Reddit user Repair_with_gold has been using The Ordinary’s $15 Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density for the past month and a half.
The light, water-based product is designed to achieve fuller, healthier-looking hair.
She said it “absolutely worked” for her, and there was a reason for that.
“I had a lot of uneven hair growth due to a health issue,” she said in a after.
“I could see that those hairs were growing very quickly, much faster than normal.”
She has fine, light brown hair, but the small light blonde hairs she had around her temples are now longer, stronger and darker.
Her hairline is now “much thicker” overall.
Not only did she say it worked well, she also said it “worked better when combined” with a scalp massage.
“Before using this product, I regularly massaged my scalp, but the results were not the same,” she adds.
Famous stylist Ryan Parel explained to The US Sun what to do and not to do during a scalp massage.
He said to massage gently to avoid damaging the hair follicles.
The Reddit user applies a few drops, or about half a pipette, of the product to her “problem areas” on a clean scalp every night.
She said it feels a little greasy, but it feels more ‘silicone-y’ than oily.
“When it dries, it doesn’t leave any oily residue,” she added.
She said that she would definitely have noticed if her hair was too oily, because she had a light hair color.
Not everyone will have the same results.
She advised those interested to try it out for themselves, as every hair type and hair texture is different.
The Reddit user also shared her trick for boosting growth, making it work even better.
“When applying it, make sure you part your hair and hold the pipette as close to the scalp as possible,” she advised.
“This way you prevent too much from getting on your hair.”
It is essential to get it only where it matters, and that is the skin.
Then gently massage the scalp using circular movements.
She also had a special warning so that you don’t damage the ‘baby hairs’ and small fine tufts around the hairline.
“Make sure you ‘move’ the scalp with your fingertips rather than ‘rubbing’ the hair,” she said.
