This post is me being honest on all the hair growth products I have used. How they worked for me and my honest opinion on the product.
From the ages of 20-24 in the order of me purchasing them:
- Kirkland 5% Minoxidil Solution – I have no idea if this product worked as I stopped using it as it made my hair greasy. I don’t recommend this product. If you want to keep your hair to have it looking nice, then why buy a product that makes it greasy.
- Regaine 5% Minoxidil Foam (UK Rogaine) – I used this for around 6 months twice daily and noticed my hair had become thicker, but I stopped using it because It was giving me red spots on the top of my head. This product works and I will come back to it further down my list.
- Saw Palmmeto Tablets – I forget the dosage but I do not recall noticing any difference. I stopped using these tablets.
- Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo – After a lot of reading and scepticism I finally decided to buy this product. I can honestly say after 2 weeks my hair had virtually stopped falling out when I ran my fingers through my hair. I genuinely believe in this product and recommend it to anyone who is not sensitive to caffeine.
- Alpecin Double Effect Shampoo – This made no difference to the normal shampoo for me. Its not worth paying extra for unless you are not having any success with the regular Alpecin shampoo
- Alpecin Liquid Hair Energizer – I can not say if this product did much for hair loss, that being said, it made my hair smell nice and look clean. I ended up using this like a tonic to freshen my hair up in the morning before I showered. Worth buying to see if it works for you, if not at least you have a nice hair tonic.
- Nisim Shampoo With Scalp and Hair Extract – I had discontinued the use of all above products and tried just these by Nisim. Within 2 weeks my hair had started to fall back out like there was no tomorrow. I quickly reverted back.
As you can gather from reading the above, I had some success but mostly failures.
Whilst continuing to use Alpecin caffeine shampoo I had decided to give Regaine foam another try. This time I only used it once a day and missed a day when my head felt any irritation. I noticed by doing this my hair was no longer falling out, and it was slowly increasing in density. I also noticed that I experienced no shedding. As always minimal gains minimal side affects.
After my hair transplant I was introduced to a new product called:
- Haarex HGS Premium – This is designed for after hair transplants but also works for regular prevention of hair loss. This product is much like Alpecin caffeine shampoo and it has similar ingredients.
After having a hair transplant its usual to loose hair during the shedding stage. Now after my shedding stage and using this product, when i run my hands through my hair, I am no longer seeing any hairs falling of my head or into my hands. This product is one to watch out for and try you may find this could be the start of keeping all your old and new hair.
