I’ve had so many people message me last weekend and ask about The Ordinary’s Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density. I also had a lot of people dm me and tell me that it was the best and that they were using it in their hair and loved it, LOVED IT. Lots of people said that it helped with hair growth and with thinning hair. People said that there was no hair product like it, nothing else in their lineup of products that was irreplaceable like this one is. For me, that spot goes to Wonder Water, and honestly, I don’t have a problem with thinning hair,. I added this to the cart last November when Deciem was having their 23% off sale and I was getting free shipping. I figured that using this couldn’t hurt, and it hasn’t hurt. I kind of love giving myself the massage when I apply this to my scalp, and I just do it when I’m rinsing my mouth with mouthwash since I have to do that for 30 seconds anyway. That’s the true meaning of multitasking.
This serum has a peptide complex that helps hair grow, the research is there for the ingredients. However, you do need a certain amount of the peptide in the formula in order for it to work, and we don’t know the concentration in this formula, which is weird because The Ordinary prides itself on being transparent with its ingredients. In any case, this might work for you if you have thinning hair. The other thing to do is to make sure your scalp is clean – so lay off the dry shampoos and just wash your hair. You could also try regular scalp massages as increasing blood circulation to the scalp has been shown to help hair growth.
Does this make your hair greasy? Kinda. I find it best to NOT use at my part and I apply it everywhere else. I also apply it after I wash my hair while my hair is still wet and that helps it not be so greasy.
When you’re parents are around, you revert to being a kid, so I’m choosing to be 24 which is how old I was when I got this bottle of Narciso Rodriguez. I smelled it at an airport duty free and couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I got it. This is the perfume that launched many flankers, and the mix of rose and musk is now classic. It’s impressive what the perfumers, Christine Nagel and Francis Kurkdjian, have accomplished since, but also impressive that this smells grown up and accessible at once, classic but also modern. In a way, it reminds me of Glossier You, but maybe Glossier You’s cool, older aunt who works as a lawyer now but before that sold homemade soaps or something. I guess there’s a floral musk-heavy perfume for every generation.
