Na Da Hair Growth
by Linda from Florida, age 65, who has been using HairMax LaserComb for two months:
Spent $525 of my hard earned dollars for the Hair Max Comb. Have been using it faithfully for 2 months. So far, I have not seen any improvement in hair growth at all. Hoping for the best with continued use.

Leimo Hair Regrowth Regimen
By Jane from Australia, age 25, who has been using Leimo laser kit for 6 months:
The Leimo Personal Hair Laser Starter Kit is a beauty! It was my brother-in-law who introduced Leimo's hair regrowth solution and I'm happy I tried it. I've been using it faithfully for six months now and I'm really satisfied with the results. I will certainly continue with this program. More power to Leimo!

Revivogen Consumer Reviews

Horribly drying - it ruined my scalp!
By J from North Carolina, age 54, who has been using Revivogen shampoo for 4 months:
I had used their Clearogen before and loved it. It works - got rid of my acne. So when I noticed (or thought so anyway) that I was shedding too much hair, I ordered the Revivogen shampoo, conditioner, and leave on stuff. Within a few weeks my scalp was itching and burning, with pimples. Hair loss accelerated. Well, they tell you that will happen initially, for as long as 3 months. I emailed them about the itching and burning and they told me to use a tar shampoo every other day, but to be sure to keep using Revivogen! The burning and hair loss got worse and worse. I emailed them again and they again encouraged me to keep using the product. After 4 months I finally stopped. Well, 8 months later I'm still dealing with itching and burning. Went to a dermatologist, had a biopsy and it came back with "a crust over folliculitis". My prescriptions cost about $200 a month to try to deal with this. Almost a year after I started using this crap, my hair is more sparse than ever, and still itches! Apparently my scalp was so dried out that a bacterial infection moved in! Stay away from this stuff - I've read many accounts of it being overly drying. If you are using it and experience dryness and itching, STOP using the product as soon as the problem starts!! I should also mention that I've had NEVER had any itching, burning, dandruff or any such scalp disorder before using Revivogen.

restoria
By Keith from the UK, age 60, who has been using Restoria cream for three weeks:
after using a similar product, which was useless, I stumbled across Restoria Cream; and it actually works. I cannot use conventional hair colour because of allergy. I have no problems with Restoria. Very Happy

Vivagen Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Hair Loss Treatments
Not like the old product
By Mark from California, age 58, who has been using Vivagen for one year:
This new version of the discontinued Vivagen is really worthless. Its not like the old product at all. It doesn't make your hair look full and conditioned at all like the old Vivagen. No stop of hair loss at all. What was Redken thinking?

Youthair Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Grey Hair Treatments
YOUTHAIR CREAM
By Hussain from Oman, age 60, who has been using Youthair for eight years:
I have been using this product for over 8 years. I must say it works properly on my grey hair. I use once a month just for 2 hours, and I find my hair look just the way it should. It does not go full back to my early days colour i.e very young. But it yes, turns my hair to very natural colour to the extent that many ask me "do you dye you hair?" and I tell them "no" but I am using YOUTHAIR.
A week ago, the Arabic Newspaper of Dubai called "Alkhaleej" published on Friday 30th March, 2012,that the product is harmful.

Revivogen Consumer Reviews

Cleaning
By BurgerKing from Australia, age 30, who has been using Revivogen shampoo for 3-5 months:
I have been losing so much hair on the top of my head. I bought this shampoo without conditioner for a try because they're too expensive. Its able to clean up the oil on my scalp but some hair loss during the shower. It makes my hair very dry.
By now, my hair still the same

Regenix Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Hair Loss Treatments
Tragedy averted
By Troy, age 58, who has been using Regenix for one year:
I don't use Regenix anymore. I still use their shampoo, but not the treatments. Used it for less than a year. I was just receding some, not bald. Even after stopping my hair is all still here and much better. No more dandruff too. Hair took time to come in, but stayed.

Propecia Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Hair Loss Treatments
Stopped my hair loss
By Josh from Minnesota, age 27, who has been using Propecia for nine months:
I've been on Propecia for about 9 months now and am pleased to see it has slowed and possibly even stopped my hair loss. At this point I have not yet seen any new growth however I am still pleased with the results. As far as side effects, I have an active, healthy lifestyle and so I have experienced no weight gain and my sex drive has remained unchanged. I've certainly experience no depression/anxiety that I could contribute to the drug. All in all, I would say its worth a shot.

