Lady Alopecia’s Complete Folexin Reviews
30 Comments
I’ve had alopecia areata for most of my life. And I’ve tried dozens of different shampoos, topical treatments and natural remedies. I’ve previously shared my favorite shampoos for hair loss – and since October 2020, Revita shampoo has topped that list. Plus, as you’ll see on on the company’s website, customer and expert Revita shampoo reviews alike are pretty positive, too!
In this post, I’ll share my personal experience so you can see if it’s something you want to try yourself – and whether Revita really could be the best shampoo to regrow hair.
Before I get into Revita’s many benefits, let me be clear on something: a shampoo that can magically fix alopecia doesn’t really exist. Alopecia is an autoimmune condition, caused by a range of factors including stress, hormonal imbalance, genetics and poor lifestyle habits – so typically, it takes more than a topical treatment to heal it.
Having said that, certain hair loss shampoos do support the natural hair growth process. The best ones are free from harmful chemicals, such as sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate, typically found in cheaper shampoos. These components just irritate the scalp further and raise inflammation levels (which anyone with autoimmune issues wants to avoid, bigtime).
Hair loss shampoos, however, are kind on the scalp and contain proven hair growth ingredients – basically providing the best environment possible for regrowth. They may not stimulate hair growth overnight but they are worth switching up your regular shampoo for. And as we’ll see in this post, they can be very effective!
I’ve had a great experience with Revita for promoting hair growth and the Revita shampoo reviews I’ve read on Amazon are overwhelmingly positive, too.
Although some of these reviews say the formula has changed (which is why I’d recommend getting it direct from the manufacturer, for guaranteed authenticity) I can only say why and how it’s worked for me.
Plus, the evidence-based reasons to show why I believe it can work for anyone with thinning or shedding hair…even for those with alopecia and hormonal hair loss! It’s safe to use while pregnant and can be used as a shampoo for postpartum hair loss. Some customers called it the best shampoo for thyroid hair loss, too.
DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is the hormone typically linked to hair loss – particularly androgenetic alopecia, aka male pattern baldness. Basically, too much DHT can shrink your hair follicles, shorten their growth cycle, result in brittle hair that sheds more easily and prevent your follicles from growing new hairs.
Luckily, Revita’s natural ingredients like caffeine and emu oil block DHT without any nasty side effects. In fact, some studies show caffeine to be just as effective as topical minoxidil in this regard – making Revita one of the best men’s shampoo for hair loss, instead of a harsh treatment like Rogaine.
These hair stimulating compounds have also shown faster hair growth and new hair growth after episodes of hair loss in clinical studies. And with more and more people experiencing COVID-related spells of hair loss, Revita shampoo offers a promising solution for regrowth.
Often environmental damage, stress, aging or excessive styling can lead to dry, brittle and damaged hair. Thin hair that’s much more prone to snapping and shedding, and an irritated scalp that won’t produce new hair in its place.
But Revita restores and reinvigorates each and every strand, right from the hair follicle, to give you a healthy mane again and reduce hair breakage, too!
In fact, Revita starts reviving those hair follicles from the first time you use it – you’ll probably notice a difference in volume, texture and shine immediately! That’s thanks to nourishing ingredients like emu oil, rooibos tea, biotin and niacinamide (a form of Vitamin B3), plus the antioxidants I’ll cover in the next part.
DS Laboratories, who make Revita and sell plenty of other hair growth treatments on their website, are really transparent about their testing procedures. They include full reports from their clinical studies on the product page, plus highlight the key results.
For instance, among the men and women who used Revita hair lengthening shampoo daily for 90 days:
✓ Suitable for all hair types, men & women
✓ Can be used on color treated hair
✓ Hypoallergenic, with no sulfates or parabens
✓ Super affordable
✓ Safe during pregnancy & breastfeeding
✓ Dermatologist recommended
✓ Cruelty-free
✓ Oxo-biodegradable packaging
✓ Smells great!
✓ Over 10,000 5-star Revita shampoo reviews
With 14 kickass natural ingredients, you’ve got the best chance of creating a healthy scalp and stronger hair! DS Laboratories also use a proprietary Nanosome Delivery System across all their products. What this does is continuously release active ingredients, bit by bit, for higher efficiency and longer-lasting results.
The chemical-free extraction process involved in Revita Shampoo means it preserves the molecular integrity and maximum nutrients of its powerful ingredients. Oh, and they come packaged in a kinder way, too. Because DS Labs recently switched to oxo-biodegradable packaging, which uses 90% less waste compared to its predecessors. Nice one, guys!
