My hair often felt dry and brittle before I realized the importance of scalp care. “Hair follicle bulbs, the bottom-most portion of the hair follicle, reside in the dermis,” explains board-certified dermatologist Brendan Camp, MD. “Healthy skin is important for the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the hair bulb and the growth of healthy hair.” The same way that you cleanse, exfoliate, treat, and moisturize your face to make way for a glowing complexion holds true for the scalp.
While I had a pretty stacked hair-care regimen filled with shampoos, conditioners, detanglers, and oils, I didn’t have an elixir formulated soothe, hydrate, and balance. Then, I finally picked up the Vegamour Gro Hair Serum that laid dormant on my shelf in the Vogue beauty closet, started applying it a few times weekly, and watched my hair transform.

- Why We Love It: The Vegamour Gro serum is like a wellness approach to haircare. The formula utilizes a plant exosome technology that’s inspired by regenerative medicine, according to the brand’s chief marketing officer Michelle Miller. “Each bottle contains over a trillion plant-derived exosomes engineered to support thicker, fuller-looking hair. Combined with peptides and clinically-tested ingredients like red clover and mung bean, the formula strengthens hair at the root and supports scalp health—without harsh chemicals or hormones.”

Before I started using hair serums, I didn’t realize my scalp was in distress, there were certainly signs. I was experiencing some flaking and tenderness, especially when styling and drying, despite not having a ‘sensitive’ scalp. “When the scalp becomes compromised from buildup, dryness, or inflammation, the hair reflects that imbalance,” explains professional hairstylist Jewells Hingorani. “Signs such as flaking, irritation, excess oil, or tenderness often indicate the scalp barrier needs rebalancing and care.” In such cases, it’s hair serums to the rescue. “Hair serums should be viewed as water- or oil-based products that provide moisture, protection, and/or styling benefits for scalp or hair fibers and deliver optimal results in a weightless formulation,” New York City trichologist Bridgette Hill previously told Vogue—adding that by “creating a healthier scalp microbiome and hair follicle, which increases the numbers of hair fibers that each follicle produces” these topical treatments can improve signs of hair loss, density, and strength.
Gentle, plant-powered, and designed to support overall hair health, the Vegamour GRO serum was an easy choice for me to address these concerns. According to Miller, the brand’s chief marketing officer, the formula fuses wellness with longevity and science. “It treats the visible effects of hair aging—thinning, loss of elasticity, and diminished strength—not as isolated concerns, but as reflections of deeper imbalances within the body and scalp,” she says. “The GRO Hair Serum is powered by a clinically tested, biotech-driven formula that supports thicker, fuller-looking hair by addressing the key factors that contribute to thinning.”