Alpecin Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Hair Loss Treatments
It works!
By Vince from Cornwall, age 59, who has been using Alpecin C1 shampoo for six weeks:
My nephew who is in his 20's stared using Alpecin shampoo, and after 2 months noticed a difference. He dyes his hair and the rubbing to remove dye from the scalp, caused it to thin out. He still dyes his hair but hair loss has stopped and growth has started. He told me about it, as I've dyed my hair for many years, and I'm 59 and although I've had a good head of hair it had started to thin rapidly the last 5 years or so, probably to the rubbing of the skin to remove dye and of course I'm getting older now. I will vouch for this product, as I've used it, still use it, and still dye my hair. After 6 weeks hair loss has stopped, and regrowth has surprised me and allayed any doubts. For £5.35 it is amazing stuff. You must leave it on for 2 minutes though, to let it soak in, and I wash my hair with it 3 times per week. I notice the hair clinics knock it, but that is because they want your money by the thousands. You do what you like, but I'm gonna keep using this stuff as it's not much more than normal shampoo. AND IT WORKS!!!!! for me anyway. Top marks, and about time!!! 10 out of 10.

Touch of Gray Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Grey Hair Treatments
Does work a bit too good
By Keith from Portland, age 55, who has used Touch of Gray for the first time:
I read reviews prior to using this product so I knew it might make too much of a change.
I left the product on after covering all my hair for 90 seconds. Then washed it out as recommended.
The color is very natural - however the amount of gray covered very substantial. Can't imagine how it would have looked if I left it on the full 5 minutes.
Product needs to work slower.

Grecian Formula Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Grey Hair Treatments
IT WORKS FOR ME
By Tamara from California, age 48, who has been using Grecian formula 16 for three months:
I was curious about the chemicals in Grecian Formula 16 so I decided to put it in a search engine and I found these reviews. I didn't realize that it had lead in it until now but I have had no bad effects from the product. In fact it seems like my hair is finally growing. It DID make my grey hair go away. I'm not real big into washing my hair a lot because it is kind of dry and breaks off so I like to leave the natural oils in and just rinse it with hot water and use a little conditioner on the ends for detangling it. I am concerned about the lead and sulfur now and am thinking I may look for an alternative but I really like how the product works I just wish it didn't have lead in it. Bummer!

Touch of Gray Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Grey Hair Treatments
Works Almost Too Good
By Nathan from Texas, age 50, who has been using Touch of Gray for six months:
My hair was about 40% grey and I wanted to reduce the amount of grey slightly before it got out of control. The product was easy enough to apply and, over the course of 3 days, pretty much removed all my grey. It looked natural enough, but worked a little bit too well. The old grey areas have a slightly different shade than the rest of my hair and looks almost like very subtle highlighting. Only problem is that over the course of those few days all my grey was removed and I'd really like to have a little bit left so that it wouldn't be so noticable for someone who hadn't seen me in a week. It takes about 3 weeks to get to the amount of grey I really wanted and then I have to start the process over after 6 weeks. I'm going to try some of the other products to find something that will be a little more subtle and allow me to keep the same shade consistently.

Restoria Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Grey Hair Treatments
Difficult to buy but good
By Chris from the UK, age 57, who has been using Restoria Discrete for seven years:
This product works quite well compared to others. The original formula was more effective (but more toxic apparently). New formula less effective, but still works OK & the smell is less offensive...
Tip 1: I have found the dryer your hair, the more effective, so, if you can, let your hair dry in the morning before applying. You will get better results.
Tip 2: The original & later formula seems to work better when exposed to the sun. I don't know if this is because of the sunlight or the heat, but again, if you can, apply to dry hair & then go outside & do some gardening for 15 mins..good results. For those of U that live in colder climates, try a hair dryer..it may give the same results

ThymuSkin Consumer Reviews

Do not Waste your money
By Mark who has been using ThymuSkin shampoo for two years:
The shampoo smells great, but is useless if you are a man experiencing hair shedding. The product is money out the door - just buy a regular organic shampoo instead

Youhtair

I have been using Youthair for a number of years and found it very satisfactory. Unfortunately I can no longer buy it in shops/chemists etc.

