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.

Jon Stewart surprises Stephen Colbert with a surprise serenade from Andra Day

“The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart was one of Stephen Colbert’s final guests as “The Late Show” continues its final week, and he had quite the going-away present for his old friend.
Stewart, 63, and Colbert, 62, reminded fans that they go back decades to the late 1990s, when they both worked together on “The Daily Show” during Stewart’s first hosting stint.
“One of us has not aged as well as the other,” Stewart says of himself, joking, “One of these people is getting age-defying peptides, and the other is getting a placebo.”
The interview ended with Stewart presenting a gift for Colbert, a new recliner, but he had a surprise up his sleeve, bringing out one of Colbert’s favorite singers, Andra Day, which clearly stunned Colbert.
She came out and blew Colbert a few kisses before breaking into her 2015 breakthrough hit “Rise Up” for the comedy titans.
Stewart is no stranger to Colbert’s position, reminiscing on when he was fired from “The Jon Stewart Show,” which was syndicated through Paramount Domestic Television from 1993 to 1995.
“The term back then was ‘s–t-canned.’ I don’t know what they call it now. We had two more weeks to go, and they put security guards at all the exits … We didn’t have anything of value,” Stewart joked.
Stewart added that his show, ““spiraled so out of control” in those final weeks, “because I was not a mature grown-up like you are.”
Stewart’s final guest for that show was David Letterman, adding, “He said to me something very profound. He said, ‘Don’t confuse cancelation with failure.’ … But then he said, ‘But in this case it is also a failure.’”
Stewart also praised “The Late Show” staff, adding they were always, “So game” for whatever he had pitched to them, including a sketch involving alpacas.
“I am not a particularly good long term planner and I would challenge them. I talked to them and I said wouldn’t it be funny if it showed where I would be living at the time. Wouldn’t it be funny if I had a James Bond bookcase where I opened the bookcase and it revealed more of my lair. Wouldn’t it be funny if when it opened, it was revealed that I was raising alpacas? I was coming on the next day and he says to me, ‘They’ll build the room but the alpacas can’t be here till 1,’” Stewart said.
Colbert also welcomed director Steven Spielberg, who was promoting his new film “Disclosure Day,” which hits theaters June 12.

Meryl Streep and Martin Short prove romance is still going strong with London dinner date

It’s [not] complicated.
Meryl Streep and Martin Short’s romance was proven to be still going strong after they were photographed together on a dinner date in London.
A fan took to X over the weekend to share that she had been seated near the actors in a restaurant.
“Spending a few days in London, picking a restaurant at random, and ending up eating just a few meters away from Meryl Streep and her husband ❤️,” the fan tweeted alongside a photo of the “Devil Wears Prada” actress and Short leaning in close to one another. (Streep and Short are not married.)
In the snap, the “Only Murders in the Building” actor and Streep were seated on the same side of their dining table and appeared to be looking at the actress’ cell phone.
When the fan was asked if she attempted to get a selfie with the actors, she replied, “No. They were having a great time. Full of laughs and tender gestures.
“No desire to impose myself in the middle of that,” the netizen claimed.
Streep and Short, both 76, first sparked dating rumors in October 2024 when they were spotted looking cozy while sitting together at the 2024 Golden Globes.
However, a rep for the “Father of the Bride” actor denied the gossip, telling People that they were “just very good friends, nothing more.”
In January 2024, Short doubled down on his claims that he and Streep were platonic during an appearance on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast.
“We’re not a couple. We are just very close friends,” he claimed at the time.
However, the following month, the “It’s Complicated” actress and Short were spotted catching dinner together at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California.
That August, they held hands on the red carpet at the Season 4 premiere of “Only Murders in the Building.”
A source exclusively told Page Six that the actors “seemed together” during the premiere.
In October 2023, we revealed that Streep secretly split from her husband, Don Gummer, six years prior. They were married for 40 years and welcomed son Henry, 46, and daughters Mamie, 42, Grace, 40, and Louisa, 34.
Short was previously married to Nancy Dolman for three decades until she died in 2010. They welcomed three children via adoption: sons Oliver, 40, Henry, 36, and daughter Katherine, who sadly died in February by an apparent suicide. She was 42.

John Travolta reacts to attention his viral Cannes beret looks have gotten

John Travolta explained his bold looks at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, particularly, his choice to rock different colored berets.
The actor, 72, first caused a stir with his choice of headgear Friday, when he sported a slouchy white beret and spectacles at the premiere of his directorial debut, “Propeller One-Way Night Coach.”
He followed it up the next day with with a black beret paired with black wire-rimmed glasses at the film’s photocall Saturday.
Travolta explained that he came up with the much-talked-about outfits because he wanted to present himself as a director and not an actor.
“I said, ‘I’m a director this time. You’re an actor, play the part of a director, look like an old-school director,’” he explained to CNN.
“So I looked up pictures from the ’20, ’30s, ’40s, ’50, ’60s, and the old-school directors wore berets, and the glasses, and I thought, ‘That’s what I’m doing. I’m doing an homage to being a director, so I’m going to play the part of being a director.’”
The A-lister said he wanted to be able to look back at his outfits and remember the moment.
“I’ll know — ‘Oh, that was ‘Propeller One-Way Night Coach,’ that was Cannes, that’s when I won the Palme d’Or,’ and I’ll have a vividness of it,” he shared with a smile.
Travolta was presented with an honorary Cannes Palme d’Or — the equivalent of a lifetime achievement award — at this year’s annual festival.
“I’ve never been more proud to win an award!” he posted on Instagram Friday of the achievement. “To me the Cannes Palme d’Or award has always represented art at its finest. It is beyond a humbling experience.”
His 26-year-old daughter, Ella — who stars in “Propeller One-Way Night Coach” alongside her father — commented, “I’m so proud of you❤️.”
“Propeller One-Way Night Coach” follows a young airplane enthusiast named Jeff and his mother, who go on a one-way, cross-country journey to Hollywood.
It’s based on his own 1997 children’s novel of the same name.
Ella, who’s been by her dad’s side promoting the film at Cannnes, plays a flight attendant in the film.
