REGENEPURE - DR Shampoo for the Hair and Scalp 8 Fl Oz

A few years ago I noticed that I was losing a lot of hair in the shower and my hair was thinning so I decided to do something about it the first time. I first tried organic shampoos since its cheap like Avalon Biotin shampoos but it didn't do anything. Only thing it did was make my hair grow faster but was still losing same amount of hairs in the shower as well as having more flakes in my scalp so I decided to give up and not make a big deal about it. During the summer of last year like around August I went to the barber to get a haircut. After he finished he let me know that now that my hair is short, I should use 2% minoxidil to keep my hair that I can get in drugstores. The barber letting me know was like a reality check so I decided to do something about it the second time. After looking around the web and finding other alternatives I saw a youtube video review of Regenepure DR. Sounded great but was skeptical until I saw the clinical studies of Ketoconazole in the description of the video. I also googled Ketoconzole and found other interesting research and clinical studies as well as the shampoos website and made up my mind. I bought Regenepure DR in September of 2012. At first for the first couple of weeks, I was using it every other day but now use it every single day. First thing I noticed. I use to get migraine headaches like an average of once or twice a week. That has toned down since using Regenepure DR. I get it now like once every 2 months or so but in minor headaches. I researched and the three ingredients in Regenepure DR that I believe helped with my migraine headaches is Caffeine, Emu Oil and Saw Palmetto. The latter two there hasn't been much proof but I also use another product thats 100% Emu Oil and it does help relieve pain in other parts of the body (shoulder, arms, wrist, etc.)so I'm going by personal experience. There could be other ingredients in Regenepure that might've helped. In terms of helping with my hairloss, I didn't get results until 2 1/2 to 3 months. Yes, even when using it the first time I notice less hair in the shower but not much. Around the end of November to December it got to the point where the amount of hairs I would lose in the shower has toned down dramatically. To the point where I would barely notice. That proved to me right there that Regenepure DR DOES PREVENT further loss. In terms of regrowth, that's a question mark to be honest. I will say that it looks like as of now in March 2013 as of this writing the right side near my forehead, its looking thicker since before it was starting to recede. Regenepure DR isn't the only thing I'm currently using. After the Holidays, I purchased 20% Azelaic Acid by Better Complexions and New Spa Microneedle System Roller 1.5mm. It has helped me even more. Azelaic Acid is an acne and roscea treatment. I was using Azelaic Acid everyday at first but I heard that it might cause skin problems later on but I don't know. What Azelaic Acid does is it inhibits both types of DHT and kills off over 90% of DHT topically. DHT (Dihydrotestosterone)is both connected to acne and attacking your hair follicles. Some Minoxidil carriers do add 5% Azelaic Acid in their products. I didn't experience any sides or skin issues from Azelaic Acid. And Microneedle Roller is a collagen induction therapy which will help Ketoconazole and Azelaic Acid absorb better. I use Regenepure DR everyday, Azelaic Acid 4 times a week and Microneedle roller like twice a week. I still haven't used any FDA products for hair loss because of side effects and personally I will never use Propecia but I might use a generic minoxidil in the future but for now Regenepure DR + 20% Azelaic Acid + Microneedle Roller = Success. You can get them all from Amazon.com I'm not guaranteeing anything here since some products works while others don't for others so keep that in mind since every hairloss is different from one another. And there's tons of products out there that are either scams or don't work. There aren't many things that work for hairloss. Just stick with FDA approved products and/or clinical studies. Also research, research, research. Read more

The short summary, is that I totally recommend this shampoo and happily give the product five stars (I truly believe the product deserves it). I was searching for a Ketoconazole shampoo, and after a bit of research, came across "Regenepure". I use it in conjunction with Rogaine foam in the morning, and Lipogaine liquid at night to assist with hair growth. How I use it: I use a small amount of the shampoo (or a very small amount of a generic shampoo) first in my hair and then rinse it out. The reason I do this, is that the second application will lather up exponentially better, and helps me conserve the amount of shampoo I use. I rub the Regenepure shampoo into my hair, focusing primarily on the scalp. I also apply a little extra fine layer of the shampoo to each of my hairlines (sometimes the crown) and don't really rub this in -- I leave the shampoo on for around 5 minutes. You may notice a pleasant tingling sensation when first using the shampoo. This is especially true if you apply a fine layer to your hairlines. In addition, although not my primary concern, it does have a nice texture and smell (almost minty). Potential Cons: 1. Cost - Although the price is arguable high, my bottles tend to last quite a while and I do believe the "you get what you pay for" line rings true here. 2. It does not lather up well - this is to be expected, as it does not contain some of the arguable "bad" ingredients that cause a shampoo to foam. The work around, is to use a very small amount of the shampoo first through your hair and then rinse it out -- the second application will lather up exponentially better. You can also use a small amount of another shampoo for the first application to conserve your Regenepure supply. 3. For me, it did not cure my "itchy scalp"; however, in my case the itchiness (and flakes) was caused primarily by morning/night applications of Lipogaine (Minoxidil). Switching to Rogaine foam in the morning, and Lipogaine liquid at night has all but stopped the itchiness and drastically reduced the amount of "white flakes". 4. Where I do believe it has helped hair growth, I would not recommend this product alone to fight hair loss -- I believe it is best used with 5% Minoxidil. On the flip side, I would also not recommend using Minoxidil alone, and would totally 100% recommend using this shampoo in addition. Side note: I've used another brand of Ketoconazole shampoo (Lipogaine, the Big 3) as well; however, it left my hair feeling noticeably dry (it's to my understanding that Ketoconazole is drying, which is why the Aloe in Regenepure helps counter balance that effect). I would totally recommend that you, at least, give Regenepure a try - it's my favorite shampoo by far, and I hope they keep making the product for years to come. Read more
