Provillus
Hi Doc
I have been reading info on Provillus a DHT blocker that is said to work for as long as i take it unlike other drugs (propecia) that stops working after 5-6 years. Do you know if this is true as i dont look forward to start losing hair again and be back were i started.Could you also tell me any info on Provillus tnat you have. thanks
This sounds like a load of bull. Claims like this are not only illegal (from an FDA point of view), but unethical as well. This opinion seems to be common from reviewers of the product on the web.
Hi Doc,
I bought Provillus now, after I read mixed reviews on it. Some say it work, others say it don’t.
Is there really a product that works, without a doubt? Or is all hairloss restore products money making scemes,because they know, that bald people will do anything to get their hair back. Provillus says they will refund a person, if they do not see any results, but some people say, they did not get their money back, after no results.
Can you please help me.
Thank you
Provillus is another “me too” generic product that rips off the ingredients of real hair loss products, produces a “watered-down” version of their own using substandard, cheaper ingredients, and then uses claims that go completely against the FDA’s regulations for dietary supplements. The company also makes lots of other cheap versions of weight loss, breast enlargement, and penis enlargement pills. Stay away from them, use a proven product.
I started losing hair at the age of 20, and my mother found this product online. I tried it for about 3 months and did actually notice some hair growth where my hair was thining out. My hair stoped falling out as well. However, once i stoped using it, i had the same problem as before. Now, one of the main components is Saw Palmento, which you can actually buy anywhere and see if it works. I did take Saw Palmento prior to taking Provillus, but it did absolutely nothing.
Their return policy is horrible though. I was actually going to return it after 1 month because of some allergic reaction that, as i found out later, had nothing to do with taking Provillus. Their customer service sent me 4 pages of instructions and it just wasn’t worth my time to go through all of that.
Hi all… I just ordered a 6 month supply of this stuff. Hopefully, it will work for me. I have faith. I have hope.
does provillus work
If it works, I will tell you.
Provillus has worked for me . At 50 I have a great full head of hair better and thicker than I had at 30 .
Provillus is a ripp-off product.
The active ingredient in the topical solution is simply plain-old minoxidil which is the generic version of Rogaine. The minoxidil has been mixed with a weak, vinegar-like acid which the manufacturer’s claim improves the effectiveness; however, they have NO research or clinical studies to back up this claim. Also, you can buy generic minoxidil at any drug store for a lot less money.
The second part of the product is a dietary supplement which contains mostly B vitamins and Saw Palmetto (in the men’s version of the product). Neither B vitamins nor Saw Palmetto has ever been proven to help treat hair loss; also, you can buy generic supplements of these substances at any drug store for a lot less money. Saw Palmetto can interfere with sleep and cause upset stomach, and sometimes it causes sexual side effects in men–in some people it has interfered with the ability of their blood to clot, so taking it may increase the risk of bleeding. The product also contains Nettle root which can interefere with many common blood pressure medications.
The product is manufactured and marketed by Ultra Herbal LLC a company headquartered in the West Indies on the Island of Nevis in the country of St. Kitt and Nevis–it has subsidiaries and affiliates in various countries–apparently, at least one of its affiliates Ultra Herbal Ltd in the U.K. has had so many consumer complaints that the company itself claims on its provillus.com website that it severed its ties with its affiliate (which seems a little strange since parent companies usually setup, own and control their subsidiaries–and it makes the claim seem potentially like the parent company may be simply trying to walk away from responsibility by setting up various operating subsidiaries in different countries to shield itself from legal liability).
The U.S. distributor affiliate is based in Burbank, CA. Ultra Herbal sells all sorts of dietary supplements and a quick web search shows that there are least a few customers who claim they have never received their orders from Ultra Herbal, or the products have not worked.
I would caution anyone to steer away from companies like Ultra Herbal which claim to have a miracle new formula to treat hair loss. The main product in Provillus–which again is simply Minoxidil–may produce modest results for some people if used consistently for several months–AND if use continues permanently after the results. A few people respond very well to minoxidil and get better results than average. However, for many people minoxidil is too slow and the results–and remember some people NEVER see results–are too modest for it to be worth the money and effort. It seems Provillus is simply a repackaging of a product which has been out there for years, and for many people doesn’t give the results they want–this is why people continue to spend billions on alternative hair loss treatments.
If a product really effectively and quickly regrows hair for most people who use it, then trust me you will HEAR about it on the news. You want have to search the Internet desperately hoping to find some undiscovered “miracle.”
I would stay away from Provillus. If hair loss upsets you that much and you want real hair growing back in your head then you might consider hair transplant surgery–although it is expensive, usually takes more than one surgery, and like all surgeries, it has risks.
Have to say guys, I had read a lot of sites singing the praises on Provillus. And I was concerned at the DUBIOUS origins of them (none of them were sites I had heard of before). But I stumbled across this site and read the information, all of which I was able to back up by checking the information on the provillus site. I was moments away from putting in my credit card. And you saved me. I think I will head to the drug store and by myself generic minoxidil and try that, rather than spending a MINT on a watered down version. Hell, after saving so much money, I may even buy a bottle of saw palmetto.
Thanks for keeping em honest guys!!
Drug Stores? We have chemists in the UK and I doubt they would keep generic monoxidil on their shelves and it would be too embarrassing to ask for it.
Are there no products like Provillus that actually ‘do work’?
Come on scientists & herbalists! It’s 2007 for God sake!!!Make a name for yourselves!!!
Big John
Nanogen is good for coverage,but comes off on the pillow which is a bit embarrassing. And because you always have to use it, if you forget to order it you are screwed!!
Hi is there any products really works for getting the lost hair or atleast stops the hair fall
I, too, almost succumbed to what I observed as highly sophisticated internet marketing subterfuge by the Provillus people! Their numerous, and obviously , varied websites.
Do yourself one quick favor and try to navigator through one of these “neutral and impartial” websites – try to move from page to page within the sites. It becomes rather obvious when there are hot buttons planted internally on web-pages which direct you to the Provillus sales page! So? From an alledgedly impartial and neutral website!?!
They even go so far as to capture the search engine tool -“Provillus Scams” directing you to BaldingTony. Try sending an e-mail response to his blog at the bottom of the page.
I do appreciate the posts on this site – thank you for saving me a bundle!!
Ultra Herbal just rips off other products, puts another name on it, then markets it as their own. Just another overseas company with a false guarantee (how can they say they have a 180 day guarantee when they will only refund 1 bottle AFTER a “restocking” fee!) very crooked, Provillus is a scam!
I have had similar luck in getting a refund of my order of Provillus.
I have been taking Saw Palmetto topically and orally, brushing my hair every night 300x and using Hairmax Lasor comb with great success.
BaldingTony, TrustMichael, and HonestJonathan are just a few of the multitude of shill sites claiming impartial product endorsement of Provillus. I think disTrustMichael and disHonestJonathan are more descriptive of the thrust of these “blogs” for which there is neither a home page nor other blogging happening. A WHOIS investigation reveals the dubious similar origins of these sites. A product has to be pretty bad to require this deceptive of an approach to market it. Caveat emptor!
p.s. Chris’s comments on Ultra Herbal are appreciated.
I have been using provillus for two months and have been seeing improvments. My hair is getting more smooth to the touch as well as thicker. I can see little hairs regrowing where hair was being lost before. I used rogain before provillus and stopped using it because I got no results except for an itchy scalp. I do understand that my hair loss was unnoticeable to all but I saw it, and now provillus is bringing it back there is not much more I can say. Try other products or dont everything works different for other people. Good luck to all and lets fight this hair loss problem together!
Yeah all those balding tony, honestjonathan sites are definitely scams…i do web design for a living so i know ways of finding out how sites were made, who made them, how they were made, and where they came from. I can 100% promise you, from looking at the sites source code, that it has provillus all over it. also, im 100% sure that “tony” and “jonathan” would NOT pay money to be listed at the top of Googles search results LOL!! Also, each of those sites are exactly the same layout, and they ALL have the same interstitial drop-in box linking to provillus! One of my favorites is on the baldingtony website. They have pictures of Tony….BALD!! hahaha…must be a real good product. You can obviously tell that those pictures were probably done professionally…Tony probably isnt a professional photographer with experience in photoshop for touching up images..
Started to say, Was ready to buy until I read the above, no good Bas—–, Would like to take honest Mike and give him a little back alley justice.
thanks, guess I will just shave what I have left and try the complete bald thing.

One thing that has always puzzled me about these 100% satisfaction advertisements hair loss etc., is that they never give a 100% return on your investment if the product does not work as represented. For instance, I can promise you the “fountain of youth†in a pill for only $49.95/month with a similar 100% money back claim and I can laugh all the way to the back to the bank with your money. All a scam artist has to do is to provide a “placebo†as the product and charge $18 -$25 as the shipping and handling portion of the costs. That is where the real money is made. The scam runs on the back of the pocketed shipping and handling costs, not the product itself. A manufacturer can give refunds back as fast as orders come in if they keep the shipping and handling funds. There are a few true 100% Money Back Guarantee out there. One that comes to mind is the Orick Vacuum Cleaner. (Note: I don’t sell or even own one but, I am familiar with their product and guarantee). In that instance the buyer gets a full purchase price, shipping and handling costs returned. Now that is standing behind a product! Let’s see one of these “hair restorer†advertisers provide the same backing for one of their products.
P.S. If you need to take out the named vacuum cleaner before posting, please do.
This Provillus is a big scam, never refunds money, stay away from them. good luck
If you go to godaddy and punch in all urls for baldingtony, honestjon, etc. You will see they were all registered by the same company, around the same time, and in Westchester, CA. Maybe, we should just accept it.
wheeew. I had my credit card in hand, my hopes high, yet, my brain was still functioning. Maybe I am just tired of being screwed over by scams. This time I looked at the other side of the issue and now I have decided not to try this worthless product. Thankyou all for sharing your experiences. Do any of you know of a treatment, non-perscription, that works? Thankyou

I feel like crying. Honesty truly is such a lonely word.
I’m just turning 24 soon, and over the past couple of months, i have noticed a receding hair line and significant thinning of hair on the top of my head. my older bro of 2 years went bald, so i know im next in line. i have funny shaped head so i know i will get depressed over this. Especially since i’m single!! I’m loosing more hair on one side than on the other so its getting to look weirder. i shampoo my hair every morning only to see so much of it go down the drain. I know there is no cure to this ‘curse’, but i would like to enjoy my hair for a little longer, what should i use, how much will it cost?
there is no hope , i would suggest save your money and work on improving other areas in your life go to the gym dress nicer concentrate on other things you have going for yourself!
#25 Marcus is absolutely right. I went to godadday and kept drilling and finally got to whois.domaintools.com. There I found all three trustmichael.com, honestjonathan and baldingtony are registered throgh ENOM, INC. on Theplanet.com Internet Services Inc. from Dallas, TX. I realize ENOM is a domain registrar, but what are the chances 3 guys discussing the same topic are registered with the same domain broker?
I, to, was about to ordered up the $200 6 month supply, since everyone stated it took several months to see results.
I did order the full year supply of Procede. It did nothing. It did not burn, it did not promote hair growth nor thickening, it was only a waste of a day every three months. I still using the shampoo and conditioner, since I have it.
Has anyone heard or tried HVT from new-healthproducts.com? It seems to be a vitamin supplement. It is not very expensive. I thought about giving it a try.
wow i can’t believe i just found this site after i just ordered provillus. i feel like a comple retard right now for actually beleiveing that balding tony site.
it knew it was suspicious when he still looked bald as hell in the only 2 pics he had.
sorry if this is a dumb question but what does minoxidil do exactly?
Thank god I found this site before I order Provillus. I came across BaldTony’s website and it was convincing.. But I notice the date on the letter changes everyday. Good thing I did the research to save me $156.
Thank you all, I was ready to part with £120 after reading the glowing reports from Balding Tony and “Honest” Micheal. It now makes sense, why would they pay to be at the top of the Goggle list unless it was just to link you to the sales site. I also come across u.k sites that claim only to sell proven products yet provide no pictures.
Cannot beleive I got sucked in so easily, thank you all again.
I’m sorry, but I cannot believe the negative comments and the ‘piling on’ about Provillus. Everyone’s “so glad they didn’t order”, etc. but I don’t know why. There is not one post above that said they tried it and it didn’t work.
Much has been said about their corporate structure and lousy return policy, but no-one can say, nor has said it didn’t work. Amazing.
I just ordered it for my wife. Then I read these negative comments and felt bad I did. But reading them again, there are (at least) two positive reports, and the rest is just corporate bashing. What a waste of time.
I agree, their return policy is horrible, and I was about to take them up on it, but not any more. We’re going to use it and see what it does. But we’re not going to bash it….not even having tried it.
Keep well everyone.
I am glad that I real this before I buy it.
Ah, finally a legit site about male balding. The negative comments are music to my ears. Now I don’t have to worry about spending money on any more of that worthless shampoo I’ve been buying.
SOMEONE TRY THE DAMN THING SO WE CAN SETTLE THIS!!!!!
Provillus does work. You may not regaine the hair you have lost, but this will stop you from losing it all. Some people may see a thicker head of hair.
i honestly think all of the postivie comments are from the provillus poeple trying not to get exposed.like this dr.bornmann guy
i’m using it right now i’ll let you guys know if i see any results
I have been taking Provillus for 5 months. THIS WORKS. No I am not a sponsor of them, NO I do not work for them, NO I am not some fictional character made up just to promote the product. I am from IL born and raised. I noticed one side of my hair receeding some years ago. My hair began growing back after about 2-3 months of taking it. Most of you guys bashing the product have to realizing that all products do not work for everyone. What may work for one may not work for the other. But none the less- IT WORKED FOR ME. So:
Don’t knock it til you try it!
Wow talk about a long post of mostly bad info :)
Here is my story:
I’ve used Provillus. It’s worked wonders for me :)
I’m not some kind of sponsor that you guys are talking about… I’m a computer programmer born and raised in Toronto Canada. The owners of this blog can verify my IP address and everyone else’s IP address who has posted here and can tell you if all the positive comments are coming from the same location.
I’m really surprised that this type of company bashing is even allowed on this blog.
Anyway, now that I’m done with my rant. I actually found this blog while looking for more information on the safety of Provillus. I’ve never experienced something that has worked this well for me and I’m a little worried about it’s safety. I haven’t experienced any side effects from it yet but is there anything long term that could happen to me?
I’ve been using it for about 5 months now.
Thanks.
Jason
I got this product because my hair is thinning in the front and i noticed my hair is falling out when i was combing my hair in the sink. I ordered provillus 3 weeks ago and Boy does this stuff work. My hair went from paper thin to thick in teh first two weeks, 1. My hair has not fallen out when i run my fingures thru my hair. 2. its mad my hair thicker to were i can now wear it spiked up and it stays up. 3. it cured my dandruff and dried scalp. 4. i have more confidence. 5. i tried it and it worked, i was unsure at first but then i relized it was a go for approach. Its only been 3 weeks. I brought a 4 month supply. Ive noticed also my thinning spots are really starting to peak in. Ill will continue back in 1 month with another update.
dont be bitter make lemonade.

provillus works, first i orderd 2 bottles to try, and after i saw results i ordered more, i’ve been using it for a year now,
works for me, i comes from medical family, and you can find more dangerous drugs in fda aproved, every few years they withdraw some products, today there is no time for testing it in labs and it’s losing money, people are lab rats
FDA is scam too,
trust me, fallow your own instincts, try it and if there is no results don use it
minoxidil works too,
generic minoxidil you can buy in every chemist or drugstore or you have to order it at your chemist
i’m not in us or uk, i was there, but now i’m in europe in small country where you can buy minoxidil at every chemist,
you can use nettle tea to rinse your hair after washing,
i use plain hoop shampoo, that helps too,
I’m not bald, i have a thin hair,
and i’m close to 40
after a year of using it have no side effects
Well my “Provillus for Men” arrived today, so I will now be making the switch over from Proscar (which worked very well) to Provillus, and I’ll let you know what happens.
All the people claiming Provillus works in above are the same people who put up those bogus sites! Buyer Beware!!!
I was almost going to order rovillus, but after reading all the comments, I am really confused. I bought a laser hair comb. Do anyone now if laser comb work for hair growth. And what about the hair transplant?
Please let me know
Hey Joe,
I don’t understand why you would claim that all the guys who are posting on here are owners of the product. I think comments like that are uncalled for. As I have started previously the admins have the ability to check who is who and where they are commenting from.
I’d suggest they do that as this blog post is becoming to be ridiculous.
My 2 cents.
Jason
I have been using Provillus for 2.5 months now and I have actually seen some results. I can see the new hairs growing. I can tell they’re new because they’re shorter than the others and my hair feels different somehow. This product does work. I had tried a similar product a few years ago called “Aloette Radiance” and they were a dietary supplement as well. Their main pitch wasn’t the fact that it might regrow hair, it was for healthy looking skin and nails etc.
Even if this product doesn’t regrow hair… it won’t hurt you to try it! The least it will do is make your skin and hair look healthy if it doesn’t grow hair back.
There is also a product called “Biofen” which claims it might regrow some hair. The ingredients are similar to that in Provillus. I bought a bottle of Biofen for a backup in case my Provillus shipments are late or something.
I’d also like to quickly comment on the ‘return policy’ posts I’ve seen here. When I ordered Provillus, i only ordered a 2 month supply. After the 2 months, i actually saw results like I said. I then ordered a 4 month supply. The shipment got lost or hung up in Customs or something (i live in Toronto by the way). I emailed them stating that i hadn’t received my order. After a few days, they reshipped my order at no charge. I ended up receiving both orders on the same day! 8 bottles for the price of 4! Can you beat that?
Anyway, i agree with the other posts here stating DONT KNOCK IT TILL YOU TRY IT.
PS: JOE, if you say I work for Provillus or that i’m affiliated with them, we will all know for sure you’re lying! I’m a sys admin living in Toronto and have absolutely no affiliation with Provillus at all.
Look people. If you all seriously think that the above people “praising” the product aren’t somehow affiliated with the company, then you are being naive.
I, for one, will not purchase the product. Take a deep breath, realize the doctor’s response, and do not purchase the product.
I’ve been visiting a hair specialist, and there’s a reason why she hasn’t mentioned this AT ALL.
I am not “praising” it. I could not care less if you or anyone in the world buys it. It’s completely up to you and will never affect me in any way what-so-ever. I’m just telling my story that i have seen results with it and that’s not a lie.
She hasn’t mentioned this, cos she wants you to spend your money in her practice, not on some diet supplements :P.
Honestly, i could not care less if you or any of you try provillus. It’s entirely up to you and it makes absolutely no difference to me :)
I wonder?
The simplest explanation is usually correct. So let’s look at the two possibilities here.
1) Provillus is a scam.
2) Provillus really works, but it has been completely ignored by the news media and all medical professionals because they want to watch people go bald and laugh at them. It’s a huge conspiracy.
Which is the simpler explanation?
I am not quite sure who’s telling the truth. Between the drug companies and the the internet scammer, I am not quite sure who’s worse. Since I am confused I will not purchase Provillus. My lost.
Hi, after reading all the comments about this product (Provillus) i can not say what i really want to do. i do not want to waste my money and i do not want to lose my hair. I have no advise i just want something that works. That is all.
It works for my mom. And I’ll give it a try. Sucks being a thinned woman.
Sadbaldguy really makes a point. I guess alot of us are so desperate for a cure that we will accept anything. If you’re worried about how baldness affects your appearance, someone earlier in this post said it rite. Save your money and invest in other methods to enhance your appeareance: ie: work out and have a nice body, buy nicer clothes, get a nicer car even!
Don’t let baldness reduces your chances of getting laid. Improve on other areas to offset your baldness!
I’ve heard from a friend of mine that pilfood is very good but not sure if the hair regrowth remains after you stop taking the pill.
so “ridiculous”, what has your hair spcialist told you then?
i know i’ve been using provillus for a month or 2 now and i can’t tell if it’s gotten worse or better. i think i see new hairs but i’m not sure yet.
Tried Procerin and Provillus one year apart with mixed results. Both caused a temporary reduction in fallout in the first 120 days with a noticeable spread of vellus hairs at the four month point. None had any affect at arresting my receding hairline. At the six month point, I felt like I was back at ground zero with no real gains. The vellus hairs started to evaporate and never showed any signs of thickening. Did experience some insomnia and some mild sexual side effects which I attribute to the Saw Palmetto. Just fyi, I am an athlete and I was using 5% Minox for a couple of years and did experience some heart palps from time-to-time, so be careful with that. Minox did not regrow hair for me, but did arrest hair loss and had noticeable improvement in thickness and hair length. On the herbals, my recommendation is SAVE YOUR MONEY. I’ve tried a lot of stuff and they have all been shiite. Something to think about. Have you ever known anyone who was suffering from hairloss who made a reversal who did not have a transplant? Beware of any claims that boast of recovery before the four month point since that is contrary to the natural hair cycle. I am currently trying the amazinglaserbrush (cheaper alternative), so I will post my results sometime in May. Sorry for the choppy thoughts as my coffee hasn’t kicked in. Cheers!
This product is a scam. I don’t have to try it in order to conclude this. Why would anyone shell out $10,000 for a Bosley hair transplant if they can take this “miracle” natural pill. Everyone in the world would be taking this product. Beware of these scams people. They prey on you because they know you’re desperate for hope and a simplistic fix. FDA approved does not mean it’s effective….it means it’s not dangerous to you.
I am going to buy it today (Jan 22, 08) and will tell you what the progress is.
wow we have alot of anger here on both sides…well here goes…i am 39, male, i play bass in a cover rock band(and always wear my baseball hat backwards on stage cuz my hair isnt what i would like it to be)…just bought a 6 month supply of provillus and have been taking it about 10 days….i have a good paying day job so i figure the 179.00 for the provillus will either get me some thicker hair, or i just spent a days worth of salary and got ripped off…its worth it for me, just in case. i realize the balding tony and honest michael websites are bullshit but i hope the stuff actually can block DHT and do something for me…why not??? i tried minoxidil in the past, used it for a few weeks until the itching became so unbearable i was letting my fingernails grow just to itch my scalp more….i also got a hair transplant from bosley, which worked, but only for the front of my head….my balding area is in the crown, and after ive tried provillus for about 10 more weeks or so, i will update you, using this same screenname….if its bs i will let you all know!
oh yea p.s….i am going balls out on this one….i stopped smoking, moderated my alcohol, drink only water,oj,milk or herbal tea, eat healthy, do aerobics, use progaine shampoo (which has no rogaine in it), and have gone completely herbal on just about everything i buy….so if in 3 months or so i see nothing, then i GUARANTEE provillus is a scam…..chk back i will tell yous….scott-pennsylvania
Metalbouy, you rock. ;)
Sounds like an awesome plan, and I’m sure you will see some positive effect. It seems the more aggressive the problem the less can be expected, but in any case you will probably see less fallout and some fine hairs start soon.
What you should make sure you do right away is look very closely and take a mental note as to how many small fine hairs you have, and watch for a change on that level first. If you don’t take an “inventory” now you may not realize what it’s doing till much later.
One should note about the negative comments above; they almost never say it did nothing, and they are almost all directed to their corporate strategy. So, while I was skeptical at first, and still am, you should be encouraged by all of the positive posts here.
So good luck. I’m 1.5 mo’s in and quite happy.
Dave
I have bipolar… is provillus for women safe to take?
I just wanted to let everyone know that this “guy” Dave is full if SHxx! I just got through using a six month supply of Provillus religiously (pills and minoxidil morning and night) and I can very honestly say that they did not help! In truth, I have lost hair since switching to Provillus from a different hair loss product which also wasn’t working.
For the first couple of months my head was almost unbearably itchy. Another side effect that you will get with continued use is scalp acne. Yeah, I’m talking deep, inflamed scalp pimples. This alone should be enought to keep you from using it!!! Brad (post #46) has some good advice. I think we should all focus on our strongest traits. Hair loss sucks!
Post 80 TRANSLATION:
“The product I was using before didn’t work for me,
Provillus didn’t work for me, therefor Provillus is a scam.”
Look, nothing works for you. Blame your parents.
See Post 57 by someone else. I couldn’t say it better myself.
It’s funny how Dave is constantly watching this blog and reporting something positive or defending Provillus as soon as someone talks bad about Provillus.
By the way Dave, you mention in blog 71:
“It seems others have validated this combination since several products are now sold as combinations (pill and topical solution) like I am doing, including Provillus.”
I orderd provillus but only got the pills. You mentioned that they have topical solution? Where is that?
I’ve been using provillus for 6 months now and have seen little improvements. This Sh*t is terrible!
I bought Provillus about 6 weeks back probably in desperation more than anything. I naively saw a bunch of positive webpages and blogs and thought it may be worth a shot.
Shortly after ordering the stuff I found some negative feedback with accusations of scams etc. Felt like a total dick as I really didn’t think I was the kind of guy to fall for that kind of thing being a reasonably balanced and sceptical person by nature….
Anyway, I am so glad I did. After 6 weeks I am seeing some incredibly positive results. My hair is so thick and healthy and feels completely different than prior to use. It is early days yet so we’ll see but I am genuinely pleased if not somewhat suprised with the results.
I do agree that Provillus markets aggresively and even somewhat decietfully and from what I’m hearing the “return policy” is a total scam which brings me mixed emotions giving a positive endorsement on such a company but the fact is it is working for me. My hair loss is at the early stages and I don’t necessarily think it would work for everyone but I am seeing positive results.
You can be sceptical about this post. I would indeed encourage a certain amount of healthy sceptisism! I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything. I just felt the need to post this in light of my results and seeing many people who have not even tried the product dismissing it as a scam. I think the Ultra Herbal company are not entirely genuine in their dealings but I for me the actual product has been good so far. Will update further in months to come.
Cheers
*note to blog host.Australian IP address.
hi! i’m 19 and the hair in front of my head is thinning. i tried biohairs which consists of minoxidil for 5 months then generic 5% minoxidil for 4 months. i can say the generic minox worked for me better but then the stupid barber acidentally shaved a part of my head so i had to have all of it shaved. anyways, i stopped using minoxidil and currently using a coconut milk shampoo with aloe vera daily(i’m going natural!) oh, i also used the shampoo together with the 5% minox. i live in the philippines and i want to try out this product i’m gonna tell my mom once she gets home :)
OTQ: does protein help in making hair healthY? or not? i’m also into lifestyle modification: eating healthy and increased oral fluid (water) intake. i also take protein supplements since i work out (to have my muscles compensate for my hair) :)
:BUMP:
i just saw toppik a few seconds ago and i wanna try it since my hair isn’t bald.. just thin
:)
Well, I’ve just read throught this page and such a mix of comments has left me not knowing what to think about Provillus. I have been using the product along with Minoxidil for just under a month now so further usage is required to validate if it actually does work for me….but in my opinion it’s either save my money and lose my hair OR spend my money and try to find something that works for me …so I shall be continuing with it in the meantime! I have hope!

