I have heard of it however it was being touted for male pattern hair loss.

Most of these "remedies" are bullshit and nothing will grow hair, however female hair loss is diffent and possibly some of these might have a little more merit. As well, taking something like this certainly can't hurt as it might just keep the hair you have very healthy. No harm in that.

Hey guys, maybe nothing grows hair for you guys, but various solutions seem to work for other people. Are you really qualified to call it bullsh*t?

Receding,

The question isn't whether or not someone is qualified to call it bullsh*t, it's whehter or not someone is qualified to say that it's effective.

There are a number of "all-natural" products on the market and I have yet to see any compelling evidence of efficacy.

As soon as I see the data and the proof, I'll be happy to start advocating it.

Best wishes,

Bill

You can't possibly say it's expensive bullsh*t if you don't even know how much it costs, be fair, she could have found it for free!

I would just say though that this is Not an alternative to Minoxidil for women, although personally I can't see the harm in trying it alongside.

There is a product out there that has good stuff in it for female hair loss. They work with male and female baldness. I use this product myself and have seen good results, but I'm a man, but I'm sure you could have great results also using the product for women.

I personally have not heard of this one, but in looking at it some of the ingredients are the same found in products recommended for women. I am sure you know that the loss of hair in women, if not hereditary or DNA is caused by hormonal imbalances,and use of prescription medications. If this is the case in your research you have to find the natural remedies that are specific to your individual problem.
Biotin, Saw palmetto, MSM, grape seed,stingng nettle, zinc, and the copper are found in a lot of remedies prepared for females. I would not refer to any oral supplement as bulls**t, because sometimes your internal parts need a boost.
You have to find what will be best for you.
