My Most Purchased Haircare Products as a Hair Loss Expert | Dr. Sam Ellis
Oribe$52.00- “It's kind of like if dry shampoo and hairspray had a perfect little baby”▶ 1:18
- “It gives enough grit to add that instant volume, but does not weigh the hair down at all”▶ 1:23
- “If you have fine or thin hair that tends to fall flat, I feel like this will absolutely elevate your hair game”▶ 1:28
- “I like it cuz it helps keep my hair off of my scalp a little bit, and it just adds this sort of effortless look to the hair”▶ 1:44
- “I can use it multiple days in a row without it building up and feeling heavy”▶ 2:10
- “It smells absolutely divine”▶ 2:06
K18$48.00- “I can literally take a greased down hairstyle, spritz in the K18, and you don't need a lot, and the hair really does look washed”▶ 2:39
- “Definitely of all the dry shampoos I've ever tried, this one makes oiliness disappear the most effectively, and you don't need a ton of product”▶ 2:59
- “If I had to rate this on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it like a 9.5, which is very generous for me because I'm really picky about things”▶ 3:11
- “In terms of what it actually does for your hair, 10 out of 10”
- “When you spray it, it can leave a little bit of white residue. So if you're wearing dark clothing or you have dark countertops, you will see a little bit of that fall out”▶ 3:22
Nizoral$14.79- “It is very good at helping people who struggle with an itchy or flaky scalp”▶ 5:03

- “If you have dandruff and hair thinning, this is the single best thing I think you could have in your routine”▶ 5:08

Maelove$34.95Full Follicle Shampoo and Conditionershade · Shampoo
UNITE Hair$40.50- “Not only does it detangle your hair really well, it makes styling so much more easy because it reduces the breakage when you are brushing your hair and it has heat protection up to 450°”▶ 7:46
- “I love that this is in a nice spray bottle, so it's really easy to get an even coat of my hair”▶ 7:58
- “A lot of heat protectants can make the hair feel oily or weigh it down and this just keeps your hair having all the volume it was naturally going to have, but it also protects it and it doesn't feel sticky or gross afterwards”▶ 8:04
- “Use it on my son, I use it on me”
- “It doesn't have like a really overwhelming scent. It is just like best all around”▶ 8:24
UNITE Hair$37.50- “This volumizing mousse is so good. You put a little bit into your palm and I just kind of rake it through my roots after I wash and then when you blow dry, you get this beautiful volume up at the roots that just looks really natural and kind of prevents your hair from falling flat over time”▶ 9:29
- “Your hair still feels soft afterwards. Like it's totally touchable”▶ 9:53
- “When I use a mousse, I actually don't have to wash my hair as frequently because it adds so much volume at my roots that my hair is not sitting and getting stuck to my scalp oils”▶ 10:01
- “I remember posting about this mousse on my Instagram stories... I got a couple of DMs from gals I went to college with that were like, 'That mousse is insane. I got so many compliments at work today.'”▶ 10:19
K18$75.00- “This is a bond repair mask that you apply after the shower”▶ 10:46

- “It's so much shinier and bouncier after I style it”
- “My hair is able to grow longer and healthier and not keep breaking off in the middle”▶ 12:23
Maelove$49.95- “Their scalp serum is also, I think, quite special”▶ 12:53
- “I just think they make very thoughtful, science-backed products”▶ 12:59
- “It has so many good things in it, the red clover extract with the acetyl tetrapeptide-3, caffeine, it also has panthenol and antioxidants like vitamin E and resveratrol and green tea”▶ 13:22
- “I like that this is not particularly oily”
- “This one's great and is complimentary to minoxidil if you're also on that as well”▶ 14:23
- “This uses their patented OS-1 peptide, which is really targeted at something called senescent cells in the scalp”▶ 14:42
- “This helps clear those senescent cells out of the way and kind of modulate the scalp environment so it's more ideal for optimal hair growth”▶ 14:53
