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.

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.

Review of Plantur 39 caffeine shampoo for coloured hair


Posted by Danielle

Plan­tur 39 is a caffeine-infused sham­poo for­mu­lated for colour-treated, Plantur 39 Caffeine Shampoo for colored hairstressed, dam­aged, brit­tle, fine and thin­ning hair. It is designed with women in mind and is aimed at stim­u­lat­ing hair growth using nat­ural caffeine.

The active caf­feine ingre­di­ent in the Plan­tur 39 range is plant-derived, mak­ing this treat­ment option a good choice for peo­ple want­ing a more nat­ural hair thin­ning treatment.

Plan­tur 39 caf­feine sham­poo is designed pri­mar­ily for post-menopausal women as a treat­ment for thin­ning hair that is the result of hor­monal changes. How­ever, it’s suit­able for other types of hair loss as well.

The stim­u­lat­ing effect of caf­feine can help “wake up” the hair fol­li­cles of both men and women suf­fer­ing from thin­ning hair. Caf­feine has been sci­en­tif­i­cally proven to pro­tect hair from the effects of both free rad­i­cals and testos­terone (DHT).

Both can weaken the hair fol­li­cles and speed up the hair shed­ding process. Menopausal women expe­ri­ence a drop in estro­gen lev­els and rise in testos­terone lev­els, result­ing in a grad­ual thin­ning of the hair.

The ingre­di­ents in Plan­tur 39 Caf­feine Sham­poo pen­e­trate the scalp and stim­u­late the hair fol­li­cles to pro­duce new hairs and pro­tect­ing it from the effects of testosterone.

Mean­while, the gen­tle con­di­tion­ing agents in the sham­poo help main­tain the hair’s vol­ume with­out weigh­ing it down, cre­at­ing thicker-looking, easy to man­age hair that appears healthy and shiny.

Plan­tur 39 caf­feine sham­poo for colour-treated hair can be used by men and women of any age to strengthen and pro­tect thin­ning hair.

How to use Plan­tur 39 Caf­feine Shampoo

Mas­sage into wet hair and leave for two min­utes before rins­ing. The active ingre­di­ent in the sham­poo is said to work within two min­utes and pro­tect the hair from free rad­i­cals and hair loss caus­ing hor­mones for up to 24 hours. For the treat­ment to be effec­tive, the sham­poo needs to be used daily.

Will Plan­tur 39 Caf­feine Sham­poo for colour-treated hair work for me?

It is impos­si­ble to tell whether any prod­uct will be effec­tive on any indi­vid­ual per­son, but the ingre­di­ents in Plan­tur 39 Caf­feine Sham­poo have been sci­en­tif­i­cally proven to aid with hair regen­er­a­tion in women suf­fer­ing from menopause-related hair loss.

Because of the way it works and the fact that it tar­gets DHT as well as envi­ron­men­tal fac­tors, it can be suit­able for men as well, although for best results it should be used as part of an over­all hair loss treat­ment strat­egy. Because it stim­u­lates the fol­li­cles, it is an effec­tive choice for the treat­ment of many types of hair loss includ­ing trac­tion alopecia.


Rene Furterer Forticea Stimulating shampoo Review


Posted by Danielle

Rene Furterer is a lux­u­ri­ous French hair care range for­mu­lated with essen­tial oils and plant extracts. Designed to com­ple­ment the com­plete Rene Furterer hair loss treat­ment sys­tem, this sham­poo con­tains nat­ural active ingre­di­ents, includ­ing essen­tial oils and invig­o­rat­ing pep­tides, to stim­u­late hair growth.

Micro-beads of rose­mary, laven­der and orange are used for cleans­ing, and to increase cir­cu­la­tion in the scalp, while amino acids help stim­u­late the fol­li­cles to pro­duce hair. The deter­gent used in the For­ticea Stim­u­lat­ing Sham­poo is gen­tle to main­tain the nat­ural PH bal­ance of the scalp and pre­vent fur­ther dam­age to the hair.

This sham­poo is specif­i­cally aimed at women, and although men may ben­e­fit from using the sham­poo, it is really designed to be used as part of the over­all hair loss treat­ment sys­tem designed to work with the female body. Because the main active ingre­di­ents used are nat­ural, the sham­poo can be used along­side other com­mon prod­ucts and assist with regen­er­a­tion of hair in both men and women.

Note that the aroma of this hair prod­uct is also designed to appeal to women – the flow­ery scent of ver­bena and laven­der, cou­pled with rose­mary and orange, may put off some men from using it. On the other hand, it lacks the strong, med­i­c­i­nal smell many hair loss prod­ucts have and feels more like a nor­mal, up-market shampoo.

