Ookisa – Japanese Hair Formula

Hi Doc,

I just ran across this product on the Web and was wondering if you would give your thoughts. Is this just another form a snake oil or do you think it’s possible to get the type of results they claim? OOKISA.com

Thanks!

I wouldn’t say it is snake oil, because I haven’t seen any ridiculous claims on the Ookisa site about regrowing 100% of your hair (like I see with far too many products out there). Those are the snake oils, in my book. This Ookisa just looks like a shampoo and conditioner combo that promotes volumizing. It looks like hair repair, like for detangling and giving it more shine. There’s a bunch of products out there that anyone can get at a salon or pharmacy.

I found a press release from the company that states their products are a “fusion of Eastern extracts and Western science by utilizing a highly refined variety of anti-oxidants, bioflavonoids, amino acids, vitamins and minerals”. You can read the rest here.
