Hey BuckWheat, the directions that come with Revita do say that you may experience an increase of hair shedding in the first two weeks of use. They say this is due to new hairs pushing out old ones.
I have been using Revita for 3 weeks now. I did not experience increased hair loss for the first 2 weeks. My hair loss has seemed to decrease dramatically since I started using Revita. These results are not scientific but I can say for certain that there is about 75% less hair in the tub after I shower. I have also been taking saw palmetto and beta sitosterol for a couple of months.
It's too early for me to tell for sure if Revita is saving my hair. What I can say for sure is that Revita makes my hair incredibly soft and makes it easier to style. The smell is amazing... especially considering that most hair thickening/hair energizing shampoos leave unpleasant scents behind that you can smell all day long. Revita is expensive but you only have to use a very small amount. I lather it in my hands before putting it on my hair. I then leave it on for 10-15 minutes at least 5 days a week. I have sensitive skin but haven't noticed any drying or irritation from the shampoo. I use a less expensive shampoo to clean my hair before using Revita.
I have used Nizoral a couple of times a week for years now and haven't noticed it helping with hair loss at all. But who knows... maybe if I wasn't using it I would have lost even more hair.