Update April 2024: Although Revita used to contain ketoconazole, a popular DHT blocker in many hair loss treatments, the brand has now removed it from both its US and UK product lines. I don’t see this as a major issue though, as ketoconazole is largely used to treat fungal infections and it can lead to unpleasant side effects for some people. Without it, you’re still getting great natural DHT blockers like caffeine and emu oil!
LA Says: To learn more about some of Revita’s star ingredients, and how they support hair growth, check out this shiny video from dermatologist Dr. Dustin Portela.
I ordered the thinning hair shampoo from DS Labs after coming across really positive reviews online. I’d also emailed the company with a couple of questions and to see if it was possible to ship to Vietnam. I found the customer service to be amazing – so quick to respond and super-helpful!
The shampoo arrived pretty quickly, around two weeks after I ordered it. And things often take much longer to get to Vietnam! After the very first use, I noticed how shiny my hair was, and how much thicker it looked, too. My husband even commented on my thicker hair, joking that my mohawk had doubled in volume!
We were off to a good start. And I continued using Revita, alternating it with Pura D’Or Hair Thinning shampoo (read my review on that here). I loved how it smelled, loved the orangey colour and like I said, loved the sheen it gave me! I only needed a small amount to get a good lather so my bottle lasted for ages, too.
After using Revita for just two weeks, I noticed:
This was an especially exciting result as I hadn’t seen vellus hair on my patches in AGES. Unfortunately, it didn’t progress into longer, terminal hair – but still, I was impressed how quickly Revita boosted circulation and the condition of my scalp! For me, it was the fastest and best shampoo for regrowing hair.
My mistake was not ordering more bottles. Because when my bottle had run out, and I didn’t have another to start, I may have slowed whatever progress was going on. I noticed that DS Laboratories offer a subscription model on their website though, with 20% off, so maybe that could be a good idea for next time.
In the meantime, I’ve ordered their CBD shampoo so I can compare the two products!
Maybe you don’t just want to take my word for it. And that’s ok – I’m not a doctor, after all, just a regular alopecian in search of kinder, natural treatments for my noggin who shares her experiences!
And in my opinion, Revita is an amazing routine shampoo for thinning hair. But if you want to hear what others are saying, have a look at the following reviews…
“I like the ingredients in Revita hair stimulating shampoo because it combines anti-inflammatories, DHT blockers, amino acids, and vitamins to effectively treat hair loss by targeting different causes, while nourishing your scalp to promote hair growth.”
– Dr Jennifer Trent, Dermatologist, US
“Revita shampoo is an integral part of my treatment protocol for all of my patients suffering from hair loss and thinning”
– Dr Yanna Barros, Dermatologist, Brazil
“As shampoo for receding hairline, Revita seems to be working for me. I’ve tried it for a month and now have a subscription. Two spots have shown tremendous improvement in hair growth…also I’ve noticed that my hair is not falling out when I wash, no more hair on my hands!”
– Camilio H., Revita customer
“Immediately I saw a difference in volume, and my hair is thicker and healthier. Now I can no longer see the thin areas that made me self-conscious. I wouldn’t use anything else.”
– Jo B., Revita customer
“Very noticeable improvement after just 3 months. Seems to have plateaued in terms of regrowth after 6 but I still notice fewer hairs in my comb and shower etc. Everyone’s body chemistry is different and I think a lot of people are expecting a miracle from this stuff. It’s not magic, people. It could work wonders for you or not at all. For me it seems to have stopped alopecia in its tracks and rolled back what little loss I had.
– Jaye Lindberg, Amazon reviewer
According to DS Laboratories, you should apply Revita shampoo to your wet hair and scalp, massage it in gently, leave it in for two minutes and rinse. Some Revita shampoo reviews will tell you to use it daily but actually, the company itself advises using it five times a week.
I didn’t pay attention to that part (whoops!) and used it every day, at first. And I thought it was a little too moisturizing – my hair became harder to style as clips would just slide right out! So having a ‘rest day’ in-between, where I used Pura D’Or instead, worked perfectly for me.
I only needed a very small amount to create a lather, around the size of an almond. That meant my bottle lasted for ages! Personally, I didn’t need the conditioner – as I’ve so little hair and the shampoo was moisturizing enough – but for those with long hair, especially if it’s quite dry or tangled, follow with the scalp stimulating conditioner.
