The past three years has been a journey to totally transform my hair and add some much needed density. In 2023, my ends were split and thin, my texture was brittle, and it was thinning at a rate that had my brain spiraling. But with a steady diet of hair growth products for fine hair—including shampoos and conditioners, scalp serums, supplements, and hair growth oils—and regular haircuts (I go to Temur on the Upper East Side every eight weeks), I was able to get it back to a shiny, strong, healthy place. Plus, you know, plenty of patience. Hair only grows so fast!
But I’m the first to admit that I tried dozens of hair growth products before finding the winning group that worked best for me after much trial and error. As board-certified dermatologist Joyce Park, MD, reminds me, "Hair growth is slow and cyclical, so stopping and starting products too quickly is one of the biggest reasons people don’t see results. When I start my patients on a new hair growth routine, I tell them it will take 3-6 months to really see results, and they have to keep going with their regimen in order to maintain the results." Essentially, don't give up just because you're not seeing results overnight.
