JASON Thin to Thick Energizing Scalp Elixir Review


Apart from my usual use of Avalon Organics Biotin Shampoo and intake of Healthy Options Biotin food supplement, I recently started using Jason thin to thick energizing scalp elixir. 

I also bought this at Healthy Options for Php469 for 59ml a bottle.

I usually use this if I don't feel like taking the food supplement. Why? Because I sometimes drink different food supplements throughout the day (Vitamin C, Pharmaton, Cod liver oil and C-Lium fiber capsules) and sometimes I feel like it's all mixing up inside my belly so I try to simply my food supplement intake as much as possible. I have a confession, there was a time that I became lax with my hair fall preventive measures, I once looked at my office's CCTV monitor and I saw my scalp peeking through my hair! Oh no! That's when I decided to do something about it (again).

It is pretty expensive considering the Avalon Organics Biotin shampoo is also priced at Php469 but I think I can't afford to lose any more hair nor stuff my body with tons of food supplements. I apply this religiously every night then massage my scalp to spread the serum evenly and let it stay overnight. It has a cool tingling feeling but so far that's the only side effect for me. I bought my father dear a bottle and he told me his scalp itches but nothing serious beyond that, he even thinks maybe it's his hair roots growing back lol. It's not so sticky and eventually seeps through your scalp.

Shampooing in the morning is also a delight, I don't need to use a conditioner because my hair remains soft. Hair fall was significantly reduced to approx. 2-3 strands. In my experience, I felt my hair became fuller after a month's use. I just hope I won't slack off from this nightly ritual!

Healthy Options Biotin Food Supplement

Hair care time! 
On my previous articles, I have mentioned that one of my big problem is falling hair
I took the initiative to seek gentler shampoo thus I got Avalon Organics shampoo and conditioner
However, I found out shampoo and conditioner is not enough and I might be lacking some nutrients.

My hunch is right! I lack Biotin and my hair was already screaming for some aid thus the rush to purchase a Biotin food supplement.
I was apprehensive at first because I don't like drinking food supplements as much as possible but if my body can't produce an ample amount of biotin to sustain my hair, I might as well help my body.

Biotin at 500mcg (micrograms) can be purchased at any Healthy Options store
I got 2 months' or 60 days' worth of capsule since I only take this once a day
A 60 day bottle costs Php407.00 so it's pretty reasonable priced as biotin is just a cheap and affordable vitamin
Reading some health articles online, our body only needs a small amount of biotin so once a day would be good already.

One of the drastic things I noticed is the immediate effect it has on my long locks
It does keep my hair strands holding on tight for it's dear life on my scalp and it's growing strong. 

Another thing I noticed is that my hair grows at a rapid rate- I never thought I'd see the day when my hair would grow really fast!
Now I need a hair cut, haha =p

This is how it looks
Biotin is practically odorless and tasteless
I swallow this easily because I just need a small dose of biotin daily.

I'm repurchasing my 2nd bottle soon and I'm making sure I'm getting 90 days worth of biotin lovin'

The Body Shop Detangling Comb





Another The Body Shop post, I personally prefer their non-consumable products than their consumable make-up products for some reason I don't know why haha.

I bought this at The Body Shop in Canton Road for HK$39.00, I'm not sure if The Body Shop Philippines carry this wooden detangling comb, I have not seen this here yet.

The Body Shop explained that the wood used for their combs "comes from well managed forests, independently certified in accordance with the rules of the Forest Stewardship Council. A. C." Great right?

What I love:

  • lightweight
  • soft wood
  • massages the scalp and it's very relaxing
  • does it's job detangling hair
  • avoids hair fall because there's no tugging
  • no static, less damage for my mane, yey!
What I don't love:
  • The polish came off a bit on the handle but that's okay

Avalon Organics Biotin B-Complex Thickening Shampoo






Stress in our daily lives can make our hair grow thin and it applies especially for men. However women are also prone to thinning hair and it especially applies to me! Haha


My hair was gradually thinning due to stress in school, hogging on the computer for long hours of time etc.
I didn't pay so much attention to it for around a year or two until I finally realized I have to take care of my hair! First it is telling me something is wrong with my lifestyle so I'm trying to correct that, and second, no amount of make-up will be great if I have thinning hair...


I bought this 400ml shampoo at Healthy Options in Greenbelt 5 for Php355; I thought the price was not that steep if you would take into consideration other 400ml commercial shampoos. They also have the Biotin Conditioner but I still have my Aussie volumizing conditioner. 





What I like about this is that it smells very light and lemon-y, it makes me feel squeaky clean. Avalon Organics Biotin B-Complex Thickening Shampoo also does not lather so much so I presume there's no Sodium Lauryl Sulfate which is almost present in all soaps and is a poison.


I like it because it does work! Although do not expect miracles and think that you would not have hair fall 100%; of course this shampoo has to be aided with proper diet and sleep. This shampoo is just an aid but not a cure. Avalon Organics Biotin B-Complex Thickening Shampoo cuts down my hair fall rate; before I used to get a lot like 20-30 strands of hair a day but now I only get around 10-20 strands depending if I slept early 
and well the night before.








What I don't like about this is that sometimes I itch all over when I rinse this off; I think there must be 
something with the ingredients that's triggering my mild skin asthma; however it's very tolerable and the pros weigh more than the cons.


Right now I'm near emptying my bottle and I will be willing to repurchase if needed!
