I'm trying my best to be as productive today as possible so after doing my thesis, I'll be blogging about another product which I got from Sample Room! Had you read my previous Sample Room-related blog posts, you will know that I love purchasing free stuff from them (shipping fee not included but all items are!) Yey! Familiar about the Zenutrients Gugo Strengthening Hair Serum? You can get it on Sampleroom for free! I don't understand why someone would think twice if you are about to get a steal! You will just be needing some account with 250 points and this, at your doorstep!

Claims:
Zenutrients has combined five of nature's most well-known ingredients that fight hair thinning and hair fall - Gugo, Jeju Aloe Vera, Green Tea extract, Tea Tree and Eucalyptus essential oils. Gugo has always been popular in the Philippines as a proven organic remedy for stubborn dandruff, hair thinning, and even eczema. Jeju Aloe Vera is one of the best multi-vitamins for your hair and scalp. With as much as 75 nutrients, 20 minerals, 12 vitamins, 18 amino acids and 200 active enzymes, it’s the natural cure for many skin and health problems. With healthy hair follicles, it is easier for nutrients and minerals to reach the roots to make hair long, thick and strong. Green Tea extract has catechins and polyphenol that help strengthen roots and activate hair follicles that promote hair growth and re-growth. Tea Tree oil can help get rid of bacteria and fungi. It also helps wash away dead skin cells that help unclog pores for a healthy scalp. Eucalyptus oil is nature’s cleanser. With its antifungal properties, it helps ward off infection, restrain residue build up and unclog the pores on the scalp. This power combination is made into a super serum that helps you fight hair fall and hair thinning by restoring scalp and hair strength.

How to use:

1. Massage into the scalp and affected areas in the evening, and then wash off in the morning. 
2. Apply again to the ends of your hair after washing when hair is still damp, to prevent split ends and breakage.

Ingredients:
Purified Water, Triethanolamine, Aloe Barbadensis, Carbomer, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Green Tea oil, Eucalyptus Essential Oil, EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Gugo Bark

I hate to repeat this but this Zenutrients Gugo Strengthening Hair Serum is full of active ingredients that has been traditionally known to cure hair problems like hair fall! I said this before already that I thought I was lucky to have an okay hair, meaning it does not feel dry or coarse and it can easily be tamed. On the contrary, I had this huge problem with hair fall. I have been with it since day one. Well, probably. This is why I am so scared that I would have to prematurely suffer baldness anytime. That is sooooo...off. Haha!

Uhm, who would not agree if I say that the packaging looks posh because of the heavy glass container, plastic pump and fragile cover? Aside from being not so travel-friendly, the pump is kinda hard to maneuver because every time I squeeze, the product does not come out real quick. I do not know if the problem is the dispenser itself or the gugo fibers that I presumed to be blocking the bottom of the pump. Hmmm. For display purposes, this looks really good but unfortunately, isn't travel-friendly. It's got all the information you would need as well such as the description, instruction for use, ingredients, manufacturing and expiry dates as well as proof of authenticity.

See the gugo fibers?  Actually, it makes up almost half of the content so expect only a little amount of hair serum to be consumed. Sad. And oh, by the way, have I already talked about the scent? It has that familiar Eucalyptus scent which I really love! It does not have this kind of strong scent which makes your hair smell minty all day huh. Just enough to fragrance your manes. Kilig!

This is how the product looks like when dispensed. A little runny and is translucent in shade which goes smoothly when applied on her. It does not feel anything sticky or what, just expect your hair to feel soft, smooth and healthy all day. For a P499 peso 40-ml-pump-bottle, I think this is really expensive. It does not like noticeably lessen my hair fall but applying it every day and night for weeks, I always get volumized and thicker-looking hair the next day upon waking up! Using it continuously for months, I believe would yield favorable results though.

Overall, I would say that I like this, This can be your leave-on conditioner that is light, non-sticky and made up of natural ingredients so no harm has to get done. However, I would be hesitant spending that huge amount for a next bottle so...I think I am up to the journey of finding a cheaper alternative. Who's with me? 'Til my next post! Happy blogging!
