Started losing my hair at 19 in 1999
I've been using propecia and minoxidil 10 years
Had 4 hair transplants equalling 8460 grafts by way of strip & fue

i also would like to know what happened to thana,his threads and responses were awesome .im guessin he applied for co moderator job and didnt get .so he left

yup i was hoping Thana can finish off this thread with pics but i guess it nvr happened. Are u serious? If so, then i guess he is a bit petty, but i goto admit this post was phenomenal

Anyway i have used all the products he has recommended. I give thumbs up to the aveda volumizing shampoo, and surprisingly the samy fat hair too. I think maybe i m not that used to the aveda hair potion and dirt ( i might have used too much of it )


1) Aveda volumizing shampoo - u can literally feel it. The hair is coarser and harder which i like. However like i said before, the conditioner i do not think there is anything special abt it. Works like any other conditioner

2) Samy fat hair '0' calories thickening creme - its a cheap product and David got me a good deal at buy 1 get 1 free. It feels like the gatsby clay i am using, albeit less build up and more manageable as it does not excessively stiffen out your strands. I would highly recommend it for a do-it-all volumizer. In fact, i think there is no need to blow dry, the effect is better that way.

3) Aveda hair potion - like Thana mentioned, its like salt particles but it just dissolves in your hands. Mock up your hair style with your hands and the product seamlessly gets onto the hair. It depends on your preference. I feel it does not volumize the strands more than the samy, but it defn feels much lighter. Hence if u cannot stand that feeling of having clay products on your hair, i will highly recommend this. It does achieve the layering and volumizing effect but at a high price The container is really small and its the most expensive product compared to the rest

4) FX texture dirt- managed to lay my hands on this supposedly miraculous product. din get the original jonathan's but i guess ( or so i hoped ) it works the same way. Well, i think it works just like any other clay product and in fact, i find it more sticky compared to the samy. Maybe i used too much, i prob need more time getting used to it but i cant be wrong abt the stickiness. But make no mistake, the volumizing effect is guaranteed. However, the claim by the manufacturer - feels like the day after washing...i do not concur, more like the day before washing

Ok i m done commenting. I might be wrong as i just got the products a few days back but i have been diligently testing them out. Prob i will give myself more time to get used to the dirt

I will post photos on the before and after looks after using the above mentioned products

ciao for now!

Samy Fat hair: Amazing stuff and a must have for any HT patient. Totally agree with Wb that you are better off either not blowdrying or only blowdrying a bit.

Hair potion: leaves the hair feeling too brittle in my opinion but I do use it on the crown where texture is not as important. It does do a good job of bulking up.

Aveda shampoo: I personally do not like it. I think Kerastase Capital force is much better at leaving the hair feeling fuller and more managable (Its also $30 a bottle

Dirt: Have not tried yet.

This post needs a monthly "Bump" in my opinion and goes into the all time posts hall of fame.

agreed. I am a bit surprised how come there is only 1 post like this which touch on the various products in the market. With the right products, your hair can transform from a limping thin strand to a thick and luscious one. I strongly feel hair products are as important as having a good HT.

Anyway, i have not tried the keratase capital force but after this aveda runs out, i will prob try it out since u recommended it. How abt bumble and bumble products? Anyone has any comments?

I call out to everyone in the forum who has their own unique comments abt other products so we can tabulate all the results and come up with the a few best ways on styling our hair. This thread will then be listed in the hall of fame

I actually preferred the bumble and bumble "Dirt" to the Johnathan's dirt when I used to use it. Of course, that was when I had more native hair. I have not tried yet with the HT.
