Hair Thickening Shampoo for Thinning Hair and Hair Loss - Hair Surge 8 oz for Women and Men

This is a review that is somewhat close to my heart, more so than other items I have purchased out here. You see, two and a half years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. They told me that everything would be fine, I would just have surgery and a little radiation, and go on my way. Then the tests came back with the news I was dreading to hear, that my cancer was of a type that would require chemotherapy, and Herceptin treatment.The first thing you think of is "Am I going to die?". After that, "Will I lose my hair?" if not the number one question, it is still very high on the list for most women. Hair loss may seem like a very small thing in comparison to all the other things you have to cope with, and many a time I felt like my priorities were out of whack for concerning myself with my hair at such a time, but the reason it's so troubling is because one minute you look great and feel ok, and the next your entire self is completely transformed into someone you don't recognize. It's very shocking to see your appearance so drastically altered in a matter of weeks, and this transformation drives it home hard that you are really and truly in trouble.At other times in my life, I faked it until I could make it, spent more attention on my hair and makeup to project an image of health and well being to myself when I looked in the mirror, as I am a strong believer in the connection between PMA and the success of overcoming a life challenge of this sort, but this one... at the end of the day you are taking off your wig and washing off the eyebrows you drew on, and the image coming back to you makes it much harder to realize that one day you will feel and look much better. After a year of chemo infusions my hair started coming back, and as it started growing in more fully it came back in these beautiful ringlets. I always wanted curly hair, and enjoyed my beachy ringlets to the max last summer. It's starting to come in much straighter at the roots now though, so I have been pampering what is left of the curls. I still have to take chemo in a pill form for the next 5 to 10 years, what is known as a hormone blocker. I started taking the hormone blockers right after the worst of the infusions were over, and it has been very trying to find a hormone blocker that I could actually tolerate in the way of side effects. I've been taking them for a year or so now, and have been noticing various changes. Now that the curly part is pretty well grown out, and since I have been on the hormone blockers, I have been noticing that my hair seems to be thinning, most noticeably on top and around my forehead. The main cause of thinning in average women is hormonal, and with them tinkering with mine, it makes sense to me that the drugs I take have something to do with it. While in treatment I of course did numerous web searches to find out if there were any way to get the hair to grow back more quickly. While searching, I did find quite a few posts on cancer forums to the effect that dandruff shampoos containing Ketoconazole may help to restore one's hair after chemo. Before trying this product, I also searched for the role of caffeine in hair growth, and there are actually some studies out there about it. I find it reassuring that I can find studies on a variety of sites that suggest this formula really could offer a good benefit for hair restoration, so I am hopeful.I have been using this treatment for about a week so far, I'm still getting acquainted with it, but so far so good. My hair seems fluffier. I have always had very oily hair, and this stuff seems pretty effective for combating the oil and build up. The formula is very thick, and I start with wetting my hair down well, and kind of lathering it a bit in my hands before applying. It doesn't lather the way a drug store shampoo does, and I am still trying to work out what would be the best way to use this treatment. I'm from the tv generation that grew up being told that the way to use a shampoo is "lather, rinse, repeat", and with the notion that a shampoo must lather in order to be effective. I only lather once with this stuff, and leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing it out. I have also tried it by doing one lather with my normal shampoo, and then using the hair surge. Your mileage may vary :) I do find that it seems to leave my hair a bit dry, and use some conditioner on the ends so I can comb it out and style it more easily. It doesn't seem like I need to use very much of this at all, and my hair looks good today. I'm glad to have given it a try, it's too soon to tell if it will help my hair grow, but I do find improvement in the fullness and texture of my hair, and can't wait to see how my hair is at the end of a month of treatment :)

I can honestly say that I have lost faith in all hair loss/hair growth products UNTIL I tried the Ultrax Labs Hair Surge Caffeine Hair Loss Hair Growth Stimulating Shampoo - with this product my faith in hair loss/hair growth products has been restored.I've been in the process of losing my hair since my early twenties, due to the daily abuse that I put it through, from chemically treating it to regularly straightening it to even gluing hair extensions in my hair and losing an enormous amount of hair when I took them out. However, the straw that broke the camel's back with my hair loss was my pregnancy - after having a child I couldn't even wear my hair down because running my fingers through my hair would cause me to lose about 15 hairs every time. I would be mortified when I had to wash my hair because the amount of hair that was in the tub was probably enough to make a wig out of it. My hair was literally shedding EVERYWHERE.For the past few years I have tried probably every product there is out there to help with my hair thinning problem. From vitamins/supplements to hair loss kits to hair masks to other hair loss shampoos, I even went as far as changing my diet around to help prevent hair loss and NOTHING helped until I laid my hands on the Ultrax Labs Hair Surge Caffeine Hair Loss Hair Growth Stimulating Shampoo. I've been using this shampoo for about 2 weeks now and I already notice a difference! Ever since I began using this shampoo my hair feels thicker and fuller. In addition, this shampoo has accelerated my hair growth... I can see baby hairs beginning to grow around my hairline. Furthermore, when I go shower now or brush my hair I notice a considerably less amount of hair falling out.There are a few other reasons why I love this shampoo over anything else I have tried. First, working full-time and being a parent, time is of the essence to me so I needed something thats quick. Using this shampoo I only have to leave the shampoo on for 5 minutes which is totally doable with my schedule and the ease of application is very simple. Second, the other products that I used leave my hair feeling oily and dirty but not this shampoo...after using this shampoo my hair doesn't feel oily, it leaves my hair feeling clean, healthy and silky smooth. Third, the other products that I used had an awful/unbearable smell but not this shampoo - this shampoo has a pleasant smell and not overly fragrant. Lastly, the price of this shampoo is comparable, if not cheaper, than the other products I have tried.I absolutely love this product and I don't even have 1 bad thing to say about it. This product helped me save my hair and I will continue using it and recommending it to others!
