Does This Hair Density Line Actually Work? Under Your Skin Review
I went through a semi-traumatic period of unexplained hair loss and shedding my freshman year of college, and even though it's since been resolved, I still feel like it never quite bounced back to the way it was. And although I admittedly have a decent amount of hair, I could always use more, especially in certain spots. I have some thinning hair around my temples—think the area of your scalp that your hands run over when you're gathering your hair into a ponytail—as well as on my natural part line. So naturally, when I was first introduced to Under Your Skin, a Swedish clean beauty brand that makes hair care that focuses on the scalp, I gravitated towards their Density Collection. Could it actually help with faster, thicker hair growth? Would it eliminate that horrible clump of hair that comes out every time I shower? Could I potentially grow some new baby hairs to fill in some thinner spots on my scalp? Cosmo Commerce Director Rachel Torgerson and I tested out their full range of density-boosting products, and we have the full scoop for you below! I was slightly skeptical of the Density Shampoo before I began using it. How much would a product that's applied and rinsed off within five minutes actually do? But then again, I've used shampoos that have caused literal hair fallout, so I'll take anything that's formulated to prevent that. And while no shampoo can single-handedly fix the root cause of hair loss, shampoos can definitely help reduce breakage and nourish the scalp. This one was formulated specifically to moisturize the scalp, stimulate hair follicles, and create an environment where healthy new hair can grow. Ingredients like Capilia Longa, an extract derived from turmeric, to improve hair density and thickness, as well as lactic acid (which helps moisturize the scalp) can encourage growth, so we love to see that in Under Your Skin's ingredient list. The product itself felt really nice and sudsy. I got a great lather especially on the second shampoo if you're a twice-as-nice, double shampoo girlie like I am. It was fairly easy to work through my hair (which means I didn't tangle up or rip out any strands trying to get every strand soaped up) and I didn't feel like the product stripped my hair at all, even though I shampooed twice. As for the Density Conditioner, I applied a big gob throughout my hair and let it sit for five minutes while I completed the rest of my shower routine. I've always lived by the no-conditioner-on-your-scalp rule to avoid weighing down my hair, so out of the density products I've been testing, this one is probably the least likely to provide a noticeable increase in hair growth and density. As for the density claims, Torgerson noted that her hair definitely feels stronger than it did before she started using this shampoo and conditioner. But full disclaimer—she thinks this is more due to the density drops by the same brand (more on that below!) than because of the shampoo, simply because the key ingredients wash out with the in-shower products but can be fully absorbed into the scalp via the drops. "That being said, I'm sure it's only helping and not hurting that situation," she said. "All in all, I like these and would keep them in my rotating list of options!" I've tried many a hair density serum that's left my scalp feeling like it's covered in oil. I've even covered my scalp in rosemary oil in pursuit of thicker hair. Neither are fun, so I loved that these drops are light as water. During my testing period, I used the product all over but focused on my temples and natural part where I see the most thinning. It's extremely easy to use—it can be applied on wet or dry hair, thank goodness—and doesn't leave any greasy residue, making it easy to actually be consistent with these. Torgerson noticed a major difference in her hair after using the Density Drops for only two weeks. "After giving birth, I've definitely noticed a thinner ponytail. That, paired with an FYP on TikTok that for some reason features a lot of women worried about this issue has turned me paranoid about losing hair and wanting to bulk mine back up. After two weeks, I'm noticing less hair come out in my hairbrush and in my shower routine. It also feels stronger, and it seems like I have new baby hair growth at my temples/throughout," she noted. "I love that this isn't an oil-based serum," she continued. "I can apply these morning and night without the fear that I'll have to slick my hair back in a bun for the day or show up with oily hair to work. Quite the opposite, I swear this refreshes my scalp so I don't need to reach for dry shampoo as often and am not desperate for my shower days in the same way I was in the past! I want to keep going for the full results, but definitely excited about what's already happened." Okay, this one is a new favorite for sure. I've been trying to reduce the number of aerosols in my life (hairspray and dry shampoo were the last two to go) so I jumped on the opportunity to test this non-aerosol powder dry shampoo. Shockingly, the white powder didn't make me look like I was prematurely greying even though I have very dark hair, and I brought it on a bachelorette trip where all the girls kept borrowing it and using it throughout the weekend. One even took a photo of the bottle so she could purchase one for herself. Torgerson also tested out this dry shampoo and landed on the same verdict—it's seriously volumizing and 100% brunette-approved. "I have stayed away from powder dry shampoos because, as a brunette, they always seem to leave a white cast over my hair that at best fades to make it appear duller and at worst, looks full-on like I've simply tried to blend flour into my roots. This one is so different," she raved. "It pumps on in a satisfying plume, which spreads the powder nice and even, and then disappears entirely after a gentle massage and brush through. Like seriously—gone! I'm really impressed," said Torgerson. "It's also small enough to fit in my travel toiletry case, yet is supposed to last for months and months. Beyond that, it definitely delivered on the overall promise to reduce the look of oil and give a bit more lift and body. I'm sold!" It's a yes, yes, yes from me! Knowing that the products I'm using definitely won't trigger any hair fallout and will actually strengthen my strands, reduce shower shedding, and lead to the growth of new baby hairs is exactly what I'm looking for in a haircare line. The three-part density system makes it easy to be consistent, which is really the most important part (historically tricky for me, personally) and I'm looking forward to seeing even more results as I keep using these products!

