Following a long winter filled with hats, drying heat, and a rather uninspired styling plan that included a lot of messy buns, my locks are looking thin, dull, and generally lackluster as we head into spring. Thankfully, a selection of strengthening, shine-inducing, and thickening new products are here to save the day and encourage growth, healing, and nourishment with fortifying ingredients.

Bur Bur One of a Kind Bundle ($56)

Created by childhood friends with a love of haircare, Bur Bur is a line that features nourishing burdock oil as a central ingredient. Plant-based, sustainably sourced, organic, cold pressed, clinically proven, and cruelty-free, the products are meant to nourish and promote healthy hair. The One of a Kind Bundle, a helpful hair trio, includes Growing Season Oil, a high-performance botanical hair oil that visibly strengthens hair, adds shine and softness, and supports healthy hair growth. The oil is super charged when paired with the Growing Season Derma Roller. This 192-titanium needle (0.3mm) roller for scalp stimulation is lightweight, easy to use, and glides smoothly without tangling. It also enhances product absorption. The bundle also comes with the detangling Mermaid Brush, which is designed for effortless wet detangling and features flexible nylon bristles that gently glide through all hair types and textures—minimizing breakage while providing a soothing scalp massage.

Luesta Beauty Rosemary Mint Complex Bundle ($32)

Energizing and invigorating, Luesta’s Beauty Rosemary Mint Complex Bundle is infused with rosemary and peppermint to energize, as well as strengthening biotin. When used together, this product duo cleanses and nourishes hair while promoting a refreshed scalp and healthier, more vibrant locks. Sulfate, paraben, and gluten free, the products promote scalp health, fortify strands to reduce breakage, nourish, and detangle.

Odele Thickening Shampoo and Thickening Conditioner ($11.99 each)

Thin, lackluster hair is a thing of the past with Odele’s Thickening Shampoo + Thickening Conditioner ($11.99 each). No matter your hair texture, this density boosting and strengthening regimen, which is rich with plant actives, delivers fullness and improves overall hair strength and scalp health. The shampoo features biotin to help boost density and fortify strands, while rosemary and caffeine help revitalize and stimulate the scalp. The conditioner features biotin and rosemary as well as a blend of aloe vera, rich in vitamins and fatty acids, to help promote hair and scalp health. To further enhance effectiveness, pair the treatments with Rejuvenating Scalp Serum ($12.99), which is infused with vitamin E, rosemary, and caffeine. It helps stimulate and nourish the scalp without leaving hair feeling weighed down or greasy at the roots.

PURA D'OR's Apple Cider Vinegar Thin2Thick Shampoo and Conditioner ($29.99)

Apple cider vinegar has healthy benefits for both inside and outside of the body, as proven by this cleansing and nourishing set. The proprietary formula cleanses scalp and locks in moisture while maintaining shine and luster thanks to 15 premium herbal ingredients, including biotin, castor oil, keratin, and a proprietary herbal blend, which all work together to help maintain hair’s strength, providing a fuller appearance and vibrant-looking locks. Along with being free of harsh chemicals, parabens, sulfates, and gluten, PURA D’OR plants a tree for every product sold. To date, this has resulted in 257,411 trees being planted, the removal of 2,890,210 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and the creation of 14,765,814 pounds of oxygen.

DefenAge 150K Hair Follicle Serum ($99)

Hair loss in women is a growing concern, affecting self-esteem, confidence, and overall wellbeing. Defensins, the active ingredient in this serum, offers a natural and effective way to stimulate hair growth by targeting hair and skin stem cells. It revitalizes the scalp environment, promoting fuller, healthier hair without the use of drugs or hormones. It is uniquely formulated to reduce visible signs of hair shedding while nourishing and renewing hair follicles to promote overall scalp health. It also helps minimize irritation and pigmentation on the scalp, addressing common concerns for sensitive skin. Additionally, the serum targets the appearance of grey hair, softening root color for a more natural, vibrant look. “The Defensin technology used in the 150K Hair Follicle Serum has been shown to directly target both skin and hair stem cells and convert telogen (resting hairs) to anagen (active growth phase) and increase hair count,” says Gregory Keller, M.D., a board-certified facial plastic surgeon and expert in aesthetic innovation. “This hair growth restoration even occurs when all vestiges of hair and skin have been damaged, creating a non-invasive yet effective alternative to traditional treatments.”

Vama Silk Post-Wash Hair Oil Treatment ($32)

Mindfully made using native Indian herbs and plant extracts like triphala and licorice, this oil helps to strengthen hair and lock in hydration and moisture. It also helps restore hair's natural luster. Luxurious yet extra lightweight, it’s suitable for all hair types and rich in sunflower, rosemary and grapeseed oils to infuse hair with a powerful dose of nutrients and vitamins. Vama Wellness is a Toronto-based hair and scalp care brand known for using traditional Indian Ayurvedic techniques and natural ingredients to create haircare products that help to accelerate hair regrowth and scalp rejuvenation.

The Spa Dr. Hair Wellness Collection (starting at $36)

The Spa Dr. recently debuted its first-ever Hair Wellness Collection, a naturopathic doctor-formulated, hormone-conscious system to support visible midlife hair changes like thinning, dryness, and scalp sensitivity during perimenopause and menopause. The New Collection includes the Advanced Hair Boost Blend ($55), a vegan supplement with saw palmetto, biotin, and pea shoot extract to nourish hair from within and support fuller-looking hair during the midlife transition; Restore Shampoo ($36), a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser with rosemary, kelp extract, and gotu kola to balance the scalp and reduce breakage without disrupting natural oils; Hydrating Conditioner ($36), a nutrient-rich formula with botanical oils, caffeine, and sea buckthorn to boost hydration, shine, and softness for hair that feels drier during midlife; and Nourishing Hair Mask ($48), an ultra-rich treatment with coconut oil, caffeine, and amino acids to deeply moisturize, strengthen, and smooth the appearance of fragile hair.
