In my early 20s, I kickstarted my search for products that could strengthen and thicken my hair. I was on the hunt for shampoos, serums, or supplements that don't break the bank!đź’°
After trying what felt like a lion’s share of products on the market, I finally found a winner. I also learned a lot about the benefits from different products. Keep reading to discover my holy grail for thin hair:
Supplements work from within to make hair denser, stronger at the root
I’ve done my research into the power of supplements to get thicker looking hair, and biotin comes up a lot. Honestly, every time I’ve purchased a generic version from the store, I’ve never seen results.
Then, I found MyBiotin® ProClinical, but it isn’t your basic biotin. It’s backed by clinical studies and features a unique biotin matrix called MB40X™, which blends 2 powerful ingredients together: Magnesium Biotinate and Arginine Silicate. This combination makes the formula 40x more biosoluble than ordinary biotin! 💪
Translation? You’re more likely to actually see results including thicker hair (and glowy skin from astaxanthin). MyBiotin® addresses the root cause of thin hair and maintains healthy, strong hair follicles for the long-term, whereas shampoos and serums don’t. ✨
By week 12, users are expected to see a 20% increase in thickness, according to the brand. In just a few weeks, I saw baby hairs growing in around my hairline, and it felt noticeably stronger. The cherry on top was that I felt like I was finally achieving the hair my mom promised I’d have!
MyBiotin® ProClinical costs $39.95 for a 30-day supply, but they also offer a 10% off subscribe & save option, plus a 60-day money back guarantee.
Specialty thickening shampoos temporarily boost thickness, but may not work as a long-term solution
Pre-MyBiotin®, thickening shampoos lined the shelves of my shower. But after using them for a while with no results, I realized there are more limitations to thickening shampoos than I thought! For starters, shampoos work primarily on the surface of your hair, which may provide temporary volume, but they’re unlikely to have a long-term effect. On the other hand, MyBiotin® nourishes hair from the inside out.
Specialty shampoos can get pricey, too: many of these specialty shampoos can cost upwards of $50+ (you might even be throwing down a Benjamin for a shampoo & conditioner duo). This is all great news to me–I’m loyal to my current shampoo, and I wouldn’t want to ditch it.
Serums are popular, but I don’t love the constant upkeep
You’ve probably considered buying a thickening hair serum at some point–they’re everywhere! But they’re also expensive (I’ve seen many that cost around $150). I’m also not crazy about their sticky texture and how greasy they leave my hair.
Like shampoos, serums offer temporary improvements in density, but they don’t help hair grow in thicker like MyBiotin® does. Many serums work by coating each strand to add volume, but they require continuous application to maintain the appearance of fuller hair.
Additionally, Purity Products includes astaxanthin in their formula, a powerful antioxidant (it’s said to be 6000x more powerful than vitamin C!) which contributes to bright skin and lessened wrinkles. Can your shampoos or serums do that? 🍊
The Verdict
When it comes to combating thin hair, Purity Products' MyBiotin® ProClinical outshines shampoos and serums in terms of both effectiveness and cost-efficiency. And you won’t have to give up or replace any of your fave products, either.
MyBiotin® can be paired with hair-thickening shampoos and serums for best results, but if you’re looking to flaunt the luscious hair of your dreams, MyBiotin® ProClinical should definitely be the foundation of your hair routine!
