My battle with hairloss: Dr. Wolff Plantur 21 Shampoo review

I think that every girl has noticed at some point increased hair loss. My hairdresser has told me that's normal to experience it around solstice - and I had always experienced almost animal-like "fur changing" twice a year. However after last solstice my hair was falling and falling... and my bathtub drain was getting blocked with hair more and more often. The point where I said "ok, that's enough" was in April, when my drain was getting blocked after every hair wash (so basically every day). Even though I know it's only my hair there I was still pretty disgusted and struggled to unblock it. Looking for some solution to my hair loss I came across Plantur range.


 
Product description: The nutri-caffeine complex in Plantur 21 helps to prevent an energy deficit in the hair roots. The caffeine in Plantur 21 primarily slows down degradation of the important energy carrier cAMP.

It can be detected at the hair root after just 120 seconds.

An additional effect comes from the valuable micro-nutrients biotin, magnesium, calcium and zinc. They are important factors for healthy and vigorous hair growth.

The Nutri-Caffeine Shampoo has also been developed for colour-treated and stressed hair. It contains conditioning agents that repair the externally stressed hair. This represents no burden on the hair, since no silicones that weigh down the hair are used.
How to use: Apply on wet hair, massage scalp and leave for 2 minutes, then rinse. Use on a daily basis.

The shampoo is clear and has weird consistency - it's not too rare or too thick, but something about that consistency has made me think "so no foam I suppose...". But surprisingly it does create a lot of rich foam. 2 minutes are passing by quickly, I just count slowly to 120. I have very oily hair, so to make sure my hair is properly cleaned and to save Plantur I first wash my hair with standard shampoo, then with Plantur. Plantur cleanse well, it does not tangle the hair more than any other shampoo (I always have to use conditioner).

In Plantur 21 series we can also get tonic and conditioner. I was afraid of tonic as one I was testing Alpecin Liquid (same company and also containing caffeine) and it was stinging my scalp as hell. The conditioner I decided to skip as I read some review about it and apparently it wasn't very good at detangling or smoothing out hair.

The shampoo surprised my on how effective it is, I noticed some improvement just after week of every day use. I have long hair and I still grow it, my hairbrush is always full of hair, so I can't judge my hair loss by hairbrush - but I can quite easily judge it by my damn drain blockage. Before Plantur I had to unblock it every day, after week of using Plantur I had to do it every other day. In July, after two months of using Plantur, I had to unblock my drain only once a week. At the moment I am using the shampoo only about twice a week, just preventable. What's interesting I'm still one the one bottle that I have bought in April (250ml), so it's super-efficient.

Ingredients of Plantur 21: Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Panthenol, Caffeine, Coco-Glucoside, Glyceryl Oleate, Parfum, Polyquaternium-7, Sodium Citrate, Polyquaternium-10, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid, Calcium Gluconate, Magnesium Gluconate, Sodium Benzoate, Zinc PCA, Niacinamide, Limonene, Linalool, Biotin, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.

There is also version "for hair after forty" - Plantur 39. It's slightly more extended, contains tonic and two kinds of shampoo and conditioner: 1. for fine and brittle hair, 2. for colour-treated and stressed hair.
The difference between series 21 i 39 is that Plantur 21 has nutri-caffeine complex, which prevents poor hair growth and hair loss that was triggered by stress and a supply deficit of the hair roots. Plantur 39, on the other hand, prevents hereditary hair loss. The phyto-caffeine complex helps the hair roots protect themselves against the consequences of decreasing estrogen levels.

Price: £8.99 in Boots. It's probably the most expensive shampoo I have ever used, but totally worth it!

Pros:
+ super efficient
+ creates nice, thick foam
+ no silicone
+ WORKS

Cons:
- opaque bottle, I can't see how much I got left
- may seem a bit expensive for a shampoo, but considering how efficient and effective it is, there is no con here really

Summing up: this stuff really works, strongly recommended :)

Some pics of my hair:

  1. Researches have established that beyond the genetic propensity of certain people toward hair loss, as per alterna hair there seems to be various dietary triggers that activate the process, a notion that is promising since this can be controlled.

  2. Daily shampooing is effective for oily hair. Choose the best shampoo for your oily hair. At the time of shampooing message the scalp smoothly, don’t hurry at least 5 minutes before washing. Repeat this process if hair is predominantly oily.