ok here i go —i just read thru EVERY-COMMENT and fist off id like 2 say —DAVE seems like a scammer, ??? and for the Balding Tony, TrustMichael, and Honest Jonathan these sites are sales pitches for the company (I THINK THATS EASY 2 SEE) — as for the COMPANY they do seem SHADY as well as there return policy is garbage( DO THE RESEARCH) … .. there are so many mixed comments about this product im not sure what 2 do really id love 2 try something that works 4 me – im 20 and i have never tried any hair product– this one seemed -at first- 2 be worth trying ??! i know every body has there own results so i understand if some one says it didnt work very well for them …. BUT really POEPLE we all have the SAME PROBLEM so lets be HONEST and help each other ,NOT JUST CONFUSE every body —- I REALLY WANT 2 TRY THIS OR AT LEAST SOMETHING … so IF ANY BODY READS THIS PLEASE COMMENT BACK ASAP !!!! if you have a information 2 help me and others …?
So because I was helpfull, you now label me a scammer.
Well, now nobody wants to help you.
Maybe because if they do they’ll be labelled a scammer too.
Take back what you called me and I’ll give you my honest opinion.
And skip the capital letters. You don’t know how to use them.
I am 22 and have a little bit of a receding hair line. I really don’t want to lose a bunch of hair and would like to get my old one back. I have read the whole site context and don’t know what to believe but I might just try it for 6 months anyways. But where do you order it from. on their direct site it says it only comes with pills but I thought there was a syrum too. A lil’ help please
Thanks
I have tried the product for 10 days now(just the pills since the lotion never arrived). I started to get shortness of breath and tightened chest and it became very uncomfortable to breath so I went online and started to research the side effects about Provillus. Of course there are not many reported (just a few) since there has not been any medical research done for this product so I researched the side effects of Palmetto and this is what I found:
The most common complaints involve the stomach and intestines, and include stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, bad breath, constipation, or diarrhea. Similarly, reports of headache, dizziness, insomnia, depression, breathing difficulties, muscle pain, high blood pressure, chest pain, abnormal heart rhythm, and heart disease have also been reported.
All I have to say is this: what is more important to you? Your looks or your health. Once you know that, then you know how to decide wither Provillus is for you or not. And adding to that, nothing even guarantees that Provillus does work. I wish there was a better way for governments to monitor the “magic potions†these companies profit from on the depression of general public and punish them for lying.
Bee, maybe you should call them and ask what the heck is going on. Because on one website it clearly shows the lotion and you take the link directly off that site and it disappears. But if for some reason they don’t sell the lotion then you can always buy Rogaine off EBay for pretty cheap.
But it depends what you wanna do. Personally, over the years, I always started with one thing at a time to see what it did. If you start with two you won’t know which one works.
So, you have to decide which you prefer, to take the pills or apply the lotion. If you like the idea of the lotion then just go to EBay and order some Rogaine. If you prefer the pills then you know where they are.
Again, I’m not trying to push anyone one way or the other. I’m just letting you know what I did, and if Provillus works for me.
If you want to see more info on a variety of products and like a lot of opinions and advice, feel free to check out that site I posted in my post #87. Those guys know a lot more about this than me. All I know is what’s working for me.
Dave
I am sending the stuff back since I have had dizziness, trouble breathing, and tightend chest. It is not worth it for me to feel bad to maybe have more hair. Thanks for the info though.
Gents,
I am from Saudi Arabia. I read through the Provillus website and purchased 6 bottles which did not reach me. I wrote to them and requested a re-shipment with a traking number to follow the shipment after they claimed they sent the 1st shipment. They re-shipped the goods but did not give me a traking number. The second shipment did not reach me too! I requested a full refund and they quickly refunded all my money after deducting the shipment fees. After a few months, I received an e-meil from them stating that someone has received the two shipments and gave me his phone number and that I am free to collect the shipments to try them at no cost to me. I phoned the guy who turned out ot be a distant relative and discovered that Ultra Herbal mis-printed my PO Box number. Anyway, I received 12 bottles for free and used 9 of them so far and I can’t say there was any progress what so ever. I am lucky that I got my money back and would agree that if the stuff is not certified by a recognized association like FDA or similar, then the stuff is just a Bull’s S.
Cheers,
Ali
Hi I’ve been using provillus for approximately 2 years now and have to admit that my hair has not grown back at all. But what it did do was thicken up the existing hair I have. I have no more thin patches and can pass for a man who has not experienced hair loss yet. I think the trick is to take the stuff in the earlier stages of hair loss! If taking provillus means keeping baldness at bay until something cheaper and more permanent is avaliable, then so be it.
Dave,
Rogaine says it wont regrow at the receding hair line. is there anything that does?
This is all very confusing & frustrating. I figure there are different reasons for people going bald. They say out of 5 men, one will keep his hair for life, another will go bald very quickly and the remaining 3 will gradually go bald over the course of their life. It is what it is boys….
I’m 43 and only recently have I experienced a sudden and intense thinnning & recession on my crown & forehead. I make great money and figure what-the-heck, perhaps I’ll be one of the people who experience results. I’ve heard time and again that DHT is the reason hair dies….so we’ll see. I’m expecting & hoping for some improvments….but in all I expect at best it’ll just stave-off some hair loss for another decade or so.
Time will tell, the only thing for certain is I’ll be out a few bucks. If this is a scam, I wish all the worst karma on the schiesters pushing it….what comes around goes around, so….whatever.
Another story.
Im not a native english speaking person, so plz try not to be annoyed by my spelling , i´m not a good speller even in my native language
Funny reading this blog. first of, positive to finally find a place where indeed it seems to be real people debating…but who knows? you could all be good Dave bad Dave all in one. I have bought the 6 month supply, and ofcource felt like a dumbass when I read about them being hustlers. I havn´t been in to this hairloss fetish long and still have some naive faith. My situation is this: I´m in my late 30´ties. 7 years ago I discovered that my hair was thining and have done nothing to this day. I still have my hair, meaning no bald spots, but on top it is not as rich looking as before. So I´m thinking I´m loosing it quite slowly. What botheres me the most about this ordeal is the mindgames I play on myself: constantly looking in the mirror to see deteriation, wearing all kind of lameass headgear, going to the bathroom everytime I come into a new place to check if the remains are in place, getting paranoid of peoples looks; why did she/he look at my hair, im sure they noticed.. oh but they did!, being aware where the bright lights in the room are, and moving out of them…wft! I kina wish someone would invent a product that would just take it all off. You know…so I didn´t have to bother with this twilight state anymore. So that it would be obvious to all; this guy is bald, has no hair..none, so be it!. So I can just leave it behind and get on with it. I am aware that hairloss is nothing but an extremely narcasistic matter and I wish I could rise above it but my brain is going nuts and I keep findig myself in this limbo state where I keep trying to hide it, and its killing me. Therefore I thought I´d give it a go. I looked very briefly into it on the web, and what I being told is this: dht kills the hair, so get stuff that keeps dht at a minimum. I bought this shampoo kit called nioxin and have tried it for a few days, to early to tell ofcource, and I bought, as I mentioned, the provillius 6 month supply, and thought it´ll be a combo: take some stuff internally and put some other stuff on top of the head and let the two be the rock and the hard place so to speak. Anyways I mostly need a place to record my “progress” and thought this forum would be appropiate. Any comment would ofcource be very appriciated.
I’ve read basically this entire blog and it seems fairly interesting. There seems to be quite a few people that brand provillus as a scam simply because it did not work in each of their specific cases. The refund issue seems to be a point of contention. What I want to know is why in hell’s name is there different versions of its website? I go to provillus.com by typing it myself and I see a product that makes no mention of a topical solution or even having monoxidil (excuse spelling)in it at all! More strange is the fact that if you go to buyprovillus.com (a link posted by one of the bloggers) then it takes you to a virtually identical website with a similar offer BUT this one prominently displays the topical solution and lists monoxidil as first ingredient describing it as the only FDA approved drug for hairloss. I think I’m a fairly objective person in how I approach things, but to me this is very sketchy. How can this company possibly state the importance of monoxidil and then, on another slightly different version of the website, not even list in the ingredients panel AT ALL? It doesn’t add up – there’s a chance it works for some but the company is obviously not putting their best foot forward with this one.
DavidJ, I have wondered the same thing.
I think what they’re doing is linking up with Minoxidol to make their FDA claims, but they drop it when nobody’s looking, and only provide their pills. Who knows, maybe there’s more money in the pills.
Dave
Dave, (or anyone else who tried provillus)
Is there any proof you can show us, maybe like before and after pictures, or anything that can prove that product at least worked for you?
Hi Dan.
I’m sorry, but I don’t have any before pics. Proscar was working quite well for me so I really didn’t expect an improvement, I only hoped my gains would not be lost.
If I could take a picture that would show the smaller hairs clearly, and if this site would allow pictures, I might do that, but I tried to take a picture and it didn’t turn out well enough.
But, this thread is not about me. I would rather hear from other users than post myself. Testimonials from others, one way or the other, are more important. Although I am already making my own conclusions about the product. So far, so good. But in a few months who knows?
But there are other links I have found which include comments from other users of Saw Palmetto, so if you want those let me know.
Dave
I saw baldtony and ordered provillus two and a half months ago. I did not receive the product yet and the customer service had no response. Scam
If you want to put your photos so people can see, you can use a free site like Photobucket.com or Imageshack.us to host your photos and then post the links here.
Hi again, I messaged a few weeks ago saying that I had been trying a combo of minoxidil and provillus to regrow my thinning hair, and stated that further usage would be required to see results…. Well, I think it’s working. I had a thinning patch on the crown of my head and the very centre of this patch was bald! ..Now, the same area has hair over it, not thick or long hair, yet, but hair non-the-less. The patch, which always made me self concious and parranoid is now much less obvious so I shall certainly be buying some more provillus (I only purchased 2 months worth you see) to continue growing these new hairs. If your thinking of trying Provillus, I would say buy 2 months worth first to see if it works for you and then continue with it if you see results. It clearly doesnt work for everybody, which is a shame but if you don’t try, you won’t know if it can help you!
I will report back in a few weeks.
C’mon people, just help us balding people out, if we all have the same problem, shouldn’t we help each other out?Just say whether PROVILLUS works, i was considering on buying it, but now I’m more confused than ever before. I’m just 18, I should be out partying right now, but who would like to go out with one balding guy when there are thousands of guys with good hair. Just help me out. Does anyone TRULY know if Provillus works???
I read that when you begin taking Rogaine, you lose more hair than usual before it starts to work. Has anyone heard this or experienced this with Provillus?
I have been on Provillus the pill for a month. There is not much change in my hair shedding rate. But I find it hard to sleep at night — insomnia is one of the known possible side effects of SP. Switching to taking the pill in the morning and afternoon. One significant change after Provillus is in my acne. I used incessantly to have acne around and under my eyebrows which has now completely disappeared! DHT causes acne…so there may actually be something to this. Will report back if I see any significant change.
Dave, did you have any side effects from Provillus?
Keep up the posting guys!!
I tried the Provillus capsules for months and my hair loss only worsened.
I just started a new regimine today. 500 Mg. of Bio Curcumin daily. Along with Provillus… It cant hurt….400 mg of Green Tea extract… and omega fish oil… I also have a good site to bookmark and learn information on the scientific process behind mpb and different things that inhibit different aspects of it… You can familiarize yourself with different names and supplements. Study them, research them. Memorize the names of every enzyme and reductate. Figure it out on your own. The internet has an endless amount of information. just look it up! type in what supplement your curious about and add clinical studies behind it……. Learn!
Hello all, I have read this entire blog, and now have to share my story. I am about to be 26, and started loosing my hair about 4 years ago. The firts thing I ever tried was a hairloss clinic. I paid about $5,000 for a 6 month treatment of sitting under a laser twice a week, and I was given shampoo, herbal pills, finasteride, and a 5% minoxidil topical solution. I was told that once I finished my treatment, I would only need to continue to take 1 pill a day of finasteride, and that would keep all of my hair. When I started the treatment at first my hair started to fall out way more dramatic than before, but I was told this was normal and continued the treatment. At the end of the six months, my hair did look a lot better, but I noticed a bad sexual side effect. I quickly found out that it was the finasteride causing this, and discontinued taking the pill. I kept using the topical and the shampoo, and that seemed to work, until one day when I picked up my refill and saw that the topical had changed from a clear liquid to a black liquid. I was told that they had only added liquorish to the formula, but when I began using it, I started to loose my hair rapidly. I discontinued everything, and six months later decided to buy provillus. I bought provillus because the topical looked very similar to the one from the hair clinic (prior to them adding liquorish). I started using the topical but did not care to take the pills because the ingredients are similar to the ones from the clinic, and I do not think they worked for me. After using the topical for the first month, my hair was falling out like crazy. I did not panic because the same thing had happened when I started the program at the clinic. Anyhow, I am now almost done with the forth bottle, and I am quite happy. My hair is falling out considerably less, and it appears to be fuller. My only concern now, is what I am hearing that people are only getting the pills with their orders. I am going to order the six month supply, but I will return if I do not get the topical. Another thing I might get soon is a laser comb. I cannot say that the lasers at the clinic were the reason for my hair growth, but I think it is worth the $500 or so. Anyhow, to sum it all up, provillus (the topical, not the pills) seem to be working for me.
Thank you very much for your anwser Dave, I will probably try Provillus but is credit card or any kind of card the only payment? I don’t want to bug my parents to let me borrow their credit card, I’m not really into talking about this kind of thing guy. I do have the money though. Thank you
Just ordered 2 month supply of Provillus I will keep you posted on all personal effects. Hopefully, I will bring good news of density, retention, and growth. Good luck to all

