I tested Chāmpo’s TikTok-viral hair growth serum for three months – and here are the results

A bottle of Pitta Growth Serum sells every 30 seconds, but is it actually any good?

When I heard that a bottle of Chāmpo pitta growth serum sells every 30 seconds, I immediately bagged myself one and put it to the test. My hair has always been long but never thick and after years of applying straighteners, it’s now even thinner, causing me to lose confidence in wearing my hair up.

I’ve seen numerous hair growth products taking over my TikTok feed but Chāmpo’s celebrity-approved products (which count Sophie Habboo and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley as my fans) are seemingly revolutionary. Rosie’s hairstylist recommends the serum to improve hair thickness and fullness while Sophie is forever endorsing Chāmpo on her podcast, Wednesdays.

For the past twelve weeks, I have been religiously applying the Pitta Growth Serum, £34 to my scalp, targeting the finer areas and I finally have a noticeably new hairline.

I recommend applying the serum before bed as it’s easy to incorporate into a nighttime routine. I was initially sceptical of using it on freshly washed hair, but it's non-greasy and leaves zero residue, meaning it’s suitable for all hair types hurrah.

Hair growth before and after

The application is surprisingly easy as the bottle comes with a pipette which you apply directly to your scalp. You only need a few drops so the bottle feels like it lasts forever. There’s no scent and the consistency is lightweight and applies seamlessly. I’ve tried so many different shampoos, hair masks and scalp massage techniques and nothing has worked quite like this. Reader, I am telling all my friends about it.

This serum is clinically proven to reduce hair loss and shedding while visibly improving hair’s thickness and fullness. The hair growth treatment specifically addresses the DHT hormone during the transitional phase of the natural hair growth cycle (3-4 weeks). Apply to your scalp, targeting the finer areas for twelve weeks to notice clear results.