Good news – there aren’t any, especially now that ketoconazole is out of the picture!
Well, I didn’t have any bad side effects, and I didn’t see any reported in each Revita shampoo review I’ve read. I got a little tingling when I first started using it – in a good way, as I think that was the shampoo stimulating my scalp and boosting blood circulation.
The only complaints I’ve read are some customers saying what they ordered on Amazon appears to be a different formula – which is why I’d recommend getting it direct from DS Laboratories.
Also, I checked with the company and Revita says their shampoo is perfectly safe if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. So it may even be the best shampoo for postpartum hair loss, too!
Now, Nioxin shampoo used to be my very favourite shampoo for thinning hair and hair loss – you can read my personal review here or about its various products here.
But even though it worked for me in the past, I appreciate it’s not for everyone. Some customers with sensitive scalps report itching, redness and irritation when they start using it – perhaps because it’s no longer sulfate-free like it used to be.
I still like Nioxin, and it’s handy that you can get a different system depending on your hair type/ extent of thinning. However, I prefer Revita now because it’s kinder to the scalp than a medical grade shampoo, it’s suitable for everyone and I’ve yet to hear of any negative side effects!
For me, Revita is the most natural and best shampoo for hairfall. Still, like all hair loss shampoos, don’t expect immediate results. It may take time for your scalp to adjust to the new formula. But be patient – it’s worth it!
I actually noticed an improvement in my hair’s appearance and texture after a single use! But in terms of reduced hair fall or hair growth, results will probably take longer, ranging from a few weeks to three months. Remember, consistency is key so you’ll need to keep using it for best results!
You can buy various Revita products on Amazon or go direct through the manufacturer. Your local salon may stock Revita, too.
Yes, you can! I checked directly with DS Laboratories and they told me the formula is perfectly safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
The shampoo is $32 for a 205ml / 7fl oz. bottle – but you can get 20% off on first-time orders, plus discounts for subscriptions. DS Labs are also offering free shipping within the US for orders over $50.
I didn’t need much convincing to make Revita my favourite hair growth shampoo. All it took was using it for a couple of days to see the difference it could make to my dry, brittle hair. And a few weeks later, I saw some regrowth – so I knew I was on to a winner!
With no side effects and no harmful chemicals – only natural, proven hair growth ingredients from a brand that’s dermatologist-recommended, eco-friendly and affordable – I’m happy to give Revita hair restoration shampoo a giant thumbs up.
And I’m sure that when you try it, you’ll love it, too. Feel free to share your experiences in the comments!

Hi!
Thank you so much for all of your reviews and insights. I am new to AA and have been running in circles trying to figure out what’s happening with my hair/scalp. Your blog has helped tremendously!
I was wondering if you had an updated review of this shampoo and conditioner. I started using it ~10 days ago (after reading all of your reviews and then countless others singing this brand’s praises!). Unfortunately, I have experienced a significant increase in hair fall. Not sure if it’s the shampoo or something else, although I haven’t changed anything else that I’m aware of. I do love the way the shampoo and conditioner make my hair feel, really loving the tingling from the conditioner. I wasn’t sure if this was a common issue with the product upon initial use. Or if it’s rare and I should stop.
Separately, I’ve read that it no longer includes ketoconazole in its formulation (previously just for the EU). Do you think that’s a big issue since it does have other ingredients that naturally inhibit DHT?
Lastly, any insights on the new Revita extra strength formulation with Nanoxidil, Saw Palmetto (DHT inhibitor), and turmeric?
Thank you—know that’s so many questions!! I would greatly appreciate a response on any of the questions I’ve asked.
I’ve also been using Vegamor Gro Serum, Rosemary Oil blend, Korean scalp sprays with Rosemary (Labo-H and Dr. Hair, very cooling for my now itchy scalp), and Shaz& Kiks Scalp & Hair pre-wash (for years before AA, and hair oils my whole life as it’s a big part of my culture).
Hi Neens, thanks for your lovely words and I’m so sorry for the slow reply. I’ve just had my second daughter so am slowly coming back to the website after a few months off. Thanks for your patience!
First of all, I’m really sorry to hear about your AA. Perhaps it’s improved since you wrote, or perhaps it’s gotten worse – either way, I know what a scary and frustrating thing it can be to witness so I’m sorry you’ve had to go through it. I’m also sorry to hear about your hairfall after Revita. While I didn’t personally experience any more shedding, this can be a side effect whenever you change products (especially with hair loss treatments) as it involves your scalp getting used to the new formula. Usually, it’s a good thing – as it means the scalp is getting rid of ‘dead hair’, making room for new and thicker hair to grow!
