The 5 Best Peptide Products to Help Boost Hair Growth
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Unless you're genetically blessed with thick, flowing locks, many of us wish for a little (or a lot) more hair. You may have naturally thin hair or have experienced some uncharacteristic hair loss lately. Chances are, you're probably on the hunt for alternative ways to make your hair grow faster and thicker—and you're not alone. I deal with hair loss occasionally, especially when I'm stressed out and trying to grow out my very short bob. Thankfully, there are plenty of tips and tricks for us thin- and short-haired folks, including one of my best-kept secrets: peptide products for hair growth. Peptide lip treatments and peptide serums have gotten a lot of good press lately, but the star ingredient can also work wonders on hair. 'Peptides encourage hair growth by improving blood flow to the scalp and strengthening the structure of hair follicles,' shares Dr. Candace Thornton Spann, a board-certified dermatologist in Las Vegas and the co-owner of Couture Dermatology & Plastic Surgery. 'They can also result in the formulation of more collagen, a building block that's vital to the health of the hair follicle,' she adds. Peptide hair serums are very beneficial to those on a hair growth journey, and there are plenty of hair growth shampoos, hair growth vitamins, and other treatments with peptides to explore. After speaking with Dr. Spann and other editors, scrolling through hundreds of customer reviews, and trying a few myself, I landed on the five best peptide products for hair growth—check them out below. This watery serum is meant to be applied and left on your scalp to work its magic. Thanks to peptides, caffeine, and various plant-based extracts, it not only densifies and thickens your hair but also helps your mane appear more voluminous overall. Key ingredients: Peptides, caffeine, Redensyl, Procapil, Baicapil Size: 1 oz. Ulta rating: 4.1/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'I don't remember how I discovered this product, but I'm forever grateful I did. During the first two years of the pandemic, I applied the formula religiously every night, and I credit it for nursing my scalp and hair back to health after shocking and noticeable hair loss. I was amazed by the volume it provided (especially when I apply it while my hair is still damp from a shower) and how many baby hairs sprouted all over my head in the few weeks after I started using it.' —Carol Lee, associate beauty e-commerce writer Hair care starts in the shower, and you can set your strands up for success by utilizing this shampoo and conditioner to cleanse and revitalize your hair and scalp. Rosemary oil is known for encouraging blood circulation in the scalp (which encourages healthy hair growth), and the addition of peptides and plant proteins translates to stronger, less breakage-prone locks. Key ingredients: Rosemary oil, peptides, ceramides, proteins Size: 8.4 fl. oz. x2 Necessaire rating: 4.5/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'First of all, the scent of this duo is incredible—if you like rosemary, treating yourself to this is a must. I've gotten multiple compliments on how good my hair smells when I use this, and it's currently in my rotation of shower products. Additionally, I've been applying a lot of heat to my hair these days, and my hair has maintained its strength and health—I don't doubt that using these products has something to do with it.' —Carol Lee Nutrafol is one of those hair growth supplements that actually work. 'I used to get highlights, and my hair incurred a ton of damage. It got to the point where I didn't feel like my hair could grow any longer than my shoulders. I tried Nutrafol supplements as a sort of last-ditch effort, and I couldn't believe how quickly my hair started growing—and how healthy it looked,' says ELLE beauty editor Katie Berohn. This set also includes the brand's collagen powder, which features marine collagen peptides to provide hydration and other materials for strong, healthy hair. Key ingredients: Marine collagen peptides, saw palmetto, tocotrienol complex, ashwagandha Size: 120 capsules and 12.03 oz. of powder Amazon rating: 4.4/5 stars An Amazon reviewer says: 'This product really works! My hairdresser (without knowing I was taking anything) commented that my hair was growing and filling out more. I was thrilled!' K18's hair oil features the brand's signature peptide, an ingredient that strengthens strands and makes them appear smoother. By preventing and repairing damage, the silicone-free oil allows your hair to grow without breaking off before it can reach your desired length. Key ingredients: Peptides, hemisqualane, squalane, avocado oil Size: 1 fl. oz. An Amazon reviewer says: 'This stuff has helped my damaged, broken off hair so much. My hair was ruined with bleach, and this has been such a game changer in my hair journey. While it doesn't help with growth, it helps repair the damaged hair. 10/10. Will purchase again!' You may already drink caffeine to wake you up in the morning, but when applied topically, the ingredient can also wake the scalp and make your hair feel and appear denser. Other starring ingredients include peptides to promote the health of hair follicles and grape stem cells to thicken hair. Key ingredients: Grape stem cells, peptides, caffeine Size: 3 oz. Act + Acre rating: 4.8/5 stars An Act + Acre reviewer says: 'I tried this after seeing this on social media and reading the reviews. I have fine hair and breakage in one section. This has helped with the breakage and gives my hair volume at the scalp. As a bonus, I don't have frizz or flyaways on the small hairs around my hairline.' Dr. Candace Thornton Spann is a board-certified dermatologist in Las Vegas, the co-owner of Couture Dermatology & Plastic Surgery, and the founder of ReTress. The best way to go about treating hair loss is to figure out the root of the problem. 'It is important to identify and address what's leading to hair loss. For example, vitamin deficiencies can cause hair loss. Treating vitamin deficiency can encourage hair growth,' Dr. Spann says. She also recommends scalp oiling and scalp massage to promote hair growth. According to Dr. Spann, it all depends on what kind of hair loss you're dealing with. 'Something like alopecia areata, a non-scarring, autoimmune type of hair loss, can be completely reversed. Female pattern hair loss can be reversed if the follicles are treated early before follicles become scarred,' she says. However, follicles that are already scarred are unable to recover.

