I love love this product. omg this are AMAZING. probably the best I ever had. They last long and it keeps the hair moist even in the winter. The packaging is great and I love the whole quality.beto.a

This is another great hair growth product. It works great! is an excellent way to care for your hair. All you need is a few drops a few times per week. Alternate the bottles. Use white today, yellow tomorrow. It is a tried and true part of my hair care regimen.michelle.g

Because I was losing way too much hair, my doctor recommended a biotin supplement. It worked very well and the hair loss was history. Because of that success, I was anxious to try Biotin shampoo and I wasn't disappointed. My hair is smooth and shiny and my hairdresser commented on its increased body. I'm confident that it will help keep my hair healthy.karen.w

So far so good. Been using for about a week and like results. Hair looks thicker and has soft feel. Have to get use to product not producing the suds as most shampoos but if the result improve my hairs appearance it will be worth it.aumitney

Seems to be working. I notice more hair everyday. I know my hair will take a little while to fill in due to alopecia but I do see a thick cloud of peach fuzz only need to use a little because lather is thick.it smells great too. I will be ordering the conditioner soon.carolydorroug77

Only been using it about a month, so, don't know yet about regrowth, but I've stopped getting handfuls and brushfuls of hair. Makes it feel fuller, as well. The shampoo is very concentrated, doesn't take a lot, but the conditioner tends to be lacking. Takes a lot of product, and it doesn't feel that "conditioned", but I'm going to keep on track until I find out if there is regrowth or not. Hair loss is apparently very common with autoimmune disorders, and the medical community has not been of any help.360badpony67

I purchased this shampoo and conditioner combo because of all the lawsuits and claims about my normal shampoo and conditioner, which was Organix in the purple. This stuff left my hair SO dry that I could barely comb it even after spaying a ton of CHI leave-in-conditioner on it. Definitely going back to Organix which I never had any trouble with to begin with and I’ve been using it for about 3 years. Don’t even get me started on the way this product smells, it’s HORRIBLE!!!Patricia

The bottles are very small thought they would be bigger and they have a very strong peppermint smell, but works great, so worth the money, also it came with sample shampoo from another shampoo they have i assume.A

This has a great taste to it. It help me with more energy in the mornings, drank it in the night and it seems that I have a more clearer thinking. Can't explaint it , but I gave it to my co-workers and they ordered this too. Tehy said that it gave them more energy also.shybuyer

Good product! It did not make my hair feel coarse or dry, nor did it strip too much of the natural oil. I appreciate the good ingredients. The smell of the shampoo is good, it smells similar to regular drug store shampoos. The bottle says it takes 3-5 months to really see results and I’ve just been using it a week so I still have yet to see the growth results, but I do really like the formula so far.Lindsey

Excellent hair shampoo !! does what it claims it will do, which is to grow hair, a little pricy for what I normally spend on shampoo but I had to try it out. Its amazing, I started seeing positive results from the first week that I used it. My case is not as severe as a lot of other people, just a little thinning on the top of my head. I just wanted to see if there was something on the market that could help me out. That's when I saw an ad for this shampoo so I decided to try it out. I noticed it has a lot of strong ingredients in it. It puts out a strong vaporing feeling when I rub the shampoo in my hair. It makes my hair really thick that I need to use a lot of hair conditioner to get all the tangles out. All and all I think its a good American made product, definitely feel my hair looks better using it than not using it. I hope they will keep the prices down, because I want to keep using it.Wesley

IT WORKS! I am a man at 60 years of age. I was taking DHEA for health reasons but my hair would start to fall out in clumps after taking it for 1 month. I tried other hair tonics. Nothing seemed to work and I was not about to pay $50 for any hair miracle grow. I bought this Hair Restore Shampoo then I put a dab in my hair in the morning after washing my hair to style it. At night I put some in my hair and left it on over night. My hair stopped falling out in bunches in less than a week. After one month I noticed hair growing in bald places on my head. After 3 months those hairs are longer and more hair is coming out. You can't beat the price. It's 16 ounces and I still have a lot left. A little dab twice a day will do ya.HappyatLast

This spray is very nice and smells quite pretty too. Since I have been using it, my hair has been falling out less, which is great as I used to struggle a lot with hair Loss. There is definitely more thickness and volume. The only unfortunate thing is due to the area you have to spray, it has caused a small breakout of pimples on my forehead. I would still recommend it though! It pairs well with the vast selection of shampoos and conditioners.Ashleigh C.

