LA Science Follicle Stimulating Shampoo Review


Posted by Danielle

LA Sci­ence (the LA stands for Lifestyle Aes­thet­ics, not Los Ange­les, in case La Science Follicle Stimulating Shampooyou were won­der­ing) is a com­pany spe­cial­is­ing in med­ical aes­thet­ics, cre­at­ing prod­ucts to treat med­ical con­di­tions that affect people’s appearance.

This sham­poo is their flag­ship prod­uct aimed at both men and women, and is designed for the treat­ment of var­i­ous types of hair loss con­di­tions includ­ing male and female pat­tern bald­ness, thin­ning hair and other forms of hair loss like trac­tion alope­cia. It con­tains a blend of ingre­di­ents that have been clin­i­cally proven to help pro­tect against hair loss and stim­u­late the hair fol­li­cles to pro­duce new hairs.

LA Sci­ence Fol­li­cle Stim­u­lat­ing Sam­poo uses a “nano deliv­ery sys­tem”, a patented nano-liposphere tech­nol­ogy that helps the active ingre­di­ents bet­ter pen­e­trate the scalp. This sham­poo works by tar­get­ing the hair fol­li­cles them­selves and aims to stim­u­late them to pro­duce new hairs and help heal and pro­tect them.

It does not tar­get hor­monal imbal­ances but only the hair loss that occurs as a result of such hor­monal imbal­ance. This makes this sham­poo suit­able for use for suf­fer­ers of non-genetic or hor­monal types of hair loss, such as, for exam­ple, trac­tion alope­cia and thin­ning hair. Using a prod­uct that works on the fol­li­cles can be an effec­tive way of regrow­ing lost hair while pro­tect­ing exist­ing hair, which ulti­mately results in thicker hair.

Active ingre­di­ents in the LA Sci­ence  Fol­li­cle Stim­u­lat­ing hair loss sham­poo and their effects

The sham­poo utilises a cop­per tripep­tide com­plex, which is avail­able in a few other hair loss sham­poos and is said to increase cir­cu­la­tion to the hair fol­li­cles and enlarge them, encour­ag­ing thicker hair to grow.

It also con­tains Oligopeptide-16 which also aids cir­cu­la­tion, as well as stim­u­lat­ing the hair fol­li­cles stem cells and for­ti­fies the fol­li­cles by increas­ing their energy on a cel­lu­lar level. Oligopeptide-5 is used to strengthen the hair shafts them­selves, while also stim­u­lat­ing the hair fol­li­cles, while Oligopeptide-18 tar­gets grey hairs (as this sham­poo is partly aimed at post-menopausal women suf­fer­ing from female pat­tern bald­ness), pro­motes cir­cu­la­tion in the scalp and also stim­u­lates the hair fol­li­cles. Other ingre­di­ents such as biotin and ker­atin are included to make the hair strong and man­age­able. Silk extract is included as a con­di­tion­ing agent.

How to use the LA Sci­ence Fol­li­cle Stim­u­lat­ing Shampoo

Work into wet hair and mas­sage into the scalp. Start with the roots of the hair, spread­ing out­wards, work­ing towards the ends. Rinse thor­oughly. This is a daily use sham­poo. The man­u­fac­turer rec­om­mends this sham­poo is used as part of a wider range of prod­ucts, for best results to be achieved.

Will this hair loss prod­uct work for me?

The active ingre­di­ents in LA Sci­ence Fol­li­cle Stim­u­lat­ing sham­poo and hair thin­ning treat­ment prod­uct have been clin­i­cally proven to stim­u­late the hair fol­li­cles and pro­duce hair growth. It is designed to and is effec­tive in treat­ing both hair loss and thin­ning hair in both men and women and can safely be used before apply­ing top­i­cal hair loss and thin­ning treat­ments like Regaine or Rogaine and Eclipta alba.

What other prod­ucts are avail­able in this range?

The com­plete sys­tem also includes a hair loss serum, which is also rec­om­mended for daily use by both men and women.

