Ultrax Labs Hair Thickening Shampoo for Thinning Hair and Hair Loss - Hair Surge 8 oz for Women and Men

This is a review that is somewhat close to my heart, more so than other items I have purchased out here. You see, two and a half years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. They told me that everything would be fine, I would just have surgery and a little radiation, and go on my way. Then the tests came back with the news I was dreading to hear, that my cancer was of a type that would require chemotherapy, and Herceptin treatment.The first thing you think of is "Am I going to die?". After that, "Will I lose my hair?" if not the number one question, it is still very high on the list for most women. Hair loss may seem like a very small thing in comparison to all the other things you have to cope with, and many a time I felt like my priorities were out of whack for concerning myself with my hair at such a time, but the reason it's so troubling is because one minute you look great and feel ok, and the next your entire self is completely transformed into someone you don't recognize. It's very shocking to see your appearance so drastically altered in a matter of weeks, and this transformation drives it home hard that you are really and truly in trouble.At other times in my life, I faked it until I could make it, spent more attention on my hair and makeup to project an image of health and well being to myself when I looked in the mirror, as I am a strong believer in the connection between PMA and the success of overcoming a life challenge of this sort, but this one... at the end of the day you are taking off your wig and washing off the eyebrows you drew on, and the image coming back to you makes it much harder to realize that one day you will feel and look much better. After a year of chemo infusions my hair started coming back, and as it started growing in more fully it came back in these beautiful ringlets. I always wanted curly hair, and enjoyed my beachy ringlets to the max last summer. It's starting to come in much straighter at the roots now though, so I have been pampering what is left of the curls. I still have to take chemo in a pill form for the next 5 to 10 years, what is known as a hormone blocker. I started taking the hormone blockers right after the worst of the infusions were over, and it has been very trying to find a hormone blocker that I could actually tolerate in the way of side effects. I've been taking them for a year or so now, and have been noticing various changes. Now that the curly part is pretty well grown out, and since I have been on the hormone blockers, I have been noticing that my hair seems to be thinning, most noticeably on top and around my forehead. The main cause of thinning in average women is hormonal, and with them tinkering with mine, it makes sense to me that the drugs I take have something to do with it. While in treatment I of course did numerous web searches to find out if there were any way to get the hair to grow back more quickly. While searching, I did find quite a few posts on cancer forums to the effect that dandruff shampoos containing Ketoconazole may help to restore one's hair after chemo. Before trying this product, I also searched for the role of caffeine in hair growth, and there are actually some studies out there about it. I find it reassuring that I can find studies on a variety of sites that suggest this formula really could offer a good benefit for hair restoration, so I am hopeful.I have been using this treatment for about a week so far, I'm still getting acquainted with it, but so far so good. My hair seems fluffier. I have always had very oily hair, and this stuff seems pretty effective for combating the oil and build up. The formula is very thick, and I start with wetting my hair down well, and kind of lathering it a bit in my hands before applying. It doesn't lather the way a drug store shampoo does, and I am still trying to work out what would be the best way to use this treatment. I'm from the tv generation that grew up being told that the way to use a shampoo is "lather, rinse, repeat", and with the notion that a shampoo must lather in order to be effective. I only lather once with this stuff, and leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing it out. I have also tried it by doing one lather with my normal shampoo, and then using the hair surge. Your mileage may vary :) I do find that it seems to leave my hair a bit dry, and use some conditioner on the ends so I can comb it out and style it more easily. It doesn't seem like I need to use very much of this at all, and my hair looks good today. I'm glad to have given it a try, it's too soon to tell if it will help my hair grow, but I do find improvement in the fullness and texture of my hair, and can't wait to see how my hair is at the end of a month of treatment :)

El mejor shampoo que he utilizado para fortalecer y darle grosor al cabello. Excelente producto para el que tenga cabello fino y débil.

Wanting beautiful, silky, luxurious hair is natural. However, beauty is overrated, as is its price tag. Wouldn't you rather get the best results for as little money as possible? In my opinion, relying on stupidly expensive "miracle" shampoos, conditioners, and supplements is a waste of time and hope. Yes, I'm saying this shampoo (Ultrax or whatever) is a waste. You're better off going all natural, since the shampoos and conditioners you've been using all your life have been clogging your hair and making it filthier. They've also made you addicted to them. Ever notice how your hair gets greasy only a day or two after shampooing? That's because the ingredients are designed to keep you coming back for more, to force you to wash every single night. Companies make more money that way. Just think about it, no one had to worry about this crap a hundred years ago. Why? Because their hair didn't get all goopy within 24 hours after taking a bath! For dogs, it takes a few months before their hair needs attention. We're the ones who have been duped. This is my solution: wash your hair using a baking soda paste and to condition it, use apple cider vinegar. This sounds weird, but believe me when I say it seriously cleans your hair, and not only that, but it feels and looks awesome. The first time I did this, my hair was so light and fluffy. I was amazed when I ran my fingers through my wet hair because they went through so easily. The idea is to stop using shampoos and conditioners, and instead wash your hair occasionally using baking soda and apple cider vinegar. Right now, I can go an entire week before I need to clean my hair (I do rinse my hair every night). Please don't be grossed out. My hair doesn't get greasy for the whole week. Seriously. No kidding. Eventually I wont need to do it nearly that much. Here is a link to a great article that will explain everything:http://thehairpin.com/2011/04/how-to-quit-shampoo-without-becoming-disgustingThe author is funny and will tell you step by step how to do this. As far as hair regrowth goes, you could always creat your own creams. Find some liquid caffeine online or at a health food store, add some other liquid or powder ingredients that are great for hair growth and apply it. You don't need to spend so much money on a shampoo that may or may not work for you. Plus, this way you really know what you're putting on your skin.I hope this helps someone. You might also consider making your own toothpaste, deodorant and dishwashing / clothes detergents. Finding recipes online is easy and the recipes are always simple and usually quick. This will also save you money in the long run. I make all of these myself. (Just this week I made my own deodorant and it works better than anything store bought.)
