But, I’ve got ya!
I have taken a deep dive into two beasts in the hair growth game and gone head to head with them: The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum vs. Wild Growth Hair Oil.
We’re looking at things like:
- Efficacy
- Application method (whether you want a topical or pill specifically, this is good to know)
- Hair suitability (some topical products don’t work as well for different hair types)
- How long to results?
- Price (which, of course, overall will be determined by how it takes to get results
- And all the rest…

Initial Impressions and Ease of Use
First Thoughts: When I first got my hands on The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density, I was intrigued but skeptical. The product claims to improve hair density and I was curious to see if it could live up to that promise. The minimalist packaging is classic for The Ordinary, with no-frills yet functional.
Application Process: Using the serum is pretty straightforward. It comes with a dropper which makes it easy to apply directly onto the scalp. I usually part my hair in sections and apply a few drops to each part, making sure to distribute it evenly. It’s best used at night as it needs time to work into your scalp without interference from styling products or external factors.
User Experience: It’s a lightweight serum; not greasy or sticky which I appreciate because it doesn’t make my hair look oily after application. However, patience is key – results are not overnight and consistent use over weeks or even months is necessary before noticing any changes.
Effects on Hair and Scalp Health
Hair Improvement Over Time: Now here’s where things get personal – some users might see drastic improvements while others notice subtle changes. For me, after about two months of consistent nightly use, I began noticing baby hairs sprouting up along my hairline where thinning had started becoming evident.
Scalp Sensitivity: One thing that isn’t often talked about in reviews but should be noted – if you have a sensitive scalp, this product could cause some irritation initially. In my case though, there wasn’t any redness or itching but always do a patch test first just in case.
Scent and Texture After Application
I’m sensitive to strong scents in hair products so luckily this serum has only a faint chemical smell that dissipates quickly upon application. As mentioned earlier, the texture is agreeable as it doesn’t leave residue behind nor does it weigh down fine strands – something other serums are guilty of doing!
The Waiting Game and Effectiveness Concerns
So let’s touch on effectiveness – because what good is a product if it doesn’t deliver? If you’re hunting for immediate results you may end up disappointed; this serum plays the long game which can be both good and bad depending on how urgently you’re wanting change.
Pricing Considerations and Final Verdicts
In terms of price point compared with other hair growth serums out there – The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density comes off as economical without being cheaply made. If asked whether I’d buy again? Yes—but with the caveat that others manage their expectations: This isn’t a magic potion but rather another tool in the quest for fuller locks so give ample time before making your final judgment.
Wild Growth Hair Oil
Active Ingredients: Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil, Coconut Oil
Hair Type Suitability: All Hair Types
Usage Frequency: Varied
What The Sales Page Doesn’t Tell You About Wild Growth Hair Oil
First Impressions & Packaging
So, here’s the thing about Wild Growth Hair Oil: you look at the bottle, and it’s not exactly screaming luxe or modern. It’s pretty basic, and honestly, if I hadn’t heard about it through word of mouth, I might’ve just walked past it in the store. That said, let’s not judge a book by its cover—or in this case, a hair product by its packaging. The applicator tip is a nice touch, though. It makes applying the oil directly to your scalp easy-peasy without making a mess or wasting product.
When you first crack that bottle open—whoa! The smell hits you. It’s strong and herbal; some people might even call it pungent. Definitely something to keep in mind if you’re sensitive to strong scents or plan on using it before heading out. But hey, that scent is also how you know this stuff is packed with all sorts of natural oils and extracts. It’s like an intense salad for your scalp.
Application & Consistency
Applying Wild Growth Hair Oil is kind of a unique experience. I won’t lie; the consistency threw me off at first—it’s thick but not super sticky. You’d think something this dense would weigh down your hair big time, but surprisingly enough (and thankfully), it doesn’t turn your hair into an oil slick as long as you’re careful with how much you use.
A little goes a long way here—something that they don’t plaster all over the product page but really should because overdoing it can lead to an oily scalp situation nobody wants to deal with. I usually dab on small amounts focusing on areas where my hair feels thinner or where growth seems slower.
The Waiting Game (Results)
If patience isn’t your virtue then brace yourself because results from Wild Growth Hair Oil aren’t instant—it’s more like playing the long game with your hair care routine.
I will say that after consistent use over weeks (we’re talking at least two months), I noticed some changes—the usual suspects like flyaways seemed tamer and overall my hair had more sheen which was nice to see! But for those claiming overnight growth miracles? Yeah… don’t bank on waking up with Rapunzel locks.
In terms of actual hair growth improvement, progress was there but subtle; however, my ends did feel stronger which meant fewer trips for trims—which is kind of awesome and definitely worth mentioning.
The Nitty-Gritty: What Could Be Better?
While there are upsides like promoting healthier-looking locks and potentially stronger strands too—there are some downsides based on my experience: – Smell: The intense herbal fragrance isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and can be overwhelming. – Greasiness: Overapplication can lead to an unpleasant greasy feeling so restraint is key. – Ambiguous Results: While there were improvements in texture and strength for me personally, actual growth acceleration wasn’t dramatic. – Accessibility & Information: You find out more through trial/error than from the product page or label which could be improved upon. In summary? Wild Growth Hair Oil feels like it could be one of those hidden gems—if only they bumped up their presentation game slightly (think clearer instructions) and maybe offered a lighter scented version for those who prefer subtler notes in their beauty care staples.

First Thoughts: The Ordinary’s minimalist approach contrasts with Wild Growth’s basic look. For a sleek, lab-like vibe, The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density takes the lead.Application Process: Both products offer targeted application, but The Ordinary’s dropper is more precise than Wild Growth’s tip. The Ordinary edges out for precision.
User Experience: Neither product is overly greasy, but The Ordinary’s non-sticky, lightweight formula makes it a winner for those who dislike oily residues.
Effects on Hair and Scalp Health
Hair Improvement Over Time: It’s a tie here. Both products show results over time with consistent use, promoting hair health improvement.Scalp Sensitivity: The Ordinary might cause irritation for some, so it’s essential to patch test. However, with no significant issues reported, it’s a draw with Wild Growth Hair Oil.