The story of Dave
(just to be clear I am referring to the Dave that has made multiple posts)
It’s interesting to see his progression through this blogs life span so far. At first he introduces himself as a speculative victim of baldness. He carries on by creating a testimonial for other products he has tried and also claims there effectiveness. So why would he blatantly support another product if he was compromised by Provillus. This is simple, he wants to gain our trust and vanish any suspicions in the fundamental stages of his diversion. Then slowly and steadily the poison seeps out of him. He then commits an act which simultaneously blows his cover and completely discredits his position. He posts a like to Provillus! He questions skepticism with one main point: Did you try it? This is a condensed version of the way he phrases it. At this stage in one might ask himself (you the reader) : Did I try it (Provillus)? The answer probably being no. This is meant to encourage you to do your own research on the product by purchasing it which would provide the most honest results possible. But this comes at cost which varies depending on how much of the product you purchase. And while finding the only true solution to the question of effectiveness the company sells another product and continues the dissemination of dubious remedies. Another way of putting it is: If we all do our own research and buy a bottle we are just fueling their fire to continue the scam and when one scams life is spent then they will fabricant another one and we will all buy into to it until another ones comes along. It’s a sick vicious cycle and our society has conditioned us for it. Hair loss treatments along with breast enhancers, penis enlargers and so on are among the most deceptive and all typically come from the same company. I could go on about this forever but I won’t. My point is don’t give your money to someone you don’t trust because one way or another it’s going to bite you in the ass; it will just be a different disguise. It is our moral obligation not to support this sort of deception and when a product that truly works is release we will all know it. Also, question everything. For instance, how do you know Im not Provillus’ competition? Maybe Provillus really does have the magic solution and everyone else, including myself is merely out to discredit them in fear of loss in business. This sounds like something Dave might say in the future when he presents the grand conspiracy and the fall of Porvillus in a last effort to repair the stinking ship. Maybe or maybe not. Who the hell knows anything. I say we quit caring. If it were only that easy… I’m sorry Dave if you are just an average joe but I can’t help but be suspicious.
p.s. I came to this conclusion after buying two bottles. Then I started connecting the dots.
I just bought this stuff (not in mail yet). I am not really thinning too bad at all but I think I might be just starting and I’m almost 26 and most males in my family went bald so I’m doing a pre-emptive strike so to speak. Anyways, I have a serious gf so I don’t care about “getting any” I just don’t want to see myself as old I guess. Ok enough of my feelings, lol. Quite a few of these posts see like scammers, notably posts # 47 – 50 all within a few days, all “born and raised” somewhere that you can “check their IP address” and have similar careers…weird. Anyway, I know nothing is a miracle…I mean who are we trying to kid. I just want to know if Provillus has worked even a little for anyone…honestly. I don’t care about re-growth, I just want to delay thinning until the “cure” comes…lol. Seriously though, I’ve never tried anything else. I’m sure this product isn’t too legit to quit but maybe it works a little? It’s $180, it’s not the end of the world if it doesn’t work…but I’d like to believe. If you’re a real user of this product please respond and if you don’t mind posting your email to validate that you are a real person like me…cool, if not, oh well…I will hope you’re not lying.
Salty….you’re nuts.
I am just an average joe, and I’m not going to bother responding to your work of fiction. You bought two bottles….now we’ll see if you’re big enough to admit if it works.
TJ, I think you mean you were going to start a Provillus-Rogaine combination, didn’t you? Normally people combine one internal with one topical treatment. What you said sounds like taking two of the same things. It may work, but then you won’t know which one did it.
I’m sorry if I’ve posted too much. I have this page saved and I find it interesting to check every day. And I can’t help but respond to lies, because I may not have tried the product if I’d read them.
If people would kindly leave me off their comments, and simply post about their experience, and that’s the key word here…”experience”…then you would hear almost nothing from me. After all, I’m only one example.
But when someone like Help Me writes looking for help, why no help from you Salty? Or anyone else?
Hi folks;
I just found this blog and expected to see a variety of posts. I think that the least common denominator we share is anger and some sense of self-diminshment at the “Dagger of DHT” ! We are brothers of the bald and voice our anger at the failure of the current state of “therapy” for hair loss. We are also guardedly hopeful at any positive results and often get sucked in and duped by the hairsute con artists out there!
I have a ton of experiences going back 30 years on this and I’ll have to sort it all out and jump back in to share.
We’re in this together!
I bought provillus 4 months back ..used it regularly for first 3 months and didnt find even little improvement ….however i am surprised people saying that it did work in initial 2 weeks itself …Going to claim refund now….Personally i dont recommend this…
i tried procerin before trying provillus and atleast procerin was helping me in maintaining good digestive system …donno how :) ..i never had acidity or morning trouble ;) ..but this provillus sucks man!
Wish i saw this site before i bought provillus.Its too late now,so i might as well go through with the treatment and see it works.I do notice tiny fuzz like hairs after two months.Ill let you know after the six months in june if it really made a difference.
I called the Provillus number found on their website, it seems very real to be a scam, the operator seemed nice, I asked her about the Provillus product and she said that they had it, but didn’t have the lotion or whaterver other bottle comes with it, she said it would come in in a few weeks, but I can’t wait so i’ll order it tomorrow, they said they accept Money Orders, I’ll call and ask for their return policy so I don’t get any surprices if I return it, but I’ll keep hope that it will work.I’ll post results once I get it.
Hey guys, my fellow disgruntled balding buddies.. Real quick, Dave I appreciate your honest opinions, ignore the elaborate works of fiction and conspiracy theories presented above. I just got the goods today (Provillus), day 1 is tomorrow. Obviously, it will be several weeks before I see any growth/retention/thickening if it at all. I wil report my observations, no fluff, and if I see negative effects or nothing I will report these data as well. Good luck to all and I will be back in a few weeks with hopefully good news.

posts #75 and #76 are mine and i am back 1 month later…
the good – the existing hairs i have are thicker…dont know how this can be after only less than 2 months on the pills, but it is true….i see hundreds of little white hairs where there was just scalp (thin, lifeless white almost see thru hairs but i assume after years of balding, it will take some time to reverse the decline so i am happy with the growth). i have no sexual side effects whatsoever. i have no chest pain or other side effects except what i will tell you in the next paragraph.
the bad – i have gained weight in my face since taking the pills which isnt cool, and i dont know if its from the pills or just the fact i dont hit the gym as much as i used to. i have slightly (+5) higher blood pressure now than i did before i started. i also have to shave more, trim my chest hair more often, and the hair on my eyebrows has gotten so thick i have to hit them now as before i only used to do the shaving maintenance about half as i do now. these pills arent ‘intelligent’ meaning the hair thickening/faster growth rate isnt only on your head. ive never had a 5 oclock shadow the same day i shaved earlier in the day but i do now.
i will continue the pills, as the hair on my head does overall look healthier in just under 2 months now…ill post again next month.
Im getting similar results. Im getting thicker hair throughout my whole body. Scalp included…. I’ll take it!
has anyone ever messed around with emu oil? I read an arcticle on its effects on frontal hair growth…
I am trying provillus and have just finished the first bottle of pills, 5 bottles to go. I have not noticed anything as of yet. I have taken pics of my bald spot “not easy to do by yourself..lol”…….If I have positive results when I have used then entire 6 month supply I will make the before and after pics available. If I have nothing good to say about it I will post that as well. Todays date is March 8 2008!
Just started last week. Very interested to see if it works
Ok, i have posted a few times on here now as I am using a combination of minoxidil and provillus. It is working well for me. The bald spot on top of my head is now completely covered in new hairs, which are improving every week. I only bought the two months supply to start with to test if I saw any results and I was so pleased that I recently bought a further four months supply. I would recommend using combinations for the best results, I thik the provillus is growing the new hair and the minoxidil is helping it along. Its not easy having to spend money on treatment every few months, in fact, its a damn right pain in the arse but if its giving me the results I have been searching for, why not… afterall, its only money!! I would rather pay the money and feel confident than not spend it and feel miserable about the way I look! Good luck guys
Hi,
Been using Provillus for almost 2 months.
One thing for sure, my hair look thicker and healthier.
In the first month I’ve noticed baby discolored hair growing, but not enough to see the difference…I will take pics of my scalp after 3 months and decide if it worth to buy another shipment…
I would like to ask to the succesful users: After how long did you see tangible changes?
tori
I started taking Provillus today (March 11, 2008). Will let ppl know how it’s going in a month’s time. Hopefully it works for me
hey Mike, is it working for you? I’m planning on buying it tomorrow. And still i’m doubtful. Anybody have BEFORE and AFTER pics?
i found provillus does not work and i have been taking it for over a year now! i will not be making another order!
the problem is, you want to believe its making a difference because your desperate for some kind of positive results, otherwise you wouldnt be scurring the net looking for a miracle cure! trust me i gave this product a fair crack of the whip and it didnt work. i ended up shaving my hair in with a tight blade cause theres nothing worse than trying to cover it up! it took a couple of weeks to get used to it but now im more comfortable and plased with my new look! theres plenty of cool guys with a skinhead u know!
Hi Everyone,
I almost burst in tears when I came across this blog, don’t know why maybe a mixed emotions. What if it won’t work I felt like I was ripped off big time. Because I bought it good for sim months with other supplements. The reason is,I read so many good things about. However, it’s no use crying over spilt milk. I will try to use it and I keep you posted with the progress…Let’s be optimistic! Cheers
well, if it can’t regrow hair, it should at least stop it from falling or make it thicker. It should have different effects on different people because not everyone is going bald from the same problem. And your age plays a big role too.
Honestly you are probably better off going to a GNC or a Vitamin World and buying a good multi intended for men. The ingredients are similar and unlike provillus you know the stuff isnt made in someones basement with unknown shit going inside your body.
well how would you know those vitamins aren’t made in someone’s basement. They could of just gotten it FDA approved and stocked in any store.
Hi guys… let me address your concerns about the FDA and regulations. The FDA does not regulate Provillus any more or less than any vitamin or supplement found in GNC, Vitamin World, Walgreens, CVS, and Safeway etc… The only products FDA regulated will have undergone extensive research both in vitro and in vivo that is in the lab and in animal models and eventually human trials. It takes years for a product to be established as FDA approved and this is not conducive to mass marketing and quick-turnover products, thus huge pharmaceutical companies dominate the scene and can afford the years of research (with some huge payoffs following FDA approval). Again this is not to say that all over the counter (OTC) products are not effective or have fake ingredients. All this states is that the potency, dosage, and efficacy has not been established (based on extensive research procedures stated above) thus daily percentages are not available on labels. You should in general be getting what you see stated on the label, if this was not the case and harmful ingredients were being distributed, believe me there would be accountability. I hope this addresses some of your concerns.

Hi guys,
I’ve started using the supplements a couple a days ago…and I’m not pretty sure if this would work, it’s really early to say. Though, I’m very optimistic about it…I’ll try using it after I’m done with the supplements hehehe. Before I had used another tradename of rogaine with minoxidil and it really works for me after just a month I do see small hairs growing on the balding areas of my scalp…however, the downside is, you really can’t help the itchiness so I decided to quit using it. You can’t keep on running your fingers all over your head most of the time. So it came to a point where some of my colleagues at work asked me if threre’s something wrong with my head I said something drop on my head that’s why I’m wiping it. I always see the bright side of it, not having hair is no worst than a handicap. The reason why I’m trying all the possible products available in the market is to know if there will be something that would work for me and not to regret later that I’ve never tried them. Who knows it might work for you! right? Anyhow, I’m getting use to my look it been more than 2 years. I always shave my hair…and at one point I asked my friends if I look worst without hair compared to the way I used to look like, and guess what some would say they prefer my look without hair, looks neat and clean…Guys, if by chance nothing works out…I think it’s better to invest on something else just like what others said here for the betterment. People will like you for what you are and being true to yourself not because you have thick hair on your head…’m not saying that it doesn’t have a bearing…but guess what? over time it will come to pass. So in conclusion…try something that you would think would work as long as you don’t jeopardize your health in anyway. Make your choice! Cheers!
hi all..kaminoki from japan…i’ve been using provillus for 3 weeks and 5 days now and started using it when I was in US for a month vacation(just ordered 4 months supply)…well one thing for sure I feel that my hair is thickening and I noticed the my falling hair stops (shower and combing)..but will still wait for at least 3 months for the full results.
i have been using provillus for a little over 2 months now. at about the 6 week mark, i shed a lot of hair. it was scary. but now it has slowed down to a minimum. my hair feels thicker but not any denser. will report back at the 3 month mark.
good luck everyone.
Hello All. I received my Provillus yesterday. A 6 month supply. I’m 45 (soon to be 46)…..I’ll keep posting here as the months go by…wish me luck!
Hair4Life, same here. I was bursting at the seams and then wondered what happened. But it seems to be coming back again. I think this is why they say to judge after 6 months not 3.
I have been using Provillus for just over a month. No noticeable results as yet, no side effects, but also no results. Hopefully I will see something positive this month. Good luck all

Maximus: how many days did the side remains after you stopped using provillus? Coz I’ve been on them for more month now and started to get headache and dizziness. I has been only one day since I’ve stopped them. I need to know, since the headaches and dizziness are preventing me from studyin. I’m a graduate student and it’s the end of the term. I’ve lost of work to do, papers to wite and I cannot focuse :-( Can you suggest anything that will help me getting rid of this. I’ve been taking Tylenol and it doesn’t help :-(
Thanks in advance.
In case Maximus doesn’t respond, why not check with your local pharmacist or vitamin shop. They may have some ideas.
Regarding headaches, I recently found out that only pills with Ibuprofen in them work for me. You may wanna look for Tylenol ones that have that. Big difference.
Well I am not sure maximus still checks this site, due to his negative exerperience. Your headaches might be something else too, maybe provillus but since it has been a month maybe not. It may be signs of something more serious so if these bouts of headaches/dizziness persist or worsen after a few days you should see the doc. Additionally, the half-life of saw palmetto I believe is rather short so by the time you read this post it should be out of your system. This of course assuming saw palmetto is the drug involved. If anyone else has experienced any side effects similar or in what time frame of taking provillus let us know, very intersting. Good luck all

Hey there,
Been using provillus for about a month and a half and have seen no results…so I’m becoming a little skeptical. Have any of you gotten any detectable results in this amount of time? Should I stick with it a little longer? Should I combine it with a topical treatment of Minoxidil? Thanks for reading.
Hey Al and all.. I have no detectable results in about 5 weeks. I do use the over-priced Scalpmed (minoxidil 5% with added ingredients). I have been using the Scalpmed for over 2 years and it has helped overall, primarily with retention and thickening of existing hair, but the recent addition of Provillus thus far has shown me nothing I can notice. I am still holding out for at least 2 months, then I will revaluate the worth of Provillus. So Al, I would stick with it a little longer if you still see nothing after 8 weeks or longer pull the plug. Not all of us will see success with it and Al I fear you and me both are in that group. Good luck Al and all, again I will post any new negative or positive effects observed.

today is my fifth day using provillus, no side effects so far, and maybe those of you who have been having some bad symptoms maybe it has to do because your not taking it with food, who knows. So far there are no visible improvements but hair falling out has decreased a little bit, if I run my hand trhough my hair, only half the hairs fall out as it used to.I’m keeping my hopes up. Will keep posting.
OK…I did order this stuff a little over 6 months ago and used it all. One of the posts above said only one person has claimed it didn’t work. Well, better make that two. It simply hasn’t worked for me – no regrowth. I don’t really see that I’ve lost any more hair, but it’s not like it was falling out all the time anyway. Neither my wife nor I notice any improvement in the thickness of my hair either in the front or on top where it is very thin. I will say that when I received an email to reorder, I simply replied that I did not wish to and they responded within a day that I would not receive another shipment. So at least I didn’t have an “autoship/autobill” hassle on my hands.
I have been using this product for a little over a month now. I haven’t really seen any results yet but hopefully i will.
Have been using provillus for a whole week now, no positive results yet, and did you all know provillus isn’t really FDA approved, it just has all the requirements needed but has never been aproved. It might just be a scam! Keeping Hopes Up Though! :-D
Thanks guys for comments. It seems I’m the only female in this blog ;-) any way I’ve stopped provillus till I finish my exams and then I’ll try to go back to it again. What I notice form using provillus for a month is that hair loss decreased some how. But I’m also concerned about the hair in my face, it seems it’s getting thicker and it is inceasing :-( But I’ve not seen any hair regrow till now in my head :-(
See you guys after two weeks.
well, It’s been a whole week now, maybe i’m in too much of a rush to see new hair come out, I only ordered two months so if I really see any improvements during that time period, i’ll have to reorder before the two months end or else it will be harder for the hair to keep growing without medication.
And if it doesn’t work then im screwed, i’m not that kind of guy that looks good with their head shaved, i really had game when my hair was long and my head fully covered, now I can’t stand to see myself in the mirror. I’ll take some pics right now and see if there are any improvements in the future. Keeping hopes up for EVERYONE! :-D
post 139 is mine and here i am again 1 month later…after 3 months on the pills, the little white hairs i spoke of last month have gone nowhere. no growth, just 1/8 of an inch in length, and thats it. nothing has changed. i still have 3 more months of pills so obviously i will take them…but at the 3 month point, i really dont have anything good or bad to say of the pills…no side effects, but no hair either.
Metalbuoy, is your hair thicker though? Is is still the same as when you first took Provillus? No improvements overall?
My post is almost identical to #176.I been taking for about 3 and 1/2 months.No side effects, little hairs but no real changes so far.I replyed at #136 so i will keep giving my progress.I have a six month supply and provillus said not to expect results until 6 months anyways so i will finish the 3 other months and let you all know.
absolute scam: I bet that every positive entry in this site is posted by a provillus employee; i bet that part of their business model is a team of crooks who go and find every site about hair loss and insert some positive comments like “it worked for me…I have thicker hair than when i was 16…” B.S.!!
The will take your money and send either nothing or only a portion of what was promised; they will send you only the capsules and not the topical solution. the capsules you can find in a supplements store for $10 a bottle…
Hey, I’m a 21 year old and I’ve been taking Provillus for almost six months now. I must admit that everytime I get my hair cut it seems to come in thicker every time. That being said whenever my hair gets wet it appears to be just as thin if not thinner. I don’t shampoo everyday but I try to use conditioner. The most frustrating thing about this whole process is that whenever I apply the Midixoil solution it makes the hair in that area seem thinner. So if I apply it to the same areas over and over its hard to tell if the hair is getting any thicker. Ultimatly I know the only solution to the problem will be surgery (unless some breaking developments come out in the scienctific world) and that Provillus probably only slows the process. That being said that might be good enough for some of you, and I wouldn’t discourage buying the product (Its like 180$ for six months, if you own a computer you can most likely afford this) So give a shot, I’m results vary person to person, but I had no side effects (sexual, shortness of breath or heart papS) so there is nothing to lose, its not like it will make your hair fall out even quicker.
Scott
Can you people who have used Provillus also give your age when describing how the product worked for you?
To me it seems as if all of the people saying Provillus doesnt work are 30 and above…
Is their some corrolation to this? I am 20 years old and have a bald spot that is still somewhat small, but noticeable :(. I am trying to decide if Provillus would have a better chance at working because of my youth.
hopefully someone can comment on this…

