Is Your Hair Shedding More Than Usual? These Anti-Hair Loss Products Could Help

Finding a few strands of hair in the shower drain is rarely cause for alarm. Hair shedding is part of the natural growth cycle, and the average person loses somewhere between 50 and 100 hairs a day, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Some days you will notice more than others, especially on wash day or after brushing, but there is a point where shedding can start to feel less routine. A noticeably wider part, a thinner ponytail, more scalp showing through, receding around the temples, bald patches, or suddenly pulling out handfuls of hair in the shower can all signal that you are dealing with more than your usual daily shed.

And if you have moved to Dubai and found yourself wondering where half your hair went, you are far from alone. Complaints of sudden shedding and thinning after relocating to the UAE are common, with everything from stress and major lifestyle changes to nutritional deficiencies, hormonal shifts, heat, frequent washing and the effects of hard or heavily treated water often getting blamed.

In the meantime, the beauty industry has become increasingly invested in keeping the hair we have firmly attached to our heads. Scalp serums, density treatments, strengthening shampoos, and leave-in formulas now promise to tackle shedding from seemingly every angle. While no bottle can fix every cause of hair loss, the right formula can support a healthier scalp, reduce breakage and, depending on its active ingredients, help create better conditions for fuller-looking hair. Ahead, we rounded up the hair-loss and anti-shedding formulas worth adding to your bathroom cabinet.

Kérastase Genesis Anti Hair-Fall Serum for Hair and Scalp

Part of Kérastase’s Genesis range, the lightweight serum is designed specifically for weakened hair prone to falling from the root, pairing Aminexil with ginger root and edelweiss native cells to help reinforce the hair’s anchorage while supporting the scalp barrier. The gel-like formula sinks in without leaving roots greasy or weighed down, making it easy to work into an everyday routine. With consistent use, the goal is stronger, more resilient strands and noticeably less hair left behind in your brush, shower drain, and, somehow, everywhere you look. AED/SAR 270; Shop here

L’Oreal Professionel Aminexil Advanced Anti-Hair Loss Serum

This daily serum is also powered by 1.5% Aminexil, an ingredient used to help maintain the hair’s anchorage in the scalp, alongside ginger root extract. It absorbs quickly without leaving behind an oily residue, so it works particularly well for anyone who wants a scalp treatment that will not interfere with styling. Consider it a more targeted addition to your routine when excessive shedding, rather than breakage through the lengths, is the main concern. AED/SAR 241; Shop here

Vegamour Gro+ Advanced Hair Serum

Vegamour brings out the big guns with GRO+ Advanced, its souped-up serum created for more noticeable signs of thinning. Rather than simply focusing on strengthening the hair you already have, the formula is designed to improve the appearance of density, thickness, and overall scalp coverage over time. Its plant-powered blend includes microencapsulated full-spectrum hemp extract alongside phytoactives, all delivered in a lightweight serum that disappears easily into the scalp without sabotaging a good hair day. Best suited to anyone whose ponytail is feeling considerably less substantial than it used to. AED/SAR 350; Shop here

Vichy Dercos Clinical Regen Booster Hair Growth & Anti-Hair Loss

Dermatologist-approved and developed specifically for thinning hair, the treatment takes aim at both hair loss and regrowth, helping reactivate the scalp at the root and encourage stronger, denser-looking hair over time. It is particularly suited to periods when shedding feels more pronounced or your usual density has visibly changed, offering a more clinical approach than your standard strengthening serum.

Solaris Laboratories NY NEED MORE Anti Hair Loss Pre Shampoo Treatment

This one gets to work before you even turn on the shower. Solaris Laboratories NY’s NEED MORE is a pre-shampoo scalp treatment created to address shedding and thinning at the root, turning that often-skipped step before washing into part of your hair-growth routine. Applied directly to the scalp before shampooing, the treatment is designed to nourish the follicles, support healthier growth and strengthen hair against excessive shedding. It is an especially good option for anyone who cannot commit to another daily leave-in serum, since the formula slots neatly into wash day instead. AED/SAR 221; Shop here

Miriam Quivedo Extreme Caviar Special Hair Loss Shampoo

The hair loss shampoo is formulated for thinning, weakened hair, using the brand’s signature caviar extract alongside a cocktail of conditioning and scalp-supporting ingredients to help strengthen strands and improve the appearance of density. It also works to cleanse away excess oil and buildup that can leave the scalp feeling less than its best. Consider it the wash-day option for giving fragile hair some extra attention without adding another step to your routine. AED/SAR 175; Shop here

The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density

One of The Ordinary’s longtime bestsellers, this concentrated scalp serum combines peptides, caffeine and plant-based extracts to support the follicles and encourage thicker, denser and fuller-looking hair with continued use. The formula also features ingredients including red clover extract and Procapil, which are often used in hair-loss formulas for their potential role in addressing DHT-related thinning. At The Ordinary’s typically accessible price point, it is an easy entry into the increasingly crowded world of scalp serums, particularly if you want to give thinning hair some extra attention without spending triple digits.

Cécred Restoring Hair & Edge Drops

Beyoncé’s Cécred has already earned a devoted following, and its viral Restoring Hair & Edge Drops are among the products keeping BeautyTok busy. Despite the name, the treatment is not reserved for sparse edges alone. The formula can be applied wherever hair is looking thinner, using a blend of peptides and hair-fiber-supporting ingredients to help improve the appearance of density and support stronger, healthier-looking strands. Its fluid, almost watery consistency also means a little goes a surprisingly long way, so resist the temptation to flood your scalp with it. AED/SAR 209; Shop here
