Wake Up Call Shampoo

Better Not Younger · For Menopause shedding · $27

Better Not Younger's Wake Up Call is a shampoo built for hair over 40, and it scores well on the brand's own store, with a brand study citing a large drop in shedding. An independent supplement reviewer declines to recommend it over fragrance while endorsing the brand's serum, and independent community reviews are scarce. It is scalp and hair care, not a treatment.
