Whitney Port isn’t shy about sharing her hair loss journey. In a recent Instagram Reel, the 39-year-old Hills alum opened up about the “major hair loss” she experienced due to “all of [her] fertility treatments and hormones”—and the hair serum that’s been a “life-saver” in helping restore her hair growth.

"Hair thinning has been suuuch a thing for me over the last 6 months," she wrote in the caption of her post. "Everytime I looked at my hairbrush I felt like there was SO much hair in it, like too much, you knowwww? Not fun. I’ve been really consistent with @the_rootist Densifying & Thickening Serum which has been really helping, and I’m especially noticing hair growth around my hairline which is usually my biggest insecurity."

In the video, she showed her 1.4 million Instagram followers how she applies "two to three drops around the scalp every single morning, especially to the front areas where I have the most breakage." She massages it in, praising the serum for "completely saving her scalp," noting how it's non-greasy and easy to let air dry so she can go about her day as usual.

The hair serum combines densifying peptides, stem cells from turmeric extract, and a patent-pending rootbiomic ferment that the brand claims has been clinically shown to reduce hair fallout and shedding by up to 85 percent. It’s also a hit with Sephora shoppers. One reviewer, who described the serum as "essential" and gave it five stars, shared: "After 2 pregnancies & as a breastfeeding mom, my hair has definitely become thinner. But after using the protist for 60 days, I’ve noticed my hair looking thicker, and definitely am experiencing less fallout."

Another happy customer wrote: "I have been using this product for the past two months and have been incredibly impressed! My hair is shedding much less and I have noticed a ton of baby hairs popping up so I know that it is working to stimulate my scalp!" Ready to give it a try? Shop it below.
