There are few conditions as mortifying as being a woman who's losing hair—but it will happen to around half of all women. As taboo as it is, it's time that we start talking about thinning hair and how to handle it.

One of the easiest fixes for light cases of hair loss is to check out some shampoos for thinning hair. These shampoos are formulated to be gentle on hair and meant to nourish strands before it's too late.

Thinning hair can happen due to diet issues, or even something as simple as over-styling your hair without using flat irons that won't damage your hair. Wondering which shampoos work? Check out our picks for thinning hair below.

Kevin Murphy's Plumping Wash is one of the best shampoos for thinning hair, regardless of what gender you are. This unique shampoo works to thicken the hair you already have, through the use of Vitamin A and Vitamin C.

By nourishing your hair properly, you prevent hair loss and improve health. Most celebrity stylists swear by this one, and claim that it's excellent for a thick, voluminous head of hair—even if you aren't losing hair.

If you have noticeably thinning hair, or hair that just falls out with a simple tug, you may need to step up your shampoo game. One of the best shampoos for thinning hair that's beginning to get noticeable is Nioxin's System 2.

This shampoo has been helping people keep their hair for years, and much of its success is due to menthol—a known refresher for scalps.

Perhaps one of the most affordable shampoos for thinning hair comes from OGX, a drugstore brand. This Rejuvenating Cherry Shampoo uses ginseng, extracts, and naturally occurring amino acids to help fortify thinning hair.

More importantly, this is a great choice for hair that's thinning due to over-styling. Why? Because it's safe for use with color treated hair, too.

Yet another volumizing shampoo that carries ginseng, Blossom and Blossom is one of the more upscale shampoos for thinning hair out there. The reason why? Well, it works.

This bottle also includes hair-thickening agents like Biotin and ginger to help increase hair growth, and boasts an ingredient list that's 98 percent natural.

Hair thinning has a lot of different causes. If you're losing hair as a result of overuse, there are plenty of shampoos that can help you. If it's due to a lack of nutrition, there's tons of things that can aid you there, too. However, it's really hard to find shampoos for thinning hair due to hormones.

That's why Alterna's Caviar Clinical Daily Detoxifying Shampoo is such a great option. This is a shampoo that combats hair loss due to hormones, by lowering the amount of DHT in your scalp.

Just need a little more "oomph" to your shampoo? One of the newer shampoos for thinning or flat hair is Full Shampoo by Living Proof. Sulfate-free and beautifully fragrant, this shampoo strips away dirt that harms hair and gives you extra volume in your style.

If you're looking for a shampoo that will add volume to thinning hair, without causing your hair to get damaged, you may want to look into Shea Moisture's African Water Mint & Ginger.

Like many other shampoos for thinning hair, this shampoo is specially formulated to be gentle on the scalp. Though it works better on curly or ethnic hair, it's still moisturizing enough for straight hair as well.

Perhaps the most affordable MVP among shampoos for thinning hair comes from Renpure Originals. Their Thickening Shampoo is filled to the brim with biotin and collagen, and has been a mainstay among people looking for healthier hair.

No sulfites, salts, or harsh chemicals are used in making this. So, it's as safe a shampoo as you can get—and might also cut down your need to look up hair masks, too. It's also a smart choice if you're looking to grow long, healthy hair.

Guys face baldness a lot more than girls do—so it makes sense to mention at least one man-centric shampoo to keep your hair looking long and manly. Made with biotin and specially formulated for a guy's needs in mind, this is one of the most popular shampoos for thinning hair on men.

Judging by the awesome scent alone, we can totally see why.

Finally, we're gonna finish this off with an organic option that'll please those seeking out a natural alternative. Looking for an all-natural shampoo that'll rejuvenate hair?

If you're serious about reversing hair loss, you might want to check out PhytoWorx. This shampoo uses plant-based stem cells to help you turn back the clock. It's gotten incredibly high ratings compared to other shampoos for thinning hair—so it's safe to say it's worth the price.
