Lipogaine Big 5 All-Natural Shampoo is the #1 rated hair growth shampoo for thinning hair. Lipogaine doesn’t have quite as many active ingredients in it compared to Revita shampoo, and it’s missing the key ingredient Ketoconazole for hair loss.

With this being said, it smells better than Revita and overall does a better job thickening hair that’s on the thinner side. The bottle is also a bit bigger than Revita’s, so you get a bigger bang for your buck.

We recommend Lipogaine if you’re looking to fight thinning hair. Read full review.

Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo C1 comes out on top in terms of the best budget hair loss shampoo. Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo contains some of the key ingredients for hair loss such as Caffeine and Castor Oil.

Unfortunately Alepcin Caffeine Shampoo is missing Ketoconazole, Biotin, and a few other active ingredients that promote hair growth.

For the price, Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo does a solid job. If you can afford a shampoo with more active ingredients, that would be more ideal over this one.

Viviscal Gorgeous Growth Densifying Shampoo is another hair growth shampoo on the budget side. What Viviscal does well with is helping those with thinning hair. However, it’s missing many of the active ingredients used to treat hair loss itself.

For the price, Viviscal is a solid shampoo in terms of thickening hair. It’s comparable to the Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo except it uses different primary ingredients. Those are Biotin, Keratin and Zinc.

Viviscal Gorgeous Growth Densifying Shampoo is good for those who haven’t found success with other budget shampoos such as Alpecin. Read full review.

PURA D’OR Gold Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo is one of the more popular hair loss shampoo products on Amazon with nearly 20,000 reviews. PURA D’OR is in the same price range as the Revita Shampoo, and also has nearly as many active ingredients (PURA contains 24 active ingredients).

Why PURA D’OR Gold Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo is so much lower on the list is that it’s missing the crucial hair loss ingredient Ketoconazole. Given that it’s around the same price, has the same active ingredients minus that one, we thought spot #5 made the most sense.

PURA D’OR Gold Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo is perfect for folk with adverse reactions to Ketoconazole. Read full review.

Pure Biology Hair Growth Stimulating Shampoo with Biotin is another popular hair growth shampoo on Amazon. Similar to PURA D’OR Gold, Pure Biology is missing Ketoconazole.

On top of that, Pure Biology doesn’t have nearly as many active ingredients as either Revita or PURA D’OR. With that being said, it’s priced a little bit cheaper, and you do get a bigger bottle of shampoo.

Pure Biology is pretty good for the price and the bottle size you get from it, but you’re not going to be fighting hair loss as well with it.

Honeydew Biotin Shampoo is another budget option, lacking many of the active key ingredients for better hair growth.

What Honeydew Biotin Shampoo does well with is that it contains a handful of ingredients, which you don’t normally see in budget shampoos. These include biotin, argan, jojoba oil, rosemary oil, zinc, and tea tree oil. Similar to many other hair loss shampoos we’ve seen on this list, it’s missing Ketoconazole.

All in all, it’s a pretty good deal for the price, but don’t expect miracles from it. Read full review.

Avalon Organics Biotin B-Complex Thickening Shampoo comes in 4th in terms of budget hair loss shampoos. You get a lot of shampoo for the price, but not quite as many active ingredients that helps fight hair loss compared to some of the higher priced premium options.

Avalon Organics contains Biotin, Saw Palmetto, Quinoa Protein, and Vitamin E. It’s missing some active ingredients such as Ketoconzole and Caffeine.

For the price, it’s a solid option and definitely worth trying if other cheaper hair growth shampoos haven’t worked well for you. Read full review.

Keranique Scalp Stimulating Shampoo is designed for women looking for hair growth. The price is definitely in the medium range – but the active ingredients in it are lacking.

Keranique Scalp Stimulating Shampoo contains Peppermint Oil, Menthol, Keratin, Biotin, and Nicinamide as active ingredients to fight hair loss. For the price range it’s lacking some of the core ingredients we look for in hair loss shampoos.

What Keranique Scalp Stimulating Shampoo does a better job with than other hair loss shampoos is that it actually smells pretty great. If you are worried about having great smelling hair, and less worried about the hair loss, this is a solid option. Read full review.

