Effective without Drying
Gifted by nutrafol. I have fine hair and have always struggled with shedding—but my hair has thinned out significantly since having two kids. Nutrafol is always mentioned in my mom groups and I was so excited to try! I don't have many scalp issues but a lot of hair products weight down my hair becau...

Great formula but strong smell
This shampoo has a great concept, but the scent really threw me off. It's a bit too strong and lingers longer than I'd like. I wish it had a fresher or more subtle fragrance to match the clean formula. Gifted by Nutrafol

Hair Type Wavy Hair
I recently tried the Nutrafol Root Purifier Scalp Shampoo which was gifted by nutrafol and overall I found it to be a solid option for those battling limpness or heaviness at the roots. Right off the bat, it felt refreshingly lightweight on the scalp — it cleans thoroughly without leaving that stripped feeling many clarifying shampoos deliver. Over a few weeks, I noticed my scalp seemed less oily and my hair felt a bit more voluminous at the root (though I can't claim "miracle" thickening). That said, if your hair is very dry or already brittle, it might benefit from a richer conditioner afterward, since the formulation does lean toward gentle cleansing rather than deep moisturizing. For the price point, I think it's a worthy try for thinning or fine hair — just go in with tempered expectations about dramatic regrowth.
Highly recommend this pair for anyone with fine or thinning

Gifted by Nutrafol I received the Nutrafol Root Purifier Shampoo and Strand Defender Conditioner as a gift from the brand, and I'm honestly impressed! After just a few washes, my scalp felt so much cleaner and balanced — no dryness, no buildup. The shampoo deeply cleanses without stripping, while the conditioner makes my hair soft, smooth, and shiny without weighing it down. I love that both products are sulfate-free, silicone-free, and paraben-free. They have a light natural scent and leave my hair feeling healthy, hydrated, and fresh for days. This duo truly helps improve the texture and volume of thinning hair while keeping the scalp healthy.
