Top 10 Shampoos For Aging Hair

ABOUT THE SHAMPOO
Harnessing the power of cutting-edge scientific research, Dr. Barbara Sturm has developed a unique formula that goes beyond ordinary shampoos. Infused with a carefully curated blend of potent ingredients, this shampoo offers a multitude of benefits that are specifically tailored to combat the challenges of aging hair.

WHAT IT DOES
One of the key advantages of the Super Anti-Aging Shampoo is its ability to rejuvenate and revitalize aging hair follicles. As we age, our hair experiences a loss of volume, thickness, and vitality. This extraordinary formula, enriched with nurturing agents, helps to stimulate dormant hair follicles, promoting healthy hair growth and combating thinning hair.

WHAT IT DOES
One of the key ingredients in this thickening, color-safe shampoo is karmatin, which bonds microencapsulated vegan B-Silk protein to hair that remains attached to your strands even after rinsing, leaving behind shine, body, and softness. Plus, it contains microencapsulated phytoactives, which work in tandem with the proteins to visibly enhance hair thickness and reduce the signs of shedding, thinning, and dryness.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW
This shampoo smells of natural citrus, and the formula has earned a clean seal by Sephora, which means you can be sure the brand's products are formulated without certain ingredients that are potentially harmful to human health and the environment.

WHO IT’S FOR
Designed for women over 40, this non-stripping shampoo is made with burdock root, which nourishes the scalp and hair while washing away excess oil. It also contains hops and bamboo, two ingredients that work together to thicken, strengthen, and boost moisture retention, so hair is gently cleansed without stripping moisture.

PROMISING REVIEW
“I'm 45 and have been using this and the conditioner for about a year. [...] I noticed that my hair was changing texture and getting dry and dull and lifeless. I've also noticed a lot more fallout in the shower. I started trying all sorts of different brands for aging hair, and I've since cleared all the other brands out of my shower. This is by far the best one and has brought my hair back to life. My hair is shiny and bouncy again.”

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT
Formulated with biotin to build up the keratin infrastructure of your hair, vitamin B5 to provide intense hydration and impart a healthy sheen, and saw palmetto extract to add body and give the appearance of fuller hair, R+Co’s Dallas Biotin Thickening Shampoo nourishes hair from root to tip with vital nutrients, vitamins, and minerals to help you maintain a full mane.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW
As with all R+Co products, this shampoo is free of parabens, sulfates, and mineral oil.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST
This biotin-infused shampoo has received more than 22,000 Amazon reviews, with many satisfied shoppers praising the formula for its ability to increase thickness while reducing hair thinning and breakage.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW
In addition to biotin, this shampoo is formulated with more than 20 key active ingredients that promote stronger, cleaner, healthier hair, including argan oil and saw palmetto and nettle extracts.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST
Packed with ceramides to strengthen, prevent breakage, and lock in moisture, this shampoo is perfect for all hair types lacking density. It’s also formulated with an ingredient called intracylane, which increases the thickness of hair, creating more voluminous and healthier-looking tresses.

PROMISING REVIEW
“This is my favorite shampoo! My hair is fine, but I have a decent amount of it. I started noticing I was losing a lot of hair in the shower now that I'm in my early 30s. After a bottle of this, I noticed my hair is visibly stronger and I don't shed nearly as much. It also feels very cleansing and left my hair feeling lighter and more voluminous.”

WHO IT’S FOR
Formulated with a glutamic acid-based emollient that strengthens hair and reduces breakage and the brand’s very own amino cleansing complex, this sulfate-free shampoo protects from styling damage while gently yet effectively cleansing hair. Plus, it contains phytantriol, which preserves hair color.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW
This formula is gluten-free, cruelty-free, and comes in recyclable packaging.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST
This luxe shampoo defends hair from the natural signs of aging and stress (think dry, brittle, damaged hair) with pure caviar extract, which is rich in omega 3 fatty acids, proteins, minerals, and vitamins A, C, and D. It works to help restore the hair's lipid layer to its optimal state—the key to healthier, younger-looking hair.

FROM THE EXPERTS
Based on a consumer study with CAVIAR Anti-Aging Replenishing Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner, 100% of women saw noticeable improvements in shine, texture, softness, and manageability after a single use.

WHAT IT DOES
Formulated with Oribe’s Bio-Restorative Complex, which defends hair from photoaging and the deterioration of natural keratin, this formula uses a range of high-quality ingredients like biotin, plant collagen, and caffeine to nourish, awaken, and intensely moisturize damaged hair. Plus, the formula contains centuries-old healing oils (think cypress, argan, and maracuja oils) to restore moisture and strengthen hair cuticles from the inside out. 

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW
As with all Oribe products, this shampoo is dermatologist tested, PETA approved, UV protective, and color- and keratin-treatment safe.

WHAT IT DOES
Praised for its ability to noticeably repair extreme damage, Olaplex's highly moisturizing, reparative shampoo can turn even the most brittle hair into silky strands. It protects hair from everyday stresses, including split ends and frizz, by relinking and maintaining broken bonds within the hair.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW
This award-winning shampoo uses Olaplex’s patented bond building technology to improve hair strength, protect from within, and provide immediate results for all hair types.