Review of Alpecin double effect shampoo


Posted by Danielle

Alpecin Dou­ble Effect Sham­poo by Dr. Wolf is pre­dom­i­nantly aimed at men, Alpecin Shampoo for hair lossalthough women can use it, too. It’s called “dou­ble effect” because it tar­gets not only hair loss, but also dan­druff – said to make hair loss worse. As an anti-dandruff prod­uct, the Alpecin sham­poo uses sev­eral active ingre­di­ents to gen­tly remove dan­druff and has an antimi­cro­bial and anti­fun­gal effect.

The man­u­fac­turer claims that this com­bi­na­tion of active ingre­di­ents has tra­di­tion­ally only been used in phar­ma­co­log­i­cal prod­ucts and this is the first prod­uct to utilise it for an over-the-counter shampoo.

As a hair loss prod­uct, Alpecin utilises caf­feine, which is a pop­u­lar active ingre­di­ent in a num­ber treat­ment prod­ucts that tar­get thin­ning hair. It works by stim­u­lat­ing the hair roots / fol­li­cles to pro­duce new hair shafts. Caf­feine is said to “wake up” slug­gish fol­li­cles and kick them out of the dor­mant phase and into the active growth phase of the hair growth cycle.

Active ingre­di­ents and what they do

Sal­i­cylic acid and octopirox are used to treat dan­druff and have an active antimi­cro­bial and anti­fun­gal effect on the scalp, remov­ing exist­ing dan­druff and pre­vent­ing the for­ma­tion of new dan­druff. Caf­feine com­plex works to pro­duce the hair growth effect by increas­ing the length of the growth phase in the hair growth cycle.

How to use Alpecin Dou­ble Effect Shampoo

Mas­sage into hair and scalp, leave for two min­utes and rinse off. For best results, use every day. Alpecin Dou­ble Effect Sham­poo is a long-term hair loss and dan­druff solu­tion that requires repeated use over a long period of time to main­tain results. Dan­druff will return when treat­ment is stopped and hair loss may also return unless the under­ly­ing causes are treated.

Will Alpecin Dou­ble Effect work for me?

Alpecin tar­gets the hair fol­li­cles with­out tar­get­ing the hor­mones that may be respon­si­ble for hair loss. Caf­feine is a pop­u­lar ingre­di­ent in many hair loss prod­ucts because of its stim­u­lat­ing effect. How­ever, those who are suf­fer­ing from hair loss that is the result of hor­monal imbal­ances may wish to use this prod­uct in con­junc­tion with one that treats that aspect of hair loss as well, such as saw pal­metto. Although tests have appar­ently shown that caf­feine can negate the results of testos­terone, it is nor­mally used for its stim­u­lat­ing, rather than bal­anc­ing effects. Although this prod­uct is designed to treat male pat­tern bald­ness, the stim­u­lat­ing effect can be help­ful in treat­ing other types of hair loss includ­ing female pat­tern bald­ness, thin­ning hair and trac­tion alope­cia in both men and women.

Are there any more prod­ucts avail­able in the range?

A caf­feine liq­uid is avail­able for use on a daily basis, and there is also an Alpecin caf­feine sham­poo with­out the dou­ble effect to bat­tle dan­druff. There is no con­di­tioner avail­able in the range but a dif­fer­ent hair loss con­di­tioner can safely be used with this prod­uct and there are sev­eral oth­ers on the mar­ket that also con­tain caffeine.


Sigma Skin Hair Growth Stimulating Shampoo Review


Posted by Danielle

Sigma Skin is a com­pany spe­cial­is­ing in hair and skin prod­ucts for men and the  Hair Growth sham­poo it pro­duces is decid­edly aimed at men who want to pre­vent or slow down bald­ness. That said, it is also suit­able for women to use, though its scent is def­i­nitely rather masculine.

The Sigma Skin sham­poo employs a range of nat­ural active ingre­di­ents and even the base ingre­di­ents are gen­tler on the hair than most com­mer­cial sham­poos. It con­tains none of the most com­mon deter­gents com­monly found in most shampoos.

