Cannot rate yet

By Angeles F., Santa Ana, CA, Verified Reviewer

It took a little longer than I expected for my order to arrive. Just started using it, too new to rate.

When I see it works on me, I will recommend to my family.

I would suggest to make the plastic bottles squeezable, they're too hard to squeeze, or better yet, use a squeezable tube.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

I'm still hoping it will work on my hair

Bottles are small for its price

Plastic bottles are hard to squeeze, have to remove the cap to pour the shampoo or conditioner out

Need a little more fragrance

A little too early to tell

By Cristina M., Vienna, VA, Verified Reviewer

I have been experiencing major hair loss in the last few years. I bought this product in hopes that it will at least slow it down. So far I have been using this shampoo and conditioner for about a month and, although it may be hard to tell if that is long enough time to experience improvement, my hair seems to stay cleaner longer, thus I don’t have to shampoo as frequently. That’s a plus right there. Stay tuned for observations next month.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Hair stays cleaner longer

Improved texture

The conditioner doesn’t feel like a conditioner

DISAPPOINTED!

By J S., Chicago, IL, Verified Reviewer

I've been losing my hair and have thinning hair for months, especially the last few months, and it's humiliating and emotionally draining, especially as a female. I thought this product would be the answer, FINALLY! I will be getting married in a few months now but when I purchased the product I was going to have 7 months for it to work, though I thought. But what happened was a nightmare! Not only was I out tons of money but I lost even more hair. As if it couldn't get any worse for my wedding day. I'm so devastated and disappointed! So no new hair growth and just more hair loss and a loss of money!

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

I was not allergic to it

Losing more of my hair and it NOT growing back after months of consistent use

Nonexistent customer service

By Kay B., Monroe, MI, Verified Reviewer

I ordered this product and it arrived damaged due to poor packaging. I contacted the company several times to no avail. Below I have pasted my last message to them, still no response.

Hello,

I sent the message below regarding my very first and possibly last order.

Package arrived damp I opened it to find the 2 leave in conditioners (on the bottom layer ) caps were off and had been dispensed inside the box. Please send 2 more of this product to replace them. I can send pics but this page will not allow it.

This the response I received.

We wanted to let you know that your order (#378908) was shipped via FEDEX

First of all, the package came with a note from the USPS so I’m not sure how that happened if it was shipped via FedEx.

Secondly, the package arrived in a large plastic bag as I am sure the USPS did not want it to damage other packages in the care. If telling me it was shipped FedEx is an attempt to deny responsibility for a poorly packaged product and that replacement products will not be sent then I have just become a former customer who is very disappointed in the lack of integrity in your company.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

No “pros” were specified in this review

They promise a lot and deliver very little customer service

Poor packaging allowed the contents to open and dispense inside

It works!

By Jessica R., Fayetteville, NC, Verified Reviewer

I just turned 35 and found a bald spot in my head. I was scared, depressed, I felt hopeless, how did this happen, how do I fix it? Will I be bald by 40? All this was running through my head. I wouldn't leave the house, I didn't feel like a woman. But then I ran across this hair treatment and figured I don't have anything to lose but the rest of my hair. So I went through the video and thought this can't hurt. So I ordered it and I have to say I'm loving it. It made my hair healthier in the first use then in less than one month and two weeks I have no bald spots anywhere and my hair looks and feels so much healthier, I'm loving it. The first time I realized the spot was gone I can't even put into words how much happier I am these days. Thank you so much.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

It looks and feels so much healthier in the first use

It brought my hair back to life

My hair is thicker and fuller

How long it takes to shampoo and condition

Haven't used long

By Alberta M., Texas, Verified Reviewer

I received the product at the end of April so have not used it very long. As of now, I cannot tell any difference in the quality of my hair. It is very fine and I don't have a lot as it never grew back after chemo. So I'm not even sure it will work as it's not normal hair loss and thinning. So at this point, I don't feel I'm qualified to make a recommendation.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Seems to help, but dyes my hair...

By Lucy H., Indiana, Verified Reviewer

The treatment seems to be helping with reducing the thinning of my hair. However, it dyes my fingers pale purple and my hair an extremely unflattering shade of slate gray. As I am a golden blond with white aging hair that just blends into my blonde, this color change was most unwelcome. The comb in foam seems to not dye my hair, so I am trying that alone to see what the efficacy will be.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hair feels like it is straw

By Jill S., Surprise, AZ, Verified Reviewer

My hair always felt like it was straw. Even the conditioner felt like straw. My dried and brushed off was felt it was straw when I finished drying my hair. I will return the product.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Bad service

By Sue R., El Dorado Hills, CA, Verified Reviewer

I ordered two sets of shampoo, conditioner, foam, and topical. When I received my order, instead of the topical for women, I received the one for men. It clearly states on the box not for use by women. I called and the representative said they would send me the correct topical for women. Two weeks later I received the package of topical and it was also for men. When I finally got through to a representative, she was very rude and said the one for women is back-ordered but she would send me two complimentary foam products. I explained to her that was not what I ordered and paid for. She said I should use the one marked for men. I told her I am not willing to do that. I told the representative when they filled my order originally and they did not have the topical for women, they should have notified me and let me decide if I wanted to go ahead with the one for men. They had no problem putting my credit card through for the amount of the order, but now they won't honor what I paid for. I believe since they can't fill my order the way it was originally ordered they should refund my money. The representative was really rude and would not let me talk. I told her I intend to write a review and let people know who they are dealing with at this company. I hope this review doesn't get deleted before other customers get a chance to read it.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
