Hair Therapy - Schwarzkopf Professional Bonacure Hair Growth Shampoo & Serum


This is my first product from Schwarzkopf Professional range which I got when my hair dresser noticed my reducing hair line and has recommended the same. I have bought this shampoo as well as a serum after going through the website. BONACURE Hair Therapy range with Amino Cell rebuild technology is suited to repair hair to prevent damage and hair loss.

Seriously speaking I am not looking for Hair Growth as I know it can't happen. I am just looking at controlling the damage and volumizing what I have. So I keep on posting about the review of the product. I tried to find about the reviews online before purchasing it but in vain. That's why I decided to go ahead and post it for all those souls who like me might look for some recommendations.

My First Experience: Well my first experience was good. Not much leather on the first use but then I used it again. I kept it for 2-3mins and then rinsed it thoroughly. I liked the gentleness of the shampoo and the rich mild fragrance it left. It's still there after three hours. My hair are still soft even after three hours. Will get back to it after a week. In the meanwhile you can check about the product:
What the product claims?
BC Hair Growth regime combines an activating shampoo, activating serum and fortifying tonic (tonic was unavailable - distributor said they have discontinued the product). It activated the roots of thinning hair and reduced premature hair loss. This regime uses active ingredients like carnitine Tartrate, Taurine and Echinacea to stimulate hair growth from the hair root and increase hair density.

Taurine: Originally extracted from bulls (Taurus in Latin) around the beginning of 19th century, Taurine is now synthetically produced and is a well-known ingredient that provides natural energy. Taurine facilitates the production of growth factors as well as providing high energy compounds.

Carnitine Tartrate: An energiser for the scalp. Its main function is to carry energy to the hair roots. Carnitine Tartrate supports the vitality of the hair roots and promoted increased cell division and cell reproduction.

Echinacea Purpurea: Echinacea is extracted from Echinacea Purpurea, a plant from the Asteraceae (Daisy( family. Echinacea comprises a complex assortment of herbal substances, and essential oils

Amino Cell Rebuild Technology: Penetrated deeply into the hair to repair the inner cell structure.

Shampoo Application: Apply to wet hair and massage thoroughly. Leave in for 2 minutes and then rinse


Serum: The serum comes in small ampules. Pump out a measurement and slowly massage into the hair and scalp. This procedure promoted blood circulation and enhances hair follicles and roots which leads to improved hair quality. It stops the formation of DHT, a chemical that stops hair growth, by removing the DHT from the hair follicles, thus freeing up the hair to grow.
The hair serum when applied on the hair and scalp reconstructs damaged hair, thickens weak or thin hair. This process not only prevents hair breakage but restores hair to its original lustre.

Serum Application: Massage adequate amount on scalp at night. Wash your hands after application.



Availability: Wellness Forever (Mumbai), Schwarzkopf Saloons (Google might help you), Schwarzkopf distributors (Just Dial might work for you), Other high end cosmetic stores.


Price of Schwarzkopf BC Hair Growth Shampoo is INR.600 (in India) for 250ml.

  3. Yups...
    Definitely I am impressed with the performance...
    Its more than a month now.. Hair fall has reduced considerably though not to zero (to acceptable levels)... Hmm.. if you want figures then I would say from 100 to 5-10...

    I use serums too.. Have consumed 4 as of now.. so you can say 1 serum lasts for a week when I use them daily at night... & yes the usage of serum is limited to effected area only...

    I can feel the growth of my hair... Thanx to Schwarzkopf for a wonderful product...

  4. I stopped to use these products because of excessive dandruff in my head as my many friends which use Schwarzkopf Bonacure Hair Growth Serum and Shampoo.

  5. Yups that's true thats one of the side effects of the products esp serum.. Even some of my friends have complaints about the same...
    I have tried using coconut oil which has helped me immensely... also I do take a B-complex and cod liver oil capsule every alternate day which keeps my head dandruff free...

  7. Hi, i am using the shampoo currently i dont have any problems with that...
    I am planning to by serum as well i have hair fall of 80-100 when ever i wash my head or oil my head... It happens only in one part of the head where the density is going down.
    If a take the serum do i need to apply every night or when ever i do head bath(thrice a week).
    And also if i want to apply every night then should i wash my hair every night ?

  8. Hi Harish,

    I am not an expert in this but my hair dresser suggested me to use it daily even without taking head wash. So its every night.

    I used serum at night and apply some oil in the morning even when I don't shampoo my hair. I do rinse my hair daily though.

    5. I am talking abt shampoo..
      I have moved to Kerastase Anti Dandruff Shampoo. It is good.
      and yes for me it seems to be far better than Schwarzkopf in terms of hair tone, colour and nourishment.

  14. Well, for me it had the opposite effect. my head started itching on applying this shampoo for first time and hair fall increased. did that happen for you too in first time??

    1. Hi... I didn't have this issue. No irritations. I would suggest you to try it one more time. Try to rinse the shampoo thoroughly. Irritation could be there if you didn't rinse properly.

      If irritation persist... DO NOT USE... it can cause harm to your scalp... Would suggest move away from Schwarzkopf... Try L'oreal Kerastase or Wella

  15. hi.. i want to use the bonacure shampoo and i was looking for any suggestions or heads up before buying it. my hair density is quiet bad and i have really thin hair and i was recommended this product in 2 different salons. I don have a dandruff problem and i don want it to start after i use this product.. do you think i can still use this shampoo?

    1. Hi,

      See.. shampoo along with serum might help you... but then yes, excessive dandruff might be an issue as could be seen with majority of the users (as I noticed though)... Do you know someone using this shampoo already? You can probably try it atleast twice in a week to check dandruff issue... Also, if the suggestion is given by Schwarzkopf saloon, you can probably ask them to shampoo your hair with the same to test..

      If you get the dandruff... I would suggest you to not to use this product and rather try Wella Energy 1.8 (I think they have now stopped this shampoo and have come up with a different name, but it was an awesome shampoo) / L'oreal or Kerastase (There are multiple).. :)

    1. Hmm... You can try... I tried it and even one of my friends but didn't find it that better..
      Do you have any other issues along with Hair fall? eg. dandruff or scaling? If you have, repair rescue is not at all for you..

  30. Hii.i am using Schwartzkopf bonacure hair activstor shampoo since 2 months. It reduced my hair fall to some extent..but it makes my hair too dry and rough.. i tried Schwarzkopf repair rescue conditioner with it but it was useless..what should i do now?

  31. I was told to try out the serum. It was in a package of 7 small bottles. The hairstylist said that it's a 7 week process when you use the serum. One little bottle can be used 2 to 3 times per week, in areas on the head where the blood flow is weak and muscles are not present (so basically the top of your head) and gently rub it on the scalp. He said there should be results and we will see. I think there is an improvement and that my hair is more dense.
