Welcome to GLW Insiders! We put Bur Bur’s Growing Season – Burdock Hair and Repair Oil to the test with our GLW Insiders, and their honest feedback did not disappoint! Over the course of 90 days, we asked them to document their experience using the hair oil alongside the Bur Bur Derma Roller, sharing their progress and results along the way.
Based of the reviews from our Insiders, the feedback was positive, with several themes coming up consistently:
- Visible hair growth: Multiple reviewers reported seeing baby hairs, new growth, fuller-looking areas and improved growth around the hairline/temples by the end of the 90 days. One reviewer said her postpartum areas had “almost completely filled in,” while another described her hair transformation as a “complete 180.”
- Softer, shinier hair: This was probably the most consistent result across every review. Reviewers noticed their hair becoming softer, smoother, shinier and more nourished—often before they noticed actual growth.
- Healthier, fuller-looking hair: Beyond length or new growth, reviewers felt their hair looked and felt healthier, stronger and fuller overall.
- Less breakage and shedding: Several reviewers specifically mentioned reduced hair fall and breakage. One participant who previously experienced significant shedding while washing said she was eventually seeing only a few hairs fall out.
- Postpartum hair loss improvements: Postpartum thinning was a major concern for multiple participants. Reviewers reported seeing new growth in previously sparse postpartum areas, particularly around the temples and hairline.
- Improved scalp health: Participants frequently described their scalps as feeling more hydrated, nourished and healthier after incorporating the oil into their routines.
- Easy to incorporate into a routine: Reviewers generally found the oil simple and convenient to use, most commonly applying it once or twice per week before wash day. Several specifically mentioned that it didn’t feel like an inconvenient extra step.
- Positive experience with the Derma Roller: The Derma Roller was generally well received. Reviewers enjoyed the scalp ritual and felt it complemented the oil. A couple noted a learning curve around pressure, including some initial scalp soreness.
- A little goes a long way: Because the oil is concentrated, reviewers found that less product was often better, particularly when applying it to the ends of the hair.
- Easy to wash out: One reviewer was particularly impressed that despite being an oil, it washed out easily without leaving lingering residue.
- Consistency was considered key: A recurring takeaway was that hair results take time and consistent use matters. Most reviewers used the product regularly for the full 90-day period and recommended giving it several months.
- High likelihood of continued use: The reviewers overwhelmingly said they planned to continue using the oil, with some specifically saying they would repurchase it or make it a permanent part of their hair-care routine.
- Strong recommendation: Overall, participants said they would recommend the product, particularly for people concerned with hair growth, thinning, postpartum hair loss, breakage or simply improving overall hair health.
Here is what the Insiders had to say…
AZIIN
Getting Started
1. What were your first impressions of the product (packaging, instructions, ease of use)?
My first impression was very positive. I loved the packaging, and the product felt very easy to use and add to my normal hair routine.
2. What motivated you to try this product?
Hair loss and thinning have been a big concern for me, so I was really interested in trying something that could support my scalp and hair while I was working on improving my overall hair health.
3. Do you have any specific goals or concerns you hope this product will address?
My biggest goals were reducing the appearance of thinning, supporting healthier hair growth, and improving the overall condition and texture of my hair.
Early Use
1. How easy has it been to incorporate the product into your routine?
Very easy. I was able to incorporate it into my routine without it feeling like an extra complicated step.
2. Have you noticed any immediate changes or effects since starting?
In the beginning, I didn’t notice a major difference in hair growth, which I honestly wasn’t expecting that quickly. What I did notice was how my hair felt. The oil made it feel smoother, softer and more nourished, and I liked the way my hair felt after using it.
3. What has been your favorite part about using the product so far?
Probably how nourishing it feels on my hair and how easy it is to use consistently. My hair tends to be dry and frizzy, so I really liked the smoother feeling and texture.
4. Have you experienced any challenges or side effects?
I haven’t experienced any major side effects from the product.
Midpoint Check-In
1. Are you beginning to see or feel any results? Please describe.
By the second month, my hair continued to feel healthier and more nourished. I was also starting to feel more positive about my hair overall, but I want to be transparent that I was doing other things for my hair at the same time, including vitamins and other hair-loss treatments. Because of that, it’s difficult for me to say that any growth I noticed was from one product alone.
2. How consistent have you been in using the product?
I’ve been pretty consistent with it and made it part of my hair routine.
3. Have you noticed any changes in hair that surprised you?
The biggest thing that surprised me was how much I enjoyed the conditioning nourishing effect. Even before being able to judge growth, I could feel a difference in the way my hair looked and felt.
4. Would you recommend the product to a friend at this point? Why or why not?
Yes, especially to someone looking for an oil to support their overall hair and scalp routine. I would just be realistic that hair growth takes time and there can be many different factors involved.
