Updated and checked on 6 September 2026.
In short: massage the shampoo into wet hair, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Apply the serum directly to the scalp with its nozzle, massage gently and do not rinse. The label directs daily serum use, including non-wash days. Choose this duo for a cleanse-plus-leave-in routine—not as a medical hair-regrowth treatment.
Why this duo is relevant now
By net units sold during the 90 days ending 6 September 2026, the serum is among VivaVoss’s current top-selling products. This is a first-party demand signal from this store’s customers, not a market-wide bestseller claim or proof of effectiveness.

2. Balea Professional “Growth + Strength” Scalp Serum, 150 ml
This serum is a cosmetic leave-in scalp product. Its nozzle helps place it between the hair directly on the scalp. Massage gently and evenly every day, do not rinse, then style as usual. The listed formula contains Alcohol Denat. and fragrance ingredients; a cautious patch test is sensible for a sensitive scalp.

Correct order on wash days and between washes
- Wet the hair and scalp fully.
- Massage in the shampoo gently and rinse carefully with lukewarm water.
- Finish washing, then part the hair and use the nozzle to apply the serum directly to the scalp. The label does not explicitly require a wet or dry scalp; the delivered pack remains authoritative.
- Massage the serum gently and evenly, leave it in and style as usual.
- On non-wash days, continue daily serum use as directed. Do not apply more than the pack instructs.
Do you need the matching conditioner?
A conditioner is not essential to establish the basic cleanse-then-leave-in order. However, the manufacturer’s broader statement for the range expressly refers to the combined use of shampoo, conditioner and serum. This two-product guide therefore does not transfer a full three-product system claim to shampoo and serum alone.
What is in the exact VivaVoss-listed versions?
Shared listed ingredients include Caffeine, Arginine, Glycine Soja Germ Extract, Triticum Vulgare Germ Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Parfum and Linalool. The shampoo is a surfactant-based rinse-off cleanser; the serum stays on the scalp and contains Alcohol Denat. Formulas can change—always check the delivered pack.

A matching name alone is not enough for identification; check the name, size, GTIN and INCI on delivery.
Realistic expectations and scalp safety
- “Growth + Strength” is the English translation of the German range name “Wachstum + Stärke”; it is not a guarantee of new hair growth.
- These are cosmetics; they do not treat alopecia, hormonal hair loss or scalp disease.
- Do not apply to broken or severely irritated scalp. Stop if burning, redness or persistent irritation occurs.
- Sudden, patchy or persistent heavy hair loss, pain or marked scaling warrants medical assessment.
- No fixed result timeline is promised. The current official product pages do not guarantee a result after twelve weeks.
Who may prefer this duo?
It best suits someone seeking a clear wash-day shampoo plus daily leave-in scalp-care routine. The alcohol- and fragrance-containing serum may be less suitable for a very dry, irritated or fragrance-sensitive scalp. Condition the hair lengths separately if needed.

Frequently asked questions
Which comes first, shampoo or serum?
Massage shampoo into wet hair and rinse first. Then apply serum directly to the scalp, massage and leave it in.
Can I use the serum every day?
Yes. The listed label directions specify daily use, including non-wash days, according to the delivered pack.
Does the serum go on a wet or dry scalp?
The listed direction does not explicitly specify either. Apply directly to the scalp and follow the instructions on your delivered version.
Will this duo regrow hair?
The checked product information makes no medical promise of hair regrowth. These products are cosmetic care, not a hair-loss treatment.
When should I expect results?
There is no responsibly guaranteed timeline. This guide analyses labels and usage; it is not an independent efficacy trial.
