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.

Savannah Guthrie flees NYC after ‘Today’ show intruder incident

Savannah Guthrie is skipping town just one day after an intruder lunged at co-anchor Craig Melvin at the “Today” show offices earlier this week.
Guthrie and her husband, Michael Feldman, were photographed Friday preparing to leave the Big Apple at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport.
The anchor, 54, kept a low profile in a beige Celine bucket hat, jeans, sneakers and a black sweater for the outing. At one point, she was seen checking her phone, and in another snapshot, she took a sip from a water bottle.
Guthrie, whose elderly mother Nancy went missing in February, found the security breach the day prior “incredibly triggering,” the Daily Mail reports, despite the fact that it took place shortly after she left the building Thursday morning.
“The timing couldn’t have been more heartbreaking,” a source told the outlet Friday. “How much more can one person take?”
“After everything Savannah has endured with her family, this happened just moments after she walked off the set. It hit everyone hard, but it hit differently for her,” they added.
During the incident, the intruder — later identified as Andrew Truelove — stormed the building looking for Al Roker and instead found Melvin. He allegedly hurled a racial slur during the encounter, calling Melvin the N-word, and is now facing a slew of hate crime charges.
“This couldn’t have come at a worse time for her emotionally after everything she’s been through this year,” a second source told the Daily Mail of Guthrie. “Even though she had just left, just knowing it happened at her workplace is enough to shake anyone.”
Guthrie was preparing to step away for “a few weeks” to film the network’s upcoming Wordle game show, prior to the incident and announced her upcoming hiatus the same morning the intruder sent shockwaves through the “Today” studio.
“Everyone is relieved she’s taking the next few weeks off to film another project,” the source claimed to the outlet. “She’ll get some distance from all of this while everyone back here catches their breath.”
The insider added that “nobody would blame Savannah if she decided she needed more time.”
“She’s been carrying an enormous emotional burden, and this was another shock,” they continued. “The feeling inside the show is that everyone wants her to put herself first.”
Though the outlet reported security at the “Today” show had been “beefed up,” and the building was “tightening every loophole,” sources also told the Daily Mail that “Savannah’s personal protection has also been increased.”
One source told the outlet that, “The whole newsroom is protective of Savannah right now. People are worried less about the show and more about her. They just want her to be okay.”
Page Six exclusively reported Thursday that NBC News fired one of the security guards who allegedly allowed the crazed intruder to get into the “Today” show studios.
Melvin and Roker have also since been granted protective orders against Truelove.
A rep for Guthrie did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment on Friday evening.
The security incident came as the journalist has continued to navigate the disappearance of her 84-year-old mother, Nancy, who disappeared from her Arizona home following a family outing and was reported missing on Feb. 1.
Guthrie has made multiple social media pleas alongside her siblings, Camron and Annie, for information about the case — even offering a $1 million reward.
Though surveillance images from a camera at Nancy’s front door revealed terrifying images of a masked intruder, the case remains unsolved.
Guthrie returned to the “Today” show on April 6 after a hiatus.
“It is good to be home,” she told viewers at the time in her first episode back since her mother’s disappearance. “Ready or not, let’s do the news.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding guests reveal new details on ‘legendary’ night