Final Check-In – 90 Days
1. What results have you noticed after using the product for 90 days?
Now that I’m at the 90-day point, I can see quite a few baby hairs and shorter new hairs, which I’m very happy about. My hair also feels more nourished and smoother than when I started.
I do want to be completely transparent, though. During these months I have also been taking hair-related vitamins and using other treatments, including prescription treatments and scalp hair-filler injections. Because I started this as part of a bigger hair care plan, I can’t say with 100% certainty which individual treatment is responsible for the new growth. I feel that everything I’ve been doing has worked together to support my hair.
2. Did the product meet your expectations? Why or why not?
Yes, especially in terms of how nourished and healthy my hair feels. With growth, I never expected an oil alone to completely change my hair in 90 days, so I tried to keep my expectations realistic.
3. What surprised you most about your experience?
Seeing the little baby hairs has definitely been the most exciting part. Even though I can’t attribute them to one thing alone, seeing those changes after struggling with my hair has been really encouraging.
4. Do you plan to continue using the product after this month?
Yes. I like having it as part of my routine, especially because of how it makes my hair feel.
5. What advice would you give someone thinking of trying this product?
I would say be consistent and give it time. Hair changes don’t happen overnight. I also think it’s important to look at hair health as a whole rather than expecting one product to do everything.
6. Has documenting your journey helped you notice things you otherwise might not have?
Definitely. When you look at your hair every day, it’s hard to notice small changes. Looking back at pictures and comparing different points in the experience made it much easier to notice changes in my hair and the new shorter hairs coming in.
ELENA
I’ve been using it consistently for about six weeks now, twice a week before washing my hair.
While I can’t honestly comment on hair growth yet because I had my regular haircut during this period, I can confidently say I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the overall health of my hair.
I’ve been massaging the oil into my scalp, using the derma roller as directed, and then working the remaining oil through my lengths and ends. I also started applying the oil to my ends before swimming, and it’s been fantastic for protecting them while adding a beautiful shine.
One of the biggest differences I noticed was after my recent color appointment. Normally, my hair feels dry and experiences some breakage after coloring, but this time it stayed incredibly soft, shiny, and healthy. Even my hairstylist commented on how strong and healthy my hair looked, which was really encouraging.
Overall, my hair feels thicker, stronger, smoother, and much more nourished. Although I can’t give an honest assessment of growth just yet, I genuinely believe the combination of the oil and derma rolling has had a very positive impact on my hair’s overall condition.
I also have to mention how beautiful the products are. The packaging is so aesthetically pleasing, the ingredients are wonderful, and the whole routine feels like a little self-care ritual that I genuinely look forward to.
GABRIELLE
Getting Started
My first impression of the product was very positive. The packaging feels clean and elevated. The oil itself has a lightweight texture and scent that grows on you, which made it really approachable to start using right away.
I was motivated to try this product because I’ve been wanting to improve my hair growth and overall hair health, especially after noticing some thinning and slower growth.
My main goal was to support stronger, longer hair and improve thickness over time. I was also hoping it would help with scalp health and reduce breakage.
Early Use
It was very easy to incorporate into my routine. I’ve been applying it consistently with microneedling roller and it fits naturally into my hair care (2x a week) without adding extra effort.
Early on, I noticed my hair felt softer and more nourished. My scalp also felt healthier and more hydrated. I didn’t experience any negative side effects except dropping the dropper by accident and it shattered into pieces.
The only small challenge was remembering to stay consistent at first, but once I built the habit, it became effortless.
Midpoint Check-in (30 days)
At this point, I’ve definitely started to see results. My hair feels stronger and I’ve noticed visible growth, especially around my hairline and overall length.
I’ve been very consistent with using the product, which I think has made a big difference in the results I’m seeing.
One thing that surprised me is how much healthier my hair looks overall—not just longer, but fuller.
I would recommend this product to a friend at this stage because I’m already seeing noticeable improvements and it’s easy to use.
Final Check-in (90 days)
After 90 days, I’ve seen a clear difference in my hair growth. My hair looks longer, fuller, and healthier overall.
The product definitely met my expectations. I was hoping for better growth, and I genuinely feel like I achieved that. I will definitely keep on using it and purchasing another bottle once done!!!
What surprised me most was how consistent results came with regular use—it really shows that sticking to a routine pays off; especially in this case.
My advice to someone considering this product would be to stay consistent and be patient—the results are delivered and SO worth it.
Documenting the journey really helped me notice the changes over time. Seeing the before-and-after made the progress much more clear.

Shiny and softer hair after a few uses!

Ease of use and quick to see results like shinier and softer hair.

Definitely increased shine and softness to the hair. Feels healthier overall. Not sure about much growth yet but I know that takes time.

Final Check In
1. What results have you noticed after using the product for 90 days?
100% softer and shinier hair, I feel the areas around my temple where I experienced the most postpartum hair loss have never truly filled in, but I do feel it’s starting to come in a little more with this oil (I really concentrated in that area as well when applying). Of course it’s only been three months but I’m hopeful it’ll fill in even more with time and regular use.
