How to use biotin & collagen shampoo for best results

By the LoverHair Team First One Australia Updated June 2026

The short answer

To use biotin & collagen shampoo, massage a small amount into wet hair and scalp, leave it for 2–3 minutes so the actives absorb, then rinse and follow with the matching conditioner. Use it 2–3 times a week for best results. With consistent use, most people notice improved strength, shine and less breakage within a few weeks.

What does biotin & collagen shampoo do?

Biotin and collagen shampoo is a strengthening shampoo designed to support fuller, healthier-looking hair. Biotin (vitamin B7) is associated with stronger hair and helping reduce breakage, while collagen helps smooth the cuticle and supports softness and shine. Together they cleanse the hair and scalp while nourishing the strands, which is why this type of shampoo is popular for fine, weak or colour-treated hair. It won’t change how fast your hair grows, but by strengthening the hair shaft and reducing breakage it helps hair look thicker, healthier and more resilient over time — especially when paired with the matching conditioner and used consistently.

How do you use biotin & collagen shampoo?

Using it correctly makes a real difference to the results. Follow these steps:

  1. Wet your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water — hot water can dry the scalp.
  2. Apply a small amount and massage into the scalp and roots with your fingertips (not nails).
  3. Leave it for 2–3 minutes so the biotin and collagen can absorb.
  4. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear.
  5. Repeat if needed when hair is very dirty or greasy, then rinse again.
  6. Follow with conditioner — apply the matching biotin & collagen conditioner to mid-lengths and ends.

How often should you use it?

Use biotin & collagen shampoo 2–3 times a week for the best results — there’s no need to use it every day. On non-wash days, you can rinse or use a gentle everyday shampoo. Consistency over a few weeks matters more than frequency: hair care works gradually, and most people notice improved texture, shine and reduced breakage within a few weeks of regular use. Pair the shampoo with the matching conditioner and limit harsh heat styling to get the most benefit. To protect your hair further, eat a balanced diet and shield it from strong sun, wind and pollution where you can.

2–3 times a week is ideal — there’s no need to use it daily. Consistency over a few weeks matters most, and you can use a gentle everyday shampoo in between.

    Help…I am 77 years old. My hair is coming out a lot every time I brush my hair, never had this problem. I have been stressed out (lost my husband 2 years ago), & changed shampoos do to finances. I do color my hair with Clairol Nice & Easy (have used this for 9/10years)