It happened to me when I started using Nioxin…it wasn’t fun to watch but the shedding did clear up after 2 weeks and I then saw pretty great results. If your hair loss hadn’t cleared up after 2-3 weeks I’d advise trying something else, or perhaps just using the shampoo and conditioner twice a week instead…on that, did you allow your hair some rest days in between? As Revita recommends just using them 5 days a week, max.
And you’re right, it doesn’t include ketoconazole anymore…apologies, I’ve been meaning to update the post with that information so I’ll do that now! I think the shampoo and conditioner can still be pretty effective without it as, like you say, its other ingredients are natural DHT blockers. Ketoconazole is mainly used to treat fungal infections, so could be useful for hair loss related to fungal scalp conditions or irritation. But for those with other factors causing alopecia (hormonal or inflammatory factors), the other DHT blocking ingredients will be more helpful.
Lastly, when you mention the nanoxidil treatment, do you mean this shampoo? I haven’t had a chance to try it yet as nanoxidil apparently wasn’t suitable for pregnancy but I’m really keen to use it now (I just need to check if I definitely can while breastfeeding). If it has saw palmetto and turmeric too, that sounds really great!
Good on you for trying all those other treatments, too (I absolutely love the GRO serum!!)…and maybe add a little peppermint essential oil to your rosemary oil blend too as it’s great for scalp circulation and also really cooing. I haven’t heard of Shaz & Kiks before but thanks for bringing it to my attention!
Wishing you all the very best, and let me know how you get on with Revita’s extra strength formulation, if you try it!
Lots of love, Emma / Lady Alopecia xo
Hi! Thank you for all your reviews! You mention you prefer Revita over Nioxin.. but that though you saw quick regrowth with Revita it didn’t progress into longer, terminal hair .. Which I don’t understand. Did it just stay short? Or fall out again eventually? I’ve been using nioxin for about a year now and I see a lot of regrowth however, it’s still feeling so thin. I don’t have AA, just generalized thinning, I’m at about 1/3 of what I had 10years ago and at this point I’d just love to get 1/3 more back, if that’s even possible. Considering making the switch to Revita. Thank you 🙂
Hi Anna, thanks for writing in. And apologies for the very slow reply, I’ve just had a baby so I’m only getting around to replying now to messages! So yes, with Revita I saw regrowth in my bald patches, but it was more like fuzzy downy hair…I didn’t have as much success as I did with Nioxin, when I used it all those years ago. I know logically I should prefer Nioxin in that case but as it has so many more chemicals and as the treatment plan involved so many products (I was using the shampoo, conditioner, scalp treatment, exfoliator and night serum whereas with Revita it was just shampoo and conditioner), I still rate Revita higher just in terms of convenience and its more natural ingredients. Plus, I got more initial shedding with Nioxin whereas I didn’t with Revita, which was a big bonus for me!
People do rave about Nioxin for thinning hair so if you haven’t had any adverse effects and if it seems to be working (ish) for you, maybe you could continue taking it but add other measures (like supplements, or an autoimmune diet) to see if that helps? This brand from Folexin come highly rated, or you could work with a nutritionist to see if you’re deficient in any essential minerals/vitamins. My thought is that if you have seen an improvement since using Nioxin you may as well stick to it…but that’s your call. Revita definitely plumped up my existing hair and improved its condition a lot (whereas Nioxin dried my existing hair out a bit). Since you should only use Revita 5 days a week perhaps you could alternate with Nioxin? That’s what lots of my readers do, alternating Nioxin with a gentle shampoo, and it seems to work well for them!
Would love to hear how you get on if you have a chance to provide feedback. Thanks so much!

I have been using Revita shampoo for the past 10 months and slowed the shedding down a lot but of late its falling out more again. Do you have any recommendations.
Hi Janice, thanks so much for sharing your experience! And I’m sorry to hear about the shedding coming back. Hair loss is, unfortunately, triggered by various things (see this post for more) so it might take a holistic approach to help it come back. In addition to trying their shampoo, I’d recommend this serum with nanoxidil, or you might like to take a supplement to correct any hormonal imbalances going on. An anti-inflammatory diet could help too and I’d also recommend regularly massaging your scalp with coconut oil and a few drops of peppermint or rosemary essential oil. Hope that helps! 🙂 Emma / Lady Alopecia x
Hello Ladyalopecia!