Kérastase Spécifique Bain Prévention is not a hair loss shampoo in the sense that it fights hair loss, but it does market itself as a hair thickening shampoo.

Looking at the active ingredients, it’s hard to say what actually works towards thickening hair.

There are much better hair loss shampoos on the market than Kérastase Spécifique Bain Prévention, and for much better prices as well. The only thing this shampoo has going for it is that it smells fantastic, but you can find much cheaper shampoos if that’s all you’re after. Read full review.

Aveda Invati Advanced Exfoliating Shampoo Rich is probably the most expensive hair loss shampoo on this list, especially when you measure it by Price / oz. It does have a good amount of active ingredients to help thicken hair and fight hair loss.

The active ingredient list includes Trumeric Root Extract, Amla, Caffeine, Ginseng, and Creatine.

With that being said, it’s hard to justify this hair loss shampoo at its current price point. It smells incredible, and it has a handful of key ingredients, there’s just much better options out there.

Shiseido Professional The Hair Care Adenovital Shampoo is an interesting gamble. They claim to be based on state-of-the-art bioscience but the active ingredient they use are pretty unique and we haven’t seen a lot of data behind them in terms of hair growth.

The ingredients include Adenosine, AP Stimulator, Onions Extract, and AG Complex II.

The pricing is on the higher side, especially when you’re comparing it to shampoos with well over 20 active ingredients. With that said, it could be worth experimenting with if other high-end products fail to help.

Rene Furterer Triphasic Shampoo is another one we wanted to include on this list because it’s rather popular. In terms of how well it works as a hair growth shampoo, it’s probably not the best.

There are only 4 active ingredients they use, which are Orange Essential Oil,
Natural Pfaffia extract, Lavender Essential Oil, and Rosemary Essential Oil.

Most of those ingredients are pretty common, and you can order them and add them to your shampoo for a much lower price. The only reason I could see someone purchasing this shampoo over another is because they happened to love how it smelled.

Sebamed Anti-Hairloss Shampoo has gained popularity lately but we’re not entirely sure why. It’s priced just above the budget hair loss product price point, but it doesn’t include a lot of active ingredients (and I’m just not a fan of the bottle itself, to be honest).

It contains an NHE complex, derived from B3. Along with Caffeine, and Gingko Tree Extract.

For the price point, this is another shampoo I wouldn’t bother with unless you loved the scent.

KLORANE Shampoo with Quinine and B Vitamins is another one we had to include on the list due to its popularity. It currently has about 2,000 reviews on Amazon.

KLORANE Shampoo contains Quinine Bark Extract, along with Vitamin B5, B6, and B8. They claim that they ran a study in which 84% of people who tried it thought their hair was stronger and healthier afterwards.

There are other hair loss shampoos that include these ingredients, along with many others, but it is priced a bit lower – so it could be a reasonable budget shampoo.

Plantur 39 Phyto Caffeine Shampoo is an interesting hair thickening shampoo as it is mainly targeted towards women older than 40, or who have hit menopause. It is in the middle in terms of the price range.

The key ingredients Plantur 39 Phyto Caffeine Shampoo uses are: Caffeine, Wheat Protein, Castor Oil, and White Tea Extract.

Given its modest price point, and how well it smells, this is a pretty solid hair thickening shampoo. Read full review.

ACTIIV Recover Thickening Cleansing Hair Loss Shampoo is… extremely expensive. The bottle size is one of the smallest on this list, and it comes out to one of the most expensive bottles. So is the price worth it?

They have great before and afters, but looking at the ingredient list doesn’t show any active ingredients that seem to help with hair growth. For the price tag, it’s not worth experimenting with and there are much better options out there. Read our Actiiv Thickening Shampoo review.

Another extremely popular hair loss shampoo option is the Nioxin Full-Size System Kits 2, 4, & 6, 3-Pc Hair Loss Shampoo, Conditioner & Scalp Treatment. With over 10,000 reviews on Amazon, it’s certainly worth taking a look at.

Looking at the active ingredients, there are a ton on there that would support thicker hair. For the price, this is an overall fantastic deal in terms of helping thicken your hair – but it won’t help with hair loss. If you are looking for a hair loss solution, Revita Shampoo is a better bet for the money. Read full review.
