Ever felt like your hair was caught in a tug-of-war between healthy shine and voluminous volume? Finding the balance when you have fine, straight hair can be especially challenging. That's why I was so excited to try out the new Vegamour Gro+ Advanced line. If you've been on TikTok or Instagram lately, you've probably heard about Vegamour and its reputation for creating all-natural, vegan hair products. Their new formula claims to achieve the perfect blend of hydration, volume, and breakage protection. Let's see if it can deliver on its promises! About Vegamour Gro+ Advanced Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner Kit Gro+ Advanced Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner Kit are designed to combat thinning hair and promote a healthy scalp, Vegamour's GRO+ Advanced Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner Kit offers a comprehensive solution for those seeking to enhance their hair's vitality. Both products don't contain any harsh SLS or SLES  and no silicones, which makes them perfect for dyed, straightened, tinted, and naturally curled hair. Powered by a blend of plant-based ingredients, this duo gently cleanses, moisturizes, and strengthens strands.   Key Benefits: ‣ Reduces Shedding: This haircare duo minimizes hair loss and promotes fuller-looking hair; ‣ Balances Scalp: Shampoo and conditioner duo soothes the scalp, creating an optimal environment for healthy hair growth; ‣ Hydrates Thirsty Strands: Infuses moisture into hair, leaving it soft, manageable, and lustrous; ‣ Gentle Formulation: Free from harsh chemicals, sulfates, and parabens, making it suitable for sensitive scalps. Vegamour Gro+ Advanced Balancing Shampoo Let's begin with the Balancing Shampoo – the first step in everyone's hair-washing routine. Its gentle, fine formula deeply cleanses the scalp and hair without stripping them of natural oils. Texture and Scent: Vegamour's Gro+ Advanced Balancing Shampoo looks like the earliest yellow honey. I was pleasantly surprised by the shampoo's thin consistency. It's not overly runny or thick, making it ideal for daily use. The foam is also light and airy, without heavy bubbles, which makes rinsing it out a breeze. The scent, however, is not my cup of tea. It was too rich and overwhelming for my taste. Ingredients: Of course, the formula is the heart and soul of any product. And Vegamour has gone the extra mile to curate a blend of potent actives that revitalize tired strands. Let's delve into what makes the GRO+ Advanced Balancing Shampoo's formula special. First of all, there are no damaging SLS or SLES sulfates and no silicones in the formula, which makes this shampoo featherweight and gentle, even for the thinnest chemically-treated hair. Next, talk about the GROActive+ Complex™ – a special, AI-discovered blend of polyphenol-rich plants for increased hair growth. Polyphenols aka phytonutrients are a group of plant compounds that offer a range of various advantages for health, including hair care benefits. Another interesting active ingredient in shampoo's formula is Spanish Microalgae. I have never encountered this ingredient in any haircare product, that's why it is so exciting! So, the Spanish Microalgae is a unique marine ingredient, that has gained popularity in the haircare industry due to its exceptional properties. It has an abundance of various essentials for healthy, strong strands: nutrients, vitamins, and various minerals. Basically, everything our hair needs to look fabulous! Vegamour Gro+ Advanced Balancing Conditioner Now it's time to delve into the second step: Gro+ Advanced Balancing Conditioner. This lightweight conditioner, co-developed with a dermatologist, is designed to hydrate and nourish thinning hair from root to tip. Its natural extracts, oils, and silicone-free formula aim to hydrate the scalp, reduce dandruff, and strengthen hair follicles. This product is especially beneficial for those with dry or irritated scalps, as it can help to soothe and balance the scalp's natural oils. Texture and Scent: The texture of the Gro+ Advanced conditioner is nice and smooth. It is creamy, but not too thick, just how I like my conditioner to be. It saturates the strands, hugging them with a nourishing veil of lightweight, caring ingredients that don't make them too greasy or heavy. And that's exactly what we want with fine and thin hair: no extra weight that makes the damaged hair strands look oily. The conditioner's scent resembles the shampoo's aroma. It is sweet, overpowering, and too strong for my liking. Once the hair is dry, the aroma becomes lighter and fades. Ingredients: The list of active ingredients is very similar to shampoo's formula: you'll find here the same GROActive+ Complex topped with Spanish Microalgae. But, there is something more – Marula Oil! It is a luxurious haircare ingredient extracted from the marula fruit that grows in the woodlands of Southern Africa. Rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, this wonderful oil helps to strengthen hair follicles, reduce frizz, and promote healthy hair growth. How I Use Vegamour's Gro+ Advanced Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner Kit You might think that I follow a very simple formula when it comes to shampoo and conditioner, but I don't simply lather, rinse, and repeat the steps! With Vegamour's Gro+ Advance, I go for a slightly different routine. First of all, I squeeze a small amount of shampoo (the size of a coin) onto my hand, dilute the consistency with water, and lather it. Then, I wet my hair and massage the shampoo into my scalp with a silicone hair massager tool. When my scalp feels soapy and clean, I rinse the shampoo out, washing the tips of my hair with the foam that goes through the hair. If necessary, I repeat the same step, but without the massaging tool this time. Next, I apply the conditioner from mid-lengths to ends, gently separating the strands with my hands or a wide-tooth comb. I clip the hair up, waiting for 5 minutes before rinsing. Waiting is the hardest part of the routine, but the smooth, frizz-free results are always worth it!    Final Verdict I had an awesome opportunity to try and compare two different Vegamour haircare lines: the GRO Revitalizing duo and the GRO+ Advanced kit. And my hair definitely prefers the second formulation. While the Revitalizing Shampoo and Conditioner by Vegamour gave my hair an impeccable shine, GRO+ Advanced bribed me with its lightweight formula that doesn't make my hair feel heavy. The shampoo doesn't dry the hair, making it the perfect option for daily washes, while the marula oil in the conditioner's lightweight texture made my hair soft, silky, and tangle-free. The only downside for me is the strong, sweet scent. While it doesn't overwhelm the nose after you dry your hair, it may be a strong reason for some haircare enthusiasts who prefer all-natural, vegan cosmetics with little to no scent. As for its hair loss-battling properties, it's difficult to say. I believe you'd need to use the shampoo, conditioner, and perhaps even serum for at least three months to see real results.