The active ingre­di­ents include sebum inhibitors such as biotin to pro­tect the fol­li­cles from exces­sive sebum that can dam­age them and antiox­i­dants / anti­fun­gals such as apple polyphe­nol. It also con­tains retinol, which helps with the absorp­tion of minox­i­dil, the lead­ing anti hair loss com­pound (which is not an ingre­di­ent of this shampoo.

Sigma Skin claim that clin­i­cal stud­ies have shown apple polyphe­nol to be more effec­tive than minox­i­dil in treat­ing male pat­tern bald­ness, but as the tests were con­ducted on rel­a­tively small groups of men, fur­ther proof may be needed.

How­ever, when used in con­junc­tion with other hair loss treat­ments that con­tain minox­i­dil, the hair growth sham­poo can cer­tainly improve absorp­tion of the active ingre­di­ent and sig­nif­i­cantly con­tribute to the treatment.

How to use Sigma Skin Hair Growth Stim­u­lat­ing Shampoo

Mas­sage sham­poo into scalp and leave for one to two min­utes. Rinse and repeat, leav­ing for three to five min­utes. Use the sham­poo five times a week or more for best results. This prod­uct is rec­om­mended for use together with the other prod­ucts in the Sigma skin hair growth range for opti­mal results

Will this hair prod­uct work for me?

No hair loss prod­uct is guar­an­teed to work, as hair loss can be the result of many dif­fer­ent fac­tors. How­ever, this prod­uct has been shown to work on men in var­i­ous stages of bald­ness and can there­fore be suit­able for treat­ment of thin­ning hair, trac­tion alope­cia, and other hair loss con­di­tions as well. Note that the man­u­fac­turer rec­om­mends using this prod­uct as the first part of a three step sys­tem to stop hair loss.

The Pure Guild Hair Re-Growth Shampoo Review


Posted by Danielle

Pure Guild is a com­pany that makes organic, nat­ural prod­ucts to treat var­i­ous so-called “embar­rass­ing” con­di­tions such as acne, dry hair, cel­lulite and hair loss.

The Pure Guild Hair Re-growth sham­poo is made with only nat­ural, organic active ingre­di­ents and the com­pany prides itself on extract­ing these ingre­di­ents using mechan­i­cal meth­ods only, with­out using any heat in the process.

Accord­ing to Pure Guild, this ensures the qual­i­ties of the ingre­di­ents are pre­served to the max, mak­ing their prod­ucts more effective.

Nat­ural ingre­di­ents dom­i­nate the Re-growth sham­poo and it con­tains no sodium lau­rel sul­phate, a com­mon ingre­di­ent in most com­mer­cial sham­poos, which is believed by some to be too strong a deter­gent, even­tu­ally caus­ing dam­age to the hair.

The Pure Guild hair re-growth sham­poo works on three lev­els. It bal­ances the hor­mones respon­si­ble for hair loss, reduc­ing their effects on the hair fol­li­cles, while simul­ta­ne­ously stim­u­lat­ing blood flow to the scalp and fol­li­cles and stim­u­lat­ing cell metab­o­lism – both needed for the hair fol­li­cles to pro­duce new hair shafts. The over­all effect is of thicker, denser hair, reduced hair loss and healthy, lus­trous hair.

The active ingre­di­ent in the Pure Guild sham­poo, Lupi­nus albus, is sci­en­tif­i­cally proven to help stim­u­late the fol­li­cles, bal­ance the hor­mones and pro­duce stronger, thicker hair.

A 12 week long study showed vis­i­ble results with a mea­sur­able and sig­nif­i­cant increase in the num­ber of hairs that were in the active grow­ing (ana­gen) phase. Hair was said to be nearly 12% denser after 86 days of use.

This sham­poo is suit­able for both men and women and can be used by peo­ple of any age to treat many kinds of hair loss includ­ing trac­tion alope­cia.