For this piece, beauty writer Carol Lee spoke to a dermatologist, tested formulas, and combed through customer reviews to find the best peptide products for hair growth.

This celebrity-created hair serum helped my 15-year battle with Trichotillomania
SHOPPING – Contains affiliated content. Products featured in this Metro article are selected by our shopping writers. If you make a purchase using links on this page, will earn an affiliate commission. Click here for more information. Earlier this year, after a visit to the talented Trichologist Hannah Gaboardi, I was told my hair pulling habits were a trait of Trichotillomania. While my case isn't severe, over time this could have a serious impact on my hair growth and scalp health. This 'anxious tick', as some told me I had, was a self soothing mechanism when I felt nervous, stressed, or was bored. I would seek out split ends, pull them like a thread to see the frayed ends ladder, or pull out the entire hair strand. I was told it annoyed people watching me pull out strands, or leave a trail of hair in my wake. I was even told by former colleagues it looked like I had a receding hairline because I was pulling at my fringe so frequently in the office. I have tried fidget spinners, ditched coffee, had hypnotherapy, among other stress management techniques to quit the habit, but no avail. I have tried countless hair growth supplements, collagen sachets, serums and shampoos to stimulate hair growth, to undo the damage. So far, only one haircare product has proved to be my saving grace: TypeBea's G1 Overnight Boosting Peptide serum. BUY NOW FOR £34.40 (WAS £43) Trichotillomania is damaging because tugging at each strand can cause the hair follicle and scalp to become inflamed. Pulling out the hair also impacts the hair growth cycle, can cause scarring and result in the hair follicle closing altogether. Although my hair wasn't at this stage, the hair expert noticed some inflamed areas around the sides of my head, and she warned if I continued this habit I would, in time, be facing more serious irreparable damage later on. After this wake-up call I set to work finding an effective solution, and the launch of TypeBea was perfectly timed. TYPEBEA launched in the UK earlier this year, and is the brainchild of Vida Glow founder Anna Lahey and Rita Ora – an interesting partnership, but the backing of Anna intrigued me. The G1 serum – otherwise known as the Overnight Boosting Peptide Serum – is part of the brand's six-piece collection. It is a lightweight formula that is non-stick or greasy, but aims to stimulate hair growth no matter your hair type. Infused with Baicapil and nourishing peptides, this leave-in treatment works to penetrate the scalp, promote healthy hair growth, increase the hair thickness and prevent hair loss. The G1 serum is free from parabens, silicone, and sulphate for a gentle haircare solution. TYPEBEA has claimed it can prevent hair loss by up to 60%, which are impressive claims. While I would typically swat such bold statements away, I have witnessed first-hand how fast-acting this product is, as I noticed visible results rapidly. Admittedly, I was dubious about yet another hair growth serum at first, but within one month of using the serum, I noticed fine baby hairs growing along my hairline. I applied a few drops of the pH-balancing liquid formula along my hairline, as well as the areas I tend to pick at, massaged into my scalp and let it sit overnight. There really isn't much to it, which is why I was so surprised to see new hair sprouting up so quickly. This serum doesn't need to be washed out, and it doesn't even need to be applied on clean hair, or wet locks, which is unlike other hair growth treatments I have tried, and makes it super easy to use. It is suitable for all hair textures, types and lengths, as well as on coloured and treated hair too. More Trending I thought the first few months were a fluke, and put those new tufts down to just standard hair growth. Fast-forward a few months and the hair growth has amazed me. I've even visited a separate expert Trichologist at Phillip Kingsley who told me my hair density is now 'phenomenal', as my parting is full. This was the reassurance I needed, as it is a sign my hair, and scalp, have not suffered irreparable damage despite decades of hair pulling. By no means am I saying this is a cure for hair conditions, such as alopecia, and I am aware there are other factors involved in hair loss, such as diet, environment, and genetics. But, in my experience, TYPEBEA's serum has worked wonders and I will continue to use until the end of time. Ever the bargain hunter, I have found the G1 Serum in stock and on sale for £34.40 down from £43 at Debenhams. Though TYPEBEA's G1 Overnight Serum comes with a heftier price tag compared to rival brands, it's worth every penny in my books, so shop fast if you want healthy and fuller tresses.

