The concept of scalp care has come a long way since the days when Selsun Blue and Head & Shoulders were your only options. Popular skincare brands like The Ordinary and Dr. Barbara Sturm and haircare favorites like Verb and Act + Acre have launched scalp treatments in recent months. On top of that, new brands like Jupiter have launched full collections of grooming products with a strong focus on scalp care. Bottom line: Now is a good time to take care of your scalp.

Among the many new offerings on the market are products that specifically target hair loss or thinning hair. Many scalp care products offer a similar overall promise: a clarified, healthy, and exfoliated scalp will help promote healthier, stronger hair. To achieve this, many of these products use nourishing vitamins and familiar ingredients like aloe vera. Additionally, serums or sprays specifically designed to prevent hair loss often contain ingredients like minoxidil (the active ingredient in Rogaine that stimulates new hair growth) or biotin, which thickens the strands of hair you already have.

Adding a scalp care component to your hair care routine may seem like a tedious step, but many of the new products are easy to use or can only be used once a week to see results. And unlike the days of Selsun Blue, the new generation of scalp treatment products come with sleek packaging and inviting scents that won’t look out of place among other modern grooming essentials. Read on to discover our best scalp care products to help with hair growth.
