Fuller Hair in 120 Days? My Journey with Vegamour's GRO+ Advanced Hair Care System

Lifestyle, MotherhoodAmanda Walter | Maple AlpsComment

Ready to talk hair care? I’m back with another exciting collaboration with my friends from Vegamour, and I can't wait to share the latest in my hair care journey! Vegamour is a brand that aligns so well with my values—they’re vegan, cruelty-free, hormone-free, and their products are clinically tested. Today, I’m diving into their newest launch that claims to give you fuller-looking hair within 90-120 days—how amazing is that? 



If you’ve been following me for a while, you may remember my earlier post about daily habits for your thirties. Back then, I partnered with Vegamour to try their lash and brow serums and the original GRO serum, and I was so impressed with the results! My lashes and brows were noticeably fuller, and my hair felt healthier than ever. So naturally, when they reached out for another collaboration, I jumped at the chance.




Introducing Vegamour’s GRO+ Advanced System


This year, Vegamour introduced their GRO+ Advanced System—specifically designed for severe shedding. As someone who has experienced three pregnancies in the last four years (hello, motherhood!), my hair has been through a lot. Postpartum shedding is real, and let me tell you, it’s not fun. So, when I heard about this new system, I knew it could be a game-changer for me and anyone else dealing with thinning hair or major shedding.




The GRO+ Advanced System is co-developed with dermatologists, which reassures me that it’s not just another product with lofty promises. This is a truly extra-strength system designed for those of us who need serious help with our hair. I’m excited to see if this can really make a difference after dealing with years of postpartum hair thinning.




What’s in the Box?


Vegamour kindly sent me their full GRO+ Advanced Kit, which includes:

- GRO+ Advanced Hair Serum

- GRO+ Advanced Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner Kit




GRO+ Advanced Hair Serum

This serum has all the makings of a hair-saver. It’s designed to:

- Improve hair density

- Reduce shedding

- Hydrate the scalp to support the skin barrier



What makes this serum stand out is the blend of powerful, antioxidant-rich ingredients. It features Rhapontic Rhubarb Root and Japanese Beauty Berry Extract both of which are apparently known for their hair-thickening properties. These ingredients work together to create the perfect environment for healthy hair growth. The serum also includes Spanish Microalgae, a prebiotic superfood that helps to hydrate and rebalance the scalp environment. As if that’s not enough, plant stem cells are also part of the formula. They help to anchor the hair follicles at the root, allowing thinning hair to thrive once again.



This combination of ingredients sounds like exactly what my hair has been craving. Postpartum shedding can leave hair feeling weak and fragile, so I’m hoping this serum will be the secret weapon to get my hair back on track.




GRO+ Advanced Shampoo and Conditioner

Now, let’s talk about the shampoo and conditioner. This duo is inspired by skincare principles, and I love how the same ingredients that work for your skin can also benefit your scalp. 



The GRO+ Advanced Shampoo is formulated to:

- Exfoliate the scalp and gently remove buildup

- Help fragile, thinning hair feel nourished from the root




It includes Niacinamide and Spanish Microalgae to help promote a balanced scalp environment. The exfoliating effect is crucial because it clears away buildup that can clog hair follicles and prevent hair growth. Plus, it’s gentle, which is important when your hair is already delicate from shedding.



The GRO+ Advanced Conditioner is equally impressive. It’s free from silicones, which can sometimes weigh hair down, and instead, it’s packed with marula oil. Marula oil is known for its hydrating and shine-boosting properties, so I’m looking forward to seeing how this conditioner can improve the manageability and overall health of my hair. I also love how it leaves hair hydrated without making it greasy or heavy—something that’s essential for anyone dealing with thinning or fragile hair.

Why I Love Vegamour

One of the reasons I keep coming back to Vegamour is their commitment to creating products that are not only effective but also ethical. Their products are completely vegan, hormone-free, and cruelty-free, meaning I can feel good about using them. It’s also worth mentioning that their formulations are co-developed with dermatologists, so they’re backed by science, not just marketing hype. 


Another thing that stands out to me is Vegamour’s focus on sustainability. From the ingredients they use to their packaging, it’s clear that a lot of thought goes into making sure their process is as eco-friendly as possible. The packaging I received was not only gorgeous but also mostly recyclable, which is a win in my book!

First Impressions: Unboxing the GRO+ Advanced System

When my Vegamour box arrived, I was so excited to dive in. The packaging, as always, was beautiful—minimalistic yet elegant. I appreciate the effort they put into making the unboxing experience feel special. And as someone who is trying to reduce waste, I love that most of the packaging is recyclable. Everything arrived in perfect condition, and I immediately wanted to start using the products.



