Zenagen vs Vegamour

If your hair feels thinner, drier, or just off, you’re not alone, and the right science-backed products can make a big difference. Two of the biggest names leading the charge in the plant-based space are Zenagen and Vegamour, both promising thicker, healthier hair without the harsh chemicals or prescription treatments. But while they share a few similarities, their approaches (and price tags) are pretty different.

Here’s how they stack up.

The Short Answer

Based on their product lines, the health concerns they tackle, the available products, and their clinical results, I think Vegamour is better suited to those with medical-grade hair health issues who want a robust system involving gummies, serums, and shampoo/conditioner. Zenagen is a boosted alternative to traditional concern-targeted shampoo and conditioner, without prescriptions but with high quality, natural extracts. It’s also the more affordable option of the two. 

Brand Overviews

Zenagen

Zenagen is a professional hair care brand with products designed to combat hair loss and help you with better hair health. They use plant-based ingredients partnered with “salon grade chemistry” to repair existing damage and reduce hair loss. They have three key product lines, all of which use plant-based and nutraceutical ingredients. 

Vegamour

Vegamour is a hair wellness brand. This company offers premium, vegan hair products to help with hair wellness, brows, and lashes with a range of products to address different concerns like shedding or hair loss. They provide supplements, serums, shampoos, and conditioners, all of which are clinically backed and rely on natural ingredients.

Zenagen vs. Vegamour: Similarities

Both Zenagen and Vegamour share some things in common. 

Shop by Health Concern

The biggest similarity is that you can choose to shop based on your health concerns. With Vegamour, the website is actually conducive to this with a drop-down menu on the homepage to select the type of hair concern you want to target, such as thinning, volume, dryness, or graying.

Zenagen has three different product lines which target three different hair health concerns, fine/thinning hair, damage, and color preservation. You can choose the product line that helps you with the health concern most important to you.

Focus

Both companies have a particular focus on hair thinning and treating your scalp health. They both recognize that having a healthy scalp can go a long way toward improving the overall health of your hair, which is why their ingredients help nourish the scalp and why they offer products to help tangential health concerns like shedding and hair thinning.

Convenience

You will find a similar level of convenience with either option. Both companies offer subscription services. You can save on your hair care costs by signing up for monthly subscriptions that are delivered directly to your home.

Both companies also offer products that can be easily incorporated into your existing hair care routine. They offer targeted shampoo and conditioner treatments that you would use in lieu of your normal hairwash products, daily serums that are easy to incorporate into your routine, and supplemental products like leave-in conditioners, dry shampoos, and volumizing foam (Zenagen) or gummies (Vegamour). 

No Harsh Additives

Both companies go out of their way to avoid potentially irritating ingredients often found in competing products. Vegamour, for example, avoids things like keratin, and Zenagen avoids minoxidil. This means that Zenagen is particularly well suited to people who don’t want prescription hair care products that cause irritation but still want something that improves their hair health. 

Cruelty-Free

They both use cruelty free, plant-based, natural ingredients which is a great starting point. But that brings me to their key differences. 

Zenagen vs. Vegamour: Key Differences 

There are very important key differences between these two. 

Zenagen uses a lot of put-it-in-wash-it-out products. The product offerings they prioritize like the shampoo and conditioner are things that you might leave on your head for a few minutes while you’re in the shower (they actually sell a shower timer) but eventually you rinse out and then you go about your day. The benefits derived from those ingredients come from whatever was absorbed during those few minutes or left on your scalp. This also makes it easy to incorporate this system into your daily routine, substituting the Zenagen shampoo for whatever you might have been using previously without having to add extra steps to your hair care routine. They do have several leave-in products, like a hair density serum and and volumizing foam, but those all complement and supplement their main shampoo and conditioner lines. 

Vegamour focuses more on a leave-in system. They do still sell shampoos and conditioners, but their product line is more focused on serums, oils, and daily supplements and gummies. While I like how extensive their product line is, you have to do a lot more to manage your hair health, especially if you opt for the lash and eyebrow serums. 

Ingredients and Science

Zenagen

Zenagen’s ingredient list is mostly built on plant extractions like ginger, red clover, and other scientifically backed but natural ingredients that help your hair health. This help primarily comes in the form of improvements to your scalp. For a lot of people, scalp health is a big reason why hair follicles aren’t growing properly, so improving what is known as the “scalp environment” is a key part in managing overall hair health and wellness. Zenagen does just that with key ingredients like aloe vera juice and red clover, both of which help to stimulate blood flow and deliver essential vitamins like vitamin A and vitamin C directly to the scalp. 

