Hair loss affects about half of women and two-thirds of men, and if you're dealing with it, you know how powerless it can make you feel. Professional treatments? Oof, they can be pricey. But good news: There are at-home options that actually, really and truly work. Just ask Charmed star Alyssa Milano, who swears by Nutrafol's hair growth supplements and the popular Nioxin anti-thinning hair system anti-thinning system. Hallelujah to the hair growth gods, because Nutrafol is currently on rare sale ahead of October's Amazon Prime Day.
After publicly sharing her post-COVID hair-loss story, Milano found the help she needed within a few bottles. She praises both Nutrafol supplements and Nioxin products for helping "tremendously" with her hair-loss (and regrowth!) journey. And she's not the only fan: These products have found fans in shoppers who say the treatments have helped curb their own loss of locks and revitalized their manes.
Want to try Alyssa's other hair-rescuing go-to? Check out the Nioxin system, which reviewers call the "best product for fine and thinning hair":
Designed for a range of hair types, the Nioxin haircare system is designed to purify the scalp and promote thicker, fuller hair growth. Every system kit contains a three-product base to help thicken hair: cleansing shampoo, which removes sebum and any environmental residue that may be clogging hair follicles; conditioner, which helps protect hair against breakage and control the balance of moisture in locks; and a leave-in treatment, formulated to leave hair thicker and appear fuller.

Alyssa Milano isn't the only fan of Nioxin — it has an army of rave reviewers at Amazon who have given the various kits five-star ratings.
"Great for thinning hair," gushed a satisfied shopper. "I love this brand, and for thin hair, it's wonderful; smells amazing and helps [with] my hair growth and thickness. If you have never used Nioxin, you should!"
"Finally, a product that really works!" exclaimed another impressed user. "Just one use of this product made a big difference with my hair. I battle excessive dry hair and have tried so many products, including salon products, and never got the results I wanted or needed. This will be my forever hair-care product!"
"This product has been great," shared a third fan. "Less hair found in [my] brush. Seems to be working great with less hair loss."
Of course, some reviewers wish they got more for their money. "After using this product for one month so far, I can honestly say I see a huge difference in my hair. It looks normal again!" said a final buyer. "And feels almost as thick as it originally was! Would purchase again. My only complaint is that the three-month supply looks more like 1.5-2 months."
