally derived, repairs cuticles to make hair more resistant to damage. The line is scented with Shiseido’s Energy Flow scent, described as a bright, invigorating natural fruit scent with a hint of green.

Living Proof Full Shampoo – A Simple, Effective Volumising Shampoo For Thinning Hair

Living Proof’s Full Shampoo is a simple solution for thinning hair: a volumising, “plumping” shampoo that goes a long way in moisturising and soothing the scalp. This shampoo contains no silicones: instead, the Sili-CLONE HairTech, Living Proof’s own formula, is the active volumising agent. Proven to keep hair cleaner and healthier for longer, it’s also cruelty-free, vegan, and safe for colour-treated and chemically treated hair.

Sili-CLONE HairTech mimics the five key benefits of silicone while avoiding the potential for buildup that comes with silicone, delivering all the volume and shine without weighing down fine hair. The compound uses an eco-luxe sunflower-based surfactant, giving your hair sleekness and high shine while detangling and conditioning.

Consumer use studies show that the Full Shampoo, when used regularly with the Full Conditioner, yields 2x the volume with every wash and improves hair texture and quality. Formulated without sulfates, parabens or formaldehyde, this shampoo manages to be both utilitarian and elegant: it’s got everything you need for a volume boost without the frills of luxury shampoos.

SOMEBYMI Cica Peptide Anti Hair Loss Shampoo – Calming Anti Hair Loss Shampoo With 11 Peptides

Korean skincare brand SOMEBYMI extends its scientific, ingredient-focused approach to haircare with its Cica Peptide Anti Hair Loss range. SOMEBYMI’s cica formulations, like those in its AHA BHA PHA 30 Day Miracle skincare range, are some of the most effective on the market: this Korean miracle herb is beloved as a soothing ingredient, and is present in everything from sheet masks to facial mists.

SOMEBYMI’s Cica Peptide Anti Hair Loss Shampoo contains high concentrations of centella asiatica (the scientific name for cica) and an 11-Peptide Complex, which strengthens the scalp while soothing and clearing impurities. The shampoo also contains biotin, known to protect the hair from breakage.

While the 30 Day Miracle skincare line purifies the skin to strengthen it, the Cica Peptide Anti Hair Loss Shampoo employs a similar approach to preventing thinning hair: it targets the buildup of pollutants on the scalp, treating it the way one would treat congested skin. Clinical trials show that the shampoo reduces PM-10 accumulated on the scalp by 98.47% immediately after one use, and consistent use purifies the scalp and creates a healthy hair-growing environment.

Olaplex Nº4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo – Sephora’s Favourite Strengthening Shampoo for Brittle Hair

The Olaplex brand is beloved at Sephora for its luxurious hair care products, beautiful packaging and instant results, so we had to recommend one of the favourites: the Nº4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo. Though it’s not explicitly for thinning hair, it’s been proven to work on brittle hair to reduce breakage and hair loss, both common issues with fine and thinning hair types.

This shampoo has a colour-safe, highly concentrated formula, with a rich lathering formula that gently cleanses while hydrating the hair and scalp. It’s formulated for daily use, and on any hair type from straight to curly: Olaplex recommends starting with a dime-sized amount with each use and adding if needed. With its gentle blend of coconut oil-derived surfactants, it leaves hair smoother, shinier and in better conditions for growth with every wash.

Clinical results indicate that 90% of regular users experience smoother, less tangled and better conditioned hair, and 49% experience a reduction in breakage. The Bond Maintenance Shampoo repairs and rebuilds on its own, but it’s best paired with the Bond Maintenance Conditioner for smoothness and shine.

Shop the Olaplex Nº4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo at Sephora Singapore.
