‘Out of all the products I have tried this is genuinely the best, my scalp is also less dry and itchy and I visibly have no dandruff which I have struggled with’
When it comes to looking after our hair, the type of shampoo and conditioner can have a big impact on its finish – especially when our hair is damaged, dry and a little lacklustre. But beauty fans are showering a particular hair duo in praise for not only leaving their locks glossy and hydrated after just one or two washes, but for strengthening them too.
The Hair Gain Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner has been developed by leading Trichologists (which is a specialist who focuses on diseases or problems related to the hair and scalp) to nourish, strengthen and boost the hair to leave it ‘ soft, visibly healthier, and full of vitality’. What’s more is the shampoo and conditioner’s formula has been found to help reduce hair breakage and fallout, leading to ‘thicker’ and ‘fuller’ tresses.
In fact, a study completed by the brand showed that use of the “Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner reduced hair fall and breakage by 86% after just one use, while consumer trials showed hydration lasting for up to 72 hours after washing”. Meanwhile, 84% agreed their hair looked glossier.
Shoppers can get this powerful duo in the brand’s Starter Kit, which is available as both a one time purchase and on a subscription model for regular delivery. Costing £36 for a one off buy or £22.95 when subscribing, the set contains two refillable bottles crafted from 100% recycled materials (and 100% recyclable, thanks to sustainability being a big part of the brand’s ethos), as well as the shampoo and conditioner in 250ml refill cartridges.
The award-winning hair wellness brand claims the shampoo and conditioner’s formula can handle even hair that’s been colour-treated or chemically processed and, working together, packs a serious punch. It’s powered by a blend of Peptides, Marshmallow Root, and B Vitamins that strengthens hair and locks in deep hydration without giving strands that dreaded, weighed-down feeling.

The Hair Gain Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner Starter Kit has been developed with leading Trichologists, and is said to ‘deliver advanced hydration and strength from the very first wash’.
Delving in deeper, the Peptides work hard to strengthen the internal structure of each strand, making hair significantly more elastic and resistant to daily breakage. Meanwhile, Marshmallow Root’s power soothes the scalp and seals in moisture for long-lasting hydration and softness. Alongside this, a hefty dose of B Vitamin Complex nourishes from root to tip to restore total vitality, shine, and strength.
Even better, the formula is entirely vegan, halal-certified, dermatologically tested, and completely free from parabens, silicones, and sulphates. It seems to be a clean, gentle powerhouse that is safe for every single hair type, including the most sensitive scalps and colour-treated manes. The brand even boasts users will see results after just one wash – which is pretty impressive.
This particular hair duo looks to rival the likes of viral brand Coco & Eve’s Super Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner Duo, £46, which promises seriously quenched hair thanks to its patented ResistHyal™ technology, which works to promote a stronger, shinier appearance.
For those who need something to help strengthen their locks, Beauty Pie’s Stronger Shinier Hair duo, £50, has been specially formulated with thin, brittle hair in mind. It contains Lustreplex for daily shine and frizz-resistance without leaving heavy, dulling product build-up, Quinoa Pro NPNF (packed with 17 amino acids for a moisture boost), Prodew 50, Rice Protein alongside Peptides and Vitamin E.
Although the Hair Gain set has had the seal of approval from consultant Trichologist Samantha Stewart MIT, who has praised the range for its ability to hydrate and strengthen without compromising scalp health.
She said: “I absolutely love the Hair Gain Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner. The shampoo delivers intense hydration and moisture balance while initiating the detangling process from the very first application. My hair feels cleansed yet nourished, never stripped, which is rare for curly textures.
“The conditioner has incredible slip and leaves no residue, only softness and manageability. Every ingredient has been carefully selected to support scalp and hair health, from hydration and elasticity to strengthening and protecting the cuticle. My naturally curly hair has been transformed, frizz is a thing of the past and my hair has a beautiful healthy shine.”
It’s not only Trichologists who have been left in awe of the results from using Hair Gain, as shoppers have left glowing testimonials on the brand’s website, backing up its 4.7 star rating. One user said: “As a 60+ lady with thinning hair, I’ve spent fortunes on many, many products over the last few years so decided to try this. I bought the starter kit of shampoo & conditioner and couldn’t believe my eyes! It gives so much volume and this will now be my forever.”
Someone else noted: “By far the best products I have used in a very long time. My curls are soft, bouncy and defined and last longer between washes,” while a third remarked: “Out of all the products I have tried this is genuinely the best, my scalp is also less dry and itchy and I visibly have no dandruff which I have struggled with.”
While most comments have been pretty positive, one user did deduct a star as they hadn’t noticed much difference in the quality of their hair. They said: “Only had this a few days. I wash my hair daily and haven’t noticed much difference yet. Having used the hair mask and hair gummies which do work I hope the shampoo and conditioner work as effectively.”
That said, the majority of Hair Gain Shampoo and Conditioner users echoed this user’s sentiments: “My hair is looking so good now, thicker, fuller, shinier and softer.”
