Let me start by saying — I’m not someone dealing with hair loss. I actually have a lot of hair. Thick, full, and honestly a bit high-maintenance.
But despite that, I’ve always had issues with my scalp feeling heavy, oily, or just not clean enough, even after shampooing.
So when I picked up the LABO-H Scalp Strengthening Shampoo, it wasn’t because I was looking to save my hair — it was because I wanted to take care of my scalp for once.
And wow. I didn’t expect to fall in love with it this fast.
First off, the cooling sensation. This is hands-down the most refreshing shampoo I’ve ever used. From the first wash, it felt like my entire scalp had just taken a deep breath. It doesn’t sting or tingle in a harsh way — it’s just this clean, minty lift that makes you go, “Oh. So this is what fresh feels like.” Especially on hot or humid days? Absolute heaven.
Then there’s the scent — a soft herbal-mint fragrance that feels spa-like and clean but never overwhelming. It doesn’t smell like artificial fragrance or synthetic menthol. It’s elegant and gender-neutral, and it actually lingers in the best way possible. I’ve caught myself flipping my hair after a shower just to get another whiff of it. That’s how much I love it.
The texture is a medium-consistency gel, and it lathers up beautifully — not too much foam, but enough to give you that satisfying cleanse. I only need one pump to cover my whole scalp and roots, and it rinses out super easily. No slippery residue, no heavy film — just genuinely clean-feeling roots.
After a few weeks of using it consistently (every 2–3 days), here’s what I’ve noticed:
• My scalp feels so much lighter after washing.
• No more midday oiliness near the crown of my head.
• My hair doesn’t get greasy as quickly — I can go longer between washes.
• I don’t feel the need to double-shampoo anymore — one go is enough.
• And yes, I catch myself touching my hair more because it just feels so clean.
Is it growing new hair? I mean, probably not — and that’s not why I bought it. But I genuinely feel like my scalp is healthier. Less buildup, less itch, more balance. And I know that over time, that is what leads to healthier, stronger hair. So if it’s doing something in the background for hair strength? Bonus.
I didn’t expect to love a shampoo this much — it was kind of a “let me try this out for fun” purchase. But now it’s one of those rare products I actually look forward to using, which I never thought I’d say about a shampoo.
If you have hair like mine — thick, dense, maybe a little heavy — or if you’re just tired of your scalp feeling like it’s always a little off, this is your fix. It’s a breath of fresh air in a bottle. And honestly? It’s going to be a regular in my shower from now on.
10/10 would recommend.
Even if you’re not “losing hair,” your scalp deserves this kind of love. 🫧✨
- Does the cooling/minty feeling last after rinsing out, or is it just during the wash?
FYI I’ve had bad experiences where the minty stuff felt great at first but ended up making my scalp feel dry or tight later.
- Did you notice any rebound oiliness or dryness over time?