Hi everyone… I am 26 and have multiple posts on this site. I have been using Provillus for exactly 6 weeks today and have little to no improvement thus far. I have suspected thickening, but day to day I have not observed definitive results. My main problem is receeding hair line and generally thin hair. Additionally I use, as mentioned above, ScalpMed only at night for the same reasons as posted by several other people. The minoxidil is greasy and makes you look rather ridiculous to wear to work, unless you’re the type who gels on a daily basis. Just at night I soak my entire head and massage it in then I do not shampoo in the morning, only at night. You actually get more volume by not shampooing twice a day, which can leaves the hair flat and sometimes lifeless. However, there is a fine line when you wait too long between shampooing when the hair gets very greasy. So always at night I shampoo, wait about a half hour or longer, then add the minoxidil all over, and go to bed, wake up shower no shampoo, take 2 Provillus and off with the day.
Ok back to Provillus… there are no side effects or for that matter no effects, but at least nothing detrimental. I bought a 2 month supply and I am still considering whether to order more. Good luck all I will be back with an update.
-E
anyone know what would happen if you took more than two pills a day? lets say three. I’m going to try that, maybe the capsules aren’t as strong or don’t have enough vitamins and you need more. There are no side effects so there should not be any problems.
Then why is it working for me?
JohnG, I am over 40, but what seems to matter more is how soon you start any kind of program after you notice you have a problem.
well, how long did it take for you to start working dave, little more detail bro. You know, to keep our hopes up.
I am wondering with all the fake drugs coming from china, are some of the users fallen for that scam?
Well, from what I’ve experenced and from what I’ve read above, there are two kinds of improvements.
1-New Hair Growth
2-Maintaining and thickening existing hair
Now remember, I was doing fine with Proscar, so I had a different starting point than some others here. But I saw new hair quite soon, like in a matter of a couple of weeks. Others here have reported the same. It seems to me that if you don’t see anything new after a month or two, I question if you will.
Then there are those who see only the second result, new hair. I experienced that as well, but then had a shed which I did not expect, so I had to “hang in there” to get through that. I don’t think now that I am where I was 6 weeks in, but the new hairs have started again so I’m hanging in there.
So I’ve concluded from what I’ve read here that if new hairs don’t show up within the first two months they may not. So then the only reason to keep on trying is if the second benefit is sufficient for you to stay on this longterm. But if all someone gets is #2, and if they’re not satisfied with that, then why stay on it? Look for something else ASAP.
That’s my understanding from the posts above. Maybe I’m wrong, and someone has had a different experience, but that’s the way I’ve read it.
Yeah, i came to that conclusion too, if it doesn’t work in the first month, it won’t work, I have been using it for almost two weeks now and haven’t seen any improvements at all.
And to correct what I wrote, in the first sentence of paragraph 3 I meant to call the second result “thickening hair” not “new hair” which is the first one. Sorry.
Ok,I’m sittin here at work and I’ve been readin all these posts and comments and I just wanna put some short input in…..I am 26yrs old,livin in Indianapolis,IN and I work 2 normal jobs so I have no reason 2 be a scammer,workin 4 provillus,etc…back 2 the point,I started noticin thinnin in the crown of my head at age 22 and did nuthin about it until I was 25….I took Rogaine,which took a long time 2 work but it did produce SOME regrowth…I then heard about Provillus and decided 2 try that…I’ve been usin it 4 a month now and it does work 4 me….My thinnin has filled in some and Ive noticed newgrowth…Also I use this shampoo call Zulvera and usin the 2 together has worked…4 ME…I’m not gonna vouch 4 nobody on here or take sides or company bash,I could care less…i was lookin 4 a product that worked and I found it….enough said peoples!
to answer helpme in post #177, all about me: I am a 39 year old christian male who doesnt lie, doesnt have an agenda, and i have had one hair transplant from bosley, which filled in the front of my hair but left me with a pretty big balding area in the very top of my head and a scar in my head so I cant shave my head anylonger. Provillus possibly or the fact that I changed my shampoo to progaine the very same day i started taking the pills has indeed made my existing hair thicker, but the bald spot is seemingly unchanged. Now i just have very very thick hair on the sides and back, somewhat thick hair in the front, and a horseshoe bald spot in the top of my head. Did you ever see yourself on camera from above like I do when I visit my walmart?!?! Soon I am gonna just start wearing a baseball hat and tuck my t shirt into my jogging pants and wear black socks with shorts for criminies sake unless this stuff starts to work!
Hey guys have you ever tried Verseo (verseo.com) products? I haven’t but was hoping to find some more positive comments on it before buying the product. They also have a lazer brush and other products which are much cheaper than the pills of Provillus. The comments I’ve read where all positive (too good to be true?) Just let me know if anyone knows anything about Verseo. They seem to have cool products on their website, but who knows how good they are. Thanks for your understanding and good luck!!
I ve responded on here a couple of times.Im 27 and been taking provillus for almost 4 months now.I havent seen very much improvement,but i contacted provillus and they said it takes at least 4-6 months to see any results based on how fast your body responds to it.So those that have not seen results yet try to stick with it for the full 6 months before you decide,thats what im doing.Hope this helps anyone.In two more months i will give my final decision and let you know.
I became sick with fever and swollen glands and a fat ass face the first day of trying Provillus I didnt want to believe it cause I wanted this shit to work so I kept useing it till I couldn’t take the fever any more.
I think one of the main problems is that if you don’t take the pills with food, it might upset your stomach or have some side effects. Well, i now have a little bit more than two weeks with Provillus and NOOOOOO improvements yet, I took today three pills to make it stronger, lets see what happens. I’ll start to take three every two days, maybe it needs to be stronger, well i don’t know yet what to do, oh, and I thought that if you attacked the problem earlier there would be better results but…. i don’t think so, i’m barely 18 and almost three weeks into provillus.
HelpMe what are you doing? You’re taking 3 every 2 days? The prescription is 2 per day. In two days you would have had 4. Your routine ends up with 3(?).
And while some people thought they saw results in a matter of weeks, you’re only 3 weeks in, it’s a little early to throw in the towel don’t ya think?
As for changing the prescription on your own, have a look at the link in the middle of my post #103. Those research papers determined the specific quantities of each active ingredient which would be optimal. Now you’re going to overrule that? I’m sorry, but I would stick to the prescription. But taking 3 in two days instead of 4? I’m sorry, but I just don’t follow that logic.
All the best!
Hi guys,
Been reading up on what people throught on the product and came across this blog. I have to say that i might be one of the people thats been on this products for a fair amount of time (6 Months). So i would like to share my experience with everyone.
It took me roughly 2 months before i noticed anything. Started to see small little hairs growing at the edges of my recedding hairline. This got me excited so i kept it up. During this time the rate of hair loss was alot less than before i was on provillus. At the 6 month mark i did notice my hair thicker but not neccessarily more. One important side note is that instead of going bald from front to back, i started to lose some hair on the top of my head.
I am also combinning the pill with Nioxin shampoo and conditioner.
In the end i am still uncertain wheather this product is worth the minimal growth or not.
I only did it once, but i noticed that Provillus actually hasn’t fully helped anyone, it helps in some places and not in others. I’ll just finish my two month supply and if it doesn’t wotk, screw it, im going to shave it off.
Good Luck to you all
Helpme, you may want to reread the second half of Steve’s post above you. Once you give up, it’s very hard to change your mind later.
If it doesn’t work, why not try Proscar? You can get it at a pharmacy (by prescription probably) so you don’t have that Credit Card issue, and from my experience, it can be done for like $15.00 a month.
I wanted to add that I have NO side effects from either Provillus or the Finasteride 1mg tablets I take each day. I take two Provillus when I awake with bottled water and I take the 1mg Finasteride at dinner time. I\’m 34 years old and I noticed when I was about 29 that the left frontal part of my scalp was \”thinning\” and I didn\’t realize they had anything you could take to do something about it. I let the years pass mostly because I had what I considered quite a bit of hair and it still covered up okay. As time has passed it has revealed it\’s thin look .My hair is somewhat bizarre in that I don\’t have the \” vertex\” balding and even one side of my head still seems okay to me in that ( I part my hair down the middle) I have good coverage but my other front side is clearly balding. I tried to comb my hair a bit different but I can\’t really do much with it as I have straight hair that I can\’t do too much with. I guess I\’m not ready to shave my head and if I do I can\’t decide how to ask the barber how to cut it so I\’m not totally bald but maybe so that the contrast is better. It seems like a silly thing to think or worry about but I just can\’t bring myself to give up and shave my hair. My brother is eight years older than me and has a full head of hair….it\’s not as full as it use to be but he has a balanced look where mine is not.I\’m hopeing I can maintain what I have and get some \” terminal \” hairs on that \” mid scalp \” region where it is balding more.
I have gone through this entire blog and have visited quite a few Provillus websites as well. I haven’t tried it and really I’m probably not going to but mainly because they aren’t selling the whole product. It sounds to me like Provillus does work if you use both the topical and pill together but if you try to order it they only send you the pill and not the topical. I say that because from the sounds of it, all those it hasn’t worked for seem to be those that only use Provillus(aka just the pills) and don’t have any of the topical gunk with the Minoxodil or however its spelled.
In the end however, my question is this.. How can you BUY an INCOMPLETE solution. How can they SELL and INCOMPLETE solution and still ask for the same money AND still vouch for its effectiveness as being just as good as without the topical. The only reason I wont buy this product is because it is incomplete. I intend to wait a year, maybe a bit more and do a little research further. I don’t think its worthwhile to “try it before knocking it” because its like knowing that if you study hard you can get good grades, but if you study halfassed you MIGHT get good grades. They tell you about the complete product and then sell you half the product for the same price.
As far as those people complaining about the return policy, come on guys get real, doesn’t matter what the company is, whether their product is awesome or garbage, rarely is the return policy worth even attempting.
I wish you all the best of luck, I don’t think the company is necessarily scammers even though they’re playing mind games. They’re using intelligent marketing to sell a product, just like Mcdonalds, just like any other company that wants to sell you something.That said, personally I recommend waiting a while and see what happens, if this is the real deal then it will be something you see on a show like Oprah or whatever where there are actual people explaining their amazing results.
I’ll also say this, if you have a good topical treatment, then it might be worth your while to try Provillus out with it because it does sound like the combination will get results.
Does provillus helps hair stop from shedding?if not re-grow new hair,I’ll be happy if it stop my hair from shedding.I’m on provillus + minoxi + nizoral shampoo.Hope, to hear some feedback from u xpert out there.
Curtis, for what it’s worth, they charged me less when the topical wasn’t sent. But I agree, the best is to have both. But I thought someone here was saying they were back on track with both. I do wish people here would clarify if they’re using the topical as well.
Rattlesnake, many people say it helps a lot (if not mostly) reduce the fallout. Though this doesn’t guarantee there will not be a shed, as I mentioned in an earlier post.
Cheers!
Dave, I never received any topical solution.
Rattlesnake, I’m under the impression that ” shedding” isn’t necessarily a bad thing if you had a “thin” hair, this is because it needs to shed for a new ” terminal” hair to grow in. It’s part of the natural cycle of hair. From the research I’ve done , those who lose their hair have a process of ” minitirization ” of the hair to the point where the follicle finally dies. Having these thin hairs is the equivalent of going bald and hopefully what can happen is that you can reverse this process over the course of months in order to start growing thick healthy hair again. I wouldn’t necessarily despair if you ” shed” as long as a few weeks months later you regrow a healthy thick hair. This is why I’m not only taking Provillus but 1mg Finasteride and using Nizoral shampoo. I’m going at this from all angles. Herb/ dietary , chemically inside the body and using the Nizoral shampoo to keep things clean on the scalp and I read it was great for use with Finasteride. I figure I’ll do this all for a staright year and see what happens.
Guys,
can anyone tell me if the topical solution included in the purchase is of the OILY base, or the QUICK DRYING type…
I have been using a generic quick drying type , but have hrd abt another oily based one (like scalpmed)that takes longer to dry…thanks
almost four weeks now, NO RESULTS at all, no minimized hair falling, no thickness, nothing. Keeping hope that it will eventually get better though. :-D
Hi guys
I’m back on Provillus for about two weeks now. This is my second bottele. I have one good side effect which is that it made my hair fall less, and my lashes are growing longer and thicker.On the other hand, I noticed that the hair in my face and my bodey is increasing, which I don’t like at all as I’m a woman. Also my eye borrows are getting longer. As I noticed that there are no women on this blog at all and it seems I’m alone in trying these pills.
Dave, I remember you’ve mentioed once that you bought Provillus for your wife. Can you let me know how it is working for her? I want to decided on either to purchase another bottele or stop using Provillus.
Also, I want to ask you all gusy about Provillus ingredients. I noticed that you mentioned about Saw Palmento. The bottele I have there is no mention of it. Here are the ingredients as they appear in the bottele:
Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxine Hydrochloride) 4 mg
Biotin 10 mg
Magnesium (as Magnesium Oxide) 150 mg
Proprietary Blend 1200 mg:
Horsetail Silica (Equisetum arvense)
para-Amino Benzoic Acid
Could anyone explain it to me? I also want to know what is Saw Palmento as I don’t know it. Actually I’m not a naive English speaker and this is might be the reason I don’t recognize this herb ;-)
Thanks a lot in advance.
my 3 month update:
i mentioned earlier that at about the 6 week mark, i shed a *lot* of hair. well, most of the hair that fell then were thin-ish hair which were thinner than my normal hair. this left my head looking sparser than usual. by now, i think some of the hair around my temples have started to fill-in but my crown is still the same — sparse :( i have started other complementary regiments. revita is one of them (which btw is a very good shampoo).
i hope you are right dave cuz i plan on sticking with provillus for another 6 months at least. i will keep you guys posted.
I should have gone with the scalp med damn it this shit sucks donkey _ _ _ _.
Hair4life I hear ya.
I had a shed after I think 2 months of strong growth, and was now waiting to get back to that high, but I haven’t yet and like you, I now see mostly the “old faithful” hairs. There are still new hairs coming in, but I don’t think I am even where I was when I started. I am super pleased that the side effects of Proscar are long gone, but being 4 months in now I am not happy to still be waiting to get back to where I was at the start, so I’ve started to use the Proscar again every second day. I’m gonna see if I can have the best of both worlds I guess. It’s just that I have it sitting on the shelf and it’s hard to not use when the combination perhaps is what did the most for me in the past.
Of course I’m surprised I had lost any of the new growth since I kept on with the Rogaine all this time too. But I’ll let you know when I find a balance what it was for me. Again, everyone’s experience is different, but this has been my story so far.
Take care.
Well as of right now i’ve been using provillus for like a month and a half, however I am also using some natural herbal “ayurveda” pills, serum & shampoo combo, and also used spectral Dnc but quit because of money shortage :( Anyway i am 20 years old, in five days i’ll be 21, so far my results have been mininal but noticiable, before i used to shower and found like close to 20-30 broken shafts in my hand, however today I only find 10-15, but as new hair growing mmm :/ i dont really see any change, maybe its too soon to really tell, but i have faith, if from now to 4 or 6 months i really see a diference in me, i will definitely tell everyone the truth bottomline of my results to end all this uncertainess of confusion…
Thank yOu
wats up guys
im 21 and im pretty sure im starting to lose hair….its early days but my brother lost his hair around 23.
so dave, i think youd be best ta help here buddy!:)
you can either get d pills or d lotion or both…how exactly do you apply d lotion like, im not bald..do u rub it into your hair.
from readin a few comments id kind of assume that this product is more effective if you catch it in d early stages of d sickning balding process. whre id b concerned as well is if d stuff actually made me lose hair reference to what dave was saing about a “shed” after a few months dave and anyone else please help
peace
shane DA LAD!!!
Hi Shane,
I am no expert, and am still learning what works for me, but from what I’ve read here there seem to be 3 results:
1-No change
2-Hair loss strongly reduced
3-Hair loss strongly reduced accompanied by new growth
I experienced #3, and perhaps people who do have a shed. I could accept that, but when it didn’t rebound fully soon I grew disappointed, so I reintroduced Proscar into my regime. Perhaps it’s presence was why I had new growth(?). But I’m starting to think the bigger the swing, the more likely a shed, but that’s just my own opinion.
I have never had their topical formula, but Rogaine has an eye dropper which you use to drop it onto your scalp with the hair seperated. If you don’t need dramatic results you can start with it. It evaporates quickly so it disappears in 5 minutes.
But understand that what works one way for one person may (or usually does) work different for another. You just have to start with one and see what happens. I think some people have used Provillus without any negative swings.
Hope that helps!
One month and a week with provillus. NO RESULTS!!! Not even tiny hairs or reduced hair falling
shane,
I am #2.5 on Dave’s scale and I am 3 months into the program. i agree with dave…the bigger the swing…the bigger the shed. the new hairs that are replacing the hairs that i shed are definitely thicker and of a normal texture.
on a meta-note about provillus being a scam, i think this would only be true if the pill did not contain the ingredients that were listed on the bottle. bad advertising practices, in my mind, does not make it a scam.
I’ve done a little research of my own and found out that saw palmmeto “provillus” will “might depending your body everyone is diferent” help you restore your hair moderately, only and only IF you are still in your early stages of baldness… Like any other product, they state that if your baldness has been going on for years “5-10years” their product MIGHT NOT work for you! so people we must stop ignoring the fact we are getting bald and start acting as soon as we can… For you Help Me guy I could only reconmend to use other products to use in conjunction with provillus like a shampoo that is proven that WILL NOT regrow hair, but help you maintain what you have, and wait untill provillus start kicking in into your system
Thank you
I am 16 and have a balding problem. At the moment i have fairly good coverage, obviously when my hair is down. I think i have been receding since 15 and half. From the moment i noticed it i quickly started spiraling into a horrible routine of constantly checking my hair no matter where i am. When anyone ever points it out to me i swear i die a little inside. I would love for someone to say to me that there is a pill you can take every day at a constant price that would even just keep your hair. I am not even that bothered about growing it back, but dont get me wrong that would be a good extra. At the very least i would be happy with just keeping my hair untill i was 25. At the moment i have a £105 in my bank account which is enough for a 6 month supply of provillus. So this means i seriously need to know if it works or not as money is hard to come by at my age. Any light that anyone can shed on the subject such as does it stop or slow down hair fall. I would prefer first hand material so i can add up who it has not worked for a who it has worked for.
I totally agree with Steve, but would add that going the Proscar route may be much cheaper.
I wish I had found this site sooner.
I’m a 25 year old male. I’ve tried Provillus, for about 5 months now, and haven’t noticed any difference. However, I can’t say that I’ve really gotten to try it because they never sent me the topical solution.
I wrote to them a while back asking them about it and they never replied. They didn’t reply until I wrote to them again asking “Do you ship the topical solution to Canada? BECAUSE I WANT TO ORDER AGAIN.” Magic words right there, I got a reply the next day telling me that they do ship to Canada and that the reason I didn’t get it the first time around was because they were out of stock, but this time I’d get the solution.
So I ordered it again against my better judgement because I actually do want to try the COMPLETE product so that I can tell people if it actually works or not. I figured, if it works then great, I got my hair back. And if it doesn’t then at least I can let people know so they don’t waste their money.
But I get my order, and AGAIN there’s no topical solution. And now I’m pretty annoyed because this isn’t a case of “I heard on this site that they do ship to Canada and I heard on this site that they don’t.” They specifically told me that they do. I wrote back to them again a couple of days ago, asking them what the deal is, and once again they have yet to reply.
So unfortunately, I can’t honestly comment on the quality of their product, but at least I can tell you guys that the quality of their service is CRAP!
I’d send it back for a refund, but I’m still paying them a “restocking fee” for every bottle I ordered, so in the end they make money while I’ve paid them $30 for a headache, plus shipping and handling. So in the end, I may end up keeping the bottles and looking for somewhere that sells the topical solution on its own, because I still do want to review the product.
hey guys
cheers for d advice…wat do u mean tho..the bigger the swing the bigger the shed….like do u mean d more hair u have d more youl shed???
how often to people get side affects from proscar or peopecia, der are sites online dat u can buy prescription drugs withot a prescription r.e “onlinemedicalstore.com
ive kinda bin tinkin of jus goin wit wat works i.e prpecia, im just well parinoid of d side effects , imagin it made u impotent!!!!
George, I feel your frustration. But the real reason they can’t send the topical is because it has 5% minox which in Canada needs a prescription, so it could be stopped at the border. If you look into Rogaine(5%) on Ebay, sellers there issue the same warnings.
I would just get Rogaine here, though it would be interesting to try theirs.
(This question is for Dave) How long did it take you too see results with Proscar? Is there anyway i can get Proscar without perscription as i am only 16 so therefore i am not legal.
Is there any chance you could put some photo’s up showing your hair improving. This would make me feel much more confident about the whole thing.
Finally can i have your msn/aim? This is just so i can ask questions thats all.
Oh, okay. Thanks for the info Dave, I appreciate it.
I wish they had told me that when I asked them though. Kind of underhanded in my opinion.
Solomnf, I noticed an improvement within weeks, but it was a number of years ago, so I can’t be more elaborate or specific than that. And I don’t know if you can get it any other way, maybe try internet sites and see who will sell it to you and what they require, but sometimes things need a prescription for your own protection. But I didn’t know you can’t get a prescription due to your age.
I don’t have any photos or honestly, much more to add about it. You should go back to my post #87 above and look into that first link. That site talks a lot more about Proscar and all of those, and they have pictures. To learn about that route, that would be a better place for you.
Cheers!
Wow solomnf you stared quite young… am also in the same search for wheter provillus works or not, i’ve been under the pill for 1 month and a half, and am also using Restoration hair, but due to lack of reviews and little negative reviews i’ll cancel… I’ve noticed reduced hair falling, but remaining hair looks thin…
I have read all teh comments and people bashing teh company who makes this. Have you people even tried teh product I dont think you have. Are any of you aware that certain products work for people and others dont. You cant just go on here and say it didnt work for me because that makes everyone to believ that it doesnt work when it might work for them. I am 24 and tried 3 different products this oen is the most promising. Most of these products are aimed at stopping hairloss before it becomes a mjor problem not when you are bald. Get a clue people try teh product before you bash it. I am going to everyone has tehir own opinions I odnt believ what soem people say.
I feel you solomon. I am only twenty and mine started about the same age as you are. My hair everywhere else is thick like yours but my hairline is receding on both sides. Mine is a lot worse then yours though, yours is barely noticeable. But thanks for keeping us updated on pictures so we can see the proof. I am going to order it too and will try to get some pictures up if I do see changes.
(This is to Thor) Have you ever tryed anything for your hair before? If so what was it? Can you upload some pictures of your hair so i can get an idea of what i will look like in 5 years lol. When you get your provillus can you tell me whether or not you got the topical part aswell as the oral part becuase i didn’t.
(Too everyone) Does Provillus actually work if you only have the pills and not the topical solution. The key ingredient in the topical solution is Minoxidil. Minoxidil is also in Rogaine which i have heard does not combat hair loss very well. So what i want to know is when the topical solution is used in combination with the pills does it start to become more effective. Or are you just highering your chances by using too products at once meaning there is a high chance that one will atleast do something. Any light that anyone could shed on this subject would be much appreciated.
Check out my hair progression at http://www.matmice.com/home/balding
Solomnf, when I didn’t get the topical I asked them pretty much the same question. They said you will get the same results but it may just take a little longer. Not sure whether I believe that, but that’s what they said. Both your scenarios could be right. It may assist in, or do all the work. It may depend on the person.

i posted dis already but dave or anyone if u can help…..
almost two months now, no improvements AT ALL. Running out on pills, don’t know if I should get more.
Hi guys. Just noticed this blog and very interesting.
I have just started using Provillus just on a month ago.
But I started years ago using the Images (Neways) 2nd Chance Shampoo and Conditioner (about 20 years ago) and it did slow things down but never grew my hair back. Now I’m in my 50’s and it still brasses me off to lose hair!
However, about 6 years ago, I decided I have got to try minoxidil and I did and got some initial results. Messy stuff so after applying it, I run a hot wet comb through my hair to remove the minoxidil solution from my hair (not too much water on comb though).
But later on, I started the Nurtifolica topical treatment. It seemed to be working but eventually, my hair kept going down. Then I though, Ah..lets try them both. One night minoxidil (I use the Headways brand 5%) and next night the Nutrifolica (this has saw paletto etc in it too). Anyways, after some time, I actually see some small hairs growing back on a bald patch on the back of my head. Over the months, these got bigger and thicker and there are quite a few there now. Tell you what, I got quite excited.
Then I thought, I’d try the 1,2,3 treatment. Minoxidl, Nurifolica and Provillus (just the the supplement pills). Well, it’s been about a month now and I have taken some photo’s from about 2 years ago and just recent. There is certainly some encouragement there and I will be monitoring progress closely. What has really got me excited (my wife is still a bit disbelieving after trying all these years!), is that there are now dozens and dozens of small hairs at the front of my head. I have heard that this is the hardest so watch this space! I will let you know the progress, good or bad.
Regards, Kev
Hey KEV I hear you… I will also start a same routine as you, been using provillus for nearly 2 months, seen reduced hair fall when showering Low on pills will order, in conjuction with spectral Dnc “Minoxidil” have heard more good reviews than bad and some shampoo as well… any recomendations on a specfic shampoo?? My question to you is… Is your baldness due to hederetary issues like me “DHT” or becuse you use unusual harstyles, stress a lot or not maintain a “healthy” life???
QUEstion To ALL: Do you all experience oily scalp as well or is it just me??? (O_o)
EdMan, I am still using the Neways 2nd Chance Shampoo after all these years. As long as you don\’t use a shampoo with Sodium Laurel Sulphate or similar (2nd chance and other quality shampoo\’s use Amonium Laurel Sulphate) that will help. But I hear there are some other really good hair loss shampoo\’s out there but I have not tried them. I have learn\’t quite a few things over these years though.
And yes, I believe my baldness is due to the heriditary DHT issue. My grandfather (on my mothers side) was bald as a teenager! Didn\’t really start losing hair until I was around 30.
Hello people!!!
Every one is going thru the same problem… is anyone going for the MJ or Vin diesel look???
I know I am going for the 50cent look, “Bald with rag n cap” hahahaha…”Sigh”…..
Anyway I shoould of seen this coming, no physical torture can be compared with this emotional torture….
I never knew “till now” young adults also so bald…
I wish i could find the spell for this curse,
the cure for this disease,
the hope for this disgrace,
the answer for this problem
and better yet the antidote to this illness
…
But then again… its just a wish… for now we settle for provillus aka $”Pro-Villians”$, minoxidil aka “Me-No-See-dil”, finasteride aka “The one and only Boner killer”, rogaine aka “NO-GAIN” & shampoo’s ProFollica aka Pro-folly-call” 921-6366 to order… hahahahaah….!!! Luck everyone! and if someone finds something useful! dont forget to spread the word! dont forget about us!
Peace!

