This shampoo and conditioner is almost identical to the redken one in terms of ingredients (because they are made by the same company) but it’s a cheaper option! I’ve used both and I feel like they give the same results.

Both scalp oil and hair oil are important for hair growth and hairloss prevention. I use scalp oil before wash days to improve scalp health and promote hair growth. I use hair oil every night on the ends of my hair to prevent split ends and dryness.
