PURA D'OR MD Anti-Hair Thinning Maximum Defense Shampoo - 0.5% Coal Tar, Biotin, Proprietary Herbal Blend For Dry & Itchy Scalp, No Sulfates - For Men & Women, Strong Coal Tar Scent 16 Oz

UPDATE: FEBRUARY 12, 2017- My Two Year PURA D'OR Anniversary. Don't think I have ever stayed with one product for so long. It still is working for me!!! QUICK REVIEW: This shampoo helped regrow my postmenopausal (plus recent hysterectomy) thinning hair. It has no silicones (silicones clog pores) but you might need a no silicone conditoner for detangling afterwards. Use it faithfully for at least 3 months. Take before and after pictures to see how your hair is progressing. Read my full story when you have time. It will tell you how the first year went. Also, I have just purchased and left a review for Pura D'OR Deep Moisturizing Conditioner, which pairs nicely with the shampoo especially of you have dry, curly, or hard to comb out hair. It also is my pick if you are used to regular shampoo and conditoner because it will gives hair more "slip" but does not weigh it down. If you have hair that goes flat in one day (fine and oily) then go with the regular "blue label" conditioner. I am very impressed with all of these products. Please email me if you have questions and please like my review if it helped you. I PAID FULL PRICE AND WAS NOT COMPENSATED FOR MY REVIEW. I have no interest or affiliation with the manufacturer or seller. MY STORY: I was skeptical when I purchased this shampoo 3 months ago. So skeptical that I took a before and after picture to see if it was working. I had pretty full hair until I became of a certain age. Slowly I could see my hair thinning, especially in the front. I went to a dermatologist who told me there was not much I could do. I wanted to tell myself that it wasn't true but I would not only find hair all over the shower but everywhere else, too. As far as me, I shampoo daily and have for many years. This shampoo has a pleasant smell (reminds me of incense) but not overpowering or lingering. You will probably need a conditioner afterwards as it appears to be very cleansing. I have colored hair and it did not strip the color. My hair now has body, much more shine and is noticeably thicker. I think you can see that by my before and after pictures. I hope you will give it a try before you give up on your hair. SIX MONTH UPDATE: After six months my hair has stayed thicker with no hair loss. I do continue to use Pura D'or Premium at least three days a weeks. I do switch off with low poo shampoo or apple cider vinegar a few times a week also. Like many women, my hair feels dryer or oiler as the seasons and weather changes. Also, even with great products sometimes switching it up is good! By the way, it pays to stick with this shampoo exclusively for at least three months. It takes time for hair to grow and to see a difference. Hope the update can help someone who is agonizing over thinning hair. Picture: I am adding two pictures (3&4) taken today 7/3/2015. I am 6 months out from first using this shampoo and about 5 months out of using the Pura D'or conditioner, which I left a review for today. Finally. As you may notice I need a touch up and also I am holding my hair back tightly like the before picture. The last one is how I normally wear my hair today. No more shortie bangs to TRY to cover the bald spot (never works!) Any questions please ask. ONE YEAR UPDATE: I placed my first order of Pura d'or Gold Label on 1/7/2015. So, I am pretty close to using it for one year. I took a few pictures today. I don't know if I really have any improvement over the last 6 months, maybe a little. Certainly, I have much improvement over my very first picture. My hair was broken off and very sparse at least an inch or two in. My scalp looked red and a bit angry. My fine front hair is definately a little longer at this point and you can't see my scalp anymore. My hair dresser said my hair was overall a bit thicker in December. This is the first time she has said that and I ask her EVERY time!! I have gotten used to using this shampoo which has no silicones and makes your hair a bit tangled before conditioning. I was so used to the slickness of silicones that I figured that this shampoo was drying out my hair. It was not. I have learned that the silicones can build up and also lead to hairloss. So it is a reason to keep using this shampoo and conditioner or at least one that is silicone free. I do recommend trying the Pura d'or Conditioner. It is very light, untangles my hair and a good match with this shampoo. I have left a review for it, if you are interested in looking at it. [...]

Fabulous product! It smells amazing and invigorates your head. It makes you feel like the top of your head is breathing. I use it with a scalp massager. The hair fall has reduced. I'm not sure it is solely from the product, but eliminating chemicals from your shampoo is always good. I use the shampoo and conditioner. My husband had been complimenting me on how my hair smells and he stole one of my bottles. I have to keep extra.

It’s my first time using this product, so results takes time to show. The only bad thing was the bottle cap is not working it came with defect which is not pumping so I have to pull the the whole tube in order to use it, so there is a waist every time I use but besides that it seems to be a good product.

ALL THE BEST NATURAL INGREDIENTS & OILS WHICH LEAVES MY SCALP AND HAIR FEELING THICKER SOFTER & NOTICZBLY MUCH BETTER. JUST BE SURE TO WASH HAIR FIRST & FOR BEST RESULTS LEAVE LATHERED WHILE WASHING BODY, SHAVING OR WHATEVERMELSE YOUR REGIME IS. I RINSE LAST & JUST ADD SMALL AMOUNT OF THICKING CONDITIOONER ON ENDS ONLY!!!

Love, love, love this shampoo! My hair is thin and fine, and I have noticed more and more hair loss as I am aging. After using this shampoo 2-3 times, I notice none to 1-2 hairs in the sink directly after shampooing my hair after styling it fresh from the shower while still wet. I apply it to my hair, wash my hair and leave the suds in while I shower, rinsing the shampoo out last. It tends to drip into my face because my hair is extremely wet and sudsy but does not sting my eyes. This is an incredible product that I would definitely recommend.

I'm not a big spender on body care products. I was looking for a replacement for Tgal, gone from the market due to a spurious, foolish settlement. This had good reviews on rddt, so I watched for it to go on sale. OK, so this isn't as nice on my hair as Tgel was... and costs a fair bit more that chain store substitutes - but note it is a large bottle. One pump is just right for me. Going to last a long time. Doesn't lather at all which is a big downside (told apparently many premium products don't.... as the lather is from a chemical that is not environmentally friendly). Scent is pleasant- a crisp herbal- maybe tea tree oil? - over the tar scent. Gave it 12-14 days to get used to. Nope, don't foresee ever buying it again. Value just isn't there and the not lathering an issue (lather cleans my ear canals, so is a must)

I do think this improved my hair loss and added thickness. I needed to alternate shampoos and conditioners, because my hair would get dry with consecutive use of this product. A few washes with an alternative and it was working well again.

I don't know yet if the hair is increasing but I do know for a fact that much less hair is falling out. I am combining this with nutrition because I know I was low in things like B12, D3 and Zinc and may well have also been low in biotin. I am also eating pumpkin seeds and 1 teaspoon of wheat germ (for spermidine because it has studies where people stopped shedding hair after 3 months)

Muy buen champú totalmente natural. Me he realizado un transplante de pelo y cumple todas mis expectativas.

Bought it firstly because it is sulphate free & am looking for shampoos for hair growth. Used for 7-8 months daily. Washes very well, even for oily hair. Smells pleasant and gives my hair a little more volume and texture through out the day, just did not notice any hair growth. Did notice less hair fall though.

Fantastico funziona davvero, notata una ricrescita dei capelli non solo accelerata ma anche nuovi capelli, infoltisce e aumenta la corposità! Non testato il che è un plus non da poco per chi ci tiene e sa quanto è difficile trovare in Italia prodotti non testati!

It is better than any other shampoo in the market

This isn't just a shampoo; it's magic. I highly recommend buying it—you won't regret it.
