As the seasons change, it can be a good time to switch up a haircare routine and try new styling or styling products. Cooler weather can leave hair feeling drier, while a new season is also a good excuse to experiment with products designed to add volume, strength and shine.
Thinning hair can be a natural part of ageing, while hormonal changes during menopause can also affect hair’s texture, thickness and overall appearance. But older shoppers have praised a budget-friendly shampoo they say has helped give them their ‘beautiful hair back’ – and it’s currently available at half price.
The Give Me Cosmetics Rooting For You Shampoo has been reduced to £3.50, down from £6.99, as part of the brand’s Early Bird Black Friday deals. For those wanting to complete their haircare routine, the Rooting For You Shampoo and Conditioner Set has also been reduced to £6, down from £12.
The haircare range is designed to help balance the scalp while strengthening hair from root to tip. It could be worth considering for those dealing with dry, fragile or ageing hair.
The Rooting For You Shampoo features coconut oil, which assists in increasing hydration levels, along with mango seed oil to amplify the hair’s natural lustre. It also includes pro-vitamin B5, a component frequently found in hair products to help lock in moisture and enhance the hair’s overall look.

Back at Give Me Cosmetics, the Rooting For You Shampoo has received excellent feedback from customers, with one reviewer commenting: “I have always used (GMC’s) Blue Clarifying Shampoo and Conditioner but made the change when Root For You came along – the best change we’ve ever made.
“It’s creamy but lightweight, soothes my dry scalp and leaves a beautiful healthy shine…The condition of my hair was the first to alter during menopause: dry, lank and fine. This shampoo and conditioner have finally given me my beautiful hair back.”
Another customer remarked: “Second time to buy this, really great shampoo and conditioner leaves your hair feeling soft and silky, but not so soft that you can’t style as normal. I would highly recommend these; they smell so so good too.”
Reviews have been entirely positive thus far. However, since everyone’s hair is different, it’s advisable to check the ingredients and suitability for your hair type to ensure it’s the right fit.
Meanwhile, a customer who purchased the Rooting for you Shampoo and Conditioner Duo shared: “I like to wash my hair every day, but am also peri-menopausal so I need nourishment for my ageing locks.
“This shampoo and conditioner works for me with a gentle shampoo that still cleans my hair and a creamy nourishing conditioner. I thought this was aimed more at the teen market so haven’t purchased before, but will now purchase again.”
Another satisfied buyer added: “This is very good, leaves hair feeling soft and thicker and smells nice.”
While a further customer noted: “Great for finer hair, left my hair feeling fuller and with more volume. Brushing was so easy using this product.” another added: “I been using the roots duo for a few weeks and I am so speechless they have been absolutely amazing, made my hair feel amazing and so lovely.”