So happy I found your page – such amazing information!
I had my first bald spot show up about 6 months ago. My dermatologist started me on a once a day topical steroid and injections once a month to which I responded well but then a couple other spots showed up and I don’t like the idea of having to continue the injections for too long.
I have thin hair but a lot of it and there are no signs of general hair loss just the bald spots. Also, my scalp is extremely oily so tons of build up – my dermatologist said I have to wash my hair at least every other day. Would you still recommend this shampoo for someone like me?
Thanks!
Hi Sylvia! Thanks so much for your lovely feedback about my site – I really appreciate it! i’m really sorry to hear about your hair loss and like you, I wouldn’t be a massive fan of long-term steroid injections, either. I had them when I was 16 and they had pretty bad side effects, which is why I prefer a more natural approach now!
Yes, I’d still recommend Revita as it’s a super-natural approach to managing hair loss or encouraging growth in bald patches. It gently cleanses that oil from your scalp, without drying it out and it’s actually recommended 5 days a week instead of daily (but you can use it every other day either). I would get the conditioner too as the shampoo alone can dry out your hair for the first week or so until your scalp gets used to the formula. But the conditioner leaves it incredibly moisturized!
Finally, if you want an alternative to that topical steroid solution, the same company who make Revita also make nanoxidil – which is basically minoxidil, but much safer. Learn more about it in my review or see the product itself here.
I hope that helps, and keep me posted on your experience with Revita!
Take care,
Emma / Lady Alopecia xo
I’m looking to order the Revita shampoo but wondered if you had an updated review on the CBD option before I do order. Thanks!
Hi Adriana, thanks so much for your question! And I’m so sorry but I haven’t actually written a review on the CBD one yet, I’ll add it to my list and get to it soon! For your own information though, I think I actually preferred the original one. No massive reason except unfortunately, I didn’t notice any real difference using the CBD version and I prefer the smell of the original one! You can also read this older post about the benefits of CBD oil for hair if you like. Having researched and written that post, I expected more from the CBD shampoo…but again, I only used a single supply (around a month’s worth) so maybe I just didn’t give it a fair chance!
Hello. Have you tried any of their supplements in addition to the shampoo??
Hi Michele, thanks for your question! I haven’t as of yet actually, but they do contain great ingredients for hair growth support (like biotin, magnesium and zinc). Lots of women are deficient in magnesium, too, so this would be a great way to get your daily fix! I’m going to look into ordering some and testing them out…watch this space!
Hello Ladyalopecia,
Does this shampoo cause bumps after using it?
I have alopecia from lupus and this is my second time that i have had alopecia.
I have been losing hair this time for 3 months and decided to try Revita Stimulating, after two uses I developed bumps and itchiness so I wonder if I should stop it. Also, I’m afraid of using it 5 times a week since I loose so much hair every time I wash it, i’m afraid i will loose too much to the point that my areas will get bigger and becomes more like alopecia arata.
Hi Ilse,
Thanks so much for your question. And I’m really sorry to hear about your alopecia, it’s such a frustrating thing…especially when it comes back a second time! I’ve never personally experienced the bumps you mentioned, although a bit of itchiness or irritation is pretty common whenever switching to a new shampoo. If it’s not causing you any pain I’d stick with Revita for 2 weeks, while your scalp gets used to the new ingredients. They’re all-natural so they’re harmless anyway! However, in rare cases some people might be allergic to botanical ingredients…have you noticed a similar reaction with other products? Bumps are ok but if you notice hives or swelling, this could be a reaction and in this case, I’d advise that you stop. The shedding is a common reaction too, again this is just your scalp getting rid of old hair as it gets used to the new formula. That happened me, too – but if after using the shampoo for 2 weeks (with the recommended 5 days a week) and you’re still experiencing the symptoms you mention, then maybe consider stopping. However for a real improvement, I’d recommend using Revita for at least one month.
I’d also recommend supporting your immune system further by following an anti-inflammatory diet (see my post on nutrition here) and taking fish oil supplements to further lower inflammation – really important with autoimmune conditions and as you mentioned Lupus, this could be of particular relevance to you. I found this book by Dr Amy Myers to be really interesting and helpful if you need further tips around that!
Hope that helps Ilse and wishing you all the very best!

Hi!! I love your blog!! It’s like a god send! Am so motivated to try revita now. My alopecia became more apparent in my late 20-s. Although it isn’t severe but there’s like a fear it could worsen as I age, on top of the post partum hair loss.
