- Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2025I have been using this for over six months along with the Densifique shampoo and conditioner. My hair fallout has SIGNIFICANTLY reduced. While it’s normal for hair to fall during the day, I used to lose more than your average bear. Perimenopause/menopause really keeps a gal on her toes. So. Much. Fun! Anyhoops, I also created a vitamin dupe blend of the most popular one marketed towards women during this stage of life. The price is pretty ridiculous so I broke down the label and sourced my own from this platform. I can get a three month supply of vitamins for the price of one of the brand name. This combo of items has helped my hair situation a lot. I lose maybe 3-5 hairs in the shower whereas before I was losing 20+. I also shed way less throughout the day. Before I would find my hair everywhere. Now that isn’t the case. The Densifique shampoo is also one of the best smelling shampoos I’ve ever encountered. I will never use anything else. It’s all expensive but sometimes a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2024I lost over 100 lbs and in doing so my weight loss affected my hair and it got thin. I use to have thick hair. I heard this stuff works so I tried it about 6 months ago. I waited to give my review. It definitely improved my hair. It is getting thicker. I put it on my roots, back of head along the sides as well. You need to massage it for about 20 seconds . I use it twice a week. Not sure if I stop using the product if my hair would return to being thin again. I’m not going to chance it. I highly recommend. Just bought another bottle.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2025I've been using this for a few months (3 months) and I've seen no notable difference in hair growth. Smells good but waste of money, would not purchase again and would not recommend.

I can notice a big improvement in the quality of my new hairs growing. I am a natural brunette but bleach my hair an ashy platinum blonde and this product helps strengthen my baby fine hair to prevent breakage. It took me about 3-4 months to see a real difference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un produit miracle
Je viens modifier mon commentaire négatif laissé quelques semaines après avoir commencé à utiliser ce produit.. Il faut le reconnaître quand on a tort, et là, j'avoue que je me suis précipitée dans mon évaluation. Ce produit est vraiment top, j'ai des repousses assez importantes. Mes baby hair forment presque une frange après 3 mois et demi d'utilisation - sachant que j'en suis encore à mon premier flacon (oui je compte en racheter).
Le conseil le plus important : il faut persévérer. Continuez à l'appliquer (à chaque fois que vous vous lavez les cheveux, juste après les avoir essorés) même si vous ne voyez toujours pas de résultats. Ça prend entre 3 et 4 mois pour voir sa masse capillaire se densifier.
