Returning to the ‘Days of Glorious Bombshells’
A Return to ‘Bombshell Glory Days’: Briogeo Destined for Density Peptide Shampoo Review
If there’s one category of beauty that we’re ultra-passionate about, it’s haircare. So we gathered a group of testers with thinning hair to try 20 shampoos that strengthen and regrow locks, and there was one that rose to the top. Before our test, Jaclyn Mastropasqua, a PEOPLE staffer and haircare enthusiast in her early 30s, described her strands as dry and thinning — but after over a year of using the Briogeo Destined for Density Peptide Shampoo, Jaclyn’s hair has been restored to its “bombshell glory days.” Her words, not ours.
Ingredients: Caffeine, biotin, copper peptides, zinc | Hair type: All | Size: 8 ounces | Benefits: Stimulates scalp circulation, nourishes, strengthens, encourages regrowth
For our test, Jaclyn used the Briogeo shampoo over the course of eight weeks. However, she continued using the shampoo for the next year to see how the results changed over time. She used the shampoo three times a week when she’d normally wash her hair, massaging it into her wet hair to create a good lather. She said her hair felt “better than ever before” after rinsing the formula out, and she didn’t feel the need to double cleanse.
This shampoo hit all of the criteria that Jaclyn was looking for in a thinning hair shampoo. With an antioxidant-rich energy complex, biotin, and copper peptides, the formula boosts density, stimulates scalp circulation, and targets the roots for fuller, stronger hair. The Briogeo shampoo is said to work with all hair types, but given these qualities, it’s especially great for those with thinning hair.
Dr. Craig Ziering, board-certified dermatologist and hair transplant surgeon, recommends looking for biotin and caffeine in your shampoo — the two main ingredients in this product.
Dr. Sanjay Batra, a hair loss specialist and co-founder of WeThrivv suggests looking for “disinfectant ingredients” such as “carnosic acid from rosemary or terpinen-4-ol from tea tree oil” to control the overgrowth of microbes on the scalp and promote good bacteria. He says it’s like “medicine for your scalp.”
Having tried several density-building products already (as a self-proclaimed Vegamour fan), Jaclyn appreciated that the Briogeo formula created a nice lather and actually made her hair feel clean — a roadblock she’d run into before. She also liked the fragrant scent and ultra-shiny and smooth results.
It’s nourishing enough on its own, but you can complete the set with the correlating caffeine and biotin-boosted conditioner that goes along with it.
“It smells feminine and feels like it’s truly made for women.” —Jaclyn Mastropasqua, PEOPLE Tester
The Results
Did your hair appear thicker and fuller after the testing period?
Yes, it gave me body back in my hair. The few spots that I was worried about have filled in.
Was it smoother, shinier, or less frizzy?
My hair looks smoother and shinier than ever — it gave me my confidence back.
Did your hair feel weighed down after using the product?
No! This product gave me my hair back. It transformed my thinning, dying hair into its bombshell glory days. Just call up Cher and tell her that we found a way to turn back time.
How was the shampoo on your scalp?
I have extremely dry skin all over and usually have a flaky, dry scalp, but this formula was gentle. Before, the days in between my washes would look like I hadn’t bathed in months — now, it always looks freshly washed.
What did you think of the scent?
It smells like I’ve been galloping in a field of daisies. I would have never thought that something that is supposed to be good for your hair would smell this divine.
At the end of the test, were your results comparable to what the product advertised?
Yes! Noticeably. I’m getting compliments on my hair.
How long until you noticed any results?
I saw the results almost immediately. I did cheat and used a cheap shampoo and conditioner when I went away for a day. Just one wash and my hair turned its back on me. Long story short, I can’t ever go back and will have to live off this product for the rest of my life.
Other Products to Consider for Thinning Hair
Per Jaclyn, the Briogeo Destined for Density Peptide Shampoo is worth it because the formula deeply cleanses without over-stripping the hair, has a fabulous scent, and creates visibly fuller results. After a year’s worth of use, Jaclyn still praises it for having “helped break the cycle” of dry, dull hair.
That said, the second bottle hasn’t been as successful. She’s currently using the Zain1 Natural Hair Growth Shampoo With Snail Mucin to assist her hair’s growth, but still recommends the Briogeo shampoo for someone who needs to give their hair a good shock and a step toward more fullness.

Aidan Quinn reveals why he’s really not in ‘Practical Magic 2’

“Practical Magic” star Aidan Quinn said he wasn’t asked to be part of the sequel.
Quinn, 67, played detective Gary Hallet in the 1998 film, who was the love interest of Sandra Bullock’s character, Sally Owens.
Both Bullock and Nicole Kidman — who played Gillian Owens — returned for “Practical Magic 2,” and are seen in the trailer that dropped Monday. But Quinn was noticeably absent, despite Gary and Sally ending up together in the original film.
In an interview with SPIN 1038 from February, Quinn said he wasn’t asked to be in “Practical Magic 2,” but said that if he was, he would have been game to reprise his role.
“Of course I would,” he said.
Quinn said he had “lovely” memories of working with Bullock and Kidman.
“They were both great to work with,” he shared. “You know, most of my stuff was with Sandy but they were both phenomenal to work with.”
“We had a good time,” he added.
“Practical Magic 2” revisits the Owens family, a multi-generational family of witches. Judging from the trailer, Sally and Gillian appear to be single.
“Everyone we loves dies,” Sally says.
Gillian adds, “A really horrible death. But it’s just not great for the Tinder bio.”
Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest are also returning for the sequel, and newcomers include Lee Pace and Joey King.
It’s set to hit theaters on Sept. 11.
Bullock made her Instagram debut last week to promote the film, with her celeb friends overjoyed at her arrival on the app.
Reese Witherspoon commented, “IG just got a lot better 😘,” while Jennifer Aniston wrote, “She’s here! ❤️😘.”
Bullock, 61, also made her red carpet return last week after a four-year hiatus from the spotlight at CinemaCon 2026. She joined Kidman to promote “Practical Magic 2,” wowing in a bright red pantsuit.