Am delighted to read that it’s also safe to use while breastfeeding 🙂
Thanks girl!!
Thanks for your lovely message, Daphnie! I’m really glad to hear that you found this post useful and wishing you all the best with trying out Revita…would love to hear how you get on! Take care 🙂
Hi, my daughter (6 years old) is suffering from alopecia totalis since 4. Do you think she can use Revita product ? Don’t think their website mentions whether children can has their products. Also there are a few kinds on their website. One for men one for women and the other one is like a booster ? Which one would you recommend ? Thanks.
Hi Connie,
Thanks so much for your question. I’ve just emailed the Revita team to find out for you; they’re quite responsive so I should hear back from them soon! Although I had asked during pregnancy whether I could use their products and they assured me they were perfectly safe for both pregnancy and breastfeeding. So I think they should be ok for young children but I’ll let you know what they say! I would recommend their original shampoo and conditioner (here and here) but I’ll let you know what they come back with on that, also.
All the best!

Hi, im new to having alopecia, and I was wondering… i am looking at getting Revita shampoo. however, i got spooked on a forum about a lady using Regaine shampoo and having hair grow where it was unwanted because it had gone on her face when washing it. I presume it’s because it is more chemicals in it. But wanted to ask you that didn’t happen when you used revita? It seems more natural ingredients. Sorry to ask i feel bit overwhelmed with it all and what to do if anything and where to go with it all.
Hi Sam, thanks so much for your question! And you’ve no need to worry about using Revita shampoo, it’s a far FAR more natural option than Rogaine! That’s because it doesn’t contain minoxidil, which is what Rogaine is. Minoxidil can work for some people as a ‘quick fix’ but in my experience, the terrible side effects just aren’t worth it! Dermatologists, unfortunately, are often too quick to prescribe minoxidil/rogaine without taking into account the reactions like headaches, dizziness, rashes or excess hair in other places. But that’s never something I experienced with Revita, so fear not!
Its natural ingredients means it’s perfectly safe so you shouldn’t experience any adverse reactions whatsoever. I hope that helps Sam, and wishing you all the best! Would love to hear how you get on after using it for a few months. 🙂
In the meantime, feel free to click around my other posts or join my free newsletter, if you like!
Take good care,

Do you have a sensitivity to wheat? If you do, it appears that you can use this product without any negative side effects. If you don’t have a sensitivity to wheat, what are some of the best DHT blocking products that don’t include wheat? Thanks for your time!
Hi Melissa, thanks for your comment!
I do have a sensitivity to wheat it seems – I haven’t had allergy testing done but when I went on the autoimmune diet I mentioned in this post, my hair loss seemed to improve a lot. And when I started eating gluten again during my pregnancy (couldn’t resist the cravings!) it got much worse again. There’s more and more research emerging now about the link between AA and coeliacs too, which I find very interesting! But I’m not sure my wheat sensitivity extends to topical products (although that’s a very good point you raise!). For those who are concerned, the best DHT-blocking products that don’t contain wheat is Vegamour – check out their advanced serum here or read my full review here. Nioxin is also an incredibly popular brand of hair loss products and has worked for me in the past! It doesn’t contain wheat, either…you can read my full review here or check it out on Amazon! Of course, you can also use some vegetable oils to treat hair growth…they will have anti-microbial factors to act as natural DHT blockers. Here are some of my favourites: https://www.ladyalopecia.com/best-oil-for-hair-growth/
Thanks again for your question and have a lovely day!
Emma
What happens if you stop using? Does it revert your hair back to thinning like Nioxin?
Hi Sagan,
Good question! And the answer is no, thankfully I didn’t experience any shedding in the break between using this and waiting for my Revita with CBD one to arrive. My hair wasn’t as full and shiny after using it, but I didn’t see any more hair loss after I stopped using it. 🙂
Hello!!
being said that … i can stop the use for a while , but i need to use it like for ever? i kinda confused.
Thank you <3
I’m sorry Yulian, I’m afraid I don’t entirely understand your question! But I’ll try to answer as best I can. 🙂 You don’t need to use Revita forever, and you don’t need to use it every day, either – actually, it’s recommended to use 5 times per week. Unlike other hair thinning shampoos you shouldn’t experience hair fall right after you stop using it. But I believe that if something’s working, you should stick to it! And since it’s an all-natural shampoo it would make a better alternative to most of the chemica-heavy popular brands out there. Hope that helps!
