MD Maximum Defense Biotin Shampoo & Conditioner Set, 16oz x2

This shampoo and conditioner is absolutely incredible. Hair loss was a common thing for me and I always chalked it up to my PCOS and just assumed there was nothing I could do since nothing else worked for me. However, I reached a point where I was pulling clumps of hair out of the shower, I was noticing balding along my frontal, and it was so upsetting for me. My husband was already using the apple cider vinegar version of pura d’or and he told me he felt there had to be more to it since I was getting nowhere and to just give this brand a try. I did just that and at first it was frustrating because it made my hair oily quickly which meant I’d have to wash my hair more often. But I decided to stick it out and see if it helped anyways. I’ve been using it for 3 months now and it has absolutely changed my life. Within 1 month I was no longer pulling clumps of hair out in the shower, and I was no longer shedding tons of hair while I brushed my hair in front of the sink. I’ve now reached a point of a normal amount of shedding. Additionally, I was combing through my hair and I noticed that I have some regrowth!!! Within just 3 months the hair I’ve lost is starting to grow back. My hair is also so silky and soft, it smells really good (the conditioner especially smells incredible). I’ve shared a photo to show my regrowth, my hair is pretty fine to begin with and I think that’s why it took me awhile to notice it but you can somewhat see it in the photos. I have more regrowth than what’s visible in the camera, just hard to see since my hair is so thin/fine. Over all I’m so incredibly happy with this product and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to use another shampoo or conditioner. This stuff has been life changing and has started to give me some confidence and peace of mind back! I absolutely recommend this stuff, if you use it you have to be able to get past it being oily and you have to give it time. It takes at least a month to see actual change!!

(2/20/24) i received and used it last night. the shampoo smells good. the conditioner smells a little weird to me but not necessarily “bad” weird. neither of them smell so strong that the scent lingers or anything though. i don’t notice a huge difference in frizz or anything (but that’s most likely a fault on my part for not knowing how to style my hair lol). my hair does feel cleaner than it would with my old shampoo (native brand). and my hair feels “lighter” if that makes sense. like it’s not being weighed down by any residues or anything like that. so far i like it :) as for thickening-results, i’ll obviously have to wait to share that. so i’m setting a reminder on my phone to remind me to update this review every 3 months, maybe for the next year or so, with pictures and whatnot. (2/26/24) i know i said id right a review 3 months from now (and i still will) but i wanted to mention that i’ve washed my hair twice now with this stuff and my hair is definitely feeling softer. like silky soft. i love it :) (6/27/24) sooo i finally caved and saw a curly hair specialist ($$$ 😮‍💨). i’ve only ever gotten trims—never a haircut. but my hair had gotten so long (past my butt) that all that weight pulled the curl out of my hair. plus, as i mentioned before, idk how to style my hair lol so i needed help from a curly hair specialist to figure out what the heck to do with my mane. i won’t belabor all the details she shared with me, but apparently *another* reason my curls were kind of limp was because of certain products i was using (like shea moisture leave in conditioner, for example). my hair in particular needs a water based, light, “airy” kind of moisture, NOT a heavy, oil-based product that would only cause my hair to lay flat. anyways, the hair stylist asked what shampoo/condish i used, and i showed her this, and she said that this would be good to use once in a while to “deep clean,” but that i shouldn’t use it on a regular basis. ACV cleans VERY thoroughly, so it will remove all the build up of products and everything, which is good! but if you use it too frequently, it can be too drying and leave your hair more vulnerable to damage and whatnot. so as of now, i’m using R+Co shampoo/condish as per her recommendation, and using the ACV products like once a month or so. my hair still feels soft and silky :) i have not necessarily noticed an increase in thickness, although i can’t say that that’s a fault of the product, since im using it far less frequently now. my hair is very thick to begin with. my concern was that my hair began to thin out near my temples (probably due to autoimmune issues.. which a shampoo cannot fix on its own anyway lol). anyways, this may or may not be my last review. i just wanted to conclude that i like this product a lot! and to share what my hair stylist said about overusing this, which, you’re welcome to do with that info as you please. just food for thought :)

