Aging doesn’t just hit your skin or face — it can also affect your hair. Before you turn to medical treatments to thicken up your locks, reach for this Nutrafol Root Purifier Shampoo, which is formulated by physicians to revitalize your scalp and bring your hair back to life.

This shampoo is designed to deeply cleanse, hydrate and nourish your scalp and balance oil production. It includes ingredients like prebiotics, vegan protein and biosurfactant (which facilitates nutrient transport) which help strengthen your scalp barrier to help you achieve fuller and thicker locks.

While Nutrafol states that this shampoo will not grow your hair, it will help balance your scalp microbiome to cultivate the optimal environment for healthy hair growth. It also helps improve the volume, strength and texture of your strands. Plus, it has a refreshing rosemary and mint scent.

Amazon reviewers with thinning hair have noticed a difference after using this shampoo for a few months. “I’m in my mid-fifties with thinning, baby fine hair. I started looking for moisture-rich shampoo solutions when I noticed my scalp was itchy,” says one reviewer. “This definitely adds texture to my hair. It also feels stronger (because it does feel thicker). I’m still in the throes of winter here, but I have noticed that my scalp doesn’t itch like it used to.”

A little bit of this shampoo goes a long way. Add a small dollop of it to your fingertips and massage it into your hair and scalp before rinsing. For even better results, you can pair it with Nutrafol’s Strand Defender Conditioner.

So, if you’re ready to revitalize your locks, give this Nutrafol Root Purifier Shampoo a try.
