Two million bottles sold and every celebrity with a hairline crisis swears by it — I called bullshit and bought one anyway. Turns out, Vegamour GRO+ Advanced Serum isn’t just expensive scalp water, but it’s not the second coming either.
The real reason this matters: I have a bald spot forming at my temples that my concealer spray stopped hiding, and I refuse to wear a hat like I’m in a 2014 indie band.
It’s a plant-based serum you massage into your scalp twice a day — $78 for a one-month supply, and they claim visible regrowth in 90 days. I’m a skeptic who’s tried minoxidil (itchy hell) and rosemary oil (smelled like a pasta dish), so this had to be different.
Mousse-like applicator
Rolls on cold and wet — feels like you’re putting aloe on a sunburn.
No greasy residue
Dries in 30 seconds flat, so you can style immediately without looking like you dunked your head in olive oil.
No smell
Literally zero scent — my boyfriend couldn’t tell I was wearing it, and he’s a human bloodhound.

The formula leans on curcumin (from turmeric) and mung bean sprouts — sounds like a smoothie, but they target the follicle cycle directly. No drugs, no hormones, just a lot of plant chemistry that somehow works.
- Curcumin: Reduces scalp inflammation that kills hair follicles
- Mung bean: Extends the growth phase of your hair cycle
- Red clover: Blocks DHT without messing with your hormones
- Caffeine: Wakes up dormant follicles — yes, the same stuff in your morning coffee

Straight out the bottle it’s watery — drips through your fingers if you’re not fast. On the scalp it feels like a cold gel that disappears faster than my willpower on a Monday.
Week 2 I noticed less hair in the shower drain — the kind of small win that makes you text your mom a photo of a wet hair clump. Week 6 I spotted baby hairs at my hairline that looked like tiny grass blades after a rain.

After 90 days, my temples have a visible fuzz that’s about half an inch long — not a full mane, but enough that my concealer spray is now optional. The crown of my head? Same density as before. It’s not magic, it’s just… progress.

It’s the most effective plant serum I’ve used — but at $78 a month, you’re paying for precision, not miracles. Your scalp will thank you, your wallet will not.
