The Vegamour GRO+ Advance System is a haircare group of products by Vegamour which promote hair growth in the long term, and give you thicker, more manageable hair.  We were sent a set of the GRO+ Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner and the GRO+ Advanced Hair Serum to try out.

When haircare companies send us products to test, it normally takes a few weeks or even months for us to see a difference, but with the GRO+ Advanced System Shampoo and Conditioner, I saw results immediately. I mean, as soon as my hair was dry I noticed that it was fuller and thicker, so there must be some magic here or else it really does work!

The shampoo and conditioner work exactly the same way as any other product, and on their own especially over time they build up the hair to create fuller locks.  I’ve used the products in combination 3 times now and not only on the first use but on the subsequent uses I’ve seen how it builds up my hair. Over time it should help with regrowth too. My hair wasn’t heavy though, as if there was a lot of product in it and I had to think back the first time I used GRO+ to make sure I hadn’t used any kind of mousse or finishing creams to give it the fuller look. I hadn’t, but the shampoo and conditioner on their own has give the fuller body that post-drying leave in conditioners or treatments usually do. I noticed that when my hair just had the GRO+ shampoo and conditioner used on it and no other styling products, my hair wasn’t greasy and didn’t get dirty as quickly either so there was no build-up of products to deal with.

With this instant affect in mind, I used the GRO+ Serum to see if that would work.  The serum is a really light, almost watery consistency which is easy to apply.  You just add drops to your scalp, anywhere your hair might be thinning, and then massage in. It is best applied daily (although I didn’t apply daily to start with) and can be used on wet or dry hair.  Over time, the serum encourages hair follicles to grow and created thicker hair. I haven’t been trying it for the recommended 120 days yet but based on the success of the GRO+ Shampoo & Conditioner I’m very hopeful! The serum isn’t sticky at all and it actually conditions the root of the hair too so it gives a bit of nourishment. It’s vegan and has no silicones either so washes out easily.

I’m really impressed with the GRO+ Advanced range that I’ve seen so far, and although it’s pricy, it’s still cheaper than the medicated alternatives and the worry of losing or thinning hair which we know exasperates the problem! Even if your hair isn’t thinning, this is a great preventative measure and everyone loves a fuller look to their hair. I’m going to keep using this for as long as possible to see the results and hopefully completely transform my hair.  Even better, it’s made with a vegan formula so anyone can use it.

Good Gracious Shampoo and Conditioner

It’s no surprise to anyone who knows me to find out that my naturally curly hair is difficult to tame, frizzy if I don’t straighten it and the curls only stay in place when the hairdresser puts them in.  My curly hair is also exposed to extreme hard water in my area, which strips out all the oils and all the nutrients to leave my hair dry. Each time I wash it, if I don’t straighten my hair I have to add loads of products or else, I just tie it up and try and forget about it.

Good Gracious is a new brand available at Tesco, with a range of shampoos, conditioners and masks which are tailored to your needs to give you the best product combination for your hair. All of the products in the range are 97% natural and vegan friendly. The ranges are Purple (hydrating), Pink (colour care), and Orange (repair) which is the range I was sent to try for my poor, dry hair. There are masks available too, all of which are at Tesco in the haircare aisle.

The Orange range, meant for intense repair of hair, contains Argan oil, sweet almond oil and almond milk for a triple hit of intense treatment to hair. Working together, the ingredients have a repairing effect on hair, especially if used long term. When I opened each bottle, there is a lovely smell from the Argan oil and almond milk. The shampoo and conditioner work best when used together so I have been testing for a few days now and leaving my hair to dry naturally to give a better idea of how it repairs. My hair is becoming softer and the curls more defined, and over time I hope it becomes even more manageable with the more I use the Good Gracious products. Argan oil for the win with Good Gracious hair!
