hair loss

Might want to give FNS a try when it comes out - osmotics.com

I personally use Alterna`s Follicle Treatment and Shampoo/Conditioners....Lipozyt Plus from lipoxidil.com, a Japanese apple pro product that isn`t readily available yet...and a thinning hair shampoo from Lamas.

I`ve been using the follicle treatment for around 4 months now. Prior to that I used Tricomin for over a month and sampled another product(curetage) for a couple weeks after that. What got me interested the Alterna products was the company- high quality, the ingredients- a # of things other products use plus some more, and the fact that it is in a mousse form- a lot easier to apply for someone with quite a bit of hair yet. If one is balding it would be really easy to apply. I basically apply it whever my hair is thinning or receded...and apply the other products I mentioned only on the receding areas before bedtime.

Here is their website- the Life line is what I use, both the Life and Restore products:

It tells you basically what it does. It doesn`t make outrageous claims..and as I like to tell people what might work for one person may not work for another.

Here are the ingredients for the Follicle Treatment:

I LOVE the Lamas shampoo...just the smell and the refreshed feeling on my scalp afterwards. I use that every other day- once a day. The Alterna "thinning hair" shampoos/conditioners are great as well...the Life ones I use if going out etc....the Restore ones all the other times I`m not using the Lamas or the Alterna Life ones.

Here`s some info on that apple pro product I mentioned: http://www.kyowa.co.jp/netext/er991101.htm

If you can`t get your hands on that you can always try a grape seed extract product....or FNS from osmotics.com if it ever comes out.
