Whether it’s from aging, stress, genetics, being post-partum or illness, hair loss and thinning sucks. Because minoxidil isn’t for everyone, one easy route to potentially retaining those locks is biotin shampoo. Luckily, we found a shampoo and conditioner bundle that reviewers say actually makes them feel like their hair is “breathing with new life,” with one even stating their scalp is “twice as thick in less than a month,” and it’s only $25. While results vary from person to person, it looks like so many users are seeing results with this affordable package.
This shampoo and conditioner set has helped so many build stronger strands, stymie shedding and give thicker, fuller head of hair.
Reviewers swear this is the combination that’ll help strengthen your hair, making it appear thicker and fuller over time with consistent use. It’s helped thicken hair for those with damaged and thin, brittle strands, and has been described as a “game-changer” during pregnancies.
“Best shampoo and conditioner I have used in years,” explains one reviewer. “I got pregnant a little over a year ago, and since then my hair has never been the same. […] Last night was my first use and I am beyond impressed. Not only did my hair feel a tad bit fuller in just one wash, but it is extremely soft and moisturized for the first time in over a year!” A month later, they updated their review to state they’re “even more impressed now,” and that they’re “noticing new hairs growing in, hair is in excellent shape, hair loss has basically stopped and it’s twice as thick in less than a month.”
“When I say I’ve tried EVERYTHING, to put some moisture and thickness back into my hair, that’s not an exaggeration,” says another reviewer. “From shampoo to gummies, and everything in between. To no avail. I used the biotin shampoo and conditioner yesterday, and once my hair dried (air dry), my hair was the thickest it’s been in a good while, with defined curls even. ”
To aptly sum up: “This stuff is no joke y’all...”
And here’s a protip recommended by user Saria McClean: if you pair this bundle with a scalp massaging brush, you″ll see optimal results in no time. Former HuffPost Shopping writer Haley Zovickian highly recommends using these sorts of brushes, crediting them for giving her the “cleanest hair of my life.”

“Bought this product several months back. I have curly/wavy hair. I’m a mom of 5 with kids in college work 3 jobs to pay for this. A handicapped husband. I do all cooking and cleaning ect. Yall get it. I was losing my hair the stress is real. I even had a couple balding spots. My hair has grown into those spots. I’ve gained an inch on my hair if not more! It’s amazing my hair is like breathing with new life. The frizz and breakage almost gone. I’ll be continuing to purchase this product so I can feel at the least my hair looks great and feels amazing. Thank you for creating this!” — Nicole Yarborough
“Best shampoo and conditioner I have used in years! I got pregnant a little over a year ago, and since then my hair has never been the same. All the products I had used for years to keep it healthy, soft and long stopped working. On top of all that I decided to start dying it myself (blonde) and anyone who has attempted to do blonde themselves knows... I finally got it the color I wanted, but I’ve noticed my already thinning hair was falling out more and more. I’ve tried too many moisture renewal, damage repair, thickening, anti hair loss products to count over thse last year with absolutely no results. So finding this product and reading reviews I was excited to try this to slow down my hair loss and give me some volume. Last night was my first use and I am beyond impressed. Not only did my hair feel a tad bit fuller in just one wash, but it is extremely soft and moisturized for the first time in over a year! […]
UPDATE: 20 DAYS LATER
Even more impressed now! I’m already noticing new hairs growing in, hair is in excellent shape, hair loss has basically stopped, and it’s twice as thick in less than a month. This stuff is no joke y’all... Before I was losing clumps of hair everytime I brushed or washed it. I lose MAYBE 5-10 strands now every shower. Which is HUGE for me. I’m going to stock up on this stuff cause I have found my forever shampoo and conditioner!” — Saria McLean (This review has been edited for length. Read the full review.)
“When I say I’ve tried EVERYTHING, to put some moisture and thickness back into my hair, that’s not an exaggeration. From shampoo to gummies, and everything in between. To no avail. I used the biotin shampoo and conditioner yesterday, and once my hair dried (air dry), my hair was the thickest it’s been in a good while, with defined curls even. Woke up this morning, and it’s still easy to run my fingers through, the curls aren’t all mashed up and whatnot, from sleeping on them. And it’s soft...probably the softest it’s also been in a good while. Not fond of the shampoo scent, but the conditioner makes up for it, it smells nice. The price is a little much for my taste, to buy the set over and over, but you get what you pay for, so I reckon it’s worth it. As much as I wanna keep buying this particular set every time I run out, I at the very least, will be buying the cheaper version with the same ingredients. (I’m not posting the other brand, out of respect for bellisso.) All in all, good job! 🤌💯” — Sheena Robinson
“I don’t normally write reviews and when I do, it’s normally because there is something wrong with the product and I was very unhappy. So when I tell you this shampoo and conditioner after just one use has made my hair come back to life and feel like I just left a very expensive salon please believe I am giving you the truth!! Buy this shampoo and conditioner, you will not regret it!! 🥰” — Karen Miller

A budget-friendly scrub with soothing ingredients
Dermatologists previously explained to us the potential hair growth benefits of using a scalp scrub, a simple product addition that, while not normally a direct hair growth treatment, does help create more favorable conditions for optimal hair growth.
"Soothing ingredients like aloe, tea tree, or peppermint help calm irritation and support a balanced scalp environment," board-certified dermatologist Dr. Divya Shokeen previously said. She also said she prefers sugar-based scrubs over large, coarse physical exfoliants because they dissolve easily with water, which helps prevent over-scrubbing, and provide controlled mechanical exfoliation without being too abrasive.
Based on Shokeen's guidance, we selected the Mielle rosemary mint clarifying sugar scrub, the brand behind the ultra-viral hair-strengthening oil (see below) that many users claim has improved their hair growth. Just like the reviewer-beloved oil, the scalp scrub also contains rosemary oil, which can potentially accelerate hair growth by improving blood circulation in the scalp, thereby stimulating hair follicles, as well as nourishing hydrators like shea butter.
A viral hair strengthening and scalp oil
The viral Mielle oil is a rosemary mint scalp and hair strengthening treatment that, in years past, has become TikTok-famous for its anecdotal claims surrounding improved hair health and growth. (It’s Amazon’s second-best seller in the beauty and personal care category.) The biotin-infused formula contains nutrient oils, including jojoba, grape seed and evening primrose, all of which can address dryness and brittle-feeling hair along with other scalp health factors that can affect hair retention.
A "gold-standard" dandruff shampoo
Experts regularly sing the praises of the reviewer-beloved Nizoral shampoo, a "gold-standard" of dandruff treatments, according to one dermatologist.
"The active ingredient in this dandruff shampoo is [1%] ketoconazole, which has antifungal properties," Camp explained. And although he admits that evidence is limited, ketoconazole may help to reduce inflammation and the hormonal influences that can contribute to hair loss, in addition to helping to alleviate dandruff.
And if you're traumatized by other medicated anti-dandruff shampoos in the past, reviewers assure us that, unlike other market options that smell unpleasant, are harsh on hair and can have it feeling dry and gunky, Nizoral leaves tresses soft and clean-smelling.
