Stop Wasting Money On Bunk Hair Loss Products


Recommended Posts

You guys would be amazed at the amount of worthless hair loss products I'm advertised every day. Things claiming to regrow hair by putting things that look like waist belts on your head. Other treatments claiming to be the "all-natural" finasteride. What are the worst hair loss products?

There was that hyped Italian product called Brotzu potion, which came out marketed as Trinov. It was completely useless. 

Nioxin is also pretty much useless. I heard it had some efficacy before the company relocated and the formula changed.

Back in the 80's I tried New Generation and Helsinki Formula which both are the same basic solution sold by two different companies. They were found to be falsely claiming it grew hair by the FTC, but both lotions are still an sale today.

I also tried Omexin which was also found to have false claims by the FTC.

I always go by the thinking that if they worked the company would have no reason to advertise because customers would beat a path to their door.