This has a very strong smell but if you want results you've got to put up with something. Sometimes I don't like I mean I don't mind the smell. If it's going to give me results I will say I love the conditioner. My hair is really shiny and feels so soft. I do leave it on. I wash my hair first. Of course when you get in the shower and I leave it on for a couple of minutes. While I do a couple of other things you know wash my face, do a little bit of shaving because I've had cancer. I my cancer medication cause a little bit of hair underneath my chin to grow. So I shave that take care of that and then after I do all that I rinse the shampoo out of my hair and then I put the conditioner on and I work that through my hair really well and then I wash my body. That's the two minutes that I leave it on then I rinse it off. I will say my I used to use the leave-in conditioner and it was fine. It was good but this makes my hair so smooth silky and shiny and that lasts for a few days. I don't use this daily. I don't believe in washing your hair everyday. I don't think that's healthy for your hair. I did notice today when I washed my hair. I keep a screen in the drain of the bathtub that there was less hair in the drain of the bathtub. Probably about half of what it used to be, so I think it's working. Yay! So I would recommend it if you aren't so sensitive to the smell. It is strong and I'm getting used to it. But I'll say if it's working then who cares about the smell like candle move on with your life? It's great. I'll buy it again

I really like this shampoo and conditioner set. It leaves my hair feeling clean, soft, and refreshed without making it feel weighed down. My hair feels healthier and fuller after using it, and I love that it contains biotin and other ingredients designed to support thinning hair. The scent is pleasant and it lathers well, making it a great addition to my hair-care routine.

I used to use the PURA D'OR Hair Loss Prevention Therapy Premium Organic Argan Oil Shampoo (blue label) and then, for some reason, I swithed to some other well-known, reputable hair care brand. I noticed that I was experiencing a ton of hair fallout and realized it might be due to this other well-known hair care brand. So I decided to try this PURA D'OR Anti-Thinning Biotin Shampoo and Conditioner Natural Earthy Scent (gold label). Why or WHY did did I ever stop using Pura D'or shampoos and conditioners?!? They actually WORK. As soon as I switched over to Pura D'Or, IMMEDIATELY I experienced and noticed way LESS hair loss and fallout whenever washing my hair or brushing and blowdrying my hair. And immediately, my hair felt and looked thicker. Also almost immediately - it legit felt like it was overnight but it probably happened over the course of 2-4 weeks - a ton of little baby hairs and new hair growth started to sprout all over my head, near my hairline and temples, on top of my head, etc. It's kinda unsightly but it's so worth it to know that my hair is actually growing back and my hair volume and health are being restored. I currently use this Pura D'Or Anti-Thinning Biotin Shampoo + Conditioner and I rotate between this set and the PURA D'OR Apple Cider Vinegar Thin2Thick Shampoo (red/pink labels). I'm so thankful my hair is being restored. That said, my only complaint is - although this gold label shampoo is allegedly "color safe," I don't think it is. I am pretty darn sure the Apple Cider Vinegar shampoo is NOT color-safe because it's a clarifying shampoo. But, I don't think ths gold label shampoo is color safe, either. I dye my hair (no bleach, just color + toner) every few months and I noticed that the color has been totally stripped since I started using Pura D'or. Oh well. It's a price worth paying for reducing hair loss and hair thinning. In terms of scent, I do enjoy the scent of this gold label shampoo and conditioner. It is, indeed, "earthy" but it's not at all offensive. Kind of smells woods-y and green. The conditioner texture is interesting - it's not watery but it's not as thick as most other conditioners. Yet, it definitely does moisturizer and soften my hair. (That said, I do have to combine with and layer the PURA D'OR 16 Oz Renewal Argan Oil Conditioner in order to get better detangling benefits since I have very long hair, it reaches to my waist.) Overall, highly recommend Pura D'Or. It's not gimmicky. It actually works.

