Shampoos for hair growth, reviews

Vasilisa Naumenko, beauty editor:

– Pharmacy brand Vichy never asked me questions. Products that are more expensive than the mass market but cheaper than luxury products are of good quality. I’ve used many products, but chapstick is my favorite.

Appearance: 200 ml of purple happiness. I love this color, so the product immediately caught on in the bathroom.

Expectations: What can you expect from a shampoo for hair growth and thickening? Rapunzel’s result? The manufacturer promised that this is the first shampoo to increase hair density with the patented stemoxidin molecule and ultra-thickening technology. In general, my expectations came down to the fact that there was no itching, and the hair the next day did not look dirty.

Reality: transparent shampoo lathers well and smells good. In the first few uses, I decided to test it 100 percent, so I didn’t use conditioner or spray to smooth my hair. In my arsenal there were only shampoo, comb and hairdryer. The result more than pleased me. After several uses, I noticed that less hair falls out during washing. This is not to say that the hair has grown back, since I decided not to measure it with a ruler, but I got thickness, shine and less loss. I will continue to test it with pleasure.

Nastya Obukhova, editor of the Fashion and Shopping section:

– To be honest, I love the brand’s products. I have already tried a radiance serum and a moisturizing emulsion for oily skin. Both remedies turned out to be downright miraculous. Therefore, without hesitation, I decided to take a brand new product for testing – hair care products. Shampoo and conditioner are not intended to treat hair loss, but have general healing effects. In this case, the rule applies: healthy scalp – healthy hair. I will run a little ahead and say that the funds left a double impression on me.

Appearance: shampoo and conditioner are presented in tiny bottles: only 150 milliliters each. A little more and you will get a travel format. For this price (1420 rubles for shampoo and 1970 rubles for conditioner) it turns out to be too expensive. The design of the bottles is pleasant and laconic – in the style of the brand.

Expectations: the shampoo is intended for dry scalp and consists mainly of natural ingredients. It is based on as many as four mild surfactants, which, according to the manufacturer, add high foaming properties to the product. It also contains rapeseed oil, aloe gel, lavender flower water and many other different oils and extracts. All of them have a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin and hair, solving problems such as itching, flaking, dullness and dry hair.

The conditioner is formulated for weak and damaged hair based on natural ingredients. In addition to oils and lavender hydrolate, the product contains a rather interesting ingredient: the eco-certified Emulsense complex – a natural and harmless analogue of silicones. After the conditioner, the hair becomes shiny, soft and stays clean for a long time.

Reality: I honestly tried to love the shampoo and used it every day for two weeks. As you might expect, the product doesn’t wash well, but this is what I usually close my eyes to when using natural products. Plus, it washes off badly. Even after thorough rinsing, the hair seemed slippery, covered with some kind of film. On the third day of use, my head began to itch, as a result of which peeling appeared. After another three days, the discomfort, fortunately, disappeared. I liked the air conditioner much more. After that, the hair was pleasant to the touch and moisturized, a little heavy – as if it had become thicker. I attribute this effect to the presence of a silicone substitute in the composition. Considering its natural origin, it suited me. The hair remained clean for exactly 12 hours: in the evening after work, the bangs were already hanging with a greasy icicle (and this despite the fact that I pin it up and do not touch it with my hands at all during the day). But since I wash my head every day anyway, it turned out to be not such a big problem for me.

The shampoo did not suit me categorically: apparently, the owners of drier and thicker hair will like it more. But the conditioner turned out to be very successful and economical, which cannot be said about the shampoo. Perhaps I will buy it for hair care in the winter season.

Olga Turbina, editor of the section “Sex and Relationships”:

– I have never used L’Occitane products before, although I have heard many good reviews about them. Shampoo and balm for active hair growth fell into my hands just when I set out to strengthen my hair for the spring, so that it would be healthy, beautiful and long.

Appearance: in terms of volume, shampoo and balm are very small, I think they will not last long.

Expectations: As for the shampoo, the manufacturer promised that a complex of five essential oils and strengthening amino acids will help restore strength and density to brittle and thin hair. Hair will regain its density and volume, and hair loss will be reduced.

But the new product, the essence for the scalp “Strength and Thickness of Hair” gives an effective effect of the patented complex of five stimulating essential oils and strengthening amino acids, enhances microcirculation, strengthens hair roots, and reduces hair loss. Hair becomes thick, strong and lush from root to tip.

Reality: using these two remedies for several weeks, I am very pleased with the result. Hair looks much better, hair loss is noticeably reduced. Maybe this is self-hypnosis, but it even seems to me that the hair has grown a little. Its smell is herbal, reminiscent of the decoction of nettle, which my mother used to rinse my hair as a child. Liquid, but lathers well. After it, do not comb your hair at all, so it is better to use it with a mask or balm. Hair looks very well-groomed. I definitely recommend L’Occitane products. You have to pamper yourself.

Kristina Semina, editor of the “Lifestyle” column:

– I have never heard of the Fudge brand before and, accordingly, have never used any line means. I decided to test the shampoo because I saw the word Mint on the packaging. “Cool! Shampoo with mint scent, ”I thought, and without hesitation took the remedy.

I googled the brand name on the Internet and found that it is not very popular in Russia yet. You can order funds only in online stores. There are also very, very few reviews in Russian.

Appearance: shampoo packaging is bright and eye-catching. For this, marketers and designers can be given a “5”.

Expectations: the press release to the shampoo says: “The menthol in the composition, refreshing and slightly tingling, stimulates hair growth.” This was the most important thing for me! I was not bothered by any tingling, after for some reason I cut my hair by 15 centimeters in the fall, growing them out became my fix idea.

In addition, the manufacturer writes that the shampoo contains a moisturizing complex with guarana, which increases the strength of the strands, grapefruit extract, which fights hair loss, birch root extract against dry scalp, as well as wheat germ, which prevents the effects of negative environmental factors.

Reality: I immediately liked the invigorating and refreshing scent of the shampoo. I was also pleased that after washing off the product with water, the aroma remains on the hair, but it is not heard as brightly as in the jar.

But the tingling when applying shampoo, as promised by the manufacturers, I did not feel at all. Also an important plus.

I used shampoo for three weeks. During this time, I noticed that my hair began to look better, and even began to fall out less. They also really started to grow better. So, usually in a month, the length of my hair increased by no more than 1 centimeter, and now the strands have grown by 2-3 centimeters. This is real truth, no fiction! I look at the length of my hair every day and almost measure it with a ruler.

Perhaps the effect would be even better if you use the conditioner of this line. By the way, the product can also be used for the body as a shower gel.

Yulia Gaponova, managing editor:

– By nature, I have unruly hair that becomes fluffy immediately after shampooing or from wet weather. Therefore, having beautiful shiny curls is just my dream! What means I have not tried, but they did not give the desired effect. I was not very enthusiastic about testing the product for strengthening and growing hair of the American brand Paul Mitchell – it seemed that this was another product that most likely would not work.

Appearance: the packaging is fairly standard. The only plus is that a very economical consumption of the product is obtained. Somehow, miraculously, it is possible to squeeze out exactly as much money as required.

Expectations: the manufacturers have promised that this product is ideal for all hair types and works well to prevent (and eliminate) hair loss and dandruff.

Reality: in fact, I liked the products. The shampoo effectively cleanses, gives a feeling of chill and menthol aroma, which is quite pronounced, but unobtrusive. The conditioner of this brand also suited me: after it, the hair becomes shiny and easier to comb. By the way, with regular use of the products, split ends do not appear and the hair as a whole looks healthy and well-groomed.