This product is magic. It gives great volume and body to my hair which is otherwise flat. I spray this after washing my hair with Hairburst shampoo and conditioner on wet hair and it works wonders. It has given more density and thickness to my hair. It also helps reduce hair loss. I love this product and highly recommend it.Clementine D.

I love this product and I have been using it for around 3 years now. I have noticed a massive difference in overall condition of my hair. It has really helped my hair grow & become stronger. Smells great too. Lovely packaging & great size. Would definitely recommend to add this product to your HairBurst collectionEllis M.

I have used this for the last 6 months. It seems to be working on top of head but not too much in front. Overall, it is better than taking pills.ghasiani1

I began using this on my eyebrows after a dermaplaning session gone wrong. I use a drop or 2 on each brow and then rub it in (don’t use too much or you’ll be very greasy) before bed and within a month I had noticeable hair regrowthdaniela.s

It caused a lot of my hair to fall out when I used it and I wouldn’t say I have the best hair but I haven’t touched or damaged it in anyway in the past year and a halfCourtney Horton

Best shampoo and conditioner I've used in my life so far! Jeeps my hair growing and healthy. The smell is not great but worth it!rachael.l

The conditioner is great. I’m hoping it will also help with my new regrowth. My only criticism is that the shampoo is very thin in texture. Watery. I just wish it was a little thicker as it pours out. Lol. Extremely happy with the supplements and serum. I definitely see new growth. After 4 months I see a good 2 inches.Arlaine M.

DO NOT use this product more than twice a week. Before using this product, I should have looked at the note on their website. I have been using this shampoo and conditioner every time I wash my hair for the past 2 months, and today, when I was getting my hair done tons of my hair, broke off on my stylist's brush while she was brushing my hair. It definitely freaked me out! My stylist and I were both pretty startled because my hair has never broken off that much! She figured it was this product and sure enough when I came onto the website all the way to the bottom it stated, "Because this formula is rich in proteins, it is suggested to use no more than twice a week." I wish the company would make it more obvious that you shouldn't use this product that frequently.J

Seeking the great reviews I decided to purchase from this brand for the first time getting the growth drops, shampoo, and conditioner. Shampoo is insanely liquidy which is not mentioned anywhere including a skngle review but once actually managing to get it fromyour hand to to you hair trying to not spill, it is a great product and doesn't strip my hair instantly like most keratin or protein shampoos. The conditioner has a great creamy consistency but second I apply it it feels like I barely applied applied anything andeven in my fine hair has no slip at all. I wanted to use thes set but maybe it is just too much protein and following with a moisturizing conditioner might be a better balance for me. While I do like most of what I ordered I am really at a loss of words at the literal non existant customer service by this brand. I sent an email since receiving my order asking some basic questions and not a single person has bothered answering me over 3 weeks later but not problem blowing up my email with endless spam/marketing. I have purchased from small to the most high end of companies kn my life and have yet to ever experience such a thing. For that reason in a time of endless options I wont continie to support a company that doesnt appreciate the business their customers give them. God forbid anyone ever have an actual order issue, good luck reaching anyone. Really makes me feel like this is scam company with all false reviews now quite honestly per this very unprofessional behavior!Diana N.

