Seven GGBA Favourites for Hair Growth and Scalp Care in 2026

A ponytail that feels a little thinner, a parting that looks wider, or more hair in the brush after having a baby. Hair can change as we get older, and postpartum shedding can feel particularly unsettling. It’s understandable to start looking more closely at what’s on the bathroom shelf, from your everyday shampoo to a scalp treatment you’ve never considered before.

With that in mind, we’ve picked seven products from the 2026 Global Green Beauty Awards haircare winners. They span rosemary oils, peptide serums and pre-wash treatments, with different approaches to caring for the scalp and improving the look and feel of hair. They aren’t treatments for every cause of hair loss, but they offer a starting point for exploring your haircare options.

For anyone curious about rosemary hair oil, MARUSHA Hair Growth and Scalp Treatment Oil is worth a closer look. The Silver winner for Best Natural Hair Growth Product combines rosemary, neem and amla in a blend of plant oils and macerates. Intended for both the scalp and lengths, it lends itself to a proper hair-oiling ritual. A lovely option if you enjoy taking a little time over your haircare before washing.

Saturday Sunshine Beauty’s Magic Hair Growth Serum took Gold in Best Natural Hair Growth Product. Its formula includes copper peptides, niacinamide and red clover extract, paired with a derma-roller applicator. That makes it a more involved choice than a conventional serum, so following the brand’s application and hygiene instructions matters. For those interested in peptide scalp care, it’s one of this year’s award winners to explore.

If you’d prefer to start with something familiar, VEDIC LAB’s Anti-Hair Fall Microbiome Shampoo brings the focus to wash day. Awarded Bronze for Best Natural Hair Growth Product, it contains hydrolysed vegetable protein, and the brand describes the formula as pH balanced and sulphate free. There’s something appealing about reconsidering a product you already use before adding more steps. A shampoo has a different role from a leave-on treatment, but it can be the most straightforward place to begin a haircare refresh.

For a leave-on option, Naturals by Watsons Coffee Peptide Anti-hair Fall Hair & Scalp Tonic received Highly Commended in Best Natural Hair Growth Product. Coffee seed oil and extract feature alongside panthenol and copper tripeptide-1. The tonic can be massaged into a damp or dry scalp and left in, so it fits around your usual routine without an extra rinse. A practical format if you like the idea of a scalp treatment but don’t want to plan your evening around it.

Fine hair comes with its own balancing act: wanting softness and conditioning while keeping some body. LUMINUS SUBSTANTIA Pre-Shampoo Density Treatment, the Gold winner for Best Natural Scalp Product, is described by the brand as a lightweight treatment for fine, thinning-looking and fragile hair. Its focus is the appearance of density, rather than a promise of new growth. Used before shampooing, it also has a clear place in your routine without becoming another finishing product layered onto freshly washed hair.

Sometimes, though, scalp dryness is what needs the attention. Drought Secret Drops of Thirst, awarded Gold for Best Vegan Scalp Product, is a pre-wash oil formulated for dry, flaky scalps. Blackseed, avocado, castor and hemp oils feature in the blend, which can also be worked through the lengths. It’s a choice for a slower wash day, when you have time for a conditioning treatment before stepping into the shower.

While you’re giving your scalp more attention, the lengths may need some care too. MONAT’s Double-Action Hydrating Serum received Silver in both Best Natural Hair Treatment and Best Vegan Hair Treatment. With hyaluronic acid technology and panthenol, it’s designed to improve softness, shine and manageability in dry hair. This is a conditioning treatment rather than a hair-growth serum, a useful distinction when choosing between products with similar names. If your main frustration is hair that feels dry and difficult to manage, its focus on hydration may be more relevant to your routine.

You don’t need all seven on your shelf. A format you enjoy and can comfortably fit into your routine is a better starting point than an increasingly crowded bathroom cabinet. Whether that’s an oil before washing or a tonic afterwards, there’s plenty to discover among this year’s winners.
