Thickening that thinning hair
There are a number of hair thickening products on the market today aimed at the consumer who wants to do something about their thinning hair without having to make a huge commitment of time and money. It seems to make sense to purchase a daily use product, such as a shampoo or hair gel, that has a solution to thinning hair built right into it. These various hair care lines are relatively affordable and have given hope to men and women with thinning hair.
The overall effectiveness of these hair thickening shampoos, conditioners and gels seems to be dependent upon experience. Many people claim to see a thicker head of hair when they look in the mirror after using these product, while others claim no difference at all. I myself. used a particular hair care product for several years, never going a day without rubbing the gel into my thinning top. While I thought it made me look less balding at the time, now I am not so sure if it was really making my hair look better, or if I just merely assumed it did. Anyway, let us take a look at a few of these products and how the claim to work.
Vive for men
Vive for men in a hair care product from the L’Oreal company. It claims to thicken hair with its patented Regenium XY formula. Regenium XY is an advance polymer that supposedly helps thicken and foritfy the hair right down to the follicle. Reviews on this product are a bit mixed, but most tend to sway toward the positive side of things. The overal gist is that Vive for men does a great job at cleaning your hair and giving it a bit more fullness, but it is certainly not a miracle worker, It is not going to give you back any lost hair, or even keep you from losing more hair. It will only help make what you have left on your head seem a bit healthier. At around 8 bucks a bottle, this product is not exactly the cheapest shampoo on the market, yet if you ask your girlfriend or wife what they are paying for their shampoo, it begins to sound like a much better deal.
Vive also has a hair thickening styling gel o the market, that I used to swear by. This gel maintains good form and makes styling easy wand does seem to thicken your hair up a bit. The downside is, is that it can tend to get a bit messy to use and leaves your hair a bit rigid the next day.
Revita hair loss growth shampoo
This product claims not only to clean your hair, but also stimulate hair growth by minimizing the effects of DHT. The shampoo is complete free of sulfates, which are known to dry out hair and make it unhealthy, and contains a large number of interesting ingrediants including caffeine, taurine, copper peptides, emu oil, biotine and caratine which make it seem more like an energy drink than a hair care product. At around 27 dollars a bottle, the stuff does not come cheap and since they suggest that you use it at least five times a week, it is going to cost you a bit of dough. Most reviews say that it is an excellent shampoo that seems to have an effect in the long run, but it is certainly not as effective as your more vigorous DHT stopping solutions. Looking at the list of ingredients, I have trouble figuring our which one is meant to actually limit the effects of DHT and the company’s web site is no help and telling you either. After a bit of research, it seems that the copper peptides and caffiene are the two main ingredients which are meant to help stop hairloss and stimulate new growth.
Tricomin hair loss treatment
Like Revita, tricomin uses copper peptides to treat hair follicles. Copper peptides are believed to work in much the same way as minoxidil does in keeping DHT from binding with the hair follicle, but really does not have much scientific research to back it up. The tricomin pacakage which includes a shampoo, conditioner, and spray costs around 90 dollars, so be prepared to bust open the old piggy bank if you feel like trying this one out. While many of the reviews are favorable, there does seem to be an alarming number of people who clain that this product made their hair fall out. While this falling out may be akin to the initaial stages of minoxidil use as the hair moves from dormant to new growth phase, the alarming number of people with bad experiences make me want to shy away from this one.
