This is one of the few hair range products from Biotique which I absolutely would recommend to anyone especially if they have sensitive scalp or suffer with scalp issues.
Price: 159 INR for 120 ml (little pricy, I guess!!!)
My Experience
Ok, so let me start with its smell. Really weird and very herbal but not very offensive so nothing to worry about.
Now, the look and feel. It is watery. Entirely watery and not a gel or a fluid or even a slight bit viscous. When you pour the product on to your hand, it runs and escapes almost like water. So, that becomes a problem with the product. Since its so watery, the application is a little difficult so you have to figure out the exact method on how to apply.
My favourite way is to use the Wella hair developer which I use to apply hair oil too. That way, you can be sure you have covered every area on your scalp and the product doesn’t go waste coz it gets applied on the scalp. And, while applying, you would automatically need to massage the product in otherwise it will run off the scalp. Now, let me talk a little about the product now.
Biotique says This intensive serum helps stimulate new and healthy hair growth. Leaves scalp feeling exhilarated, free from dryness and irritation.When you apply it to the scalp, it feels very cool and soothing to the scalp. It is very good for the scalp which is pretty sensitive and itchy. It calms the scalp on the days when your hair is paining or scalp is aching.Well, regarding the hair growth claims, I am not completely sure but I am not even ruling it out coz I have definitely seen some changes but since I am not entirely sure, I will talk about this claim if I see any positive proof of this claim.One more thing which I would add to the positives of this product is that it relives the dryness and oiliness of the scalp. Yes, it can do both. I don’t know how it is possible but I think it balances out the oil production. The proof for this is that I have dry scalp sometimes which is easily cured when I apply this. And, once I had applied this after oiling my hair since I didn’t wash it that day, my scalp looked almost oil free after a while.A word of caution is that this product is only for the scalp and not the hair so it shouldn’t be applied on the hair. And, massaging the product in improves blood circulation too. And, after applying this product, do not comb your hair because the scalp is little wet with the product and hairs may break if you try to comb. I always apply this product at night and this can be applied everyday without fail. It doesn’t make the scalp greasy or anything so one need not worry about that. This product is suitable for every kind of hair type and scalp type.My RecommendationYes, absolutely coz it is very effective and not that expensive.

hi swati,
have fallen in love with your blog. just tell me one thing- is this serum supposed to be applied, massaged and left overnight only to be washed off in the morning with shampoo. the instructions on the bottle says- apply on scalp and style how you want.
i have dry and itchy scalp problem, otherwise have thick hair.
Swati Murti says
hi Priya…thank you so much and don’t forget to check out the giveaway as well 🙂
no, this is a very watery serum which is to be applied only into the scalp and you have to lightly massage the scalp to enhance the absorption…since it is completely watery, it gets absorbed nicely and doesn’t leave any residue. you can apply this at any time. you need not wash it off. it doesn’t weigh down the hair. its not a serum…its a tonic kind of a thing. you can use this daily as well without the need to wash off your hair and it doesn’t attract dust either. hope this answers your doubt 🙂

Hi Swati!
I stumbled across your blog while looking for Kama reviews. I stay on Rajbhavan Road so will go to The Park and see if they have that Brigandi oil.
On a different note, I have started using this serum for a few days now and it does make my head feel lighter – the massage really helps after a hard day at work 🙂 I am using this with the Bio Kelp shampoo and also once a week I am using the Bio Bringraj oil. So far so good 🙂 Also, I absolutely love your blog!
Swati Murti says

btw, did you buy the oil??? and, thanks so much for your kind words 🙂 and, i am so glad the serum is working for you 🙂