To start, I am Asian (Korean) and 20 years old. I've used Rogaine for women and other hair products that contain minoxidil as their active ingredient so I am aware that hair shedding the first couple of weeks is expected, but the Keranique system almost made me go bald. Brushing my hair, taking a shower, even just running my fingers through my hair and I would end up with chunks of my hair falling out. Prior to using this kit, I had not used any hair growth treatments (I had used Rogaine for Woman a year prior but stopped because there was no sign of improvement) so I knew that the cause for the severe amount of hair loss I was experiencing was from Keranique's 4 step kit (shampoo, conditioner, hair growth spray, and a leave-in hair conditioning spray). I couldn't take the shedding anymore. I am not kidding you, this was the worst hair regrowth product I have ever used. I ended up searching for PRP injections where I live and got 3 sessions of PRP injections into my scalp over the span of 3 months. PRP INJECTION saved my hair. I pretty much re-grew all the hair that I had lost from the Keranique system. I am NEVER using anything with minoxidil on my scalp ever again. Save your money and either get PRP injections or use other hair growth products that DON'T contain minoxidil. (Duration of using Keranique was for almost 3 months, and saw absolutely no growth).Mia R.

Have only been using it for a little over 30 days. I purchased it because I am experiencing severe hair loss from having Covid. Hair loss has seemed to slow down but my hairdresser brought to my attention the fine print notice that once you discontinue use of the product, hair loss will return. Now I'm afraid to continue using it. Before Covid, I had no issues with hair loss and had healthy medium to thick hair. I'm hoping that once hair starts to regrow, I won't need to use products designed for hair loss.Teresa B.

As I watched my hair grey and get thinner, I tried a number of products and it was only good luck that had me come across Keranique Hair Regrowth Treatment in a convenient "squirt" bottle, small enough to drop into a purse or overnight bag. After the first bottle I noticed that my hair appeared to be filling in the places I was treating! This product doesn't give overnight results but stay with it, because the results do come with steady use as instructed on the container. Friends have even noted that my hair appears to be less thin!Rochelle P

I usually don’t write product reviews, although I read and rely on them. That’s why I decided to write this one to let others like me know about my experience with Viviscal.
I am 63 and long past menopause. My hair has always been very fine, but I have a lot of it so I never had reason to be worried about hair loss. Until, that is, my hair started to fall out at an alarming rate. After every shower, there would be a lot of hair in the comb, which never happened before. I was very upset.
I don’t remember how I first discovered Viviscal, probably just on-line research. After I was already taking it , I went to see my dermatologist about the hair loss issue. She said she was taking Viviscal Pro, and it was amazing (she is Indian and has gorgeous hair). She explained about the ingredients and how it didn’t contain anything harmful, so I switched from Viviscal Regular to Pro, and continued taking it.
Now I’ve been on it for about four months, and I’m soo pleased! The hair loss has stopped – I’m not kidding, it just stopped. My hair also seems thicker (not the individual hairs but the amount of hair) and I can even wear it a bit longer. I also notice – weirdly and maybe tmi – that I have to shave my legs more often because the hair grows faster. But hey, small price to pay imo. Overall, for me this product unquestionably works extremely well.Marina

I don't really do reviews but I have to for this product. After the first month, my nails had grown quite a bit and my skin actually improved, a positive side effect I guess. I'm almost halfway through my second month so here is my own personal experience. My eyebrows have grown back in spots where overzealous threaders took too much off the ends of my eyebrows. Baby hairs around the hair line are back, hair is feeling healthy, full and shiny and it's growing. My hairdresser commented had how healthy my hair felt. Your hair in other places will grow too. Does it taste great, slightly fishy but if you take them and drink water immediately to me it's a small price to pay for the results.Ann

PLEASE READ this before you decide on this hair growth product! THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE! I've used the red box viviscal with the marine complex for the last 3 1/2 years. Always works- does take at least 3 months to notice, but it is noticeable. Plus my skin doesn't break out. The pink box- with a new collagen complex, made my hair fall out like crazy. I got these in may- 1/2 off sale and I was wondering why the volume of hair was noticeably thinner. THIS is the difference! I already take collagen pills. I didn't notice the labor and formula was not the same. I quit these and went back to the original. My hair is growing back now. Thank you ulta for taking the other box back. What a waste!!Dragonqueen 65