Youhtair creme brings back my natural colour
By George from NJ USA, age 50, who has been using Youthair Cream for one year:
This product works as stated, it does not cost much and its only weakness is its smell, which is not too bad after all these years. I have used Youthair liquid for nearly 10 years and about a year ago, I thought it was no longer as effective as when I started. This must be due to my hair being almost 60% white now. Then I tried Youthair creme and my results have improved. Now I only need to apply it every second day. I use it so that I can keep about 10% of my hair white.

Grecian Formula Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Grey Hair Treatments
Works fine
By Ron from Indiana, age 48, who has been using Grecian 16/Grecian Plus for two weeks:
I used this before but wasn't super happy with the smell. Well, I hate using hair dyes (even Touch of Grey) so I tried this again. Started with Formula 16 for about two weeks and the smell is kind of hard. Switched to Grecian Plus (foam) and it's better. Only shampoo once or twice a week and use baby shampoo. Gray is surely disappearing so I'm very happy with this product. Should be where I want within a week then I can just to maintenance. I honestly think it's the best to cover gray. I have no side-affects. I'm not sure if the foam is as potent as the liquid, but I live alone (for now) so smell is not an issue initially, but I started to wonder if others would notice, so I switched to the foam.

Alpecin Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Hair Loss Treatments
Looking better - hair strengthening
By James from Leeds, age 33, who has been using Alpecin shampoo for four months:
I use this in conjunction with Propecia tablets. I have used the shampoo for around 4 months, so just about a full cycle. I have also recently begun using the liquid.
I am always very very sceptical about these sort of things. Who can prove that the shampoo is responsible for what is clearly a recovery in my crown? It may be just the Propecia.
However it is beyond doubt that there has been a recovery of sorts, though nothing on the hairline/temples.
So far so good!

Nizoral Consumer Reviews

Nizoral is useless
by Rajan from India, age 31, who has been using Nizoral for one week:
I have been using Nizoral from last one week and there is no signs of improvement.....it is just like any any other anti-dandruff shampoo. The only difference between Nizoral and any other anti-dandruff shampoo is the price. please don't try this product if regular anti-dandruff shampoo is not working for you.

Working Well!!
By Matty from Bristol, age 36, who has been using Alpecin C1 for one month:
I've had typical MPB thinning at the temples since I was around 28. Progressively getting thinner and thinner but no area increase. By this year the hair was completely gone. After a months use of C1 I have regrowth and a continous hairline again!! Its still finer than the rest but early days and it appears to be catching up with the rest. So far sooo good!!

GreyBan Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Grey Hair Treatments
Worth Trying...
By Roberta from New Jersey, age 68, who has been using GrayBan for six months:
I have been using GreyBan for 6 months. Before GreyBan, I used every kind of hair dye available. I have a lot of red in my hair and found all products brassy. However, after letting my natural gray/brown grow in, I tried GreyBan. It is the best product I have every used on my hair. It colors it to complement my skin color. In addition, it ads shine and body. Plus, it doesn't change as you shampoo it. I'm using it twice a week to maintain the natural honey blonde. My only problem is the ODOR. It takes several washings to destroy the odor.

Viviscal Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Hair Loss Treatments
Is it the same??
By Shadi from Lebanon, age 35, who has been using Viviscal for three months:
I've used vivscal since many many years ago and it was really effective at that time but couldn't afford buying it every month since I was a student so I started using a local made minoxidil 5% and it was great ..it didn't stop hair falling totally but made it vey much slower .. then I thought it would be great to use two products at the same time so I started using revivogen as well but it smelt bad with no great reslults after few months of using it.
I decided to start again with viviscal and bought 6 months supplement from canada .. after more than 3 months I can assure you that this viviscal can never be the same product that I've used long time ago .. it has zero effect and pureeee waste of money!.. I'm thinking about trying spectral DNC-L.

