Actiiv Shampoo Gave Me Fuller Hair Naturally, No More Thickening Products Needed!

2026-01-12 Shampoo reviews Categroy：Men's Views：263

Actiiv shampoo visibly thickened my thinning hair within a month, eliminating my need for styling products. Though expensive and no regrowth observed after 4 months, it's worth recommending for natural volume.

This is a review from Amazon.com about product:

ACTIIV Recover Thickening Shampoo Treatment For Men | Supports the Appearance of Fuller, Healthier-Looking Hair, Supports Scalp Health, Plant-Based, Color-Safe, Vegan,All Hair Types, 16 oz

I Stopped Using Thickening Sprays After Actiiv Shampoo Results

I was skeptical, as I'm sure most are about hair-loss treatments, but this seems to work. As of today (Feb. 11 2022), I have been using the product for about 4+ months. I use it every other day, as directed. Prior to using this, I would spray thickening product and use gel to have a "thicker" look. After about a month or so of using Actiiv, I no longer do that as it seems fuller more naturally.

I am leaving 4 stars as I wouldn't say I have seen any hair re-growth where it was thinning. That, and it is fairly pricy for what you get.

Overall, would recommend.

Shampoo Basics & Tips

Understanding Hair Loss Treatments and Hair Care

Hair-Loss Treatment Effectiveness: Most hair growth shampoos like Actiiv work through prolonged use (3-6 months) by blocking DHT hormones. Results vary - while this user saw thickness improvement, complete regrowth in balding areas is uncommon without medical treatments.

Thickening Product Alternatives

Styling Products vs Treatment: Thickening sprays and gels create temporary volume through polymers, while shampoo treatments improve actual hair health. Consistent use of keratin-rich formulas can reduce reliance on cosmetic quick-fixes as seen in this review.

Usage Frequency Impact

This user followed the every-other-day application recommendation. Overwashing with medicated shampoos can strip natural oils, while underwashing reduces active ingredient effectiveness. Always follow product guidelines.

Daily Hair Care Tips

1. Massage shampoo into scalp for 2 minutes to stimulate blood flow
2. Use lukewarm water to prevent scalp irritation
3. Combine treatment shampoo with biotin supplements for enhanced results
4. Avoid towel-drying hair roughly to prevent breakage

Common Shampoo Concerns

Price vs Value: Clinical shampoos cost $25-$50 vs regular $8-$15. Look for ingredients like ketoconazole (1%), caffeine, and saw palmetto. Shedding Phase: Initial increased hair fall (2-4 weeks) is normal as weaker hairs shed.