I have never used any kind of hair growth serum so far and I’m very peculiar when it comes to my hair. But recently, I gave it a shot for pureauty naturals newly launched orange scented Biotin Hair Growth Serum and I must say that I’m pretty much impressed. I have very thick long hair and after using about a week I could see some changes in my hair. My hair became more soft and looks more healthier than it used to be. I'll definitely continue to use it to see other benefits like hair growth and strengthening. I would surely recommend this product for those who struggle with hair related problems!arsha.r

I am very happy with the new product, Biotin hair serum, @pureauty_naturals. Every night I massage my scalp to improve circulation and absorption of the product, it contain ingredients that moisturize and refresh my scalp, like peppermint that leaves a minty sensation in my scalp that feels really good. The ingredients in Biotin hair serum significantly improve the condition of my scalp, love it.magdoli

Number 1, I really like that this product doesn't make my scalp greasy when I apply it. It soaks right in. It has a nice peppermint smell to it that makes my scalp tingle in a pleasant way. I have really dry hair and it says to apply to the ends with damp hair. My hair hasn't been as tangly because of it. I just started using this. I cant wait to see the results after a month.shelly

Sorry to say this shampoo made my scalp burn! I used it twice, and realized I could not use it again. My husband is using it, and it doesn't affect him the way it affected me. I do think it does make hair look a little thicker. Would not purchase again., too pricey, and my husband is not interested in my buying it for him.Tabatha

I've been using this along with the conditioner for about 6 months and have noticed an improvement in my hairline. Works better than Nioxin and other hair loss shampoos that are full of harsh ingredients.juliana.m

Received yesterday, smaller amount than expected, but received, but got a 5.00 discount. So great amount for the price! It has made my hair silky smooth, with great manageability. Look forward to the compliments to come, an hopefully more hair too follow? Either way i like the product an would recommend Scott.scottq42

Great product, it helps my thinning hair from falling further, great smell too. I used Pura D'or Hair thinning therapy energizing scalp serum after my conditioner. Both of this works very well went I am done with my towel dried hair. Do try, really worth the money, please leave it on your hair for 2 minutes when using this conditioner.iHerb Customer

I love the results of this product. It smells so good and the texture is really thick and gets into my hair so I can rub it in and keep it there. I leave on for 2 minutes and then arrange and my hair feels so soft and smooth afterwards. I have definitely seen a small improvement in my hair then Since starting this product a few months ago. It has so many great ingredients that are all labeled on the front and the rest on the back. This product does not affect the coloring of my hair which I really like. The ends of my hair are not as dry and discolored as before. I don't see as many split ends as well. My hair is thicker and healthier.melly442

I have been using this conditioner for several months now and I must say, I'm still enjoying it! It's lightweight, doesn't weigh my fine hair down, yet successfully detailed and nourishes my heavy highlighted blonde hair, which tends to become a tangled mess after a thorough shampooing. It rinses off easily, leaving no weird greasy residue, and my hair is bouncy and healthy looking after using. I love this brand and have been a fan for years. I will repurchase 100%! Thanks Influenster for sending me this awesome find, complimentary, for this honest review!!! All opinions are my own.lacey.h

I spent a few hundred dollars and used a these products exclusively in November/December 2017. A few weeks into my new routine, I started noticing tons of breakage and scalp sores. I took the advice of my MP, added in an oil and a mask to combat the breakage and soothe my scalp… A few weeks later, my husband pointed out my rapidly thinning hair and bald spots appearing. I immediately stopped using ALL Monat products went to a doctor. The doctor advised that the new hair products severely damaged my scalp by causing a growth of bacteria and gave me steroids and some medicated rinses. I also went to my stylist who informed me that my scalp looked like I had chemical/acid burns and that Monat products completely fried chunks of my hair off. Now, I didn't go from using low quality drug store products on my hair to Monat, I don't have a hormonal imbalance, I don't have allergies to common products, I don't have a vendetta against MLM's or seeing people "succeed", it's not my water – we have a very high end water system in my house, and I certainly don't sell competing brands (I'm a teacher, not a stylist). I was using HIGH quality salon brands and took excellent care of my hair before switching. Since Nov/Dec 2017, I've had to cut off at least 8 inches, use medicated rinses, do expensive treatments at salons. 10 months later, and my scalp is still itchy and inflamed, I'm still experiencing severe breakage and fall out, my bald spots have filled in ever so slightly, but I'm now experiencing NEW bald spots. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of other people experiencing similar issues from these products and the company is not taking responsibility. If you're reading this considering buying Monat products, just say "NO"; do yourself a favor and go spend your money on professional salon products which will even be cheaper than Monat.jessica.h

