Volumizing Biotin Shampoo and Conditioner Set – Sulfate Free Shampoo and Conditioner for Dry Damaged Hair Care – Thinning Hair Shampoo and Conditioner with Nourishing Biotin and Rosemary Oil (8oz)

7 months later – Safe usage for curly girl
My hair is a 2b naturally curly, and have been using the curly girl method for about 10 months. I’ve been using this Biotin shampoo and conditioner set for about 7 months now and am still currently using this product. My hair was dry, thin, damaged, and I had abnormally large clumps of hair falling out at the start of using this. 7 months later, here are my observations of this shampoo and conditioner set:SMELL of BOTH Shampoo and Conditioner:I don’t particularly dislike or like the smell, because it’s not fragrant or strong. Usually, I apply a different leave-in conditioner to my hair after every wash anyways. This works well for me because I AM trying to avoid strong fragrances and perfumes in my hair while I’ve been trying to recover my hair.SHAMPOO Review:A small amount of the shampoo lathers up REAL well. I’m surprised that it doesn’t have sulfates because it sure suds like it does. But however the ingredients without sulfates are lathering up, what matters is that it’s gentle enough but cleans well – and it does do that. Sometimes, when my scalp builds up too much oils though (3 days and onwards), the first shampooing is not as sudsy. After I rinse, the second shampooing I apply is SUPER sudsy. And you don’t need to use too much shampoo. Play around with the amount to use. Even when I had long hair, I only needed about a quarter size. Now that my hair is shoulder length, I use maybe a nickel size amount or less of shampoo.Although I’ve tried the low-poo or no-poo curly girl method (with expensive non-biotin hair wash), it’s just never worked well for me when I don’t wash my hair more than every 2 days. NOT washing my hair, or not having a clean enough scalp is actually what makes my hair fall out more, in my opinion. So, choosing this shampoo was rather risky at first. I didn’t know whether or not it’d be too drying or too stripping of my natural oils if I were to shampoo every 2 days like I wanted. I STILL CAN’T TELL YOU whether or not about that though because I’ve been using a different nourishing leave-in conditioner every time after I wash my hair.What I can tell you is that after 7 months of using this biotin shampoo, my hair has been falling out less. It took maybe 2+ months for me to actually notice less hair falling into my drain. It wasn’t a dramatic difference though. It was super slow and gradual. I took pictures of my drain every time I washed my hair just to see the difference in hair fall. If I were to compare day 1 and day 80, I’d be able to tell the difference. But I would not be able to tell the difference between day 30 with day 40 or something like that. When I look in the mirror now, there aren’t glowing bald spots or widening scalp gaps staring back at me – and I’m extremely happy with that.CONDITIONER Review:I’ve been using this side-by-side with the biotin shampoo. Because it doesn’t have silicones, I use it on my scalp and only my scalp… for a reason. This conditioner is just not smooth enough (because it doesn’t have silicones), nor does it coat my hair evenly enough unless I use a much larger amount than a quarter size. I don’t want to waste the conditioner, so I only use a nickel size amount in my scalp, then a different non-silicone conditioner throughout the rest of my hair (one that’s cheaper that I don’t care about wasting or using more of). I figure there’s biotin in the conditioner too so it’d be good for the scalp. Since it doesn’t have silicone, there isn’t much buildup to the scalp. And since I wash my hair every 2 days, I really don’t have much buildup to worry about anyways.However, I have used this conditioner throughout my whole hair for a short while in the beginning. I don’t really like it. Besides feeling like I’m using way too much conditioner from this bottle and thus wasting it, I just didn’t feel that it detangled or smoothened my hair enough. Once again, I use a leave-in conditioner after every hair wash, so I can’t say how this biotin conditioner is in my hair after drying.FINAL THOUGHTS:Overall, I do like this particular brand of Biotin shampoo and conditioner. The biggest highlights for me after using the set for 7 months is that 1. the shampoo feels cleansing enough if I wash every 2 days, 2. the shampoo feels gentle enough for a curly girl (meaning it doesn’t feel like it’s stripping excessive amount of oils cuz we curly ppl have hair that’s drier than straight-haired ppl with no exceptions), 3. the conditioner doesn’t build up in my scalp, and 4. it makes me feel better to have a non-silicone biotin conditioner that I can apply directly to my scalp. After 7 months of using this, I don’t want to try a different brand because not only am I tired of trying and keeping track of different products every few months, but because I feel like this does work on me.Full disclosure though, biotin shampoo and conditioner aren’t the only things I’ve been using to help with thickening and healthy hair. I’ve also installed an Aquabliss shower filter, which has helped my hair immensely as well. I’ve also been using an Apple Cider Vinegar shampoo and Ryo anti-hair loss shampoo/conditioner once a week or so, which I do not know if it has been helping, but I’m using to just finish it up. So really, I’m using this Biotin Shampoo and Conditioner set 2 times a week. I also haven’t applied a heated hair dryer nor any heating elements to my hair for 10 months now, so when I look at my healthy hair, I do think it’s really due to allowing my hair grow undamaged from excessive heat. But the thickening of the hair and less hair fall is probably from the biotin and the filtered shower water.

Reduced hair loss
My hair has been getting thinner over the past several years. I’m at the point where a scrunchie falls out. When I washed my hair, my hands would be covered in hairs. I only wash my hair 2-3 times a week. So I bought this. Within 3 uses, I noticed less hair loss. I’m almost through with my second set of shampoo/conditioner, but I haven’t noticed any new hair growth. I found maple holistics also has a rosemary one that advertises hair growth. So I’m gonna order that one next. The shampoo smells like essential oils. I like those aromas so I like the smell. It’s not very strong, but noticeable. The conditioner has almost no smell at all. I’d compare the smell to a fragrance free lotion.

Smells great, but that’s all.
I have very long wavy hair and it’s turning grey. I have been on the hunt for a better shampoo to help my hair look alive and not weighed down. This peppermint shampoo smelled great, but didn’t lather very well so I had to use a lot of product to clean and condition my hair. The biggest issue with this set, I was unable to brush my hair right out of the shower. It made my hair squeaky clean bur the conditioner did not pick up the slack. I usually was and condition my hair before I start my actual shower and I let the conditioner set for a good 10 minutes and rinse my hair in cool water at the end. So my journey goes on. I have been donating all my trial shampoo and conditioner sets to coworkers. It really depends on hair type or maybe even length too, but this set did not work for me.

A great shampoo and conditioner!
From someone who suffers from hard water in my home and also someone who does have a history of dying my hair I can say that this product works very well. Not only does it give my hair more natural volume. I do find that it makes my hair smooth and soft especially because I am trying to grow my hair out. I will say that the shampoo is for thin or thinning hair but since I do have more thick course hair I can say that it still does the job. My hair feels stronger is more shiney and smells great after I get out of the shower, adding a hair mask after use as well amps up the results and really is a good fit within any hair routine in my opinion.

I’ve purchased it 3 times, for myself and how often I shower it lasts around 2-3 months for short hair. I started getting used to the earthy smell and I love it now. I have little hairs sprouting on my part so sometimes my hair looks a little frizzy, but it definitely stimulates regrowth more than the commercially marketed products.

Great products, love them!

I purchased this shampoo and conditioner before and loved it. When I reordered it again at roughly the same price as before…..I ended up getting half the size containers. Seriously!Was so disappointed to pay THAT much for a very small amount of shampoo and conditioner.Shame on you Amazon!
