Obagi Medical - Nu-Cil BioStim Scalp Serum (60 ml)

A scalp serum for those who notice more hair left in their brush or that their hair feels thinner than it used to.

Why it works

Healthy hair starts at the scalp. If it is dry, oily, or irritated, hair follicles struggle, causing hair to become weaker, break more easily, and shed more. The BioStim complex therefore works directly on the scalp: biotin, amino acids, and peptides nourish and strengthen the hair follicles, supplemented by caffeine, panthenol, niacinamide, ginseng and pumpkin seed extract, and zinc, among others. Together, they soothe and balance the scalp.

Important to know: it strengthens existing hair follicles. Where there is no longer a hair follicle, nothing will grow back.

The serum is lightweight, non-greasy, fragrance-free, and leaves no residue in your hair.

For whom

For women and men with thinning hair, more shedding than usual, or hair that breaks easily. Also for scalps that tend to get oily or red quickly. For bald patches or hereditary baldness in men, please consult a doctor first. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding: consult your doctor first.

How to use it

Once a day, in the morning or evening. Part your hair, apply the serum directly to the scalp, and massage it in with your fingertips. Can be used on dry or damp hair; do not rinse, let it dry, and then style as usual. Using it twice a day does not work better. If you use it on the entire scalp, one bottle will last four to six weeks; longer if used on specific areas only.

What I would like to share

Of everything I know for thinning hair, this is one of the products I am most satisfied with. The results are clear, provided you stick with it.

Because hair is slow. What you do today, you won't see until months from now. You will often notice less hair in your brush after a few weeks, but for more volume, you should count on about three months. And if you stop, your hair will slowly return to how it was—so decide in advance that you will commit to it for half a year. Also, take that minute to massage; it is part of the treatment.

And one thing I always mention: if you suddenly lose a lot more hair, have your blood checked as well. Hair loss sometimes has an internal cause, and in that case, no serum will be enough.
