PURA D'OR 16 Oz Hair Thinning Therapy Biotin Shampoo - ORIGINAL Scent - CLINICALLY TESTED Effective Results, Herbal Blend Hair Thickening Products For Women & Men, Color Safe Routine Shampoo

I've waited to write this review after using this shampoo as directed for about 2 1/2 months. At the beginning of Nov. I began losing large amounts of hair due to a massive hormone imbalance. We're talking like a ping pong ball sized wad of hair every time I showered. My hair was visibly getting thin at my temples & hairline & I proceeded to freak out-so I bought this shampoo. My husband had been using Bosley's shampo & cond., but the ingredient list is massive (full of chemicals). I wanted something more natural w/better ingredients, which is why I chose Purad'or. I bought the lavender vanilla scent, which honestly has next to no smell at all (but that's ok). It is very mild smelling w/no chemical smell at all. It's a pinkish gel consistency-not very thick, but not super watery either. 1 pump definitely gets your whole head. It DOES lather up some, but not like the typical soap shampoos. Here's the deal though: YOU MUST LEAVE IT ON FOR 2 MIN. before rinsing out. Now, I'm very impatient, so it's annoying to do, but I just count & do some squats in the shower (might as well get some exercise in, right)? If you don't leave it on 2 min., I notice my hair was more tangly. When I leave it on for the full 2 min., when I rinse, my hair is much more soft & detangled. It has not dried out my hair or my scalp at all. No irritation to the scalp at all (& I have very sensitive skin). I use my own preferred conditioner because I have color treated hair. NOTE: it will strip your color out some-so beware of that, esp. if you use semi-permanent hairdye like me). NOTE: YOU WILL NOT SEE A DIFFERENCE UNTIL YOU'VE USED IT AS DIRECTED FOR A MONTH. At week 2, I saw no difference at all & was getting really discouraged. Then after week 3 I started noticing less fall out & now at 6 weeks, I'm losing way less hair each washing. It went from a big wad of hair to maybe the size of a pea. I waited to review until it was this way consistently & I can honestly say, I have lost this small amount of hair for over a week now. I'm now losing about the same amount I was before all of my hormone issues. It does make your hair seem thicker as well, which also helps. I have never tried the gold label one, so I don't know about the smell of that one, but this blue bottle one that's lavender vanilla has no gross chemical or woodsy smell like some have mentioned on here. It just smells very mildly flowery, but the scent disappears quickly. I will continue to use it, maybe forever, because it's helping me lose less hair. I also take hair vitamins & use a growth scalp oil daily now too, so there's also that. I highly recommend this shampoo though if your hair is thinning & you want a more natural approach without a million chemicals in it.

I love this shampoo. I have thinning hair and this is helping a lot.

I like this shampoo. It seems to have slowed my hair loss. It smells good - not medicinal. My hair feels silky as if I used conditioner. I don't use as much of this product as I have other shampoos.

I love this shampoo it makes my hair feel and look thicker. I have been using this shampoo for years and there are different variations of this shampoo. I have tried all of them and they all gave me good results.

I've only been using it for three and a half weeks, but in that time there has been a noticeable (if minor) advance in my hairline of about 5 millimeters. [This can be relatively easily monitored by looking where the long hairs join the short hairs.] There also are a few stray, but very thin, hairs sprouting on parts of my forehead/scalp that have been bald for decades. I don't think that it is yet very visible to someone who isn't intensively studying my hairline, but I've noticed the difference when I look in the mirror.I first started to notice changes after about two weeks of usage, and will monitor continuing changes over the next weeks and months, with hope that as the DHT blockers have a chance to revive additional dormant hair follicles. My primary focus is on the advancing hairline, since that is easiest to monitor, but I have a feeling that the hair on my scalp is also a little bit thicker than it had been.I've given 4 stars because the advance in my hairline so far has been relatively modest, but will adjust it to five stars if I continue to have hair grow where none has grown for so long.***************************************************************************************************************************I've now used it for six months. The hairline has advanced about two centimeters. The hair on my scalp is noticeably thicker -- when it started to grow in I could feel short 'fur like' hair across my scalp, hidden by the longer hairs. I no longer see the thinning spot at the back of my hair.To be fair, the advance has slowed (I don't think it has completely stopped, but there are just a few short hairs sprouting at the edge of my hairline.) I've also seen an increase in hairs dropping when I shampoo. Since these are disproportionately shorter hairs, and my hair still looks a lot thicker, my sense is that these are the newly sprouted hairs falling out when the follicles go into rest sooner than the other ones do. This makes sense since an increased pattern of resting is how follicles shift to no longer growing hair. There's no reason why the reverse shouldn't be true too.) I remain pleased with the results.

The product is very good, wife loves it, but the product is only available via the "FRESH" department, which I presumed was part of the Amazon Company of which I pay $139.00 per year to be a "PRIME MEMBER", which does not have any significance with the "FRESH" department due to there is a $9.95 "SERVICE FEE" built into the ordering process. What Service is the "FRESH" department providing that I am already getting as a "PRIME MEMBER", what is the "FRESH department doing that is any difference as to what Amazon is already providing. Also, they are asking for a $5.00 "GROCERY TIP" as well during the ordering process which adds an extra $14.95 to the "FRESH" order. I am surprised that Amazon is allowing this tactic to occur, Amazon should be very careful that the "FRESH" department is trying to get "EXTRA" monies from the AMAZON PRIME MEMEBERS which I am sure I not the only one that feels this way.

Excellent product we have purchased before from TJ Max and now we are buying with Amazon.
