Best Amazon Haircare Products We Reviewed
Keranique 2% Minoxidil Topical Solution
Pros:
- The precision nozzle makes it easy to spot treat thinning areas
- Non-sticky formula
Cons:
- It takes about 4 months of consistent use to see results
Hair loss affects an estimated 30 million women, according to the Cleveland Clinic. If you’re struggling with thinning hair, solutions like Keranique Hair Regrowth Treatment can help. Its 2% formula offers a gentler alternative to stronger 5% options, while the precision nozzle makes application easier – especially for those tricky spots at the back of the head.
Holly J. Coley, a commerce updates editor, knows this struggle well. “I developed telogen effluvium, a stress-related condition that causes hair thinning and loss,” she explains. “Talk about adding stress to stress! I initially tried a 5% minoxidil foam that worked for regrowth, but left my scalp itchy and flaky. When my hair started thinning again after stopping treatment (because yes, minoxidil requires ongoing use), my dermatologist recommended testing a 2% formula to minimize irritation.”
