Best-selling hair growth products to buy in Australia: These are the 7 products shoppers swear by
Hair shedding every time you brush? Noticing more scalp than strands? You're not alone.
Hair thinning is a very real issue for Aussies, and whether it's stress, hormones, or simply genetics, the effects can seriously dent your confidence.
But there's good news: you don't have to just put up with it.
We spoke to John Pulitano, co-owner and Creative Director of Headcase Hair, who's been treating thinning hair for decades. 'I see it every day,' he says. 'And trust me, with the right treatments, you can absolutely turn things around.'
According to John, regular trims do make a difference. 'I've seen long-term clients who skip their appointments lose volume over time. But when they're consistent with their cuts, the hair stays healthier and fuller.'
If your thinning is mild or just starting, there are also excellent at-home options, and we've rounded up the best.
From scalp serums and LED tech to shampoo swaps and supplement support, here are seven of the most effective treatments you can use right now.

Affordable and effective, this herbal spray gives your scalp a real wake-up call.
Packed with 10 herbs, jojoba, and panthenol, this scalp spray is a cult classic for a reason. Designed to stimulate sluggish follicles and promote new growth, it's perfect for early signs of thinning. Bonus: it smells fresh and won't weigh your hair down.

6. Patricks Plus Set Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo and Conditioner, $190 at PATRICKS
Looks like a luxury set, works like a prescription.
This shampoo and conditioner duo doesn't mess around – it's got DHT-blockers, peptides, and biotin all in one. Great for men and women dealing with serious shedding, it's a clinical-level treatment disguised as a bougie bathroom upgrade.
7. Coco & Eve Tripeptide Hair Density Serum, $50 at Coco & Eve
TikTok's favourite hair serum for a reason.
Formulated with three clinically backed peptides, this serum tackles thinning by strengthening the scalp and reducing fall-out. It's lightweight, smells lush, and works well with other products in your routine. Some users see results in just 10 days.
So, what else can you do?
Wash more often: Oily buildup on the scalp can clog pores and worsen thinning.
Take supplements: Brands like AEDE (Australian-made) support hair health from the inside out.
Get professional advice: If hair loss is sudden or severe, book in with a trichologist or dermatologist.
Don't delay: As John says, 'The sooner you start treatment, the better the result.'
Hair loss isn't something you need to suffer through quietly.
With today's options, both natural and high-tech, there is a way forward.