Hey guys,
I can’t believe I read from the beginning all the way to the end. Anyway, here’s my 2 cents. I have tried Rogaine even before it was OTC and it never quite worked. It just gave me reddish scalp.
After a lot of sheddings in the shower, I started to realize that perhaps my scalp is allergic to strong shampoo. So for awhile, I started to use Baby shampoo… Yes, baby shampoo!!!
That reduces the shedding, but I wanted more. Then one day, my folks called to tell me that they heard good things about “Mane&Hair”. It’s funny because it’s a shampoo for Horse!!!
Reluctantly, I purchased the shampoo and the conditioner and have been using it till now. The shedding has almost stopped or very little. This is good news for me because now, I can start looking for something that will provide hair growth on my soon-to-be-bald spot.
Try it, if you guys would like to stop the shedding. I purchased them at Walgreen and/or Walmart. Buy 1 and get free is usually at Walgreen.
Don’t worry, I don’t work for this company… I even laughed when it’s labelled for both Human and Horse.

(4th month update)
this is my 4th month on provillus. i must say, i am not impressed. the hair fall rate is about the same but i see new growth around my temples — nothing that makes a cosmetic difference as of now though. and it did nothing to my crown area which continues to thin out.
the new growth is interesting enough for me to stick with it for 2 more months. i’ll keep you guys posted…
SCALP MED my friends, I have been using it for 2 months and I have seen MAJOR improvement, a couple of friends of mine think that I had the transplant, this is wild, all tough the hair feel very weird,it’s there. For those of you who want to try it out, it is expensive 149.00 per mont or something like that I’m at the office rignt now,and it does say that you need to take it for the rest of your life if you don’t want to start loosing it again.
It’s your choice…………
Take care.
P.S. Baseball Cap 20.00 Dlls
Is it me or do people with bigger foreheads usually go bald
I’m trying provillus right now, even in the face of all the commentary. I’m on day 2 and I’ll fill you guys in. Also, I will be picking up some mane and tail, I should’ve known. I had a girlfriend that used that stuff and she had(and still does have) the most beatiful hair. But anyhow, I’ll try to remember to fill you guys in on my Provillus experience.
Hey um Solomnf. You should get your blood checked. I’m 21 and went to the doctor to find out why I was loosing my hair and the first thing the doctor ordered was a blood test. Their are many reasons for hairloss and yeah cancer and tumors are amoung them. But the chances of it being so are very slim. But better safe then sorry.
Provillus~I have used it for 6 months more and almost $300 later nothing! You get a some hair regrowth in the begginning but after it get’s 1cm long it falls out. Talk about fun! I am going to try ‘Revivogen Scalp Therapy’. Best of luck to all. Sucks eh!
I take Royal Jelly 1500mg per day and within 2 weeks, noticed my hair does not fall out as much as before. It continues getting better for about 6 weeks of using it. Don’t think it helps regrow lost hair, just keeps ones you have from falling out as easily.
Well, some of the re-growth at the front is slowly improving…after a month with Provillus and minoxidil one day, nutrifolica topical applications the next. So far, I’m encourage more than I ever have been. Will let you know results after another month but its amazing who starts to make comments on your baldness when you can see some things happening! Makes me smile especially when its from other baldies :)
Greeting my baldies!!!
Today I am going to tell you a story!! I’ll begin by telling you I stared to use minoxidil, and as many of you know one of the stages of minoxidil is the fearsome SHEDDING!! O_o Yikes! anyway last night looking at the mirror I took a look at my wet hair, as I usual I tried to comb it with my bare hand… AND thats when it all Happened! I took a quick glance at my hand only to find, mmmm 15-30 fallen courpses from my scalp, thats when I decided the only thing to do was to dress in black and honor the poor and innocent souls that gave their lives away for the new generation of hair that would soon “hopefully” appear, a whole new brave and bold generation “hopefully again”… So for now R.I.P and may the Man above have mercy in the poor little restless hairs that go down the drain everyday and everywhere… Amen -_-
Amen to that brotha….
Sad commentary on the American public: If you knock a product, then you are a life-saver and an honest person. If you praise it, you must be a company shill and anyone who believes you is naive.
This is a blog. People write what they’ve experienced. It is up to you to believe or not, but how is someone supposed to tell you truthfully that it really does work? Think about it. No matter how they do it, you still won’t believe them.
Just tell me your experience and your research, and let me do the deciding.
Thanks.
I am a chemist. The answer to your question is very, very simple. If it isn’t FDA endorsed then it is undoubtedly a scam. Notice most of the late night commercials for everything from hair growth to “the product that can make a man larger”? In tiny letters you will see the words “Not FDA endorsed” – in other words they have no clinical trials, no evidence, no proof and in most cases are not created by chemists or doctors. The only FDA endorsed product is Rogaine which has approximately a 20% success rate. To date, there is nothing else which works. Some of the people who confidently believe that herbs etc are working are not suffering from male pattern baldness but are suffering from “nervous” or diet related baldness which usually rectifies itself anyway. The sad truth is that despite a number of ongoing research projects (because let’s be frank the company that creates the cure to baldness will be laughing all the way to the bank!) we are still nowhere near in a position to “cure” a genetically coded attribute anymore than we can “cure” having blue eyes. Here’s the official FDA article
http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/1997/397_hair.html
Well, my system of combining those 2 and now 3 treatments IS working! And I have been working at this for many years!
Now, what shocked me the other day was that another bloke at work made a comment about me using “hair restorer”. That shocked me because I had told NONE of these blokes…as you do… Anyways he has kept looking at the back of my head, sometimes it has been down right embarassing! Heck, now that tell’s me something! And I know, because I check the progress daily :-)
It’s working for me (Headway 5% minoxidil one day, Nurofolica the next – both topical and taking the Provillus pills twice a day) and I am delighted. I share this because this combo may help others. I did try minoxidil by itself…Nah…then Nutrifolica by itself….Nah and earlier the 2nd Chance treatment….Nah. The combo as mentioned – YES! Hope this helps some one
Kev
Hey kev that sounds awesome keep us posted! Where do you get the headway minoxidil and nurofolica?
Hey there Kev
Thanks for the suggestion regarding your combination, I am considering trying it. My only question to you however is with the use of this combo, how long did it take before you started noticing some results? I have hair in the back of my head but my hairline at the front is receding. Do you think your suggestion may work for me?
Thanks again
Sean
Dave, I have to say that much of the information you have posted on this site has been very informative, and I have a few questions I hope you could assist me with. First of all, I am in the process of ordering Provillus (could hurt to try it). I am 29 and have started to notice that my hair is thinning out on top. Before it starts to seriously worsen, I am thinking of trying Provillus to see if produces positive results. Aside from ordering Provillus (both the pills and the topical solution), what should I use as daily, regular shampoo? I read that Nizoral Shampoo would be good, but you cant use that every single day, right? From your experience, what would you suggest? Any advice on this would be incredibly helpful. Thanks for your time, and I agree with some earlier postings stating that we should use this blog to help one another out as opposed to bash each other. There is nothing, up to now, that would lead me to think that you work for or get compensated by any of these companies, and I thank you for helping out “the cause” despite what appears to be very negative feedback. Thanks for your time.
Dave, just to make sure I am getting you right, you would recommend using the New Generation shampoo along with the Provillus stuff, correct? Anything else that I should be doing to give this a fair chance? Thanks, again, for your time.
Dave, I am sorry if I am asking too many questions, but I thought of some follow-ups: (1) the New Generation Shampoo — can you only purchase that online? (2) What do you think of the Nizoral/Nioxin combination? (3) The Provillus (both pills and topical solution) along with some “helpful” shampoo should be a good start, don’t you think? Am I forgetting something/anything? And, yes, I know your not an expert but your experience (unlike mine) has got to count for lots, no? Anyway, I think these should be enough FOR NOW, and I am sorry if I am getting nit-picky. Thanks, yet again!
This question is for Dave…
When you first started taking Provillus did you notice increased hair lost during the first two or so weeks? And also since you seem very education about the product would you suggest this product would work for someone who has hair that is plentiful on the sides but a lil less on the top with a receding hair line?
Thank you for your time.
-Nick
Good question, Nick. I have the same, exact problem.
Hi Nick!
When I started using Provillus I stopped using Proscar, but still had it in my system I guess, ’cause I had strong regrowth right away, that petered out after a month or two. My fallout was minimal at first and then increased.
I’ve never had a bald spot, so the regrowth I’m talking about is in literally all the other areas. Temples, hairline, and top. What amazes me is how Proscar was good for my top left, but weak on my top right, but Provillus is the opposite, so the two together is great, plus the sides of my head have never been fuller, which I definately attribute to Provillus. But again, I’m getting these results by adding Proscar. But Provillus and Hair Muck may be great as well.
Hope that helps!
5 months on provillus.
i have some interesting updates. first off, provillus does have sexual side effects. i experienced a drop in libido and my morning wood definitely not of the same intensity. all this started in the 5th month.
i reduced dosage to 1 pill a day and the side effects are slowly wearing off. i also started applepoly topical this month and the combo is working well. even with reduced dosage, this combo is actually making a cosmetic impact. i dunno how long this growth patch will last. but so far it looks promising. btw, i am also using revita (1% keto) and grigko biloa extract.
has anybody else here tried applepoly topical with provillus?
Thanks a lot Dave. You answered my question perfectly.
Dave, you might have already answered this question for me (if so, I apologize), but what is your suggested pattern/procedure for using New Generation Shampoo and the Hair Muck. When and how often do you apply each? Also, after reading haif4life’s posting, do you know or have you read if these sexual side effects are common? Any info you have will help. Thanks, again!
No problem EdRam, we’re all here to help each other.
I don’t think the side effects are very common. My sexdrive rebounded once I got on it and off of Proscar, and has been fine ever since. I think some people even report an improvement.
And I would use the New Generation shampoo twice in the morning. They say it doesn’t lather and that’s OK, but I’ve found the second wash it does, and that’s what I associate with clean. But if you find your scalp dry, use a Dandruff shampoo first and then the New Generation.
I forgot to mention earlier, when you order the Provillus, CONFIRM they will be sending you the topical (which includes minoxidol). If they don’t, get some off ebay or whatever. Mix the Hair Muck ($40 a year….beat that!) in there and use it in the morning after the hair is dry. I give it a few minutes to settle in, then style it using my hairdryer. If you find this isn’t enough, you can always go to 2 times a day with the topical.
Good luck!
Dave, this should be my last question (I think), but where can I get the Hair Muck? Unless I can think of a question I haven’t thought of yet, it appears you have answered all my questions (let me add “for now,” just in case).
Anybody heard of Follica?
Do some reasearch on it, you might be pleasantly surprised.
Dave, do you mix all of the Hair Muck into the topical solution or just onto your hands upon application? How does that work? I have been told that there are no stupid questions, so I hope this one isn’t — haha!
No EdRam, you mix it in the bottle of Minoxidol so it’s not “another step”. He sends enough for a year, plus a measuring cup. You mix one ounce into a bottle of Minoxidol, shake, and use. The rest goes into the fridge till you start a new bottle.
Cheers!
Thanks, Dave. Appreciate the time!
Can we all agree that Provillus is just a general concotion of herbal ingredients that theres some annecdotal evidence may reduce/cure hairloss.
The company also seems to market nicocure and a host of other miracle herbal cures. Type in nicocure scam or provillus scam on google you end up on various blogs and even youtube vids that appear to offer the truth but eventually gently steer you back to the marketing pages,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2iMEk3-ozQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoVi3cEgjyU&feature=related
A few bogus blogs, a few genuine blogs with bogus bloggers and few very vocal people who have seen some results (hey its a numbers game! if 5,000 people take a herbal hair loss pill do you think 1 might see some changes (this might be due to a huge number of factors!)Do you think you might hear a lot from the few that have seen a difference?. How many 1000’s buy it, see no change and then slope off never to be heard of again.
Its like when uri geller tries to make peoples old clocks & watches start working again when he`s on the radio and 3 people phone in to say it worked! Is that the power of his mind or just the result of 1/4 million people looking at old watches.
Anyway just look at the evidence they market products that are pretty rubbish, attack the internet and sit back and watch the cash role in globally from desperate suckers who will give anything a go.
the money back guarentee is a joke
they continue to email you stuff like this months after you buy some:
2 Bottles of (Provillus For Men) – Pending Order
(Urgent Response Required).
Hello Simon,
You are currently enrolled in our discount auto-ship product promotion. Your order is currently pending your confirmation to be shipped.
So yes, they got me too! I believed the bogus blogs spent a few quid and learnt a lesson. I wont be fooled again but thats not the point, who cares? there`s miilions of guys out there just typing in ‘baldness cure’ on google for ther first time.
THANKS FOR ALL THE INFORMATION GUYS
WOW, just read all the posts, some interesting stuff and similar to all people I am now more confused then ever. I am 30 years old and noticed some thinning on the front and top of my head. Nothing too noticeable despite the odd comment, is your hair thinning etc etc? Anyway, copped two of those comments in a weekend and off I went!! So, did all my research and eventually decided that Provillus would be the way to go … all natural, herbal etc etc. Whats the harm in trying it, its not overly expensiven either.
So, I received the pills on time and have been using it for just over a month. Purhcased a two month supply so have one bottle to go. Anyway, in terms of results so far … hmmm, none …. if anything my hair loss has continued, its now coming out at the roots … my forhead is oily too, and my scalp is itchy but bearable. So, I dont knwo what to do???? Last night I promised I would just move on and forget about Provillus, now I’m thinking, give it one more month …. eeeek, what to do!!!
In terms of all the other stuff that is FDA approved … it just seems a little hardcore for my liking ….then again, its probably the only stuff that works.
ok ive been reading this thing for mouths i baught this stuff before reading these post used it for 4 mouths does not work. i am also 30 loseing hair in front of head.for every one out there that said add this or that to your routine try the other stuff firts and then come back to this crap just my 2 shits
Philip
Hi Phillip
I think if you use at least a topical minoxidil along with the Provillus, you will see some results. Don’t just use the Provillus by itself although some will see results. I have just about finished 3 months on the Provillus PLUS topical minoxidil and then saw palmetto etc (nutrofollica)every alternate night. I am definitely getting regrowth on the back and front.
One thing you have to remember if you want your hair to grow back is to be patient. I’ve been going for years and it’s only now that I have found some treatments that work for me.
But have a good look at Dave’s posts as he is probably more experienced than anyone else here on this forum which personally I think is the best I have ever seen on the subject of baldness and remedies.
All the best
Kev
Another thing I forgot to mention and that is for those attacking the baldness problem, make sure you are on a good diet. And that you are not under constant stress. These things will definitely cause or accelerate baldness to some people. Try to keep the body in reasonable shape too.
I take regularly multi-vitamin supplements etc. and one thing that does seem to strengthen my hair is black strap mollasses. Yep, no kidding. And you get used to the taste but rarely does a day go by when I don’t have my desert spoon full of molasses. But this is just what I do. Every little bit helps and I feel so chuffed about what’s happening now.
Kev
Thanks for the feedback Dave … am going to give Provillus anther 3 weeks which will mean I’ve been using it for two months. After that I’m going to get onto the minoxidil … but its 7%??? I have seen a lot of chat about minoxidil 2% & 5% .. but 7%? Is that extra strength or something .. anyway … figure its the only way to go …. apply it once a day before I go to bed I suppose …. are there any major side effects that come with using minoxidil? Is my hair going to shed even more? Hopefully not, Provillus has done a good job of that already …. :(
Nonetheless, would be nice if Provillus started to kick in and give me some new hair instead of making it all fall out!!!
The Truth About Jai Bains Restoration Hair:
Greetings my name is Ed, you probably seen some of my posts, I was once a user of this Hair system, Let me start off with prices… mm like 50-80 a month depending on what you need because JB Restoration Hair is like a subcription and ships you the products montly, This was my fisrt try at battling baldness, the system includes an ayurvedric based serum, pills and shampoo combo, I was on this regime like 4 months, I am a victim of inherited baldness :( , the serum is very oily and must be applied at night when you go to sleep, the shampoo is quite good but only good not perfect, anyway after the 4 months I did NOT see and hair grow!!! however in my 4th month i’ve noticed a bit more stronger hair using it along with provillus and Spectral Dnc (minoxidil 5%) Therefore, my conclution is that I really dont recomend it if you are suffering from inherited baldness or DHT, however if you are suffering from baldness due to other factors, then this product is for YOu! One issue with this system is that JB hair restoration claims all your money back, and some users claim that that’s a lie, however my response to them is… READ THE TERMS AND CONDITION yes the little letters at the bottom, dont be ignorant, all products come from companies! and what companies want least are losses!!
Currently im only using Spectral DNC and some common hair nutrition pills, 2 months now, the rate of falling hair in my frontal head has decrease but now I am having troble with my crown area… I will give Proscar/Provillus combo a try…
Thank you