Kyle and Kristin Juszczyk both summed up Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s recent nuptials with one word: “Legendary.”
“It was just the best night ever,” Kristin told Page Six at the Time100 Sports Gala 2026 in New York City Thursday night. “It was legendary. There’s no other way to describe it.”
The 35-year-old San Francisco 49ers player added, “Yeah, truly, truly legendary.
The couple agreed that it was “wild” to be on the dance floor, rubbing shoulders with a slew of famous guests, including Lena Dunham, Mariska Hargitay, Hugh Grant, Selena Gomez, Bradley Cooper, Sabrina Carpenter, Adam Sandler, Emma Stone, and Tom Brady, with Kristin noting that she needs “to journal” about the night so she doesn’t forget any details.
They also both got teary during the ceremony, which saw Swift, 36, and Kelce exchange vows that ran “about 20 minutes each.”
“I definitely teared up,” Kyle revealed. “Their vows were so good, and it was hard not to,” while Kristin’s tears didn’t really count.
“I cry at every single wedding,” she explained. “Like, I don’t think there’s ever been a wedding that I haven’t cried at.”
Kyle is a longtime pal of Kelce, and Kristin became an overnight sartorial sensation in January 2024, when she whipped up custom Kansas City Chiefs-themed puffer coats for Swift and pal Brittany Mahomes to wear while cheering on their respective partners, Kelce and Patrick Mahomes.
After her work went viral, she signed her own deal with the NFL, allowing her to license team logos on her clothing and sell her designs to the public.
The duo was not the only celeb couple at the gala. Jalen Brunson and his wife, Aly, were in attendance, along with Ciara and Russell Wilson, and LeBron James and Savannah James.
Flying solo was special guest Prince Harry, who attended without his wife, Meghan Markle.
Page Six exclusively reported that the royal was overheard telling guests that Markle and their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, are “happy” to be home in California after their brief visit to the UK.

Seth Rogen kept thanking Penélope Cruz while filming ‘The Invite’ sex scene

Seth Rogen admitted he couldn’t stop thanking and apologizing to Penélope Cruz while filming a sex scene for their new movie “The Invite.”
The “Superbad” and “Pineapple Express” star, 44, shared the behind-the-scenes story during Tuesday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” revealing that he instinctively kept saying, “Thank you,” while improvising the intimate scene with the Oscar-winning actress, 52.
“What’s actually funny in the scene is we were encouraged to improvise,” Rogen told guest host Ike Barinholtz.
“There’s a scene where me and her are having a romantically charged moment, and it seems like we might hook up with one another, and I just kept saying, ‘Thank you.’”
“And Olivia Wilde, the director, was just like, ‘Why? What are you doing? Why do you keep saying ‘Thank you’?” he continued.
“And I was like, ‘I don’t know. It’s just what’s coming out of my mouth.’”
Rogen said the reaction reflected how he would feel in real life.
“All I have is gratitude,” he said. “I would be apologetic and thankful. I’m sorry.”
The actor, who has been married to Lauren Miller since 2011, joked that he was nervous about filming the scene because Cruz is married to fellow Oscar-winner Javier Bardem.
“So, you’re very worried about that,” Rogen said, before adding with a laugh, “I don’t think he views me as a legitimate threat in any way, shape or form.”
Rogen also revealed that several moments in the film were improvised. He said Cruz suggested singing Sade during one romantic scene.
“It was Penélope Cruz’s idea,” he said. “There’s a scene where we’re being romantic, and she was like, ‘What if I start singing Sade to you?’ which is sort of sexy, but also kind of hilarious at the same time.”
Rogen also came up with an idea of his own for the scene, though it didn’t end well for him.
“It’s funny if I’m trying to get my pants off and maybe I struggle, and I fall down in the scene,” he said. “And I did it. Everyone’s like, ‘That was great.’”
“And then I hurt my shoulder for seven months,” he joked.
“The Invite” stars Wilde as Angela and Rogen as her husband Joe, whose marriage is shaken when they’re propositioned by wealthy couple Pína, played by Cruz, and Hawk, played by Edward Norton.
Wilde recently shared another improvised moment from filming “The Invite,” telling the “Table Manners” podcast that Cruz unexpectedly kissed her during a scene.
“I was so shocked,” Wilde said. “I turned my head and looked directly into the lens.”
Wilde recalled a camera operator saying her name, prompting her to blurt out, “Cut. Namaste!”
“That’s the only thing that came to my mind. ‘Namaste,’” she said. “And everyone was like, ‘What?’ And I was like, ‘I don’t know.’”
“My mind went blank because I was so struck by this moment,” Wilde added. “I lost control. I was so madly in love with her.”
