When you’re dealing with thinning hair, finding a good at-home treatment can be very hit-or-miss. After all, it seems like there’s an endless amount of products out there promising to stop or basically reverse hair loss. Since everyone is different, you may have to go through a ton of products before you find one that actually works. As a shopping editor who totally gets it (and has tried tons of hair growth products as well), I’m here to bring you a brand new anti-shedding serum that actually has potential. The best part is, it’s half the cost of some of the more popular names out there.

The BondiBoost HG Lock Drops Anti-Shedding Scalp & Hair Serum is an everyday scalp treatment made for less shedding. The product itself is fast-absorbing, non-greasy, and contains ingredients such as aloe, mint, and rosemary (which has been known to help with hair growth). Using the product is super easy. All you have to do is apply it directly to your scalp on damp or dry hair, massage it in, and let it work its magic. The consistency is a bit runny, so the brand suggests tilting your hair back a little before massaging it in. As with similar products, use it as consistently as possible in order to see results.

I was lucky enough to get a bottle of the new HG Lock Drops serum to try and have been using it for a couple of weeks now. I’m no stranger to hair growth serums and have found some that I’ve really liked, though the high price point of some of them has prevented me from keeping up with regular applications. BondiBoost’s is just $30, which is about half the price of some of the more well-known hair growth serums out there. Not only that, it’s very easy to apply. Unlike natural hair oils you can find on Amazon (and elsewhere), you don’t have to worry about any greasiness. The consistency also isn’t as thick as other serums, so you can easily massage it into your scalp and it won’t really affect the look and feel of your hair once applied.

Truth be told, I haven’t had enough time with the product to really see any major differences. But I will say, I have noticed less shedding in the shower and on my hairbrush since I started using the product every day. Again, nothing major just yet. But with the $30 price tag, and how easy it is to use, there’s definitely a lot of potential. So, I’d say it’s worth trying.

Though recently released, BondiBoost’s HG Lock Drops already has a near-perfect rating with hundreds of five-star reviews. One shopper who said they loved the serum wrote, “I’m so happy I discovered this. I was struggling with hair thinning around my hairline, but after using HG Lock Drops for a month, I noticed great improvements: my hair looks fuller, shedding has reduced, and hairline looks healthier. I would definitely recommend this serum to anyone.”

Another raved after seeing “noticeably less shedding.” They wrote, “I’ve been using the BondiBoost Lock Drops Anti-Shedding Scalp Serum for about six weeks now, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the results. From the very first use, I noticed how lightweight the serum feels — almost like water on the scalp. It’s ultra-light and non-greasy, and it absorbs almost instantly … While it’s not an overnight miracle, BondiBoost Lock Drops has definitely helped reduce shedding and improve the overall health of my hair. If you’re seeing more shedding than usual and are looking for a lightweight, non-greasy serum with scientifically backed ingredients, I think this is a strong contender.”

Last, but not least, one shopper found a really good benefit to using the drops — a cleaner home! “Absolutely loving this product,” they wrote. “I’ve been only using the HG Lock Drops for a month now, and I’m finding less hair in the brush and around the house. That’s an extra bonus.”

So, if you’re looking for a solid hair serum that can help reduce shedding and bring it to a healthy-looking state, be sure to check out BondiBoost’s new HG Lock Drops. It’s available at retailers like Ulta, Nordstrom, and of course, BondiBoost‘s own site.