2. Did the product meet your expectations? Why or why not?
Definitely! Very impressed with the results.
3. What surprised you most about your experience?
I wouldn’t say anything surprised me but rather it met my expectations and did exactly what I thought it would
4. Do you plan to continue using the product after this month?
Absolutely. I’m really trying to prioritize my hair health after three kids and lots of postpartum hair loss so this will be a part of my routine moving forward
5. What advice would you give someone thinking of trying this product?
Go for it! At worst, you’ll experience softer and shinier hair, and at best, all that + added hair growth. It’s a win-win.
6. Has documenting your journey helped you notice things you otherwise might not have?
I don’t think so. I feel this product did exactly what I thought it would and was expecting!
MARIANGELA
Getting Started
The packaging was elegant and simple and the instructions on the label were very clear and direct.
I have been wanting to try a hair growth serum for a while since I had my first child and this one has clean ingredients compared to many on the market.
I hope the product can help the areas where I experienced postpartum hair loss.
*images will be shares, as well as a video using the product.
Early Use
The product was quite easy to incorporate in my routine especially on hair wash days, I add the serum a few hours before washing my hair.
I initially first noticed a lot less hair fall when washing and brushing my hair.
I really enjoyed using the Derma Roller, I really felt like it it helped my scalp absorb the product. It was my first time using a device for this type of use. I had always in the past just massaged the scalp before adding any hair oil.
The first time I used it I went a little crazy and added so much product. It is really thick and concentrated so I learned early on that less is more!
Mid-point Check-In
I noticed results within the first month; less hair fallout and baby hairs were beginning to come into my postpartum areas that were less dense.
I use the product twice a week, to reflect my hair wash days.
The new hair growth is really what surprised me, I sometimes have to tame them because they look a little crazy, but so happy it is growing in.
I would definitely recommend this product. I used to wash my hair and have big clumps of hair fallout and now I barely have a few. I also noticed when I use the product and wash it out the ends of my hair appear more healthy.
Final Check-In
My postpartum spots have almost completely filled in!!!
It really did. It was on my list of must try’s and was so excited for the experience to review it!
The derma roller really made me feel as though it made a huge impact on the absorption of the product.
I plan on using this product the next time I am postpartum, it will instantly become part of my routine!
TRY THIS PRODUCT, YOU WILL NOT REGET IT!!!!
I noticed the areas that needed help but once I put the before and after pictures side by side I also noticed how much more full my hair looks now.
SIERRA
Getting Started
What were your first impressions of the product (packaging, instructions, ease of use)?
The packaging is very cute and high quality!
What motivated you to try this product?
I was in desperate need of a non-toxic hair growth oil, I had heard multiple reviews for this oil stating that it was amazing!
Do you have any specific goals or concerns you hope this product will address?
HAIR GROWTH
Early Use
How easy has it been to incorporate the product into your routine?
Extremely easy, simply apply it the morning of hair wash day and wash it out once I get home from work. The oil also works great for a slick back.
Have you noticed any immediate changes or effects since starting?
My hair is absolutely smoother, especially when I apply it to my ends pre blow dry.
What has been your favorite part about using the product so far?
The roller when I’m applying the oil, feels amazing on the scalp pre hair wash day hahaha
Have you experienced any challenges or side effects?
None so far!
Midpoint Check-In
Are you beginning to see or feel any results? Please describe.
I’m seeing growth! My hair is also shinier and smoother as mentioned before!
How consistent have you been in using the product?
1-2 a week.
Have you noticed any changes in hair that surprised you?
Surprised, no not really. I had heard great results from others so that’s what I was expecting!
Would you recommend the product to a friend at this point? Why or why not?
Absolutely! Especially if they are looking for hair growth. This is the only hair oil that has worked for me so far.
Final Check-In
What results have you noticed after using the product for 90 days?
HAIR GROWTH. I am so pleased. I had started using this product right after I had bleached my hair. I didn’t expect the results to be this good!
Did the product meet your expectations? Why or why not?
Most definitely, above and beyond. My hair is a complete 180*
What surprised you most about your experience?
The product was very easy to was out in the shower. I find that most oils linger in the hair when it’s been left in all day. This one didn’t leave a residue at all.
Do you plan to continue using the product after this month?
Most definitely
What advice would you give someone thinking of trying this product?
A little goes a long way, the product is great all over however if you are putting it on your ends use it sparingly.
Has documenting your journey helped you notice things you otherwise might not have?
Yes, absolutely! Documenting my journey has helped me notice changes I probably wouldn’t have otherwise. I don’t think I would have realized just how much hair can grow in a month if I hadn’t been paying such close attention. Plus, documenting everything has made the process more fun!