How to use Rene Furterer For­ticea Stim­u­lat­ing Shampoo

Mas­sage the sham­poo into wet hair, start­ing at the back of the hair and work­ing your way to the front of the head. Do this for one to three min­utes. For best results, use the sham­poo daily. The man­u­fac­turer rec­om­mends use of this prod­uct as part of a four-part sys­tem which includes a hair tonic, a serum and dietary supplements.

Will Rene Furterer For­ticea Stim­u­lat­ing Sham­poo work for me?

Rene Furterer Stim­u­lat­ing Sham­poo is rec­om­mended by the man­u­fac­turer to be used in con­junc­tion with the main hair loss pre­ven­tion prod­ucts in the range. Good results have been reported when the com­plete treat­ment sys­tem was used, but results can dif­fer from one per­son to another.

In mild cases of hair thin­ning, or cases of trac­tion alope­cia, where the hair loss is nei­ther genetic nor hor­monal, but is the result of the hair being pulled tightly over time, this sham­poo can be used as an effec­tive way of speed­ing up the recov­ery process, as long as the cause of alope­cia (i.e. the tension-causing hair­style) is removed. The fact that the sham­poo is designed to be gen­tle on the scalp makes it a good choice for reduc­ing any fur­ther damage.


Best hair loss shampoos for men and women


Posted by Danielle

There are many hair loss sham­poos on the mar­ket, tar­geted at both men and women. The sheer num­ber of options can be over­whelm­ing, but there are sev­eral fac­tors that need to be con­sid­ered when choos­ing a sham­poo for hair loss.

The qual­ity of the shampoo

All hair loss sham­poos claim to be the best, but some are bound to base their Alpecin Shampoo for hair lossclaims on unsub­stan­ti­ated research or even out­right untruths. It’s impor­tant to read about the active ingre­di­ents in the prod­uct and the con­cen­tra­tion of these ingre­di­ents. Some ingre­di­ents work at higher con­cen­tra­tions but are not as effec­tive or entirely inef­fec­tive at lower concentrations.

The rea­son behind your hair loss

Depend­ing on the cause of your alope­cia (hair loss), you may find cer­tain sham­poos more or less effec­tive. While prac­ti­cally all sham­poos will con­tain ingre­di­ents aimed at stim­u­lat­ing the fol­li­cles to pro­duce hairs, if your hair is falling out because of genetic, hor­monal or emo­tional rea­sons, it may take more than a sham­poo to fix the prob­lem. While some peo­ple may well see results from some prod­ucts, oth­ers may not.

Your per­sonal reac­tion to the product’s ingredients

Even those prod­ucts that are said to work for most peo­ple suf­fer­ing from a La Science Follicle Stimulating Shampoopar­tic­u­lar hair loss prob­lem may not work for every­one. Giv­ing the sham­poo a chance for a dura­tion of time and then chang­ing to a dif­fer­ent one can help you find the best one for you. Rec­om­men­da­tions from fam­ily or friends are usu­ally pretty help­ful too.

Whether you are a man or a woman

Dif­fer­ent sham­poos are mar­keted to treat hair loss in men and women, but as long as the sham­poo does not con­tain minox­i­dil, women can use the same hair loss sham­poo as men. This is great news, as men have spent years research­ing and try­ing to find solu­tions for hair loss and sci­ence has come a long way in treat­ing many of the causes of hair thin­ning and baldness.

Reach­ing for a hair loss sham­poo for men can be the best option for women expe­ri­enc­ing thin­ning hair, but it’s impor­tant to read the list of ingre­di­ents and get some reviews from peo­ple who have tried the product.

Hair loss sham­poos can slow down thin­ning hair and help pre­vent or reverse some types of hair loss, but it’s impor­tant to look at the over­all causes of hair loss Plantur 39 Caffeine Shampoo for coloured hairas well if you want to slow down or stop the con­di­tion for good. While some types of alope­cia are hered­i­tary or genetic, oth­ers can be reversed by a change of diet or lifestyle, as is the case in trac­tion alope­cia.

What­ever the cause, don’t expect recov­ery to be imme­di­ate. Hair takes times to grow and fol­li­cles take time to heal. Nor­mal recov­ery time from some con­di­tions can take up to six months, so once you have found the best hair loss sham­poo or treat­ment for you, it’s impor­tant to be patient and carry on with it for the required length of time. Only change your prod­uct if no result is seen within the stated time period or if there are any prob­lem­atic side effects.
