Revainrating 5 out of 5

Thorough review! good for me

PSA this is going to be a long review!I will start with my hair type & why I purchased this. I previously had very thick, long, strong, wavy hair & I never used any special hair products. Last year I got diagnosed with an autoimmune disease & in the process of the diagnosis i lost 30 lbs, i only weighed 115 to begin with, so it was a huge stress. My naturopath said it would take about 6 month before it would begin to grow back. I even had no hair growth on my legs or underarms for 6 months. This entire time I took biotin products. Fast forward about 8 months later & my hair was not growing back & continued to fall out in clumps, I had about 1/4 the amount of hair I started with. I did tons of research & found this product (I was not into using the serums that are full of ungodly chemicals on my body because they soak through the scalp & into my body) so I found this product & gave it a go. Very dramatic results happened. Now I'm not sure if this is because I had already been taking biotin for 8 months or because it was just time for my hair to grow back but there has been a huge change. My hair is shiny, thick, strong, & I get compliments about how amazing my hair looks almost every day. I have so many hairs growing back in that I honestly have two different lengths to my hair & it's not from layers. While washing my hair I can literally count 10 hairs that fall out & NONE when I comb my hair afterwards, before I was losing clumps of hair during the shower & when I would comb my hair afterward. I only wash my hair every 4 days or so & when I do it never looks greasy (this is my hair type so I'm not sure about others) & I never have any issues styling it compared to any other products.With this said, I want to mention HOW i use the shampoo because there were alot of reviews stating it didnt work & doesnt lather. It does lather, very well but not when there is alot of build up. Before using this, I used bar shampoo & transitioning to that your hair goes through a detox period where it gets rid of the chemicals & take a few months to do that, I'm not sure if this product is similar to that but I can use it interchangeably with my bar shampoos without my hair having to go through any detox period again, which means it doesnt have the harsh chemicals & nasties that commercial products have because it's not leaving any residue on my hair. So I'm assuming others would need to go through that detox period before they get the full effect of this product. With that being said, I lather & repeat about 2 or 3 times while using this product, my hair is getting much thicker so I shampoo it in sections, I use it very abundantly since I only wash every 4 days or so, & i then lather quite a bit in those sections. After I get all the sections I can use another "normal" amount & shampoo it again as I would any other shampoo & it lathers up with no problem, & this is where I exfoliate my scalp.I also forgot to mention previously I was having a dry scalp that was out of control, I had a thick build up of dry skin on my scalp & after switching it has started to go away & at this point is almost gone altogether. (I never had dandruff before my diagnosis)I have been using this for about 6 weeks & will probably never stop, or at least not until my hair has fully grown back to its previous glory! I have used about 1/2 of my shampoo bottle in that time & I use quite a bit during a washing, & about 2/3 of my conditioner that I also use on my daughters hair.I hope this review helped since I had to piece together a bunch to find what I was looking for :)

Pros
  • It is endorsed and recommended by professional hairdressers who have seen the benefits of biotin on hair
Cons
  • May not provide enough conditioning for those with coarse or thick hair
