01

A shampoo for hair that looks thinner

Thinning hair is one of the most common concerns our salon partners hear about: hair that feels finer, more hair in the drain after washing, or products already tried without the result you hoped for.

The Hair Growth Stimulating Shampoo cleanses and cares for the scalp. With regular use, hair can look and feel stronger, thicker and fuller.

02

What to look for in a shampoo for thinning hair

Three things matter most.

1

Considered ingredients

Actives chosen for scalp and hair care, not only a fragrance and a promise.

2

Scalp care

A formula that cares for the scalp, where hair grows.

3

Gentle enough for daily use

Sulphate-free cleansing keeps the scalp comfortable, so you can stay consistent.

03

What the Hair Growth Stimulating Shampoo does

It cleanses gently, helps reduce dandruff and flaking, nourishes the scalp and helps hair look and feel fuller.

04

When to see a doctor first

If hair loss is sudden, patchy or comes with scalp symptoms, see a doctor before starting any routine. A cosmetic shampoo does not treat medical conditions.

05

How long before you notice a difference

Hair grows slowly. Give it twelve weeks at minimum, and judge it at three to six months of consistent use.

  1. Week 1

    Wash with the shampoo and leave it on for the full contact time.

  2. Weeks 2 to 4

    The scalp feels cleaner and calmer. Keep the order of the steps.

  3. Weeks 8 to 12

    Compare photos. This is when most people first notice a change.

  4. Months 3 to 6

    The typical window to judge results.

When shampoo alone is not enough

A shampoo works at the scalp surface. For a fuller routine, add the conditioner for the lengths and the leave-in Growth Lotion, applied directly to thinning areas.

Questions answered

Frequently asked

Still unsure? Ask at either salon, or send us a message.

What are the key ingredients in this shampoo?

Caffeine, Ecklonia cava extract, EGCG and niacinamide, in a gentle, sulphate-free base. The full ingredient list is on the product page.

Does it treat hair loss?

No. It is a cosmetic product, not a medicine. It cares for the scalp and helps hair look and feel fuller.

Can I use this if I am already seeing a doctor about hair loss?

It is a cosmetic product, so it can generally be used alongside medical treatment. Check with your doctor or dermatologist if you are on a prescribed treatment.

When should I see a doctor instead?

If hair loss is sudden or patchy, or your scalp is sore, red or inflamed, see a doctor or dermatologist first. These are cosmetic products, not medicines, and they do not treat medical conditions.
