Lipogaine Big 5 Hair Stimulating All Natural Shampoo for Hair Thinning Breakage purple 16oz

Lipogaine's Big 5 is a specialty shampoo with ingredients that can potentially effect hair loss and growth. Search "pubmed.gov" for "caffeine alopecia" and "saw palmetto alopecia" and you will find medical research verifying positive effects on hair growth. There are several shampoos available with these ingredients. I've tried three. One seemed to have no noticeable effect. Another had an initial noticeable effect, especially on hair texture. However, due to it's high detergent content the recommended frequent use actually damaged and dried out my hair. And, it was expensive. When I began using Lipogaine's Big 5 I found it to be much gentler on my hair. With long term use ( I'm on my fourth bottle) my hair loss has stopped, my scalp feels clean, and hair texture is good. I also appear to have some hair re-growth on the crown of my scalp. It also sells for less than half the price of previous shampoo. Bottom Line: This shampoo works AND it's affordable. Read more

I've had a lot of hair issues the last 4 years. Stress in my life has caused my hair to shed, thin and fall out. I have tried lots of supplements and shampoos. I read the reviews and thought I would try this. I am currently on my second bottle of Big 5 shampoo so feel I have good knowledge to pass on. After wetting my hair in the shower I use a small amount to scrub the scalp all over and rinse. Then I repeat with more shampoo and let it sit on my scalp for a few minutes. The smell is nice and the oils feel good and comforting on my scalp. Rinse really good and apply the Big 5 conditioner. Again I let it sit for about 5 minutes. After using this for 6 weeks I am now happy to say I have new hair growth and my hair is thicker. I will keep buying this product. Thank you to others that left reviews before me. Read more

SHe says it makes her hair nice and thicker,and it looks fantastic tbh, it retains more hair and not fall off easy, dont know about making the hair grow more, but for keeping it on her head longer and stronger. Her scalp tingles and it feels refreshing. One thing though, her hair is fuller but scalp is producing more sebum oils, though it feels clean through out? They dont look like dry scalp dandruff that is flaky, just like seeds. Maybe she needs to drink more water. GOod product overall, happy wife, happy life. Read more

Scam. Not working at all. I was ordering a smaller bottle but they said it was not available. I end up ordering bigger one and then what, they sent me two smaller once. Read more

Great product! I personally cant deal with serums and special creams for hair growth, tried a lot of different brands and there was always something bothering me: smell, consistency or the work you have to do to make them work (apply, walk around or sleep and wash it off in the morning - which can be a pain, if you have long hair). Therefore shampoo is the best option for me, I just follow my usual shower/washing hair routine: shampoo, conditioner and you good to go! I have been using Lipogaine shampoo already for two years, started when product was called “the big 3”. I love the smell and how light and fresh my hair look after I used it. The product really helps with hair growth, I constantly receive compliments how full and healthy my hair look, without using any volume products or special styling. The real difference I noticed after 6 month of using Lipogaine - there were less hair on a shower drain and on the brush. I do think it is important to follow instructions and apply shampoo twice, leaving second time it on for 2-4 mins before rinsing to reach a desired effect. Read more

I was previously using other shampoos and hairs would either be in my hand or on the shower floor. I was concerned about too much hair falling out so wanted to try a more natural shampoo instead of a shampoo with too many chemicals. If you do your research on the vitamins and natural herbal products that your hair follicles need you will find that most of them are contained in this shampoo. Within just a few days after using this shampoo I noticed that there was not even a single strand of hair in my hand or on the shower floor. That's when I knew I finally found the RIGHT shampoo. After just a few weeks my hair was also fuller. Obviously from losing less hair. I am not saying this shampoo grows hair as I have no proof of that but I do have proof that it stopped my hair from falling out which was my number one priority. I am confident that the natural ingredients do help with natural growth. My scalp did get a little dry and itchy but it was winter weather at the time and I didn't buy the Conditioner that they sell. I recently bought the conditioner and it added the moisturizer needed for the scalp. I highly recommend this shampoo if you are looking for a more natural product and one that STOPS your hair from falling out. And do not try to be cheap and skip on the conditioner. I also highly recommend it since it also has less chemicals and more natural ingredients. Read more

I've been using the Lipogaine Big 5 Shampoo for close to a year and a half after trying many other products for the better part of half a decade. I originally came to it from reddit/tressless which is a community for hair loss. Fortunately I'm not struggling with male pattern baldness, but I have an autoimmune condition that can leave my hair very dry and very brittle. Lipogaine Big 5 Shampoo thoroughly cleans my hair without stripping it of essential oils and nutrients. I'll usually put it on at the start of my shower and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before rinsing it out. I love this stuff so much I keep a small travel bottle in my dopp kit as well as in my gym locker. My hair has never felt (or looked better) and I'll be a a loyal user for the significant future.

Seems like it is doing it's job reasonably. But I am not seeing as much results as I had hoped. The water around where I live is pretty terrible, so this is a measure of damage control. Read more