hi, i’m a 27 year old male. I noticed over the past year i’ve been thinning at the front of my hair line (sry don’t know the technical term for that). It’s to the point i’m concerned since no one in my direct blood line has any baldness (dad, grandpa’s uncles – all full thick hair). I’m not sure if this is do to stress or maybe i’m just unlucky and dht is not on my side.
Anyways i currently use nisim and have been for about half a year. I haven’t noticed any really hair loss since, and it seems to be a bit thicker from before. However, i noticed all the tiny thinned hairs really aren’t doing much. I was very interested in Provillus due to alot of the reviews i read..and it was listed as the #1 customer reviewed product on naturalhairlosstreatment.com.
After reading the many responses here (and i read a good portion) the reviews really seem mixed. Though i’m sure that’s natural, i’m not sure at this point what to do. Any suggestions? While i’m happy that Nisim has helped thicken up my hair, i’d really like to grow the remaining thin hair back to it’s original state. What are your guys suggestions? Thanks for your help!!
Dave, hair characteristics are not inherited from any one side. That is an old wives’ tale. While it has some inherited components it can be passed down from either or both sides.
hi im a 18 year old guy from toronto.i have noticed some hair loss throughout the past year. i really hope there is something out there that works.. im very skeptical about these products because if there actually was a cure for hair loss im pretty sure it would be charged at alot higher price and we would be able to purchase it in stores. Im looking into hair transplant surgery and i would really appreaciate some feedback on risks and side effects associated with it.If there is anyone out there who has had the surgery please let me know of your experiance..
ps. that dave guy is obviously a scammer if he wasnt he would of said what he had to say and leave it at that but he has to keep convincing people..tht being said why would he care so much unless there was something in it for him….
Hi Paul
I don’t think Dave is a scammer. If he is like me, he is just delighted to have a treatment/combination that works for him and want’s to share it with others. If that is the motivation and from what I have seen and experienced myself, then great. Take his advice seriously. And use what works for you. I’ve been trying for years and for me, one treatment alone does NOT work. And I’m seeing more and more little hairs coming through with what I am doing…and the early ones are growing into bigger ones :)
And that’s a fact. But up to you. Doesnt’ cost much to try these days and especially if you are 18, don’t much around.
And don’t, DON’T use shampoo’s that have sodium laurel/laureth suplphte in them! Those harsh shampoo’s will wreck havoc on your hair. Use a decent shampoo which use’s an Amonium laurel sulphate base. Then do all the rest.
But hair transplants is another matter. And they are very expensive.
All the best
To be honest provillus can lick my balls and so can evrything else im pissed of becz i almost wasted my F*cking money dave your a lil bitch. Why would you spend your time sucking off provillus when its from some stupid shit hole country that does shitty refunding so go blow yourself you lil flamer
and about the hair care thing i have used nioxing and my hair stopped falling out as much but im nt sure if my hair started to fall ou because i smoked hell of weed everyday fro a year or took excstacy or used 99 cent shampoo so i have stopped all that stuff and im healthy while using nioxin then i got my hopes up on provillus and found this website and am very upset
Thanks for the kind words Kev, and you’re right on every point. I mean, if I were an expert would I have made the mistake Marge corrected me on? Wouldn’t I know more about Rogaine 2%, 5% and 10%? Some people here are nuts.
I hate being the only one with ideas or help. That’s why I wait several days for someone else to answer a new question, then when no one does, I do. (See Post 119). So “Paul”, let’s see who answers your question now. You look for sympathy, then if you get it, we’re scammers!?! Good luck!
And Huffy huffy…when does your medication arrive? You’re so burnt out you’re not even worth the effort.
Again Kev, thanks for your posts. You’re contributing good stuff too.
Now, will you people please leave me alone!
guys, this is my last update here. i am off provillus for good. i experienced mild sexual side-effects and i did not want to risk it. but ever since i got off provillus (about 2-3 weeks) i am beginning to see that provillus was actually doing wonders for me!! ever since i got off provillus, my hair has progressively got a lot worse — thinner and sparser. i now shed more hair in the shower everyday. and while the sexual side-effects are wearing off, the comments from people about getting thin on top are increasing. i have switched to an all topical regiment with the hope that i will get what provillus gave me without the side effects.
for those of you who are on provillus and are not experiencing side effects, my advice would be to stick with it. i saw the best results starting from the 5th month.
i saw sustained results even with 1 pill a day. so for ppl who are afraid they may experience sides, my advice would be to start with 1 pill a day.
good luck everyone!
I don’t know why you idiots are complaining about a product that you haven’t tried. I haven’t tried provillus yet, but who am i to complain about a product that i haven’t tried. you guys make me sick. Then i read if it works wonders for your hair why dont they advertise it on the news and bla bla bla. You guys must be retarted. Use LOGIC. If provillus really works, if provillus is a proven hairloss remedy, then obviously they won’t be advertising it all over the news, You know how many companies would lose money? Do you ever think about that? People that batt up the product are just failures, it doesn’t take a doctor to figure out that everyone that batts up the product no wonder your losing hair depression and hate. So all you can do is talk shit about a product you never used. Now in my opinion the reason some people haven’t seen results is because a lot of them waited way to long to stop their hairloss. So it’s really hard for the scalp to revive hair that has been used to losing hair for 20 years?!!!!!!?!?!?!?! REVERSING HAIRLOSS AFTER 20 YEARS??!?!?
THINK ABOUT IT.
However, the people that really want to know if provillus is going to work is… RESEARCH the product, learn a few things about hairloss. I know my stuff, just dont want to explain it here. But i know my hair is thinning from damage as well as DHT which blocks all the excellent nutrients that your hair needs to survive.Think of it like this, if you didn’t eat, if starved yourself, how long would it take for you to die? YOUR HAIR IS STARVING PEOPLE. block the dht. Give it the most powerful nutrients which provillus has all in one& wait for your hair cycle to adapt. Don’t be a fool and not try the product. I WANT TO SEE WHO IS GONA SAY I WORK FOR THIS COMPANY BECAUSE IT WILL JUST MAKE ME LAUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
could anyone who used provillus tell me ! DO YOU TAKE THE 2 CAPSULES AT THE SAME TIME or ONE IN THE MORNING AND THE OTHER IN THE EVENING ! what is the best way to take Provillus ?
and does it matter ?
I have been taken the pills once in the morning when I wake up and once at night. To get even faster results I open up the pill and put it in my mouth and attacks it right away rather than waiting for the capsule to break down. It says twice a day once in the morning and once at night. That is what I do with good success. The earlier you stop hairloss the easier it is to regrow your hair back. Listen to Sam he is right. Another reason why they don’t advertise on tv is that it might not work for everyone. It works for the majority, but not all.
Thanks Justin, and your right, it doesn’t work for everyone. People have other issues in their life, you may not realize it but if something really dramatic happens in your life, your body recognizes it as a stress factor. All the good chemicals turn bad, and it may not just be hair loss as the problem. It may be other problems in your body as well. Stress can also give you bad skin. Just be open-minded, but at the same time careful. Don’t be fooled by some products, learning why you lose hair is probably 95% of the battle. It may be that your just not happy with your overall physique or not happy with your life. All i know is even if i was born looking like shrek i would still love life. Be thankful
hi im new to this blog, tried reading as many of these comments as possible and im glad i can finally interact with others and try and solve this hell raised upon us called balding/receding. after all the talk, how come no one has anything to say about that fue (follicle ultra extraction) type transplant, if u look it up and read about it ,it seems like it wouldn’t be such a bad idea. any comments?
i know this is mostly a provillus blog site, but looking in to other solutions as well can do nothing more but help, i mean, im 25 yrs old with slight receding in the front and im flippin out. now those of you who are experiencing more extreme hair loss, i can only imagine how u feel and wut your goin through. rite now im on procerin and have been for a month already and have two more months to go, so far nothin noticable but i’ll keep in touch. if this don’t work i might have to try provillus, you’ll only know the truth about it if you try !!!!! the more people who try it the more we will know if its a breakthrough or not.
So many contradictory opinions, “facts” and different experiences… I think I’ll just shave it all off.
i was balding then ordered 4 months of provillus and i am taking provillus with saw palmetto and vitamins. At first my hair didnt fall out at all then it shed for a while now it looks good im not sure it suppose to shed in the starting to get rid of all the bad hair but rogaine made me shed bad so i quit but hey IF YOUR BALDING SHAVE YOUR HEAD. MOVE TO THE GHETTO. BECOME A RAPPER. .. . …simple as that :)
I have just placed my order for this product, I am a women and my hair had been thinning since i had my son just over a year ago, no one has said anything about my thinning hair but my confidence is at rock bottom, i used to have beautiful thick hair and used to moan about it because it was so thick!!!! oooh how i wish i could turn back the clock!!! i have read most of the comments and there is good and bad points, i, like most other people who are thinning or going bald, will try anything, i have been taking supplements from the health shop but not noticed any difference, i will keep you posted once i receive my shipment and start taking it, keep your fingers crossed!!!!!
I live in the UK, does anyone know how long i will be waiting for my order?
Lisa
JOHN from comment 325, so u had good results from procerin?
Hello everyone, i am a 28 year old female. i’ve been losing my hair since i was 24, but i’ve always had thin hair. I just purchased provillus yesterday. After i just saw this blog today in which i read most of the comments, I am now a little skeptical, but anyhow, I’m willing to give provillus a year but before I can really rate em.
Basically, I want to know for those of u who are currently still using provillus and believe that it’s working. Did you decrease usage from twice a day to once a day or every other day. From my assumption, I believe if u stop using it completely, u will lose all hair all over again, but will the decrease of using the product help.
Anyhow, I will keep u all posted upon my usage of this product.
I have just received my order, quite good as i live in the uk and it only took three days to come, however, i am a little confused as to how to take them, on the bottle it says to take two capsules daily, is that one in morning and one in evening or both at the same time, HELP.
In reply to kims question i read that if you stop taking the product you go back to losing again, so basically if it works you will be taking for the remainder of your life.
Good luck kim, how will you be taking yours, one in morning and evening or two straight away?
Ive posted on here before.I finally finished my six months this last month.Iam completely disappointed and would say provillus does not work.My hair is just as thin if not thinner.Save your money,dont buy provillus!
Provillus may help diminish hair loss, but it also can cause erectile disfunction. Be very careful.
Dave seems to be on this site a lot to defend t his product. Makes you think why he is wasting his time doing all of this if he is not affiliated in any way. LOL. Maybe you should go enjoy your new set of “hair” LOL instead of trying to scam people on the internet.
Rant done, I highly doubt any of these products will work. I have tried them all for at least a good 1 year on each products out there. Now its been 5 years since i started loosing my hair I have seen little to no results. I still have hair but it is def. continuing to fall. Save your money and get a transplant if you are so concerned with hair loss. I personally are finally done wasting my money away. Its really not worth it and the hair you do “regrow” are short, thin hair that will eventually fall off your head anyways.
good luck guys.
Scam. This company has several redirector sites (baldingtony.com, hairlosshaven.com, etc.) which glowingly recommend Provillus.
One cause of hair loss is excessive use of shampoos which contain wax or waxlike substances. The wax accumulates in the hair shafts and blocks hair from growing out of the follicle. Eventually, the hair follicle dies.
Minoxidil cleans out the scalp so that hair follicles which are dormant but alive can regrow hair. That’s essentially all that it does, and it’s very expensive.
A clarifying shampoo bought from a hair salon (i.e. one with good quality ingredients and no waxlike substances) will do just about as much to repromote hair growth as Provillus, Rogaine, or other products which contail Minoxidil, and it will cost a lot less and won’t have the side effects that the hair-loss products do.
Try one bottle (they cost between $7-12) for a month. Shampoo your hair once a day. Apply once, scrubbing and massaging the entire scalp, wait a couple of minutes while you continue showering, then rinse and apply briefly again (to pick up what the first application missed). Salon shampoos are generally very concentrated, and you don’t usually need to use much of them.
Understand that nothing is going to cause hair to grow again from shafts in which the hair follicle is totally dead. What the shampoo (or Minoxidil, I suppose) will do is allow any dormant-alive follicles to start growing hair again, and help healthy hair grow better (possibly thicker). Give it a go for at least a month. You might be surprised at the results (I was) and it won’t hurt your pocketbook like Minoxidil products do.
hey i just posted a long response and it was deleted, why?
Tim,
It read like clever spam and you followed it up by saying you wouldn’t post here about it again, so the comment wasn’t approved for posting.
like clever spam because i didn’t bash it without using it? man, what a waste of time. *sigh*
Tim,
I’ve been doing this site for a long time now and am used to seeing various ploys to get a marketing message posted. The content of your message might’ve been long, but you weren’t saying much.
suit yourself, i thought it was pretty fair considering what everyone else spouts off
dr, what have you heard about the new method follica is researching? i just looked into other treatments and stumbled on it, think it looks promising?
I will tell you what to update my progress. I am 24 years old 25 next week and I have been using provillus for about a month and a half now. No doubt about it this stuff works. I can already see my bald patch filling in with the hairs getting longer and more hairs are growing. So keep in mind this product might not work for you but there might be something else that does just experiment. My hairloss had completely stopped and my mom noticed when she cut my hair yesterday that she could see new hairs growing in on the back of my scalp. My best bet is dont wait until you no longer have any hair. It is rather difficult to grow hair back when it is completely lost and the follicle is gone. Half of you people sit here and knock down the product when you havent even tried it yet. Some of those sites are probably just advertisement to promote teh product which is good. I think the trust Jonathan one is real if you look at the two pics they are completely different in a few ways but thats my opinion. If you look up what cause mpb tahn you will see its dht. The maker\’s of provillus came up with an excellent supplement that fights exactly what we are looking for dht and regrows hair. They actually took the time to study hair loss. I have typed in different things that had to do with provillus and different things come up about it. It is rated number one on almost every site on the internet.
guys, i just logged in to warn ppl on this forum who are using provillus regularly. PROVILLUS CAUSES ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION. sometimes the symptoms are irreversible. be VERY careful. there are some things in life that are more important than hair…
Well done Justin. You are still young and are tackling the problem early. Very wise. I started using the Provillus very late (mid 50’s) and am doing the combo treatment as you can see by my previous posts. And I am about to put in another 6 month order before our dollar goes down any further :)
Regards
Kev
hair4life, thanks for your warning. It may affect some that way and I note your earlier post of advice to go on one pill a day. At the moment, I am fine on 2 per day but may tail off to one a day in the future. It certainly is helping me with the hair though.
Kev
So this question is directed at DAVE // Kev,
You guys seem to know what your talking about more then most of the people here. Looks like you both tried a lot of different things/combos so thought I would just clarify really quick what you think the best way to go is. So I am planning on getting the Provillus WITH the topical stuff that you apply to the balding areas. And I know you guys said mixing/adding to that seemed to show the biggest improvements for you. So I am also planning on getting the Nutrofolica as well like Kev was doing. And Kev you also were trying something else that you said was similar to rogain too.
So now my question is how do you go about applying all of those? Obviously you take the pills one in the morning and one at night. But what about all the topicals? Do you rotate them, or apply one in the morning one at night? Apply them all everyday? What would you recommend and does that sound like a good combination? Sorry about all the questions, you two just seem to be the most helpful/knowledgeable about everything.
Appreciate it!! Cheers
I ordered a 4 month supply of provillus. I have been on it for nearly a month and my hair loss hass worsened much much more. It seems very skeptical. I think im just going to use nioxin becz when i used the nioxin thinning shampoo kit my hair thickened and it didnt fall out nearly as much. Is your hair suppose to fall out when you first start with provillus or is that just me? plz help me.
I would like to help you guys, I really would, but I have been called a scammer for the last time by some P.O.S. called “LOL” (post 335). Does anyone defend me from such attacks? No. Only one person here knows I am honest and neutral and sticks up for me. Well, after all I’ve helped, that’s not enough.
When more of you pipe up in my defence I’ll consider posting again, otherwise I’m done with this site. And you can thank your skeptics for that. A lot of good they do.
hey ppl,
im trying 5% minox, 1% keto, emu oil, saw palmetto, and other vitamins including niacin, biotin, B-6, and zinc.
22 yrs old, Norwood 2. Got thinning halfway back from the hairline.
Don’t wanna use finasteride because it can make you gow tits and I already have puffy nipples, so F&*% that I’d rather be bald.
Good luck to all of you, and try to focus on your life and not what other people thing when they see your heads. I know that’s what I need to do.
ps – just look at the main ingredients of provillus and get it all yourself from CVS, save yourself some money. It’s all accessible, minus the “proprietary blend” part, which is more or less BS
– 2young
norwood 3 now. That was fast. I mean, faster than usual. I hope it’s shedding from the minox, but I’ve only been doing my regimen for under a week so that seems unlikely. I actually am going to keep results running on this page.