This shampoo, along with the conditioner, did seem to help the regrowth of my hair a little bit. I believe it does do it's job. However, I find it to be very expensive compared to other hair growth brands like Bosley for instance. I was a VIP member for Monat so I even got the discount and with shipping the system was often over $100. Great products, just not necessarily worth the price I'm comparison to other similar systems on the market. I will note for people reading this review that my hair is thin and fine. The thinnest part of my hair is on top. Note that I am not very photogenic. I also recently started using a different shampoo so this picture may be a mix of results. Hair is unstyled, but recently washed in this picture.kaitlyn.m

For me personally this shampoo did not work for my hair type AT ALL. It made my hair feel like complete straw and made it extra knotty frizzy. I believe it just dried out my hair and that it just was not the right shampoo for me personally. However, this shampoo worked great for someone that I know in helping them eliminate dandruff. So it all depends on your hair type/ issues you are trying to correct.jill.c

Shedavi Hair Growth Vitamin is the best hair vitamin on the market. After one week and a half, my hair felt thicker and my hair shedding was minimal. Before making a purchase, I researched all the ingredients (the Proprietary Blend which helps with hormonal conditions) and the dosage of biotin. All of the ingredients seemed to be very well balanced. My reasons for taking these vitamins is that back in 2003, my Rheumatologist prescribed the medication Celebrex, which made my hair fall out in handfulls in three and half months. I had a thick head of hair 3/4 down my back and lost half the volume. I was very devastated and immediately stopped taking the medication. My Internist recommended that I take a hair vitamin which was GNC Hair, Skin and Nails. For years, it helped and I would try their vitamin packs. The problem with GNC is that every couple of years, they would discontinue what was working for me and introduce something new which would not work so well. I had increased my biotin dosage which also worked for awhile, but I needed something more. With menopause, my hair started to shed a lot again. I began taking Grape Seed Extract…200 mg per day which helped a lot and made my hair feel thicker. Although my hair is half way down my back, I still wanted to find a good hair vitamin so that my hair would get thicker, especially the thinned section at the top back of my head which needs the the most help. I don't remember how I came across Shedavi Hair Vitamins, but I certainly thank God I did. I have read every review and looked at all the before and after photos. Then I made my purchase. By June 1, it will be two months of my taking the vitamins. I do have five bottles in my inventory. I have always been a Hair Person. My hair is salt and pepper…a little more salt than pepper, and I am always getting complements how beautiful my hair is….nice and thick, but they don't know how much I struggle to keep my hair on my head. I do use a sulfate free shampoo, a very good deep conditioner and L'anza Keratin Healing Oil which is transparent for my salt and pepper hair. I have just purchased Shedavi's Hair Leave In Conditioner which would replace the one I am currently using. Ladies, be careful taking medications. Always check the FDA website for the complete list of side effects of your medication because the PHARMACY only gives you a partial list. If one the side effects is alopecia, ask your doctor to switch to another medication especially if it is not a life or death diagnosis. Once that Pandora Box is opened, your body will always be sensitive to a lot of those medications. At least, Be Aware!!! I know that this review is very long, but I wanted to share my experience which might help someone else. I certainly wished that there was someone to forewarn me. To sum it up, I will be taking Shedavi Hair Vitamins for the rest of my life, and I hope to do the same with the Shedavi Hair Leave In Conditioner.Lucinda G.

