Shampoo and scalp care
Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo C1
Alpecin | RM 22.00 – RM 46.00
The targeted caffeine complex journeys directly down the hair shaft. It actively counteracts the adverse effects of testosterone at the roots to stop premature thinning
Grafen Root Booster Shampoo
Grafen | RM 64.00 – RM 92.00
This clean, water-alkaline formula contains 22 varieties of amino acids alongside biotin. It is excellent for deep cleansing without harsh chemicals, leaving flat roots looking significantly denser
&Sons Saw Palmetto & Caffeine Shampoo
&Sons | RM 31.68
Formulated strictly for male hair patterns, it introduces a double-action block using topical Saw Palmetto and caffeine. This reduces the hormone markers that cause follicle shrinkage over prolonged daily use
Supplements
Supplements are not a proven treatment for hair loss. If you are pregnant, have a medical condition or take other medicines, check with a doctor or pharmacist first.

Offers an intense, pure dose of Vitamin B7 blended smoothly with virgin coconut oil. It assists the body in generating natural collagen and keratin, which improves texturization and scalp flexibility
How to choose
- Read the ingredient list and check it for anything you’re allergic to.
- Be wary of products that promise guaranteed regrowth or “miracle” results.
- Give a routine about 3 months before judging it, and take monthly photos to compare.
- Buy from an official brand store or a trusted seller, and check the seller’s reviews.
When to see a doctor instead
Products can’t diagnose why you’re losing hair. See a doctor if your hair loss is sudden or patchy, if your scalp is itchy, painful or flaky, or if you’ve used a routine for about 3 months without a change.
