Amazon shoppers say this anti-thinning shampoo works: 'My hair is growing back!'

The Briogeo Destined for Density Shampoo is a 'game-changer' for thinning hair and excessive shedding.

There are tons of masks, serums, supplements, shampoos and even pricy professional treatments to help with hair loss. The thing is, it's hard to sort through it all to find what really works. If you've noticed your hairline migrating, your breakage increasing and your volume waning, Amazon shoppers say Briogeo's Destined for Density Shampoo is the real deal. According to reviewers this is the rare product that does exactly what it claims — as a matter of fact, some even say they've seen their hair grow back with regular use.

The shampoo has a light sandalwood scent that some shoppers call "heavenly."

The shampoo is formulated to minimize excessive shedding (so you'll see less hair collecting around your shower drain) and it claims to give volume to thin or fine strands. It contains natural, scientifically-proven ingredients like biotin to nourish and strengthen the hair follicles and increase elasticity, copper peptides to strengthen hair, zinc to normalize sebum at the scalp and a caffeine energy complex that stimulates the scalp to encourage growth.

It's one of Amazon's top-selling hair regrowth shampoos and more than 4,000 Amazon shoppers have bought in the last month alone. But again, does it work? Well, according to users, yes, it really does.

"This stuff works and I’m shocked," said one shopper. "I had a receding hair line and my hair is growing back! I saw a difference after the first bottle and I just bought my third. Smells good and I feel clean with no residue or anything after using. [My hair] was receding and thinning with a bald spot forming on the top. All growing back, so much so that friends and family notice without me saying anything first."

"My hair is stubborn. During the fall and winter, my hair is even more thin and dull," explained another. "I began using this product and it's been amazing. It's such a life changer for me. After only two washes, I immediately noticed a major difference, and my hair has since been thick, full and bouncy. Obviously, if your hair is as thin and dull as mine, you'll definitely notice a difference very quickly."

One reviewer said they've tried multiple hair growth products and many have left a film behind or made hair greasy, but not this one. "This shampoo is a game changer," they wrote. "My hair is shiny and smooth and actually feels thicker. I alternate with [the brand's] charcoal scalp scrub shampoo to detox my scalp and it has changed my hair game... I have been using this for a while and I have noticed new hair growth!"

Of course, if all else fails, shoppers say it cleans well and will have you smelling fantastic. "My hair feels and looks great and it smells wonderful. Love this stuff!!" said a reviewer.

You can use the Briogeo Destined for Density Shampoo daily, but for best results, you can try using it with the line's corresponding conditioner and hair growth serum. The brand also suggests exfoliating your scalp with its Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo once per week. (FYI, massaging your scalp is good for hair growth too.)

You can save a little money when you purchase the shampoo and conditioner in a set.