I have only been taking this supplement a month and can already see a change happening! Baby fuzzies all over. Part is narrowing. And I'm no longer embarrassed that my scalp is showing through the fine (what was left) of my hair. I'm thrilled. Already ordered two months more. My hair started thinning at menopause and over the years I have tried other supplements with zero results. Won't even consider minoxidil or other harsh products based on high cost and some scary negative reviews. FYI: Though it appears these products are targeted to women of color, I'm a white gal, and compared to other hair growth supplements I've researched, the natural ingredients in these vitamins really appealed to me. As an extra bonus, I am also noticing an improvement in my skin texture.Denise H.

My hair was shedding and I couldn't pin point the exact reason at first. Then as my hair continued to worsen, I located the cause. It was lack of nutrients and stress. Was trying out other hair growth vitamins and some seemed to work, but not to my satisfaction. Then, I stumbled upon Shedavi, read the exotic ingredients did a little research and said what the heck, why not? Now I can't say I noticed a significant improvement in 2 weeks like others said they did. But will say I have noticed an improvement overall that just needed time. Which would make sense considering I was lacking the proper nutrients and stressing. The vitamins needed time to really get in my system and do its job. While taking the vitamins, I started working on eating more and a bit better-no promises on that one, drinking water and get some exercise in. When I started doing those, that's when I noticed the changes really kick in. Face is trying to clear up better. Hair is growing on my head in areas I didn't even know about or apparently forgotten about. Areas where my hair was thin, appears to be filling in and areas that were pretty much bald are filling in. Started taking the pills around late September I believe and now it's early December. Will say between mid October to mid November is when I noticed the difference for me. All it requires is continuation and patience. It's a slow process; but also keep in mind that if your hair is falling out, it didn't just decide to detach itself from the scalp in 24 hrs. Something overtime caused it to start falling out and figured that was the last resort to getting your attention about your health. Overall, I do like. And as long as I'm able to afford this product and see the positive changes it's having on my overall health, I'll continue. 🙂Kenecia J.

You can feel the difference immediately, the first shampoo and conditioner and my hair feels heavier and smells beautiful. I congratulate your brand. By far you are the best. Love all your products. First classNununu

I had hair loss problem for a long time. Every time wash, comb and blow dry my hairs, lots of hair fell off. Sometime I’m worried of being bald one day. I tried this product last two 6wks. My hairs look healthier and less hair loss even I sometimes forgot to apply it. I still lost hairs but the amount is definitely less. This product will not help u completely stop losing hairs but it helps to reduce the amount.Rach

This did not help my hair at all. I feel like it was one of those products that you really want them to work and have high hopes since its a good brand but unfortunately it did nothing, absolutely nothing, neither good nether bad. Very disappointing and i really believed the reviews but most probably are influencers getting paid to say good things about it.inasal

I noticed a huge different after three weeks of using this product. We’ll worth the money. I was shedding hair like crazy I was becoming self conscious of my hair. I’m only 29 and I shouldn’t be losing my hair the way I was. Boy let me tell you this stuff does it’s job. My hair feels alive again. It feels fuller, it feels great! I will be buying this product again and again. I’m happy with my hair line that’s grown.Alexandria

Been using this for about two months now. I am 41 and my hair started falling and thinning after my preganancies- my children are 16 and 12 so you figure for how long I have been sufering seeing my hair come off in shunks every time I shampoo. I have a spot of thinning hair in one of my temples and even though it runs in the family is still concerning. I started with gray hair also and I started panicking when I could see my scalp through my thinning hair on the crown area right where my gray hair is growing. I can see dozens of baby hairs right where I apply the product and I am planning on using it for now on. Now, the reason why I am here is because I first purchased this directly from Keranique is the price is ridiculous for the three month supply that doesn't last three months anyways!!! So from now on I buying from Ulta and I can save and get rewards at the same time.Curlymomoftwo
