Not sponsored, not an ad, just a genuinely nosy person who reads these posts myself and wanted to give back to the sub. Quick disclaimer: my camera angle changes for my ouai comparison 😅 I wasn’t consistent with documenting from the start, so I had to go back through my camera roll to dig up comparison shots. Sorry in advance for the mismatched lighting/angles, it’s not the most scientific comparison but hopefully still useful. My hairline has always been noticeably sparse on the left side. It’s not something people usually notice, but the second I tie my hair up it becomes really obvious and honestly kind of embarrassing. As exhibited by my pic with the fat ginger cat. Round 1 — Ouai Scalp Serum (90 days) Used it 1-2x a day, mostly at night before bed. Routine was just massaging it into my hairline and scalp, sometimes with a bamboo scalp massager, sometimes just clean fingertips. No sticky or greasy residue at all, felt genuinely nice to use. The break Took about a month off after finishing the Ouai bottles before starting anything new (I went through 3 in the 90 days). Round 2 — Dr Groot Hair Thickening Roll-On (90 days) Same kind of routine, applied to the hairline/scalp. Also didn’t leave things feeling sticky or gross, BUT I noticed it’s a lot less forgiving if you’ve got any oiliness going on, it makes the hair around the hairline a bit stringy if you’re even slightly due for a wash. My honest take: the Dr Groot seemed to show a visible difference faster than the Ouai did. Both were pleasant to use day-to-day, but if I’m comparing purely on speed of results, Dr Groot edges it out for me. Not a scientific trial, just one person’s hairline and a lot of patience. Photos of both attached (day 0 → day 90 Ouai, then day 30 → day 90 Dr Groot). Happy to answer questions if anyone’s on the fence about either!   submitted by   /u/Short_Confusion_5142 [link]   [comments]