The fact that it stim­u­lates the cells as well as bal­ances hor­mones makes it a good all-round nat­ural hair loss solu­tion for peo­ple who want to avoid putting chem­i­cals on their hair and scalp.

How to use Pure Guild Hair Re-growth Shampoo

Mas­sage into hair and leave on for one minute before rins­ing. Repeat if desired (if the hair needs extra cleaning).

Will Pure Guild Hair Re-growth sham­poo work for me?

Pure Guild sham­poo has been shown effec­tive in clin­i­cal tri­als and can be used by both men and women. It is rec­om­mended for use along­side other hair prod­ucts from the same range, espe­cially if the hair thin­ning is severe.

In con­di­tions such as trac­tion alope­cia (hair loss caused by pulling and weight put on the hair over time, usu­ally as a result of cer­tain hair­styles), using the sham­poo on its own may be enough to give the hair a boost, assum­ing the under­ly­ing causes are removed.

Korres Magnesium Wheat Protein shampoo review


Posted by Danielle

This is a sham­poo pri­mar­ily designed for men, but it is also suit­able for use by women, as it does not con­tain minox­i­dil. Instead, it con­tains a blend of min­er­als – mag­ne­sium, man­ganese and zinc that pen­e­trate the scalp to stim­u­late renewed hair growth.

Pro vit­a­min B5, a pop­u­lar ingre­di­ent of many reg­u­lar sham­poos, is also present and helps to increase the vol­ume of the hair, mak­ing it appear thicker and fuller and reduc­ing split ends. Nat­ural extracts of wheat and rice help pro­tect the hair from breaking.

The Mag­ne­sium Wheat Pro­tein sham­poo works to pre­vent hair loss, improve hair strength and pre­vent split ends, so is suit­able for men and women with fine, brit­tle, dam­aged or thin­ning hair caused by trac­tion alope­cia. It has been clin­i­cally proven to help pre­vent and slow down hair loss and like all Kor­res prod­ucts is based on nat­ural ingre­di­ents, rather than harsh chemicals.

Because it’s based on nat­ural ingre­di­ents, this prod­uct is suit­able for use with other hair loss pre­ven­tion and treat­ment prod­ucts avail­able on the mar­ket. The min­er­als and amino acids are not known to inhibit or inter­fere with any of the chem­i­cals com­monly used for treat­ing hair thin­ning and bald­ness, but it is always best to check the label of any prod­uct you’re think­ing of using along­side the Kor­res sham­poo to ensure there are no contraindications.

Women, take note: this sham­poo is designed for men in mind and there­fore has a more mas­cu­line aroma than some women may prefer.

Because it’s pre­dom­i­nantly a nat­ural prod­uct, though, it has a pleas­ant smell, rather than a chem­i­cal, med­i­c­i­nal one. The sci­ence of pre­vent­ing bald­ness in men is quite advanced, so you may well be will­ing to ignore the scent for the ben­e­fit of a sham­poo that’s been proven to work.

How to use Kor­res Mag­ne­sium wheat pro­tein shampoo

Mas­sage gen­tly into wet hair, rinse, apply again and leave on for a few min­utes. Rinse thor­oughly. The man­u­fac­turer does not spec­ify how often to use the sham­poo, although it is cer­tainly suit­able for daily use.

Will Kor­res Mag­ne­sium wheat pro­tein sham­poo work for me?

This prod­uct has been clin­i­cally proven to pre­vent hair loss in men and is known to make hair stronger and give it a thick, healthy appear­ance. Severe cases of hair loss may require stronger treat­ment and no prod­uct on the mar­ket has been proven to be 100% effec­tive for every­one. Note that like most hair loss sham­poos, the Kor­res Mag­ne­sium wheat pro­tein sham­poo is rec­om­mended for use as part of a larger treat­ment sys­tem for the best results.

What other prod­ucts are avail­able in the range?

A mag­ne­sium and amino acids anti hair loss tonic lotion is avail­able and is rec­om­mended for use with the sham­poo for best results.
