Customer photo review of Hair Thickening Shampoo Travel Size

Bought the duo mainly for vacation last month. First time using conditioner and I’m loving it. My new favorite shampoo & conditioner duo! Fit perfectly in my suitcase and didn’t have to worry about TSA taking these from me! The ounce size is perfect.

Customer photo review of Hair Thickening Shampoo Travel Size

From the moment I washed my hair and it dried it, I felt that it was more full and it smells so good! I 100% recommend the shampoo and conditioner, if you are looking for fuller hair! Thank you, Dr. Gary Linkov for creating your brand and thinking of us with thinning her and auto immune diseases, like alopecia!

Customer photo review of Hair Thickening Shampoo Travel Size

I originally tried the sample of the shampoo. After using it, could not believe how much thicker my thinning hair looked and felt. After a few weeks, I ordered the 9 ounce bottle. For me it is money well spent. Love how my hair feels now. Thank you!!!

Customer photo review of Hair Thickening Shampoo Travel Size

I recently added this to my hair care routine to help prevent more hair loss and grow as much as I can back. It gives my hair volume, smells great, lathers well, and a little goes a long way! I will definitely purchase a full bottle once this travel size one runs out, and will be ordering other products from this line. I love this shampoo!

Customer photo review of Thickening Shampoo Travel Size

Discovered this brand about a year ago. For me personally this product feels like it helps keep my hair healthy. You don’t need to put a lot of shampoo in your hair which is nice. It’s spreads very nicely which I like. The shampoo also smells good which I’m big on. I’ll be ordering their new bigger bottle so I’m looking forward to that. Currently using the New Travel size bottle since I wanted to see how big it was. So happy I came across this brand.

Thickening Shampoo Travel Size

I have two autoimmune diseases, and stress galore… it’s an uphill battle with my hair loss. My scalp LOVED the feel confident shampoo. It’s so nourishing, also the smell is so lovely. My husband even enjoyed it. He has dry scalp and he found it really nice and moisturizing. 4 stars is for the heaviness of the formula. I have medium hair relatively thick, but it coats my hair and weighs it down. Almost like Pantene did in the 90’s. My husband is Japanese and he has thick and corse hair that can handle it and conditioner on top. :D All and all excellent shampoo best for dry, curly, course, or thick hair. IMHO

Hair Thickening Shampoo Travel Size

I've only been using it for a couple of weeks, so I'd like more time. But so far I'm liking what's it doing.

Hair Thickening Shampoo Travel Size

I really like this shampoo. It makes my hair look good. One thing I wish is it that it didn't have any odor, but that's because I'm very sensitive to smells and prefer to use totally odor free products .

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the Thickening Shampoo with other Feel Confident hair products?

Yes. Our Feel Confident haircare products are formulated to work synergistically. We recommend pairing our Thickening Shampoo with our Thickening Conditioner and Thickening Foam for optimal results.

How do I incorporate the Thickening Shampoo into my hair care routine?

We recommend cleansing with the Thickening Shampoo 2-3 times per week in the AM or PM and following with the Thickening Conditioner and Thickening Foam. Style as desired.

Is there fragrance added to the Thickening Shampoo?

Yes. We included fragrance to improve the sensory experience of the product. Our entire haircare line is still appropriate for sensitive skin types, after being thoroughly examined and dermatologist-tested by an outside research facility. We wanted to make sure that men and women equally enjoyed the experience of using our conditioner so we deliberately chose a gender-neutral, refreshing scent.

Is the Thickening Shampoo a replacement for topical prescription medication?

No. Though we carefully formulated our Feel Confident haircare line with ingredients that have been shown by research to help with hair health and assist hair growth, they are not a replacement for medical therapy. Rather, our haircare line is complementary.

Can I use the Thickening Shampoo with hair care products from other lines?

Our products play well with others and can of course be used with products from other lines. However, too many products applied all at once can lead to irritation and damage. We recommend our paired down Feel Confident haircare routine to minimize extraneous products that could cause irritation, undue damage, or weigh hair down.
