    ReviewingDensifying Serum For Thinning Hair
  • This is the best dry shampoo I've ever used. Firstly, it is easy to work through my dark hair without seeing any residue. Secondly, it does not irritate my sensitive scalp OR create buildup, like some other products. It's also very easy to apply with the cute little brush. I am a subscription customer, for sure.

    ReviewingClarify Dry Shampoo Powder
  • I am in love with this concentrated shampoo. Not just because I use half the amount I would normally use, but because it smells amazing and has a long lasting fragrance that I love, my hair is healthier and stronger, and I am seeing less hair in my brush every day.

    Amanda MVerified Reviewer

    ReviewingStrengthen Concentrated Shampoo
  • Honestly — BioBrew really does work. My color processed hair has been through breakage, and combining this with biotin has strengthened my hair. Even products from bigger brands didn't restore my hair to its original strength. What prevents the perfect 5 is how quickly you can burn through this. It can last up to one month if I'm lucky.

    ReviewingBioBrew Fermented Strengthening Serum
  • Only used the serum few times and for the first time, I did not need to wash my hair every day! I could go few days without having to wash. It is wonderful serum.
