Guest Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Hello, For appx 6-8 months I've been using Nu Skin shampoos per my exgirlfriend. I'm reaching the end of my bottles and want to see about switching to another brand. I have full yet thin hair (no bald spots) and a receding hair line in the front. I would like to use a shampoo thats good for thin hair like mine. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gorpy Posted June 21, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted June 21, 2008 I've been using one of the cheaper shampoos out there with great results. It's V05 Vita Burst volumizing shampoo. ____________ 2700 Total Grafts w/ Keene 9/28/05 663 one's = 663 1116 two's = 2232 721 three's = 2163 200 four's = 800 Hair Count = 5858 1000 Total Grafts w/Keene 2/08/07 Mostly combined FU's for 2600+ hairs My Photo Album See me at Dr. Keene's Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MrJobi Posted June 22, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted June 22, 2008 Try Revita. Yes, it is expensive but keep in mind it does volumize and has the potential to have some minimal positive effects on hairloss.. Other shampoos are just volumizers so its really a matter of whether you believe the research behind it.

Regular Member mikeh Posted June 22, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted June 22, 2008 I have been using a shampoo called Hair Cycle which I found after researching on google for a shampoo to use post HT surgery. I've been using it for about three weeks and it is really a great shampoo without the harsh chemicals that some shampoos have. It really adds thickness for thinning hair. Hope this helps.

It does help, thanks. I've been leaning more towards that Revita that the above poster talked about. From what I read and what people have been saying, it seems really good.

Ashley87 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Revita! I only have been using it now for about a week of course. But I used products like nioxin before and many other types and none has ever made my hair feel as thick and healthy as this one and so fast. Not only does it make it look great and thick but it really helps my scalp to not itch like crazy. Also I read someone elses post on this product before and they were talking about how a little went a long way and its very true. So yeah its a bit more pricey but it will last you a long time.

Regular Member johnd2442 Posted July 11, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted July 11, 2008 A little late here, but I've been using Loreal's Vive for Men which works fairly well. I can tell a difference when I use it and when I don't, but I'm always curious about what others use too, so I'll probably look into Revita and Nioxin.

Regular Member Bruce65 Posted July 14, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted July 14, 2008 I am not sure if there is any magic shampoo that can prevent hair from becoming thinner. Of course there is a huge and lucrative business out there with prices ranging from 5 to 50$ for a shampoo. The Hair follicle is located pretty at a deep level of your scalp and I don't think that any of these shampoos can reach so deep within your scalp and help rejuvenate your follicles. Again I am not a doctor and that would be nice if some physicians can give their opinions about these "special shampoos". I rather go with a proved solution such as Finesteride (Propecia) which reduces and blocks the DHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member FacelessMan Posted July 15, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted July 15, 2008 I once wanted to think that shampoo (specifically, Nioxin) could actually help my hair beyond simply cleaning it...but I do not. I'm pretty sure that the most that a "thickening" shampoo could do is coat the hair shafts, thereby making them seem more robust than they are naturally, but as with much in the hair world...it's an illusion. As a shampoo, I like Nioxin, and it smells like mint, which is different. But I don't really see it being worth the price... I use Infusium; it doesn't pretend to thicken anything, but it seems to clean well, and my hair generally feels smoother and softer (for my fiancee's benefit) after using it.

Senior Member imissthebarber Posted September 17, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted September 17, 2008 I used Loreal Vive daily thickening shampoo at one stage. I had an amusing incident when a friend of mine borrowed it and it ended up looking like he had an afro when he didn't normally look that way. That was enough to convince me that it definitely did something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member imissthebarber Posted September 18, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted September 18, 2008 Thinking about it I should have said my friend was not losing his hair which was pretty thick. The shampoo just made it appear thicker still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Imissme Posted September 24, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted September 24, 2008 Great article on Revita. Check out the science on this stuff. Yes, science. http://www.hairlosslearningcenter.org/content/news/hair...ticle.asp?CopyID=118 Summary of the article for the lazy people: =========================================== Revita promotes a healthy follicle with its sebum removal qualities. Sebum is a fatty substance that accumulates around hair follicles in the scalp. It is believed that sebum removal from the scalp may help unclog the hair follicle (similarly to unclogging a drain), improving blood supply and exposing the hair to more nutrition. It also assists in topically inhibiting DHT (which causes hair loss). Hope this helps. I'm sold on it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Imissme Posted September 24, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hmmm...a question occured to me for anyone using Revita. How does your hair feel after the shower when it's dry? Thin and unmanageable or thick and awesome? Considering this before I buy it, it is pricey and although I like its properties, I spend alot monthly on fin and minox. I need to justify it. Thanks.

Guest Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Thanks for the info guys. I ran out of shampoo over the weekend and ending up buying some Lorel shampoo for thinning hair. I usually take a shower at work (3-4 days a week) so I think I may buy a bottle of Revita to use there. Would there be a problem with mixing different shampoos on different days?

Senior Member JohnS Posted September 24, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted September 24, 2008 Cycling different shampoos is very much advised, this avoids the continual residue from using the same everyday. Personally I think Revita is a waste of money, it is grossly overpriced and will likely do nothing other than a cosmetic difference the same obtained from much cheaper shampoos. May I suggest you consider Nano by Dr. Proctor, it is an excellent thickening shampoo and may promote hair growth as a bonus. Another would be any shampoo containing piroctone olamine, this is even more effective as a hair growth synergist than Nizoral. Lastly a combination lavendar/tea trea oil has been found to be highly estrogenic and may contribute to enhancing growth also. Check around.

Senior Member HK500 Posted October 21, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted October 21, 2008 I have used Revita for over a year, it is the best shampoo I have found so far, I tried quite a few in the past few years. My hair is naturally thin and dry and Revita makes it full and healthy and shiny plus it helps slow the hair loss. I am always suspicious of new products but I am quite impressed with Revita, I don't know of anything better at the moment. I find the best prices on EBay and sometimes on Amazon when I buy it in quantities of 3 or 4.

Regular Member Liz.P Posted November 10, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted November 10, 2009 Can you buy Revita over the counter, and in Europe? Or is it an internet shampoo, or only accesible in the US/ Canada? I am really intrigued, I think it could help me alot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member stamos Posted November 10, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted November 10, 2009 I bought revita shampoo from a U.K. webstore called: BIOVEA. Actually I ordered two bottles to get the free shipping offer. Just do a quick search for "BIOVEA UK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