The 'miracle' hair growth serum that 'works like magic' and costs under £18
If you want to achieve longer, thicker hair, then this hair growth serum is worth trying out. Looking to get longer, healthier hair? Then you'll most likely be considering adding a growth serum into your haircare routine. If you don't want to browse all the bottles on the market, then one said to "work like magic" is the Bare Anatomy Advanced Hair Growth Serum (30ml) that can be bought for just £17.99 on Amazon. To help stimulate new hair growth, the serum uses a clinical blend of hair growth actives such as Redensyl, Anagain, Baicapil and Capilia Longa. This "unique" formula is said to extend your hair's anagen phase (the growing phase.) It also combines three powerful hair growth ingredients such as biotin, rosemary oil and rice water, all which work together to strengthen weak hair, prevent breakage and reduce dryness. Designed to be "lightweight" and "non greasy" on your hair, this particular serum is said to be ideal for anyone who struggles with and wants to target thinning hair, hair breakage, bald patches and a wide middle parting. According to the Bare Anatomy brand, its hair growth serum has led to an 89 percent in hair loss reduction, while hair growth is said to increase by 214 percent in just 10 days. Meanwhile, 97 percent of users are said to have noticed an increase in their hair density in as little as 45 days. And it's said to live up to its promises, as the Bare Anatomy Advanced Hair Growth Serum has earned an impressive 4.2 rating based on 1,945 Amazon reviews that say it is "the best" on the market and provides a "noticeable difference" in hair growth and health. One beauty fan praised: "This is indeed the best hair growth serum I've used so far. Works like magic. My hair fall has surely reduced. It is non greasy. It's an affordable serum as compared with others. True value for money product. Definitely go for it! Thank you for such an amazing product." Beauty deal of the week An electric toothbrush can completely overhaul your cleaning routine - but they can often be pricey. If you're looking to buy one, then don't worry about breaking the bank, as we have spotted one deal you'll want to know about. It's on the Oral-B Genius X Rose Gold Electric Toothbrush that is now hundreds of pounds cheaper at Boots. The health and beauty firm has reduced the cost of this "game changing" toothbrush, which has been designed by Braun, from £300 to just £64.99 - saving a staggering £235.01 off the overall RRP. Designed to make your cleaning routine "easier than ever", this toothbrush is powered by artificial intelligence to provide a dentist-recommended clean. Analysing your brushing style, it ensures you don't miss a spot, with some users saying it leaves their teeth "super clean." It also uses a combination of smart features such as a new revolutionary gum guard technology, 360 SmartRing and Pressure Control to alert you, reduce speed when you brush too hard and tell you where you overbrush for a gentler routine. There's six different cleaning modes to choose from - daily clean, pro clean, sensitive, whitening, gum care and tongue cleaning. A timer makes sure you are cleaning your teeth for the recommended two minutes, while the lithium-ion battery provides up to two weeks worth of charge. Boasting an incredible 4.8 rating based and over 1,300 five-star reviews on the Boots website, the Oral-B Genius X Electric Toothbrush is certainly popular, as shoppers have branded it a "game-changer" for providing a "deep clean" that is similar to a trip to the dentist. One such review read: " Amazing electric toothbrush, with the different modes, you can select to have a deep clean, which leaves your mouth super clean and fresh." Shop Boots' £235.01 discount on the Oral-B Genius X Rose Gold Electric Toothbrush here. A second agreed: " Best hair growth serum truly works. This serum is a game-changer! It absorbs quickly, strengthens roots, and reduces hair fall. With consistent use, I've noticed visible hair growth and thicker, healthier strands. Lightweight, non-greasy, and super effective highly recommended!" Another delighted shopper said: "Generally I don't write reviews but this serum worked like miracle for me. I saw new hairs growing out after one week of daily usage. It's been a month now and I'm very happy with the results. You just have to be consistent with it. Overall it's worth it."

The blend of natural ingredients like Rosemary and Biotin has really worked wonders for my hair health." Not everyone was overly impressed with the results, as one three-star review read: "The product is good but there is no need of the hype which has been created because I am using from two months but haven't seen much change."
