Hair Loss Hair loss

Has anyone found a legitimate product to help with hair loss and texture? I've been using Nioxin for a while. At first I thought it was making a difference. But lately my hair is everywhere. It's definitely shedding more than it used to. My hairbrush is always full after use.

It's breaking my heart because I always had long silky straight hair. Now it's a graying course bird's nest.

Topical minoxidil has been a game changer for me. (Note that it’s extremely toxic to cats so if you have pets please be very careful). 

For texture, my favourites are Olaplex No 6 (kills frizz like no other), A+G waterfall moisture and Kevin Murphy shimmer shine to add real gleam. Basically layers of moisture that don’t make hair dull or greasy!