Hi JayB
Sorry I havn’t been here for a little while.
I hope it works out for you doing the combination treatments.
What I do is just a topical treatment just once a day and do the Nutrofolica one night, then minoxidil the other night. Refer to my posts 245, 270, 273 and 304.
In post 245 I refer to the minoxidil topical treatment and just to elaborate a little more, after I apply the minoxidil, I put a ‘hot wet’ comb through my hair (excessive water flicked off). I then rinse the comb in hot water in the basin (I have it pretty hot!), and then repeat quite a few times until most of the minoxidil residue in the existing hair has gone. Care being taken of course not to have water on the scalp as that will dilute the minoxidil.
This helps alleviate that terrible minoxidil greasy look on your hair the next day. Even then, by the next evening (by which time my scalp starts to get somewhat itchy) I’m really looking forwad to doing the Nutrofolica topical treatment because that is so good on the hair. I sometimes do a ‘hot wet comb’ on that but you don’t really need to. It’s so good for your hair with the natural ingredients.
But also, have a look at Dave’s posts and do what suits you. I just got my recent Provillus order and that will keep me going for yonks :-)
And that Nutrofolica, I found that it really lasts longer than what they say which works out very well cost wise.
Dave, I hope you carry on here as you have some tremendous advice, particularly for the extreme cases. You have far more experience than anyone else here so please don’t stop posting.
Regards
Kev
Hello,
Has anyone messaging here ever used the multiflora 713 solution. I originally found it on their website http://www.multiflora.co.uk but said website ceases to exist. I also can’t get in touch with them on the phone as their number no longer exists.
Does anybody know why?
Thanks in advance
Hello Dave,
I’m sorry you have been so abused on this forum, which I’ve just come across, for your opinions/advice on Provillus. I agree with you. Provillus works. It may not work for everybody but it worked for me. I’m female. I always had beautiful, thick glossy hair which I took for granted, so I did not get too alarmed when about fifteen years ago I noticed that my hair was falling at an abnormal rate. My hairdresser reasssured me by saying that I had so much hair that I would never go bald and I should not worry, etc., etc. etc. Eventually, I had to take notice as by then my hair was really thinning and thin instead of dense and thick as before. I tried Regaine, Ecophane, etc. without results. It was then, about three years ago, that I came across an article on Provillus and I immediately ordered a four months supply. The results were very promissing so I ordered another six months supply of capsules and 3 bottles of Provillus lotion. The results were amazing!!!. No more hair loss and new hair was growing all over my head. The new hair was also thicker and the overall difference was just unbelievable. Unfortunately, I discontinued the treatment for three months earlier this year while I was abroad and now I’m sad to say that my hair is getting thin again and I’m loosing quite a lot of it. So, I’ll be ordering Provillus again. It looks as if it I’ll have to take the capsules for the rest of my life! I shall be ordering another six months supply of Provillus. Unfortunately, Ultra Herbal has informed me that they are not allowed to send the lotion abroad because it contains Minoxidil. I cannot understand this prohibition because Minoxidil is freely available over the counter here in the UK.(Regaine and other brands are freely available without prescription).
To all those who are convinced that Provillus is a scam I can only say that from my own personal experience I know it worked for me in the past and I hope to see similar results with my next order.
Don’t knock it until you try. You may be pleasantly surprised. Nobody likes to be misled or to spend their hard earned cash in vain but… you can not be sure it wont work for you until you try it. So, if you have tried everything else on the market and had no joy what have you got to lose?
Regards to all
Madalena
Hello Andrew (post 350)
Don’t give up yet. Now that you mention it I seem to remember that I too was very confused when I noticed my hair falling more than usually when I started taking Provillus. However, after the first three weeks or so that stoped and I started to see improvements after three months.
Hope this helps
Madalena
I have a friend who used Scalp Med. He had extremely thining hair and about 4 months later of using the product he regrew his hair. (stopped wearing a hat). Then a year later he went back to his thinning hair and asked him what happened. He said he was tired of applying it each day and product was very expensive.
BTW. what are the active ingredients in Scalp Med?
As for my own expierence, After using generic monoxidil 2% and noixin shampoo/conditioner for 2 weeks, I noticed minor hair growing along the hair line and not sure about the crown. I just recieved 6 bottles of provillus (did not get the monoxidil with my order) and plan to use all products all together. I am pleased to see that I am responding to these products after 2 weeks, we’ll see what happens in 6 months.
I have tried provillus right to the direction for four months. I followed the routine steadfastly. My hair isn’t any thinner, but it isn’t noticeably filling in either.
My greater concern was the fact that the bottles sent to me seemed to be “old” I guess is the best way to put it. The safety seals were not well sealed and the capsules had cracks in them, etc…
I compared the ingredients (and the costs) to a number of other items. I found that “One-a-day vitamins for Men’s Health” contains all of the ingredients that the provillus tablets have except for saw palmetto, and additionally contains other vitamins that I should be supplementing myself with anyway. Then there is rogaine in addition to that.
I found that buying the one-a-day men’s health, the saw palmetto (with a brand that is backed and a dated so that I can view it before purchase), and the rogaine from my local drug store (and can obtain savings coupons for each) that I not only saved a considerable amount of the expense (almost half) but I am also avoiding some of the questions on this website of “watered down” rogaine or “snake oil” tablets.
Buying the name brands at the local store eliminates if any question of that being the case, is less expensive, is backed by companies (and in the case of one-a-day) the FDA, and if provillus is right about the combination being effective…then I get the same ingredients to do the job.
Just a thought…of course you still have to stick to the routine if you are going to venture the gain. Just another option for those (like me) that would rather have the backing of names behind them rather than deal with what sounds like frustration for many.
Heres what works and no bullshit
I ordered 4 months of provillus used it for a solid 4 weeks and my hair was getting dramatically worse. Then I read that if you combine both Rogaine and provillus topical solution once a night before you go to sleep then rinse it out in the morning and do this for a month you will see dramatic results. I am only in 12th grade but i did loads of drugs and my hair started to recede and recede like crazy and some assholes at school kept saying i was balding(very embarrassing) anyways i lost all hope and decided to try rogaine and provillus once a night before i went to sleep and a month later when i looked in the mirror all my bald spots had filled and my receded hair was mostly covered up so i just wanna put it out there and i also took the provillus supplements 4 a day, 2 in morning and at night while taking saw palmetto from GNC. and using expensive shampoo while taking zero drugs. Also when you are on rogaine and provillus your hair may seem to start to fall out like crazy but really that hair was already going to fall out down the road and the provillus/rogaine is making it fall out to grow new healthy follicles. So dont freak out if your hair starts to really fall out for the first 2 weeks to month then it stops when you take like a week break from adding it to your hair. good luck it worked for me.
OK OK – WOW LONG BLOG. THANKS EVERYBODY FOR TAKING THE TIME TO POST. TODAY IS SEPTEMBER 25TH 2008. I’M WRITING IN CAPLOCKS TO STICK OUT FROM THE CROWD. I’M 28 AND AM BALDING IN THE FRONT AND TOP OF MY HEAD – TYPICAL I GUESS. BALDING SUCKS EH GUYS. I FEEL FOR YOU ALL AND CAN ONLY OFFER YOU A SIMPLE HOPE THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD TURN THIS NEGATIVE INTO A POSITIVE BY GAINING CONFIDENCE IN OTHER THINGS THEN OUR APPEARANCE. HOW ABOUT OUR PERSONALITY, OUR HEALTH OR OUR ACHIEVEMENTS. IT’S JUST HAIR GUYS! LOT’S OF FAMOUS PEOPLE ARE BALD. THAT BEING SAID THOUGH – DOESN’T MEAN WE CAN PLAY WITH SOME PRODUCTS AND TRY SOME THINGS OUT. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING PROVILLUS – I AM ONLY ON MY THIRD DAY. I PROMISE TO POST MY RESULTS MONTHLY AND GIVE YOU GUYS HONEST UPDATES. I TAKE THE PILL IN THE MORNING AND AT NIGHT WITH NO TOPICAL. I DON’T MIND JUST TRYIN 1 SOLUTION FOR 6 MONTHS BECAUSE I’VE COME TO TERMS WITH THE FACT THAT I AM GOING BALD…IT’S ALL GOOD – WE ARE WHO WE ARE. BALDING WITH YOU – MIKE
SORRY – TYPO ABOVE – MEANT “THAT BEING SAID THOUGH – DOESN’T MEAN WE ***CAN’T*** PLAY WITH SOME PRODUCTS AND TRY SOME THINGS OUT”.
I’LL KEEP IN TOUCH!
I’ve been using provillus(just the pills no topical solution of any kind)for just over a month. So far I don’t notice any hair re-growth but withing two weeks I already noticed that my hair is definitely stronger as it no longer falls out while brushing. I have less hair on brush after a month of using provillus than I used to get in a week prior to using it. Now mind you I’ve pretty much hit the peek of my baldness(it seems I have the hair genetics of my father to which my brother has the same which means we still have hair that is just thinned out a bit and our hair line which was high and a v in the first place receded a little more)I wish I had used it earlier to prevent the thinning that happened but my hair is still manageable and style able. I hope that I start to notice some hair re-growth though as I want my hair to be fuller as it once was because it will be tough to decide whether or not I want to order another 6 month supply if it’s only decreasing the hair fall out especially when it appears that I wont lose anymore hair anyways. Anyways it’s only been a month so we’ll see were I’m at in 3-4 months of usage and will keep you updated at that time.
Hi Guys, J from Australia. age 34
Been using the product for just over 4weeks still have fairly healthy hair but just lossing it at the front which i not happy about. Havent notice any improvement but still early days. Have wasted alot of money of different kinds of product so i said to myself i give this a go. For me if i can just slow or even stop the process of more hair falling out i will be happy. will keep you updated posted
I Started Balding at 19 and for 2 years i used revivogen and i can’t say it hurt…but it didn’t exactly regrow any hair. Finally I started looking at something new because I didn’t want to be bald. I started using Provillus about 3 weeks ago and I’ve been shedding like crazy! However when rub my fingers through my hair i feel a prickly sensation all throughout my scalp…Can someone tell me if this means its working or is it nothing and I’m getting my hopes up for nothing!
Seriously…Can someone help to clarify why im shedding so badly? What does that mean?
hey guys,
Im 23 and been losing alot of my hair lately. I noticed I was losing hair at 20. Now its just ridiculous how much its falling out. I used Life Fitness pills (Hair,Skin and Nails). That thickened my hair where it wasnt so brittle, but didnt stop the hair loss. I heard nothing but good about Provillus before, so i bought one months worth to see if it worked. Well ive been using it for 3 days now, and i think its making things worse. My hair seems to be thinning more and my scalp is tingling a bit. I think im losing more hair now from using it. Maybe this is a product that makes you lose hair, or its just my scalp adjusting to the pills and topical solution. I dont know…….but ill keep you up to date, bc if this keeps up im dropping it.
Everyone-what will be helpful is when telling their stories on whether the Provillus works or not is to also to state what stage of hair loss each of you are at….completely bald, bald except on the sides or just thinning. I seriously do not think if you are completely bald, anything will work but hair transplants. I have receding hair at the temples but I have a full head of hair. I have noticed that when I wash my hair, I definitely have more hair on my hands and it feels thinner. I’m 38 yrs old so this is natural. I am trying Provillus to seem if I can stop the hair from falling out more and not hoping or expecting for more regrowth and maybe the thickness people are claiming. I feel like I can afford the $200 for 6 months so I am going to try it and let everyone know. I think its important that everyone shouldn’t be so upset if it doesn’t work and say it is a scam, we are all different, different diets, blood types, etc and I do believe what will work for some won’t work for others. I do believe that those websites with stories can be the companies behind those sites/testimonials but again, if you can afford it, try it and find out for yourself. I received a Anti-dandruff shampoo first that I did read about online when researching Provillus and after one use, it does make you hair more fluffy instead of flat. I can’t say that may hair is thicker by using it yet but just started. So its a good shampoo for the texture of your hair I think anyways. I will not state the name of it because I’m sure some people might think I’m from the company promoting it or something. I am not planning on using the minoxidel liquid at this time just the pills. What I’ve read about it, is you get some peach fuzz and your hair may fall out at first, I’m afraid it may not come back so I’m not risking that. I’ll let everyone know how it works, I just started taking the pills.
How do i take the pills?
Two at the same time? or should i take one in the morning and one at the lunch.
Thank’s
This is no B.S. I am 41 years old (Asian). Started to lose hair in the early 30’s. Suffered from thinning hair, falling hair, lost 30% of my hair in front (hair line) and crown. Tried Saw Palmetto and Biotin. Did not work. After so many blogs and research, I decided to try 3 things at the same time. Procerin (tablets), Costco Monoxidol 5% (topical solution) and Nisim Shampoo. After 4 months into it, hair is significantly thicker, very minimal falling hair, crown is covered with hair again, and new hair is growing in front. My wife was very afraid I would lose my hair. Not anymore.
Just a follow up from the last one. I’ve been reading some of the articles here. So here is my take. You have to be patient. Its unlikely for it to happen in one month. Your bad hair is suppose to shed and be replaced with new ones. I experienced the same thing. But after month 2.5 to 3, hair started to fill in. Even the bald spots in front are growing new hair. Currently, I have to use a anti-Frizz to smoothen my hair and make it silky because its too thick sometimes. Its nuts but its true. And here is the best thing, my hair dresser was so amazed that she asked for the products I am using to tell her other clients. Remember, I use 3 things – Procerin Tablets, Monoxidol 5% topical solution and Nisim Shampoo. I am pretty excited about the next 6 months. Hope this helps.
(40 year old male) Ive been using minoxidil 2% & Nioxin shampoo / conditioner for 1.5 months and noticed peach fuzz hair along my hair line. Added provillus (1 month now)and I am noticing thick full strands starting to grow on various areas along my hair line. My hair did get thinner the first two weeks of Provillus and stopped. I guess I could be one of the lucky ones. Hopefuly I can get my full hair back by next year. My hair loss could be stress related and I’m not stressed anymore (broke up with girlfriend, ha ha}.
Hi!
I’m back!
I have 25 years and i’m from Romania.
I use the provillus pills,one in the morning and one when i go to sleep.
I use and Nizoral shampoo with some iron pills.
I wear all the time a hat on my head,because i started to loose my hair from the front.
Now i’m very happy,after almost ten days of provillus my hair is growing back on my entire head.I have a white-yellow hair and the bald area and in the rest my hair is very stronger .The only side effect i have seen is the growing of hair on the other sides of the body(hands,feets,etc.)and some head pain,but not so powerfull.But i am very,very happy with the effect for now,it’s just almost ten days and i reallt see the changins.
Without with this supplement my life is full of s…t.
I think it’s working for me.
Have a nice day and thank you God i found this.
:* to all
has anyone used Zulvera shampoo? i’ve been using nioxin for a few years now i dont really see any improvement. i have been advised to use rogaine 5% but have been really undecided about it due to all the negative reviews.
Hello gents, and some ladies i guess.
I’m going to try and make this as short as possible. I’ve read 85% of these posts and decided to throw in my 2c.
First off, any of you who are younger-Id say below the age of 30 – especially early 20s and are starting to lose your hair- you will..continue to lose your hair no matter what you take. You just dont realize how many hair follicles there are. I had great full hair when I was younger-started losing at 18- I lost quite a bit every day- always in the bottom of the damn tub after a shower.. very depressing. It wasnt until I hit around 30 that It became noticeable..
I tried the helsinki treatment and then rogaine/then the generic minoxodil- I didnt find any regrowth and at that time it was way over priced.
I saved up my cash and went and got a transplant-when i was 34. I didn’t realize at the time that two transplants are needed for best results. Anyway- those transplants are tried and true- and the price has come down- so if you have 5k and arent UNhealthy or a drug user/alcoholic- that would be your best bet.
So it has been about 6 years now and before spending money on another transplant I decided to give provillus a try- because of the pill+topical rogaine.
Also I read that saw palmetto was good to keep the prostate from getting larger-
I personally had no bad effects on provillus/ yes the rogaine does leave a residue on your scalp. But I have been very surprised at seeing smaller fuzzy hair growing in-(This on the frontal top and sides!-something rogaine alone will not do-)I have been on the product for 3 months- i started seeing results in 2 months- the fuzzy hair seems to be getting thicker- if it all go’s away then im sol.. but im going to keep going.
just remember- if your really young- face it- you wont ever have a full head of hair again- but this stuff might help you keep enough not to look like a chump- some guys look good with a shaved head- I dont- I want hair. If I really wanted to spend another 5 k-Id go in for the second transplant today- its not that bad and its the thing that works
best. Provillus is doing what it says it does for me. itll never grow hair like you want -but its filling in the spaces between the transplant and making it look better- I am 40 yrs old.
And one more positive thing for us older dudes- I can urinate like a race horse now- shows me signs my prostate isnt as enlarged as before. I also have had no side effects in the bed room-
good luck.
Hey everyone
I’ve read some pretty interesting comments on here but have to say that i have been taking Provillus capsules for 1 month and have already had great results. I am 28 and had the receeding sides and thinning on the top but since taking Provillus the thinning areas have started to fill out and one side of the receeding areas has fully retured while the other side is still catching up.
Wow, at this point my head is spinning not knowing what to think. But for all the money spent, I will give it 4 months to figure out what, if any, results happen for me.
If it does not work, then it was not for me.
Hi! I can’t believe I actually read this whole comments section. Must have taken hours!
I’m 29, have thinning hair on the very top, and crown, but no full bald spots as yet. Luckily, I may not have any dead follicles yet. The thinning has been going on since about 25, but has seemed to escalate in tempo over the last year or two. Today I decided it was time to take action while my chances of success seem to be greatest.
I still don’t know what to think of this Provillus, but I think I’ll hold off just a bit. The doctor just gave me 40 free Proscar pills, so I’m going to try that. Also, I decided to toss out my Nioxin because it has Sodium Laureth Sulphate in it, as well as Propylene Glycol. Plus it didn’t seem to make a lot of difference. Maybe because I didn’t religiously use the full system…. I just got Avalon organic shampoo today. So I’ll try those two first, maybe throw in some provillus in the new year.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom about what I’m proposing or anything else? Dave? Kev? Anyone?
Thanks for all the posts folks, and good luck! I’ll post any results here I promise. I may also try and take pictures as I go along and post them somewhere.
After finding this site 6 months ago and reading the comments I decided not to go with Provillus for personal reasons. 52 yrs old and used to have very thick hair, then about 8 yrs ago thinning in the front a little bit and quite a bit in the crown.
For what it’s worth here’s what I’ve done: Like you guys, researched around and decided to go with a product called Hair Genesis. You take 2 pills a day. Has Biotin and Saw Palmetto to block DHT etc. Now 3 months into that. I don’t think I have any new growth yet, but haven’t lost anything either. Hair looks and feels more full and healthy like vitamins for the hair or something. Disclaimer on this product. For me it seemed to affect my sexual performance a little. Wasn’t expecting that. My boners weren’t quite as hard with my wife and my ejaculations sometimes have a slight delayed action, I have countered this by using Viagra for the first time.
2. Understanding the power of our subconscious minds, I ordered a MP3 that i have on my ipod that plays a hair growth hypnosis audio. It’s done by a pioneer in that field, a guy named Konikov. The 2nd and 3rd parts of the audio have orchestra music interlayed with subliminal messages designed to spur more hair growth. Before you guys think this is hokus pokus, realize that there is a definite link between the mind and body. If you think about a Lemon right now, your tongue will salivate a little bit/ Most nights I listen to this audio and fall asleep to it. But that’s not a problem because the subconcious brain soaks up all the messages irregardless. Also on the hypnosis mode, a couple times a day I like to do affirmations to myself.”I have a full, healthy head of hair.” Our minds can create our own reality.
3. My hot asian hairdresser suggested that I use a brush to massage my scalp everyday now that I’m taking the hair vitamins, so I’ve also incorporated that.
4. And finally i only use laurel sulphite free shampoos.
With this regimen I hope to maintain what I have on my head. Anything gained I will consider a net plus, seeing that I’m not spending much money on that regimen. Good luck with your own regimens fellas.
Hi
After 2 months of Provilus after 2 months of Procelin, I can’t say they work at all. I’m sure it has in many ways quickened up the process. I think the only way to ensure you get the best treatment is go to the pharmacy or seek some professional advice. It’s madness to me that something so common and relatively easy to prevent cannot be done effectively and safely in this day and age. I will use what I have paid for with Provilus but will not use it again.
Best wishes to you all.
guys each treatment works seperately to each individuals . if you are completely bold you are not going to get good result from any treatment exept hair transplant. why you guys all of you don’t have logic and reason , if one treatment doesn’t work for one person it might work for others. please neglect all what have been said before and neglect all reviews, and read someone who has a flawless logic.who test and succeed
first if you get sick, depressed you will loose your hair. due to any trama you will regain it back by using any treatment whether it is good or no, but if you are completely bold or close to it you are not going to have result nor with provillus nor with laser hair comb nor with any treatment what soever, if you are completely bold or you are loosing hair immensly nothing is going to bring back your hair it might help a little and that is about it . i will say something but it might sound weird if u want to keep your hair or make it strong or rescusitate week follicule be careful not dead.
the only thing can reverse the male homrone and raise the female hormone which will help you if you really wants to keep your hair and it is the best method close to hair implant but not multiply it , because if you have a bold area that’s it it is dead only god can bring a hair in it or hair implant. if you want to keep your hair strong and rejuvenate all what you have lost .
first don’t use any shampoo whatsoever because every shampoo is brimmed with chemicals please trust me. use olive oil soap fragrance free don’t use gel it will suffocate your hair or any foam etc. if you are a male please don’t be embarassed take female hormone with very low dosage 1 mg or 0.5 so you won’t grow breast, very low dosage and take one pill of spiranolactone or any DHT BLOCKER I GUARANTEE YOU ANY CASE YOU HAVE OR ANY PERSON YOU ARE YOU WILL BE SATISFY AND you will thank me .that is the only way or you are wasting your time with products . you will SAY THANK YOU AFTER THAT AND PLEASE DON’T EAT TOO MUCH JUNK FOOD OR TOO MUCH MEAT STAY HEALTHY STAND ON YOUR HEAD exercise i meant SO THE BLOOD WILL GO DOWN AND UP IT WILL REJUVENATE YOUR BLOOD SYSTEM AND FOLLICULEs . AND I GUARANTEE YOU YOU HAIR WILL STOP FALLING AND BECOME THICKER AND MORE VOLUMINOUS AND EVERYTHING YOU LOST IT WILL COME BACK . TRUST me completely . but if you are bold now it is too late sorry but if you are in the process of loosing your hair act immediately even though your sex drive will decrease a little it is ok . don’t forget no one should live for their private part . get your hair back and don’t waste money on laser hair comb or products is like hitting the jackpot
I was suspected that “Balding Tony” might be a shill. I tried the product anyway – $150 for 6 months seemed like a modest trial cost. Five months later… No side effects. The daily routine, topical solution plus vitamins, is pretty simple. The topical solution is not gooey, and the smell is very minor and not objectionable. For me, the results have also been very minor. My hair loss in the shower has been reduced to practically none. My thinning hair seems a little thicker and I have to get a haircut a little more often. No new growth on the hairline (none promised) and little or no new growth on the crown. I suspect that in my case the zinc and magnesium in the vitamins may have improved the health of my hair and stopped the hair loss, but probably not reversed the balding. I plan to look at the drug store for cheaper alternatives. If the hair loss returns, I’ll be back to Provillus. My opinion: If you want to try something cheap, Provillus might work for you. Don’t expect too much and you won’t be disappointed.
Guys,
I am 22. I am loosing my hair at a very slow rate. I have no bold spots, but I am sure I will have in a few years. I just wanted to know how long will i be using Provillus – forever?
I am currently taking the pill form only. I have been taking it for a month and a half and yet to see any results. I also bought Nizoral shampoo because I heard that helps with the combination of the pill. I ordered Provillus, but living in Canada exempts me from receiving the solution.
Does anyone know if just taking the pill along with Nizoral shampoo will help?
Thanks
R
Hey all,
Have any of you heard of Micron laboratories?
I went in for a free consultation and they said that I have a scalp condition where I am unable to naturally exfoliate my dead skin cells on the top of my scalp. This layer builds up over time causing my follicles to become plugged. When the follicle plugs up, it becomes inflammed and bacteria proliferate. Along with DHT, this causes the follicle to minaturize, weaken, the hair and fall out. Their treatment plan is to use a topical solution to dissolve the dead skin, inhibit DHT, open up the follicles, and clean out the excess oil and bacteria promoting an environment where the hair can thicken and thrive.
What do you think about this?
Zach
I had a question for Dave, did provillus work for your wife?. I am a woman and losing hair on the top of my head(like is I was going bald; just like a guy), I’m only 25. I ordered the 4mth provillus for women, I was quite dissapointed that the serum, minoxidil, didn’t come with the pills. Does it work without the serum,if you only take the pills??…I couldn’t even find it to order it on their official site. I was a bit discouraged about some things I read here but I’m still gonna try it and give it the best shot.:D
Well, it has been a month and I can say that I have not see any re-growth. However, my hair is fuller and I have seemed to stop losing my hair. I am still hoping for some re-growth around the hair line, but to this point no. My wife has noticed the balding area around the crown of my head is getting smaller, so something is working.
Hi Alice
My wife doesn’t have any noticible loss, but because of heredity and we’re in our 40’s we thought we’d try it for her to see if grew more hair, or at least kept her as-is. I think it has kept her as-is, but I’m not sure if anything more happened, or should. But she had no topical to try either. You can get some Rogaine off eBay…it’s cheap there.
Anyway, being the curious types we are, I’m having her try Sephren next. I’ll let you know what happens.
Dave
Well that lasted like two days. She hated the topical since it was heavy, but the pills look almost the same as Provillus so we’re going to see if she can keep those.
I have been trying Provillus for nearly 3 months now and have not noticed any regrowth whatsoever as yet. I started using Regaine about a 6 months ago as i started noticing my hair was getting less and less thick on top and began to get worried. Using Regaine for about 2 months didn’t do anything, as hair fell out, i don’t know if that is because it was going to fall out anyway or not, but i stopped using Regaine after 2 months as I didn’t want to lose any more hair just in case it was that what was causing the continued falling.
I then went onto provillus and have been using that for 3 months now, i haven’t noticed any loss or gain up to now, don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing to be honest….
