Hims Shampoo Cost and Ingredients: Thick Fix, Dandruff and More

So a Hims shampoo is a hair care product, not a hair loss medicine. This page lists what each one costs, what is in it, and what the evidence says about the key ingredients.

Hims shampoo and conditioner prices

Each row is a price Hims printed on its own page, with the page and the date we read it.

Each product page lists the others as add-ons, so the price of one often sits on another's page. Hims does not print a size or a shipping term next to these prices. Its Max Volume page gives the size for that pair: 6.4 fluid ounces each. Check the size and any repeat delivery at checkout.

Hims Thick Fix shampoo: what is in it?

Thick Fix is the shampoo most people mean by "Hims shampoo". Hims calls it "a thickening shampoo packed with saw palmetto for fuller-looking hair" (Hims Thick Fix page, read 14 November 2026). The key ingredient is saw palmetto, an extract from the fruit of a palm tree.

The rest of the list is a gentle cleanser base. Hims names water, cocamidopropyl betaine and decyl glucoside first, which are mild soap-like cleansers. It also lists glycerin, a moisturizer, and fragrance for the eucalyptus scent. Hims says it is "Paraben-free, sulfate-free, silicone-free, phthalate-free, cruelty-free, vegan".

Does saw palmetto shampoo stop hair loss?

The evidence is thin, and Hims says so. On the Thick Fix page, Hims writes that saw palmetto "is not a clinically proven or FDA approved hair loss treatment, so make sure you are also using a true hair loss treatment for maximum effect."

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, part of the NIH, agrees. On saw palmetto for male pattern hair loss it says: "The evidence is too limited to allow conclusions to be reached." (NCCIH: saw palmetto, read 14 November 2026). Saw palmetto is a supplement ingredient, so no shampoo with it has FDA approval to treat hair loss.

Think of Thick Fix as a shampoo that can make hair look fuller for a while. It is not a substitute for finasteride or minoxidil. Our minoxidil shampoo guide looks at whether a shampoo can carry that drug.

Hims shampoo and conditioner: the Thick Fix pair

The Thick Fix Conditioner is sold on its own, and Hims also sells the separate Max Volume Duo, a shampoo and conditioner pair. Hims says the conditioner uses panthenol and niacinamide, "two nourishing types of vitamin B" (Hims Thick Fix Conditioner page, read 14 November 2026). Both are common in hair care to help hair hold moisture.

Hims is plain about the conditioner's role. Its page heading reads "More of a supporting role", and it says men with pattern baldness "might need a prescription strength treatment to help stop hair loss and regrow hair."

Hims Dandruff Detox shampoo

Dandruff Detox is the one Hims shampoo with a drug active ingredient. Hims names it: "Active ingredients: Pyrithione zinc (1%)" (Hims Dandruff Detox page, read 14 November 2026). Pyrithione zinc is a common dandruff ingredient.

The FDA's over-the-counter rules for dandruff products allow "Pyrithione zinc, 0.3 to 2 percent when formulated to be applied and then washed off after brief exposure" (21 CFR Part 358 Subpart H, eCFR, read 14 November 2026). Hims's stated strength sits inside that range.

The FDA explains why a dandruff shampoo is both a cosmetic and a drug: "an antidandruff shampoo is a cosmetic because its intended use is to cleanse the hair, and it is also a drug because its intended use is to treat dandruff." (FDA: is it a cosmetic, a drug, or both?, read 14 November 2026). Dandruff does not cause hair loss, Hims says, but scratching an itchy scalp can irritate it. Our hair loss myths guide covers dandruff, hats and more.

What actually treats hair loss at Hims

If you want to treat male pattern hair loss, the FDA-approved options Hims sells are finasteride pills and topical minoxidil. Finasteride starts at $22 a month, and over-the-counter Minoxidil Serum at $15 a month. Both prices are from Hims's hair loss page.

Hims also sells compounded sprays, pills and chews that mix finasteride and minoxidil. Compounded means a pharmacy mixes them to order, and they are not FDA-approved. Our Hims hair loss cost guide prices every Hims hair product, and the Hims hair review lists plan facts.

Cheaper options for hair loss treatment

Shampoo is a small cost next to a year of treatment. For the medicine itself, the lowest monthly hair loss price we track is $14 at Keeps. Our cheapest hair loss treatment guide sets prices side by side, and Hims vs Keeps compares two hair sellers.
