We tested over 43 brands to find the BEST hair growth shampoo's that actually work.

By Kimberly Webber

(RBC) - It’s an age-old problem… quite literally! Thinning, balding heads of hair can start at a young age, but for most people, your hair starts to thin during the older side of life. Of course, for about as long as the world has had mirrors, we’ve been trying to figure out how to stop our hair from becoming thinner, more brittle, and ultimately falling out. 

Luckily, there are more than enough products to help us reinvigorate and rejuvenate our hair to its full potential. But how do you choose which products to try?

How do you know which will work and which won’t? That’s where we come in!

Hair Growth Shampoos & Conditioners are concentrated formulas filled with nutrients and peptides to help condition and activate hair growth. Of course, every formula is different and some shampoo/conditioners work a lot better than others.

We’ve tested dozens of hair growth products to determine our TOP FIVE choices. 

We compared effectiveness but also safety and price to make sure you find the hair growth product that’s right for you!

Let’s get started!

Effectiveness: 99%

Safety: 100%

Price: $

(Mixes with your favorite shampoo or conditioner!)

This is by far our favorite choice when it comes to a simple hair growth concentrate that can reinvigorate hair follicles by stimulating blood flow to the scalp, triggering more hair growth while thickening and strengthening your hair.

Unlike other products, this is a new concentrate that you ADD to your favorite shampoo & conditioner products. (No need to change your routine or products!)

Simply take your favorite shampoo, empty out a small portion, and pour the bloom+ concentrate in.

 Alphuara's BLOOM+ Concentrate is the first ever hair growth concentrate backed by over 30+ clinical trials and proven to regrow hair on your scalp, along with eyelashes and eyebrows too!

 Alphuara's BLOOM+ Concentrate is best for people with thinning hair, weak strands, brittle split ends, and unhealthy roots, and those looking for an all-in-one hair growth solution that actually works (with a 100% money-back guarantee for those who don't see results in 30 days).

Best of all, it was the only product on our list we found a special 50% off code, "SECRET50", use this code at checkout for 50% off! (please don't tell anyone, we don't want the code to get taken down.)

This made it one of the most affordable products on the market for one that actually works. Just a few drops everyday can regrow and strengthen your hair in weeks!

Effectiveness: 82%

Olaplex Bond Maintenance Shampoo uses a simple formula to aid in hair regeneration and strengthening. While we appreciate the effectiveness of this product, it is pricier compared to similar options like Alphaura and other brands which are more proven to regrow hair. However, if you're ready to invest in your hair care, it comes highly recommended.

Effectiveness: 81%

Safety: 82%

Price: $92/Month

Overall: B+

Revita Hair Density Shampoo is suitable for those starting their hair growth journey and looking for subtle improvements. While it doesn’t deliver results as pronounced as other products, which contain clinically proven ingredients, it serves as a reasonable option for initial hair care efforts.

Effectiveness: 80%

Safety: 80%

Price: $86/Month

Overall: B

Vegamour GRO Hair Shampoo offers a specialized approach, tailored to individual hair care needs such as health, shine, moisture, and renewal. Despite being an intriguing option, it is notably expensive and does not necessarily ensure enhanced hair growth.

Effectiveness: 80%

Safety: 80%

Price: $48/Month

Overall: B+

Arey Wash Shampoo is priced attractively and includes natural ingredients aimed at boosting hair density. While the price point and reviews are favorable, the results may not be as impressive as those achieved with other products. Comparable in price, Alphaura has garnered thousands of positive reviews and consistently delivers superior outcomes compared to The Ordinary and similar brands.

While we feel we recommended some great hair shampoo products to help rebuild hair follicles, activate roots, and strengthen your hair, we believe Alphaura's product was the top choice. We wanted to talk further with our investigative reporter Stephanie Marianne who helped create the rankings list and how Alphaura's Bloom+ worked for her. Stephanie tells the story.

Personally, I never believed in the effectiveness of hair re-growth, anti-baldness anything. “Time cannot be reversed,” I used to tell my friends. Too many of them have been tricked into buying some wild oil or shampoo just to find out it’s a waste of money. So I’ve avoided it at all costs.

But then my best friend, who I trust with my life, swore by Alphaura's BLOOM+ Concentrate For Shampoo. She would pour the bottle of BLOOM+ into her favorite shampoo.

After a few weeks, her hair looked thicker and fuller than ever before. She even had patches at the top of her forehead that seemed to have filled in quite nicely. It was even more impressive when she showed me the before and after images throughout the weeks of using Alphaura's Bloom+ Concentrate.

I had always been self-conscious about my thinning hair, so I begged her to let me borrow her Bloom+ concentrate, but instead she gave me a secret 50% off code, SECRET50, and I ordered my own BLOOM+ concentrate immediately. 

I received a package two days later and applied the concentrate into my 80% full shampoo bottle.

The application is simple, you use any shampoo or conditioner, and just empty the bottle a little bit, so that it has room to pour the concentrate into. Then you shake up the bottle and can use it everyday!

One bottle is meant to be used on 1 month worth of shampoo. So you can dose it accordingly to how often you shampoo. (I shampoo 5x a week)

BUT HOW DOES ALPHAURA'S BLOOM+ CONCENTRATE WORK?

I, of course, was expecting immediate results, but it actually takes a few weeks to see real results. In the meantime, I started to do my research to find out how Alphaura's concentrate works and how it differentiates itself from other concentrate growth products. 

A combination of essential oils, peptides, and nutrients help not only strengthen hair but reactivate roots that have stopped growing long ago…

It’s quite simple, just as our bodies can exert less energy when we get older (remember staying up all night in your twenties?), our hair follows a similar pattern. When old hairs fall out, typically a new root is triggered and energy is spent building a new hair follicle. However, the older we get, the less energy is distributed to these roots. That’s when thinning and balding occur.

The key to a fuller head of hair starts with reactivating your roots, and that’s exactly what Alphaura's BLOOM+ concentrate aims to do. With a Hair Growth Complex filled with DHT Blockers, Argan Oil, Castor Oil, Silk Protein, & many more proven ingredients, BLOOM+ is the only concentrate that uses the power of science to guarantee you see hair growth.

So, finally, after 4 weeks, I decided to check if I could see results… and wow! The areas of my hair that were previously patchy began to fill out. Plus my hair felt fuller and stronger. I was simply amazed at how good my hair felt. 

By far, Alphaura's BLOOM+ Concentrate, is the safest and most effective hair growth concentrate EVER.

I’ve used Alphaura's concentrate for over six months and it has done wonders! -Carrie, 44

This is the trick for anyone with thinning hair. Truly a life saver! -Barb, 40

By week 6 I was a completely changed woman because of Alphaura's Bloom+ concentrate. -Melanie, 55