My husband has used this shampoo and conditioner set for a couple of months, so this review is based on regular use rather than first impressions. The biggest question most shoppers have is whether it actually helps with thinning hair. In his experience, it did not produce noticeable hair growth or make his hair look significantly thicker, so it’s important to keep expectations realistic. What this set does well is provide a gentle, comfortable wash. The shampoo cleanses thoroughly without irritating his sensitive scalp, and the conditioner leaves his hair feeling soft without weighing it down. Neither product caused dryness, and the light, natural scent is pleasant without being overpowering. One thing to know before buying is that the shampoo has a very thin, watery consistency. It pours quickly, so it’s easy to use more than intended if you’re not careful. The lather is moderate rather than rich, which is fairly typical for a sulfate free formula. The ingredients and overall quality feel premium, but the price is definitely on the higher end. Because we didn’t see noticeable improvement in hair thinning, it was difficult to justify the cost based on results alone. TIPS: Dispense the shampoo slowly since it’s much thinner than most shampoos, and let the conditioner sit for a minute or two before rinsing for the best results. Overall, I’d recommend this set to someone looking for a gentle, sulfate free shampoo and conditioner for a sensitive scalp. It cleans well, leaves hair feeling soft, and uses quality ingredients, but if you’re buying it specifically to regrow hair or dramatically reduce thinning, our experience didn’t match those expectations.

I tried this because of a woman who works at a medical facility that I get treated at. I have been seeing her regularly for at least 10 years and her hair was suddenly getting fuller and longer. I asked her about it and she kept saying it was her shampoo. Finally I got the name and ordered it 8 months ago. I'm 77 years old and have always had healthy hair but it's dry in areas. I've always used good products (It's a 10) and thought they were the best for my hair but the creme rinse is my new go to. It leaves the hair very silky without being oily. You notice it as soon as you rinse it out in the shower but the lasting effect is that your scalp doesn't get dry or oily. The shampoo is good too but the creme rinse is the very best. My husband also uses it now which says a lot since he's only changed shampoo 2x in our 50+ years together and his 1st change was because they stopped making his product.

I wanted to write this review because I think that this product has not gotten a fair review with some users. To start I would like to say that I am also on the war against thinning hair which is why I purchased this set. I think that some would want it to be a miracle cure but the fact is that when one has thinning hair the biggest culprit is coming from within. Thinning hair is the result of that problem. Before using the product I read the ingredients and I was pleasantly surprised. I want to stop here and say that this product does not state that it will make your hair soft but rather help with hair loss/thinning and the ingredients in these, if you do your research are spot on. I have been using it for about 3 weeks now and the first thing I noticed was that my hair admittingly did feel a lot dryer than when shampooing with other shampoos. However that wasn't the reason for my purchase. I wanted something that would help me battle hair loss on the outside while I worked within to figure out what was causing it in the first place. When doing my research what I learned is that shampoo opens up the hair strands and conditioner closes them. So I began washing my hair and leaving it on for 2 minutes then rinsing and applying a homemade mask consisting of honey, olive oil and 1 egg. Warm it up and left it in my hair for 30 minutes. Then I rinsed and continued on with the conditioner leaving it on for 2 minutes as well. The results were mind blowing. My hair feels so much better and stronger. Adding the hair mask made all the difference while still allowing the shampoo and conditioner the time that would be needed to aid in the process. This is a tool in the arsenal against hairloss but it will not do it alone. I have changed my diet and added minoxidil as well as hair oils, battling it from all directions. I hope that the negative reviews will not detour you from at the very least trying it because as I said before, many of the ingredients are exactly what your hair needs. Hope this helps. I read the reviews after I purchased the product and almost got discouraged after reading them but decided to try it anyway BECAUSE of what was in the product. Hair thinning is really difficult to deal with and I was glad to find this set. I will definitely give it at least 6 months before making any decisions as to what the product does or does not do. For now I will give it 5 stars until I've given it enough time to work.

Me gustó mucho! Mi piel ha mejorado bastante en 4 meses de uso!

this is the perfect product for thinning hair

A great shampoo & conditioner for hair thickening that is free from harmful ingredients! But the price is quite expensive!!

Too bad its triple the price now!

My hair was noticeably softer after just 2 washes. Did not cause my eczema to flare up. Overall very happy with it.