What’s Next?

So, what’s the verdict so far? I’m only just starting to use the GRO+ Advanced System, so I can’t give you a full review yet—but my initial impressions are very positive. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be using the serum, shampoo, and conditioner regularly to see how they work on my shedding-prone hair. I’m particularly excited to see if the serum lives up to its claim of reducing shedding and boosting hair density within 90-120 days.


Stay tuned for my full review, where I’ll break down how these products perform and whether they’re worth adding to your hair care routine. If you’re struggling with thinning hair or postpartum shedding like I am, this might be the solution we’ve been waiting for. 


I can’t wait to share my results with you all! Until then, if you’re interested in learning more about Vegamour and their range of products, you can check them out here.

Daily Habits for your Thirties (with Vegamour)

Lifestyle, Natural LivingAmanda Walter | Maple AlpsComment

Now that my thirties are well underway, I’ve reevaluated my daily habits. It turns out that time goes by much quicker than one would think and how I am more than halfway to my sixties is a pretty insane thought. I have seen so many posts about habits to start in your twenties and thirties, so I thought I’d share some habits I’ve adopted in this decade as well. Number 3 is my current favorite, thanks to Vegamour.

Skincare Routine

Having a skincare routine is important! I realized this soon after quitting makeup, and I haven’t looked back. I started taking my skincare routine seriously a few years back and was reminded when I was at another friend’s thirtieth how important it was. Someone was sharing advice for her to take into this decade and she mentioned having a good skincare routine! It doesn’t have to be a thirteen-step process, either. Just consistent, and with clean products to get the day off your face (this is my favorite system and you can get it on Amazon!).





Get Outside

Fresh air is good for the lungs and good for the soul. It’s amazing how a mood can change if I just get outside every day to take some deep breaths and enjoy the nature around me. It doesn’t have to be a long time or even involve a walk, either, though it can! I love my daily walks.





Haircare Routine

Hair is another thing to take care of. I always have to think about the Bible verse about how hair is a woman’s crown. I always feel better when my hair is taken care of, and not neglected and then thrown into a top knot. I can definitely tell my hair is aging with me, even if the greys are far and few in-between. I was also a little nervous about the infamous hair loss after giving birth.


The fine folks at Vegamour sent me their GRO serum and lash serum to try out and let’s just say I’ve found a new haircare staple. Both serums are fantastic. Vegamour is a vegan, cruelty-free, hormone-free, and clinically tested serum that claims to give you fuller-looking hair in 90-120 days. I’ll admit that even though I had been looking at their products for a while, I was rather skeptical. How could a serum combat thinning hair and reduce hair loss? After some research, I agreed to give it a try and after just a few months of daily use, I definitely notice a difference in thickness and growth (especially after that dreaded postpartum hair loss!). I don’t shed as much hair either, with no weird side effects. My hair definitely appears and feels much healthier too. Plus, the serum itself is not sticky or gross and smells fantastic. The lash and brow serum are equally as fantastic. I will continue using everything they sent!



Of course, it’s important to implement a lot more like stress relief and nutrition to maximize hair health, but Vegamour is definitely a great natural supplement to try! I can recommend Vegamour. They also have tons of great information on their website about healthy habits that affect hair (as well as amazing before and after pictures from other satisfied customers!).



Exercise

Even just 15 minutes of loving movement (what I’m calling exercise in this season of life) a day is something. Carving out time to consistently move your body is so important - especially if you’re living that stationary desk job life like I do most days. I always feel great after a workout - even if I don’t feel like getting one in. My favorite thing to do if I’m short on time is sneaking in a quick Pilates routine, which leaves me feeling strong and flexible. (Try my favorite membership for $20 off!)

Drink Water

I’ll pair this with “and drink less sugary drinks,” which is probably harder for me than increasing water intake. Growing up, I heard the narrative that water is gross, so I never gravitated toward drinking it. Turns out that water isn’t gross at all, and is actually super necessary for our bodies! And sugar is terrible for us. I recently also found out that our brains are made up of 73% water and that dehydration has been linked to depression and anxiety. So. Drink up!

Morning and Evening Routines

These are nothing new for me, but it turns out that morning and evening routines are fluid and change depending on what season of life you’re in. For me, that looks like adding in starting a load of laundry every morning in this season and factoring in an infant’s nighttime routine into my own evening routine. It also means that I need to learn to be more flexible when things need to change and require adapting. Change is hard for me, and routines are required for my sanity, but without them in place, they can’t help when I need them.

 

What are some of the routines or habits you adapt? I’d love to hear about them!