Jane Seymour continues her 75th birthday celebration with her ‘Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman’ co-stars

Jane Seymour celebrated her 75th birthday with her former “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman” co-stars.
Although the actress’ actual birthday is February 15, the star celebrated with her former co-stars Joe Lando, Jessica Bowman, Brandon Douglas, Jonelle Allen, Frank Collision, Jason Leland Adams, Erika Flores and Shawn Toovey.
The event was thrown by her Open Hearts Foundation, featuring a western-themed jubilee.
Seymour appeared on “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman” from 1993 until 1998.
She played Michaela Quinn in the series; the show was set in the 1800s.
Lando played her love interest, Byron Sully on the show.
Seymour had a Western-themed cake and decor that featured images of her as well as cookies with her face on them, as seen on Instagram.
She captioned the post: “The Jubilee was far more than a celebration. It was a beautiful reminder of how deeply connected we are through the people we love, the memories we share, and the kindness we carry forward.”
Adding: “To see so many dear friends from so many chapters of my life, including some I hadn’t seen in decades, was incredibly moving.”
“I’m filled with gratitude for everyone who came, everyone who helped bring the celebration to life, every fan who has walked this journey with me, and every person who continues to support @openheartsfoundation and the work we care so deeply about,” she said.
“Thank you for all the love, for all the years, and for making this celebration one I will never forget. My heart is so full,” she concluded.
Weeks earlier, Seymour enjoyed a family trip to Hawaii.
The British actress took to Instagram to share a series of snapshots from her vacation in Hawaii, where she spent time with her daughter and grandchildren.
Seymour shared the photos alongside thoughtful captions centered on family, gratitude and slowing down.
In a recent post, Seymour walked along the shoreline in a bold red one-piece swimsuit with a front cutout.
She accessorized with a wide-brimmed sun hat and oversized black sunglasses, lifting both arms in the air as she smiled toward the camera.
She captioned the post, “Somewhere between the ocean and the mountains, it feels easier to remember what really matters. Carrying a bit of that calm into the week ahead. What helps you stay grounded during busy days? 🧘♀️”

How Meghan Markle’s new candle line gives sweet nod to kids Prince Achie and Princess Lilibet

Meghan Markle’s new collection for her As Ever lifestyle brand includes candles inspired by her and Prince Harry’s children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.
The Mother’s Day collection, set to launch Wednesday, features two $64 signature candles named after the birthdays of her and the Duke of Sussex’s little ones.
The Signature Candle No. 506 is listed as “Prince Archie of Sussex’s Birthdate,” which falls on May 6, per a press release obtained by People.
The scent is described as “a warm, comforting scent inspired by Prince Archie of Sussex’s birthdate, bringing a soft, familiar ease into the room,” with notes of ginger, neroli and cashmere — a subtle nod to the youngling’s red hair. “This candle is inspired by Meghan’s son, Prince Archie,” the release explained.
A second scent, Signature Candle No. 604, is inspired by Lilibet’s June 4 birthday.
It’s described as “a light, floral scent inspired by Princess Lilibet of Sussex’s birthdate, adding a sense of brightness and openness to the home,” with notes of amber, santal and water lily — a nod to her name.
Her kids’ birthdays also inspire different bundle sets in the upcoming Mother’s Day drop.
This marks the brand’s first major launch since Netflix cut ties with As Ever last month.
“Her show did not go on so it did not make sense to continue the partnership,” an industry source exclusively told Page Six, referring to Markle’s series, “With Love, Meghan,” which was axed after two seasons.
A Netflix spokesperson told Page Six in a statement, “Meghan’s passion for elevating everyday moments in beautiful yet simple ways inspired the creation of the As Ever brand, and we are glad to have played a role in bringing that vision to life.
A source close to the matter told us it was always the plan to get As Ever running on its “own two feet” and said Netflix and Markle will continue their mutually supportive relationship.
“We can expect to see seasonal specials of ‘With Love, Meghan,’” the insider added.
In a telling move, the Duchess of Sussex filed an As Ever trademark in Australia — just weeks before she and Harry were set to visit.
Notably, a spokesperson for As Ever had previously denied rumors that Markle, 44, would be expanding into other countries.
Earlier this month, an expert exclusively told Page Six that the “deliberate” business move could indicate that the brand is not “delivering the level of success” in America that Markle and Harry, 41, initially expected.
“In that context, branching out into a new market starts to feel less like a choice and more like a necessity to avoid the brand stagnating,” the celebrity PR specialist added.
Markle’s company has been plagued by setbacks since she launched the endeavor in 2024 under the name American Riviera Orchard.
A year later, she was forced to rebrand to As Ever after facing a slew of trademark issues.
“I appreciate everyone who gave me the grace to make mistakes and figure it out and also to be forgiving with myself through that,” Markle told People in March 2025, referring to the many roadblocks. “It’s a learning curve.”
