Stress, COVID-19, pollution, diet, over-styling, hormonal changes, anemia and other medical conditions can cause hair loss on the scalp, brows and lashes. For cases where a hair follicle still exists, new and cult-classic products help stimulate the growth cycle and strengthen hair to prevent breakage.
Beverly Hills plastic surgeon and hair implant specialist Dr. Jason Champagne — whose clients include Chrissy Teigen and her hairstylist Jen Atkin, as well as actress Meagan Good — weighs in: “If you have hair that’s miniaturized or is not growing, you can try Latisse, [a prescription]. It lengthens the growth cycle, so in the eyelashes and in the eyebrows, it could grow the hair that you have longer, but it won’t grow new hair.”
Dr Aimee Paik, dermatologist for Hims & Hers, which counts Jennifer Lopez as an investor, also recommends using Latisse off-label on the brows, as well the brand’s products infused with Minoxidil, “the only FDA-approved topical ingredient for hair loss that is available over the counter … with proven efficacy for hair growth,” she says.
Ahead, we’ve rounded up some of the best hair growth products from Hollywood-loved brands. Whether you’re hoping to boost your tresses, brows or lashes, try these non-prescription serums and supplements from Vegamour, Hers, Revitalash, Shiseido and other labels favored by stars.

Jennifer Lopez Affleck uses this follicle-stimulating solution, with two percent FDA-approved minoxodil, that she claims helped her tresses grow “about four inches” in six months. Lopez Affleck is also an investor in Hims & Hers, as is her ex, Alex Rodriguez.
