Shampoo & Scalp Care Well documented
Dr. Groot Thickening Shampoo
Dr. Groot (LG H&H) · For Menopause shedding · $33 (13oz)
Dr. Groot is a Korean thickening shampoo that editors rate highly and users find pleasant, with less greasiness and a fresh feel. Treat it as good scalp care rather than a treatment: it can make hair feel fuller and cleaner, but a shampoo does not change pattern hair loss. At around $33 it is pricey for the category.
Who it is for
- You want a nicer daily shampoo that leaves hair feeling fuller
- You like Korean scalp-care formulas
Who it is not for
- You expect a shampoo to change shedding
- You have a dry, easily tight scalp
What users report
- Editors ranked it among the best thickening shampoos they tested (review coverage)
- Users report less greasiness, less flaking, and a fuller feel (forums)
Complaints and concerns

- Expensive for a shampoo, which draws some pushback (user reviews)
Before you try it
- It is scalp care, not a hair-loss treatment
- Go gentler if your scalp runs dry