Viviscal works for me!
By S from Houston, who has been using Viviscal for two months:
I am African American and have always had very thick, medium length hair. After my (recent) 50th birthday, I noticed that my hair was starting to thin around my hairline and temples. Although my hair is so thick I was able to disguise it, I was mortified. I also begin to realize over the past 10 years that my overall hair growth was slowing down to nothing.
I stumbled across an ad for Viviscal in a popular fashion magazine and thought I'd give it a try. Within 2 weeks I could see the hair starting to grow back in around my temples and my husband kept telling me how soft my hair was. It's been almost 2 months now and my hair has noticeable grown about an inch.
Another great added bonus are my nails. They are so strong and beautiful that I have to file and shape them twice a week. People are constantly asking me are these my 'real nails'.
I know not all products work for everyone, but Viviscal works for me and I'll continue to pay the price :-)

Alpecin Results
By Rod from Northern England, age 64, who has been using Alpecin for three months:
I've been using it for over 3 months. I have very thin silver hair, and previously had nothing but a few wispy strands at the front but nothing to comb. I used to trim these wisps off with my beard trimmer as they itched. I use Alpecin every day and I now have proper hair at my front hairline again which my barber has to cut with scissors - It continues to improve steadily and, altho it will never again be a really thick head of hair, the transformation is remarkable. I am very happy with my results.

Nioxin Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Hair Loss Treatments
recolonizes the scalp
By Andrew from California, age 39, who has been using Nioxin for nine months:
I've been using the Nioxin. First just the shampoo, then adding the treatment and conditioner. When I started use, my hairline was approaching a "Richard Nixon" type hairline with a lot of thinning on the top and back. When using the product, there may be a month or two of little change and followed by dramatic improvements. Since using it, my hairline had widened in the front (looks more like the top of the state of Ohio) and it has thickened in thin spots. The treatment is very affordable. You do need to have patience with this product in that you do need to use it for a while to see results, and results are slow but progressive.

Grecian Formula Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Grey Hair Treatments
Awesome Product
By Dan from New England, age 57, who has been using Grecian Hair Formula for one year:
I was hesitant to try Grecian Hair Formula for several reasons. The first was that the directions read that you shouldn't wash your hair for the first week or so. I am an avid runner and play sports almost everyday so I figured it wouldn't work for me. The second reason was that it was best applied in the morning... I shower both morning and at night before bed... I bought my first bottle a year ago and have been using it ever since...From the beginning, I still washed my hair everyday and only applied it at night 30 minutes before bedtime. It was a gradual process but by the time I had used about half a bottle, my gray hair was exactly the same color as my natural hair color. The awesome thing about this product is that your hair feels soft and conditioned. There are natural highlights throughout your hair...not that mono-toned shoe polish look you see when guys "color" their hair...The other great thing is that you just have to use the product 2x a week to maintain the color and shine. If you stop using it for a few weeks the grey starts to come back slowly and there are never any roots showing a distinction between the colored hair and the grey...it just fades naturally. I give this product 5 STARS out of 5!

Crinagen Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Hair Loss Treatments
Major improvement
By Tony from Florida, age 71, who has been using Crinagen for 10 years:
I saw actual growth within months of starting Crinagen. First colorless hairs which later became dark. I now use it in conjunction with hand held laser device. I lost most of my hair when I worked in a laboratory at age 18 when my head was close under very powerful heat lamps for hours at a time. Later rules required that heat lamps had to be at least six feet away from lab assistants. Some people now give my head of hair "double takes." However, my hair slowly started growing back on its own in my thirties as it recovered from heat lamp damage but the Crinagen noticeably accelerated the process. Worth a 4 month try.

Fabao 101 Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Hair Loss Treatments
Works Almost
By Jav from Japan, age 45, who has been using Fabao 101D for one year:
After using the product for 6 months, I noticed new hair and a thickening of existing hair. It certainly will not cure baldness, but if you still have hair it will give you a fighting chance. Wish i had known about this when i was 20. A female friend who had a small bald patch, possibly from stress used this product for a month and the patch was soon gone. After stopping using the product, the patch did not reoccur. She believes the product works, was a major skeptic at first, as was i. This has been the best product i have tried and the only one that effected any noticeable growth.

Viviscal Consumer Reviews

Don't waste your money
By Rachel from the US, age 31, who has been using Viviscal for six months:
Yes, it probably is good for your hair, etc. However, for a lot less money you can buy Nori seaweed and this worked for me much better! I eat approximately 1/2 a sheet a day and my hair feels so good. It absorbs into my body quickly because it is food. I buy from whole foods. I was using Viviscal for months and noticing some improvement in my hair and it definitely grew faster but for the price seaweed is so much less expensive and much better for you. It has sooo many health benefits! Also, coconut oil is excellent and can also be used as a deep conditioner. I love this product as well. Make sure to buy virgin, organic coconut oil for all the good health benefits.