Hair thickening shampoo labelled a 'game changer' for post-menopausal hair loss
As we age, it's common for hair to become finer and thinner, but shoppers have discovered a game-changing shampoo that helps add thickness and volume to strands As we grow older, it's not uncommon for our hair to become thinner and finer. However, shoppers have stumbled upon a revolutionary shampoo that adds volume and thickness to hair. Philip Kingsley's Density Hair Thickening Shampoo (£31) is designed to enhance hair condition while giving it a fuller appearance, and it's already garnering rave reviews. A shopper in her early seventies shared her experience, stating, "I have fine, naturally blonde hair even though I'm in my early seventies, but just lately, it has started thinning. The Density Shampoo and Conditioner duo have really helped, and they are a joy to use." It's not only the personal reviews that are impressive - clinical trials also vouch for its effectiveness. When used in conjunction with the Density Conditioner and Protein Spray, 92% of testers reported their hair felt more textured, while 25% noticed increased volume after just one use. The shampoo cleanses the scalp, strengthens strands, and provides long-lasting fullness, making it perfect for those with thinning hair. Its ingredients include hydrolysed pea peptides, which offer antioxidant, hydrating, and smoothing benefits, reports the Manchester Evening News. As mentioned, the Density Shampoo has received some fantastic online reviews. One delighted mother enthused: "My 18-year-old daughter started to lose her hair on top (and) no one could say why. But using these products has changed her life for the better. We've noticed a difference in the last couple of months." Another shopper enthused: "I noticed the difference after the first use. My hair looked noticeably thicker. Even other people noticed. I have since purchased more and will continue using it. I am really pleased with it and recommend it to anyone with fine hair." However, not every review is glowing. One dissatisfied customer remarked: "So far, I am not convinced it helps. Shampoo makes my hair greasy and lank." Nevertheless, another satisfied customer said: "The Density Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner already seem to be working on my thinning, shedding hair. The scalp is less visible, and the hair looks healthy. I am delighted." Alternatively, if you're on the lookout for something wallet-friendly, Noughty's Get Set Grow Shampoo (£7.64 on Amazon) could be just the ticket. It's a budget-friendly potion designed to volumise, utilising organic pea sprouts, robusta coffee beans, piroctone olamine, and moisture-rich hyaluronic acid for a silky, ample mane. For those in pursuit of extra body, Absolute Collagen's Thickening Collagen Complex Shampoo (£18.89) claims to offer a tangible boost. With collagen amino acids, this clinically proven formula has been shown to inflate hair thickness by up to 20% over eight weeks.

Hair thickening shampoo with 'life-changing' results hailed by shopper in her 70s
One user said it's 'changed her life for the better' As we grow older, it's typical for our hair to become finer and thinner. But beauty buffs have stumbled upon a revolutionary shampoo that adds thickness and volume to hair. Philip Kingsley's Density Hair Thickening Shampoo is crafted to enhance hair condition while giving it a fuller appearance - and it's already garnering rave reviews from satisfied shoppers. The haircare company offers a wide range of products that all promise to help keep locks nourished. It also works on a subscription re-fill basis. As a one time purchase, a 200ml bottle of Philip Kingsley Shampoo costs £31, while a 500ml costs £56. However, shoppers can save 20 per cent right now when they sign up to the brand's refill service. This lowers down the price of each bottle to £24.80 and £44.80, respectively. Hair care fans can sign up to get their shampoo replenished every one, two or three months with no change in price. The shampoo cleanses the scalp, fortifies strands, and imparts long-lasting fullness, making it perfect for those with thinning hair. Its ingredients include hydrolysed pea peptides, which offer antioxidant, hydrating, and smoothing benefits, reports the Manchester Evening News. Alternatively, the Noughty Get Set Grow Shampoo, at a reasonable price of £7.64 on Amazon, offers a budget-friendly volumising option. Its potent mix of organic pea sprouts, robust green coffee beans, piroctone olamine, and moisture-rich hyaluronic acid is designed to give a smooth and thickened hair appearance. Another choice available is Redkin's Volume Injection Shampoo which retails for £19.23 on Amazon. However, the Density Shampoo itself has earned itself some fantastic reviews online. An older woman shared her experience with the product, saying: "I have fine, naturally blonde hair even though I'm in my early seventies, but just lately, it has started thinning. The Density Shampoo and Conditioner duo have really helped, and they are a joy to use." Beauty deal of the week Perfume fans will be keen to hear about a deal we have just spotted at Boots. Those looking for something "timeless" and "distinctive" might already have Givenchy's Amarige Eau de Toilette on their radar. A favourite since the early 90s, it's got a bit of a cult reputation. Even better, Boots has just dropped the cost of a large 100ml from £109 to just £54.50, allowing shoppers to save an impressive 50 percent off a beloved perfume. Its scent makes up a "beautiful bouquet of white flowers", with top notes of tangerine, violet and rosewood being mixed with heart notes of gardenia, mimosa, red fruits and ylang-ylang. The scent then finishes on "vibrant yet muted" base notes of ambergris, precious woods, musks and vanilla. The bottle, which was designed by perfume legend Pierre Dinand, takes inspiration from the ruffles sleeves of a Bettina Blouse designed by Givenchy. One shopper who is a devoted fan wrote: "One five-star review read: "I bought this on offer at Boots, it was around £30 cheaper than anywhere else! It has an amazing timeless distinctive scent must be tried!" A second loyal fan said: "The best perfume of all times! So classy! I'm glad it is back for it has been my signature perfume for more than a decade. Intense. Long lasting. Amazing. Complements galore!"
