Top Ingredients and their Main Benefits: Pura D’or Hair Thinning Therapy Shampoo
Here are the main ingredients of this product are mentioned below along with their benefits:
Niacin
Niacin is very often known to be a powerful ingredient used in skin care products, but it is a lesser-known ingredient when it comes to hair care. Niacin is nothing but vitamin B3.
It is very helpful in increasing the growth of healthy hair, as it can increase blood circulation in the scalp and can supply to the hair follicles sufficient oxygen for the hair to grow. It is known to help treat conditions like hair thinning and alopecia.
Biotin
Biotin is yet another vitamin (vitamin B7), that is another super powerful ingredient that is added into hair care products because it can help stimulate the production of the protein keratin (that helps build and maintain hair structure) in the hair.
It can also help increase the rate of hair follicle growth. Biotin can help increase hair thickness and also reduce hair thinning. It is known to help improve hair strength and reduce hair breakage.
Argan oil
Argan oil is a rich source of vitamin E, which contains fat that coats each hair strand to be able to protect it from external hair damage. The coating on the hair shaft can also help it reduce hair dryness and its common problems like frizziness and hair breakage due to the hair being dry.
It is also known to contain “phenols'', which are compounds that are rich in antioxidants and can help strengthen the hair follicles and can reduce hair loss. It can also help promote healthy and thicker hair growth.
How I Tested The Pura Dor Hair Thinning Therapy Shampoo
Here are the parameters I used to test and review this product:
Hair cleansing ability:
Why I always choose this parameter while I rate and review products is because the basic idea of using a shampoo apart from its promised benefits, is its cleansing power.
So this is something I always consider, as to how well it cleanses my scalp and hair of buildup, dirt, grease and grime.
Gentleness on the hair and scalp:
My scalp is prone to getting dry and itchy and therefore, whether or not the product contains harsh chemicals; my sensitive scalp reacts to it sometimes.
So this aspect will test how gentle this shampoo felt on my scalp and hair. In addition to this, I also considered whether it dried my hair out or not.
Effectiveness of the product:
This product offers results in a reduction of hair thinning and an increase of hair volume. So I keep this parameter in mind while testing and reviewing how effectively this shampoo delivered its promised benefits.
Use on coloured hair:
My hair is coloured and many shampoos in the past have caused my hair colour to fade. So I chose this aspect to rate whether this shampoo caused drastic fading or change in my hair colour or not.
Scent:
I’m not big on scents, to be honest. I prefer unscented products or at the max, mildly scented products. So this is a parameter I consider while I review and rate products.
Cost:
My ideal price range for a shampoo would be between $10 to $15. So this product was above my budget. So here I will rate and review as to how worthy or not this shampoo was for the price I paid.
Overall Review: Pura D’or Hair Thinning Therapy Shampoo
I’ve been using the Pura D’or Hair Thinning Therapy Shampoo for quite some time now and I have to say that it definitely did help me to a certain extent. Let me talk about each aspect in detail here.
So as a hair cleanser, this shampoo is super powerful; and cleanses the hair and scalp very well without leaving any product residue. It made my scalp and hair feel fresh after each wash.
It also felt really gentle on my sensitive scalp (as this is always one of my apprehensions whenever I buy shampoo because I suffer from dry scalp and itchiness), as it contains no sulfates, parabens or any other harsh ingredients. Also, it is safe for coloured hair, as it didn’t fade my hair colour at all!
Coming to how effective this product was in terms of fulfilling its promised benefits, I’d say it did definitely reduce my hair loss to a good extent and I saw much lesser hair clog my drain over the course of a few weeks after using this shampoo, so that’s a plus on that front.
I wouldn’t say it stopped my hair from thinning down completely, but it did to a good extent, which I was quite satisfied with.
I initially didn’t see results for a few weeks (in terms of reduction of hair loss) and felt disappointed, but thereafter, I began noticing the changes over time. It made my hair feel more voluminous than it was before.
Also, this shampoo made my dry hair feel much softer and made the texture of my hair smooth, which also made my hair more manageable and easier to brush (thus contributing to the reduction of my hair loss due to hair breakage).
I used this shampoo along with the Pura D’or Hair Thinning Therapy conditioner itself to get the best effects of the product, combined.
It lathers well, especially when diluted with a little water before usage. you keep it on for a few minutes once you massage it in, it definitely gives better results.
The scent of this shampoo is vanilla lavender, but I honestly didn’t like the smell too much. It is pleasant, but wasn’t to my liking.
Lastly, talking about the pricing, this shampoo was quite over my budget (I bought the shampoo first and later the conditioner). So if you want to know whether I’d buy it again, well, maybe not.

How to use the Pura D’or Hair Thinning Therapy Shampoo?
Wet your hair properly with lukewarm water (so that your hair cuticles open up and the shampoo works better). Then, dilute a little shampoo and lather it between your palms and apply it all over your scalp and hair. Let it be on your hair for 2 to 4 minutes, to soak in well.
Rinse off well and then use the Pura D’or Hair Thinning Therapy Conditioner (for the best results) or any conditioner of your choice.
Tip: When rinsing off the conditioner, rinse off with cold water so that the cuticles on the hair shaft seals, locking in the moisture.