The proprietary extraction method that Zenagen uses means you get a higher grade extract. More of the important components in those natural plant ingredients get extracted and infused in your shampoo and conditioner. This is certainly a step above many infused shampoo and conditioner products that claim to include plant extracts but don’t necessarily explain how they derive those extracts. Zenagen’s method ensures that you’re actually getting the benefits of these plant-powered ingredients. 

Products

Zenagen has three product lines (some with unisex options, others with mens or womens options):

1. Revolve
2. Evolve
3. Eclipse

The first, Revolve, is a plant-based system for fine and visibly thinning hair. There’s a shampoo and conditioner as well as travel size options. 

The second, Evolve, is made for length and strength. The formula is based on similar plant-based ingredients and includes amino acids and hydrolyzed proteins. Same set up as Revolve with shampoo, conditioner, and travel sizes.

The third, Eclipse, is a color preservation system meant to combat pigment loss through antioxidants. Like the other lines, there’s a shampoo, conditioner, and travel size options. 

In addition to the three main product lines, Zenagen sells:

• Densifying hair serum
• Densifying beard oil
• Densifying leave-in cream
• Thickening volume foam
• Repairing/strengthening leave-in conditioner
• Dry shampoo
• Hydrating cream
• Styling paste
• Texturizing powder
• Derma stamp
• Scalp massager
• Brush
• Shower timer

All three product lines list their ingredients on individual product pages. One of the things I like about the website is that you can find articles under an entire subsection called “Learn,” which explain why certain ingredients might be useful in tackling the hair health concern you have. Not many companies will provide this kind of in-depth information. I much prefer it to a company that leaves you to read a quick product description and then research things yourself.

Vegamour

Vegamour, by comparison, uses ingredients like a “Karmatin peptide delivery system” (a vegan protein that mimics keratin’s structure) and plant-derived stem cells to boost cellular communication for your scalp and hair follicles without using hormones and chemicals. Their products also contain plant extracts that help with things like blood flow and nutrient delivery, but while Zenagen focuses on nourishing the scalp to create the ideal environment for growth, Vegamour takes a more high-tech approach, using bioactive peptides and plant stem cells to directly signal follicles to stay in the growth phase longer. 

Vegamour offers a lot of reputable information about their product line, starting with the fact that both the GRO Collection and the GRO+ Advanced System were developed by dermatologists and each of the products within those collection lines has clinical data to prove its efficacy. For example, the GRO+ Advanced System has been clinically proven to increase hair density, with 100% of participants in a consumer study reporting visible increases in their hair density, 100% reporting visible decreases in hair thinning and 95% reporting hydrated scalp. 

Products

Vegamour’s product line is more extensive than Zenagen’s. They offer:

• GRO (revitalizing) shampoo/conditioner
• GRO+ (balancing) shampoo/conditioner
• HYDR-8 (hydrating) shampoo/conditioner
• Scalp detoxifying serum
• GRO and GRO+ serums to combat hair shedding/thinning
• GRO AGELESS anti-gray serum
• Dermarollers & scalp massagers
• Biotin gummies, hair density supplements, and “gray delay” supplements
• Dry shampoo
• Repair oil
• Leave-in conditioner
• Volumizing styling foam
• Lash serum
• Brow serum

This is a pretty substantial list of products and of course, each one comes at an individual cost. Should you choose to bundle products under the same system, you can save some money, and subscriptions knock off around 10%, but it’s still a pretty big investment for your hair health using a dermaroller that doesn’t have any proprietary design over the ones you might buy at your local salon. Similarly, all those extra serums and biotin gummies can really add to your routine, and not necessarily in a good way, especially for people who have a busy schedule. 

Cost

Now, given the fact that Vegamour has a more extensive product line and is clinically backed, it stands to reason that it’s also more expensive.

Spoiler, it is. 

By a lot. 

The price you might pay for a full kit of shampoo and conditioner from Zenagen is the same as you might pay for a single serum from Vegamour. 

So if you want hair care products that help you tackle things like basic thinning, shedding, dullness, or dryness, Zenagen won’t hurt your pocketbook nearly as much while still offering some comparable ingredients that keep your scalp environment healthy. 

My Verdict?

Zenagen is a company that focuses on cruelty free, convenient products that can help you prevent hair thinning, preserve your natural hair color, and keep your scalp environment healthy. Vegamour, by comparison, is for people who want full hair health and wellness with a range of products that are all backed by science and can help reverse signs of hair loss and thinning. I personally prefer the simplicity (and price) of Zenagen, but if you are willing to add a few (or a lot) more daily products into your routine and don’t mind a higher price point, Vegamour isn’t a bad option either.