I’ve got a decent amount of hair on my head still, no obvious bald spots but when my hair is wet you can see through to my scalp on the top of my head and my crown which i have significantly noticed in the past few months, i’ve always had really thick hair on top until recently. I’ve ordered another 3 months provillus and will keep you posted
Still using the pills and dropper…my hair is staying, which was not the case before using it. Will keep you posted.
I used provillus for about 4 months before I noticed any results,some people say they notice results in one or two months,not me.It was not an amazing miracle but my hairline in the front started to creep forward.Provillus is kind of expensive but I ordered another 6 months supply,hope its worth it.
provillus rocks.i have been using other hair loss products and i wasn’t satisfied in addition to suffering it’s side effects.i will tell you to go for provillus.people will talk negative about it even tho they have not tried the product.
Whether it works or not, i really wouldn’t want to buy from a company who pulls off such ‘fake website scams’. They seem too untrustworthy even by greedy company standards.
i am 25, i started losing my front hair since i was 17. my frontal baldness is getting kinda bad. so far not really bald. but everyday when i comb my hair or wash my hair, i see lots of hair falling out. if my hair continue to fall out like this, i will really be bald by the age of 30.
well, i see lots of positive and negatives comments here. now i am really in dilemma, should i buy it or not? some people say those who post positive comments are those who work for provillus or bogus websites. on the other hand, some say those who post negative comments are those who work for other hair loss companies. of course they cannot give recommendation. otherwise it would make them very obvious. sigh! looks like i will just have to accept my baldness then.
I’ve been using Provillus for about 5 months with pretty good results. I have thinning hair but not bald and it is filling in the receding areas gradually. I just ordered a 6 month supply but I noticed the minoxidil is in newer white bottles instead of the blue clear bottles. I also noticed the minoxidil smells less acidic and more of a oil substance. Does anybody know if there is any difference or its less stronger?????????
Anyone used REGROWTH
OK. i bought 1 bottle. on the label, one line says, “continue to use is necessary or hair loss will begin again.”
what? does that mean i will have to use it for the rest of life if i wanna keep my hair?
Rax, yes. Same as all other treatments.
Ladies,
Please let me know if ANY products worked for you. Tell your story. I’m a 25 year old woman and there is not one day that goes by withough looking at my thin hair and practically crying about it. My confidence level at work, with my friends has decrease substantially. I’m more shy because i don’t want people to look at my scalp. It’s depressing. Please tell me what worked for you. At this point, I WILL DO ANYTHING. I’ve tried, rogaine, and other hair loss products. I even went to a hair loss specialist and all they did was put chemicals on my head, a hot pad, and a vibrator. Paid 100 per session. It was ridiculous. So please ladies, tell your story.
Thank you.
YES – or at least use it until someone is decent enough to cure this fucker. I’ll say this here too – I’ve been on and off these types of sites for about 8 years and it seems like the conversation hasn’t progressed 1 iota. People are still pissed or depressed and everyone is confused.
It’s really weak to see.
It’s been like 6 years since I’ve looked at all this and still there haven’t been any success stories for everyone to latch onto.
I know there was an admin or someone over at regrowth.com right? Who posted his success, correct? Is he still growing hair like a maniac? Or that guy that wrote the health book, Gary Null — he described regrowing his hair using veggie powder in veggie drinks.
Maybe the ones who find out a ‘cure’ just run off and enjoy life and so this pot is always the same mix of people. I wish people would leave a bread crumb trail or something for the rest of us to follow.
Someone provide some of the BEST links they’ve found. And Kudos to this blog for having an ‘open comment’ policy.
I’m so mad that I found this website 40 minutes after I finished ordering this crap… Lot of people wrote how much of a scamming company provillus is , but since i already ordered i wanted to be optimistic about it and try it once i get it. …. So today, I received Provillus. Guys, please. DONT ORDER PROVILLUS. If you go to their website, it clearly says 2 months supply for free with the purchase of 4 MONTH supply. Therefore, should receive 6 months supply. So i called them right away and told them i didnt receive the extra 2 months supply. This is what the guy told me… “you have to buy 6 months supply then you’ll get the 2 months supply for the price of 4month… ” Then i told him “on your website it clearly says 2months supply with the purchase of 4 months, not 6 months…” then he started stuttering… -_- are you kidding me? Then i thought to myself, how can i trust this product if those people can’t even hold responsible for what they write on their site… So now i’m just scared to return it, because I’m afraid they wont give me the money back since lot of people seemed to have problems with it. (from previous comments.. I read all of them)
By the way, if you’re having a frontal baldness like me, don’t get it. On the box, it says not intended for frontal baldness or a receding hairline. Only for vertex balding. Guys, I don’t know what to do, because if i do try it, after 4 months, I dont want to get any more product from this scamming company, and I think if i stop after 4months, my hairs going to all fall out…
Dave didnt read all of the post but you seem like a genuine guy who’s tried the products and is getting honest results. I’m 21 and have recently found my hair is really starting to thin so I ordered two months supply of provillus and i really hope it works. I can see how it may need help from other products too because we all know that reality is there is no one hit wonder product out there just a variety of products that work. Really appreciate all the comments that you have made and tips for guys who are brand new too dealing with this problem. Keep responding to post and one question some guy came on saying that provillus causes permanent erectile problems is this true ?
hey guys,
im 20 years of age and have been losing my hair since i was 16.I dont know whether to spend my money on this product because of the reviews on this site!i feel pretty crap about losing my hair,because most guys my age wouldnt have to think about anything like this.plus confidence can be low some times when it is windy!
I will probably just shave my head and try get over it.
What do you find to be the best hair regrowth product for the money?
Sam-Proscar is the best bang for the buck (See post 229).
Ok, so i decided to just keep the provillus because as I mentioned earlier ( 413 ), their return policy is really bad. So its been almost 1 month since i used this. so far, not so good. No hair growth, and it seems as if more hairs are falling out. wells, for sure, it’s not slowing down hair loss… and again, its not for your frontal hair loss. I’m going to keep using it though for 3 more months, since i have 3 more bottles… -_- hopefully it’ll get better.
Provillus DOES work!! I was reading all this negative
stuff so I feel I must give credit where it is due. MY
experience was within 1 month , I did feel the peach fuzz.
I have been using it about 4 months and I can say I don’t
see the hair in my hands and drain as I did before during my showers. I cannot honestly tell you my hair is fully grown back but my hairdresser even did notice the last time that I am beginning to fill in. I guess everyone reacts differently but it is worth trying for just a month and if you
get positve results continue and if not try another option.
For me, I believe!
Hi Daryl here. I’m 27 and like my dad and both grandfathers my hair is going fast. It started about 2 years ago and I hate it. I tried saw palmento for a few weeks about a year ago, but I didn’t notice any difference. Maybe I should have kept using it longer…
I hear a bunch of good and bad about Provillus. I don’t know, it’s worth a shot to me. I can’t stand seeing my hair receding. I found their free trial website if anyone else is interested. I’m gonna give it a try. I’ll let everyone know how it goes.
Daryl
Wow interesting posts on Provillus
I personally own a website promoting such products and its interesting to see people bashing them. But what I do know is that everything I promote I have tried, the same company that sells provillus sells male enhancement products which there are ones that I have also tried and some I have not had the desired results, But then again Viagra, Rogaine etc also have different results for different chemistries everyone is different.
When I was younger in my twenties my dad bought me rogaine and as with provillus as long as I continued to use it it worked jus
it as provillus does.
The way i look at things is I am always willing to try something new and eventually I will find something that does work, what i have spent on herbal products will not compare otherwise to what I would have spent say on hair transplants or other surgical procedures.
So being neutral, as with everything else different people will have different results, stuff that has not worked for me I have given to my friends or relatives only to find out they continue to purchase because of the positive results they have had from X product.
As far as a refund, well when I buy online , if its less than 200 bucks I am willing to cut my loss upfront and take the risk and no I am far from being wealthy.
Cheers!
Jeff
Wow – what a lot of banter – just took me well over an hour to read! I’m still undecided…
Gerry I know you are undecided, and yes what a banter but Provillus sells a one month supply for like 40 dollars, do what I did try it for a month and then you will know for yourself that it is not a scam its kind of funny that the people complaining about spending 200 bucks on the product are complaining about refunds, provillus is no different than say weight loss products or anything else I sure the hell am not going to fork out a ton of cash on something I have not tried and never had always try a minimum before you comit to something that may or may not work.
Jeff
SCAM doesn’t even begin to describe what Provillus is. They are an offshore company that “knocks off” other legitimate products (some would say counterfeit) and pass them off as their own. They rebill credit cards without your permission, and steal study data, testimonials, and even their ingredient lists from other companies. They use multiple different company names to try to hide their scams (Ultra Herbal, Provillus, Market Health, Provillus for Men, etc) and sell alot of other pill products, most of which are a scam. Don’t fall for the Provillus scam, find a legitimate hair loss approach that doesn’t rely on a company with shady business practices.
Hi Jibby
Just wondering who you are dealing with here? What website(s)? Do you have any proof as these are pretty serious claims?
As for me, I have been using the product for about a year and there’s no doubt about it, I am getting some re-growth (using minoxidil and nutrifolica topical product as well). And I am in my 50’s so that’s not too bad I would say.
I havn’t seen my credit card billed extra either in my dealings so far either.
Regards
Kev
Can people please take photos and post them with their results. Every site I see where people swear by this product lack photos. They have ONE before and ONE after picture, which are usually too small/dark/out of focus to see the actual results. Come on people, it’s the digital times, it’s not hard to take a picture every week/month of your hair.
One thing I find suspicious is “why” if Provillus actually works do they have such a scam return policy. If you read their “guarantee claim” carefully you will see they say that they only accept returns on “unopened bottles” and even then they charge you a “fee” of $10 per bottle for each unopened bottle returned. If the product “really worked” why not have a real guarantee? My hair stylist sold me a new product from Bumble and Bumble and Estee Lauder, (two respectable companies) They have a line of products called Bb Treatment Density Therapy. It will “not” grow hair, but it claims to “stop” hair loss. It “is” expensive, about $110 for the 3 bottles which are 1-cleanser 2-conditioning cream 3-complex. I don’t know whether it will work or not but i’m going to try. You can also go onto ebay and find it for cheaper than they sell it for in salons. I am thinking about trying provillus, but am worried about whether or not I will be able to keep up the twice daily application. My hair however is “not” balding. it is simply very fine and thin but I still have a complete full head of hair.
Hi guys i’m not fluent in English I hope you will get me right
I have started using provllus and It will be difficult for me to explain the results.
So I decided to take photos and if someone is interested I will send them. (start date 06.06.09)
Let’s see.
hi guys i have been using provillus for 2years now my hair has not gotten any hasn’t gotten any worse since but also hasnt grown any more either the pills have always been the same in color but with my last order the substance inside the pill has changed from a brownish granular form, to a whitish powder strange to change consistency after all this time has the levels of potency changed maybe??
doing some homework on this
hi guys, glad i stumbled on this site, thought about getting a provillus & zulvera, at the moment i’m using this product called “Ultimate hair growing tonic” which i bought in manila philippines which is exclusive only from Watsons (a big drug store/chemist/pharmacy) i started using it back in august last year by applying twice a day everyday, and by december my dad-in-law who came for a visit noticed about my hair looking healthier and thicker and the bald spot somehow obscured and some significant hair growth. By Jan my supply ran out so i stopped using it, then a few months later i noticed that i’m shedding hair again so i ordered a few bottles again and got them last month. been using it for 3 weeks now but im getting tired of doing this everyday so im looking for a pill alternative that’s why im thinking of getting provillus, it might work for me.
btw the one im using has the ff ingredients:
biotin, keratin, vit a,e,f,h,b3,b6, thymus extract,calcium panthothenate, aloe vera, henna, avocado, coconut milk, nettle extract, wheat protein
made by fresherb philippines
Jusinto, I have been at this for 20 years and have tried a lot of things. All I can say now is see my post #395. It’s a cheap and effective combo. Wish I knew of it when I was your age.
Dave, if i take provillius, do i ve to take it for the rest of life for it to work
I suggest you wait for stemcell research :) its the ONLY cure
I was about to spend the $$ but got to this site and decided against it. I love the Internet!!!
A product available to purchase at a hair salon works very well. It is called Nioxin. I had alapecia a few years back and my stylist recomended the product. I quickly noticed results and it is now fully grown in. I will mention that you have to use the shampoo treatments faithfully (ie: dont use it one day and use your regular shampoo the next). It has not only made my bald spots fill in, it has made my hair thicker.
Soumya, see my post #415.
heyy justin provillus user do you still check thos blog?
was interested in knowing your results of provillus use?
Anyone have before and after pics?
Oh and one more thing, I honestly dont care if I dont get any growth I just want to make what I have a little thicker and I will be happy.
Been trying provillus for just over 6 weeks now and have noticed effects…….my hair is thinner and falling out more than before ;-( will keep trying but its looking bad. My hair is thinning out at front and receeding. Ordered prostar 1mg to take as a combi as in post #395 if your combi works Dave i will buy you a dozen beers. cant find the shampoo though anyone know a great shampoo to thinken hair. Also, started on regaine 5% boy is my head irritated is this normal? Also, is 5% ok for receeding front as it doesn’t show that on any diagrams? should i and can i thin down the % by adding surgical spirit or an alcohol base?? would be cheaper.
Please help and advise
Cheers Dave UK will keep you all honestly posted and take pics to send if anyone is interested.
Hey Dave UK, see post #369 regarding fallout. Good luck man!
A second questen, do any of you know some websites, which I can trust? With real research and no hidden agenda?
Sebastian I know exactly how you feel mate and I have had recurring dreams loosing my teeth which is related to appearance worries and hair loss. I know it is no consellation mate but I have read tons about all manner of products and visited loads of sites that contradict each other. It would appear to me that only finesteride (proscar, Fincar etc) as prescribed by doctors and minoxidil (rogaine / regaine)are the chosen treatments for male pattern hair loss. Provillus seems to have people talking and debating and seems to work for some as a DHT blocker but as yet I cant comment on any of them until I see signs of improvement. I am using those I mention now and will keep everyone posted. But bottom line is try what you like mate but the top 3 remedies other than just living with it or chosing surgery are your only real options for now.
But best try something than nothing in my opinion as at least you would have tried early on..They say leaving too late is not a good move.
Dave
Ok so 1 month of Provillus is done, and I think my hair has gotten worse. I know I will continue the 6 month trial but I think its a crock of shit. I dont think anything can help besides a transplant. All Provillus does is use Minoxidle same as using rogain. Leaves tons of pimples on my head. Well ill let you know again next month.
My boyfriend is 34 and has been using Provillus for 4 months. He was thinning at the sides and crown. Two pills a day morning and night and 5% minoxidil solution twice a day. It was slow and hairs did fall out to begin with but they tell you this in the instructions so I dont know why people are surprised by this. They also tell you that it can take a minimum of 6 months so people who claim to have had no results after a month or so is hardly surprising. His sex-drive has not been affected. His scalp is now covered in vellous hairs (stronger peach fuzz) which I hope will become darker as he is brown elsewhere so from a distance he still looks quite bald on top. Could anyone tell me if the hairs can become darker or if they remain blonde. I have suggested dyeing the hairs but he isnt having any of it.
Anonymous, I think it will act like regular hair in time. My new hair achieved a normal brown all by itself. Good points BTW.
hiii anybody out here,somebody on this blog has mentioned provillus can cause erectile dysfunction..is it true?i ve just received the order..now i am concerned..and early response will be appreciated…
Hello, I’ll share my experience with you..
I am 40 yrs old. I first started to notice balding on my crown area after viewing HD video of my swordplay with kids. I could see balding on back of my head on top. So I took picture directly on top of my hair and was shocked how much hair I lost in short time. The hair loss seems to accelerate pretty fast at age of 39 (last year). My motto as an engineer is: “If I see a problem, I fix it”. So I had to fix this hairloss problem and did lot of researches last Spring and came up with best approach I could find: Provillus.. One of the researches also stated that best candidate for optimal result on hair recovery is guys WHO are just starting to lose hair.. I was one of those guys so I was excited and ordered with hopes high because the scientific approach to heal those focilles were sound and lot of positive feedback from customers. I had nothing to lose. Basically, if I don’t try, I am guaranteed to lose more hair.. If I try, I have chance to save my hair AND chance to recover some or all hair back.
First two months, I didn’t notice much but I remembered that first 2 months normally lose hair more OR no change or minor hair recovery. To me, first month, no further hair loss (whew) then 2nd month, I was excited that I could see little thicker hair on my top.. But I’m now on 4th month.. The result is MUCH more noticable right after 3rd month.. I nolonger could see balding on my crown and top of scalp.. It’s just gone.. I also am not used to feel thicker hair on the top.. I felt like young guy again. :) By the way, I started working out at age of 39 and now am well-built guy. I suspect that working out might help to accelerate the hair recovery process on my scalp due to better blood circulation and better food diet?? By the way, my sex life is still as great as before (Well, it got improved simply because of work-out and better health overall). I don’t notice ANY side effect of Provillus on me.. I definitely would use Provillus for life as long as it still works for me.
My friend who is 48 years old and have much serious balding problem. He doesn’t work out at all.. He ordered Provillus because I am trying it out too so we both tried about same time. On 4th month, I could see some more hair on his top and his crown bald gap is slowly closing but still lot to go. His result is slower than mine. I suspect is that because he had bald crown too long so focilles were dead for long time so it might take longer time to revive and recover them or they just stay dead for good. Dying focilles are easier to heal than dead ones. The analogy would be to try to water a dying plant compared to water dead plant.. I do expect him to recover maybe 30 to 40% because he probably could restore “dying” focilles category fully that started dying in past few years of his life. I have no idea about his dead focilles that stayed dead for almost a decade. Let’s hope that Provillus could revive his dead ones..
I’m very happy with Provillus! I had convinced several of my friends with their balding problems and they all are just trying it now.. They were so shocked to see me saying that my hair looked great and asked me how? So I explained to them about Provillus. Even one co-op student who was young and just starting to lose hair was shocked when I showed them my picture of my scalp before I started taking Provillus. He decided to try it before further damage would come to his scalp.
Bottomline.. Provillus works.. The result largely varies among guys.. People who are just starting to lose hair seems to enjoy the result the best.. It’s better to try than no try (guaranteed to lose hair).
By the way for those who use hair gel or mousee.. I used either hair styling gel and mousee (depends on the mood I feel like). I applied gel or mousee BEFORE I apply Provillus so far.. It didn’t counter the effect of Provillus so I’m happy. I now enjoy seeing better mousee style on my thicker hair. :) I asked question 4 months ago about styling gel/mousee when to apply or proper procedure on one of sites but no one replied at all.. Now, I had to experiment to see if it works.. Now I know.. It works just fine by applying gel/mousee while using Provillus.
Hi guys, I ordered my 6 month provillus supply back in late april and started using it around may 7 to the 10th. I was just starting to thin which is what it says its target customers are. Before taking provillus, my hairline had receded about 3/4 of an inch and it was getting really bad.. with general diffuse thinning all over the top(not really a specific bald spot). I’m so happy with the results I’ve got after only 3.5 months on it. My hairline has came down about a half inch and my temples are really starting to thicken up, as for the top/crown.. its thicker than its ever been.. Its seriously as thick as it was when I was 15 years old and I’m i’ve still got over 2 months left! its the best 217 bucks I’ve ever spent in my life.. you cant put a price on the confidence boost I’ve recieved from this product and I will most definitely be a customer for life! :D
Also, There are no sexual side effects or any other adverse reaction of any kind. I’ve seen alot of negative reviews but cant for the life of me understand why.. I guess maybe I’m one of a lucky few who got alot of regrowth back but I doubt that. You HAVE to take the pill twice a day and you have to apply the minoxidil twice daily, its really not a hard regimin to follow. I’ve also been taking biotin tablets along with the provillus pills because I noticed the pill only had 40mcg biotin which is only 13% daily value.. and I wanted like 1000%, that may or may not have affected my results.
Oops…I meant it DOESN’T work anywhere but the vertex in the previous message.
Dave, thanks so much for the comments.
I really didn\’t think about the concern about taking both pills on the same day. Looks like Justino does it (post #469) and seems to be ok…
What would be the concern of taking both??…just want to make sure I don\’t do something that may hurt the effort!!!
What do you know about the ingredient in Nizoral (ketocanazole), any thoughts or comments….someone claimed it kills DHT…so it should be used a couple times per week, well that\’s what he said.
Also, any thoughts on Hair Muck? It was mentioned to mix it into the minioxidil…would that dilute the minoxidil? Or, like you mentioned, the 2% would be ok??
Well, Dave, I do appreciate the reply and thanks for the comments. It is good to know you are having success!
Hi Tom
The two will work well together, but I read somewhere that it may be hard on the system to take them both full time, can’t remember where. And after all, you really only want to take as little as you need to.
I don’t know anything about that shampoo, but others seem to vouch for it. I use New Generation.
I did try the Hair Muck (still have some) but think I got better results without it.
Cheers!
I am convinced that Provillus does not work. Here is my challenge to you. Whenever anyone makes a claim that it worked great for them, ask for “before and after pictures.” Don’t let them get away with their claim without giving you some credible pictures or point you to a reputable site that has many such pictures. Since this product has been around for some years now and should take only about 3 – 6 months to produce results, you better believe there would be tons of good before and after pictures online of people who are more than happy to show the world how well the product has worked for them. I can’t tell you how many sites I’ve seen of people talking about how they will take the challenge of testing out the product and reporting back their findings. Try finding before and after picture proof of any of those findings. I bet you you’ll be searching the internet for weeks trying to find a trace of it.
By the way, this guy DAVE sure has a way of entering a post and redirecting it’s flow. If you know what I mean. Go back and start reading the posts from the very beginning, and you will see what I mean. If this guy DAVE isn’t a cheerleader for Provillus in some way, they need to recruit him and give him there biggest pom poms, because he has single-handidly (well, then again seems like he might have a few tag-team buddies on here too) and with great endurance defended them without end. I was a little surprised how he kept talking about how he was here to tell everyone about how Provillus “worked for him.” But when asked in post #109 to post some before and after pictures, he then quickly switches to “But, this thread is not about me,” in his response in post #110. I say, until these Provillus advocates can provide a web-site with at least 10 to 20 people who are willing to show some before and after pictures and be interviewed by a reputable public source, just pack it up and go home. I think it’s just ridiculous in 2009 to have so many wed-sites promoting this product that has been around for years now, and you can’t find anywhere on the internet (including the “official” Provillus website) with verifiable before and after pictures of people who had this product “WORK FOR THEM.”
I am on NeedTruth side, you cant find any pictures what so ever on the website. Provillus even has video on there site of people who claim it has worked for them, have you seen these videos? Its funny cause they record from so far away that you can barely see the persons face never mind there hair!!! Well im one of the idiots who bought this product.
After 2 months on this product there hasnt been any difference in my hair, in fact my left side frontal has even receded more. I havent seen any more thickness still the same thin hair as I started. Very see threw in light and sun, but I ordered the 6 month supply and will finish it but I honestly think there is no hope besides a transplant.
I will let you know how I am after 3 months….Lets see some pictures!
haha NeedTruth and Steven, I so agree with you guys, about that Dave guy… he’s a joke. Why dont you show us some of your pictures if you’re so happy about the results… I mean if i used provillus and it worked on me, then I would love to post before & after pictures. Unfortunately, after using provillus for about 4 months, i had to stop because my hair in the front and on top were thinning alot. So guys, just think about it for a sec… If these products really works, why dont they show us their before & after pictures… right?
hey I am 25 years old and noticed recently that my front temple area is thinining like crazy…People whom I havent sen for aawhile even pointed it out to me..”in a nice manner way” I just want to know if it is worth it for me to get provillus cause like my father I think I am only going to to have a front baldness or a widows peak and no balding on the vortex or crown area.
Steven,
Yeah, all truly “honest” sites likely created by Provillus or one of their affiliates to shill their products. If this product really worked as claimed, it would practically sell itself. They wouldn’t need to fool people into buying it. And the worst part is, there are people out there getting fooled all the time because they really put some faith into “honest” and “trust” sites like those you listed.
These sites are loaded with affiliate links, meaning if you click the links and buy the products because of these “trusting” reviews, the author gets paid. Why let someone make money by lying to you?
hey. having been searching the web for about 6months now, iv noticed that for every good positive comment theres a negative comment on EVERY product, every time u get a bit of hope ur knocked back down.
anyway, i noticed hair loss about a year ago, ignored it for a while and then just grew my hair longer, started noticing alot of hair loss in shower about 6 months ago and decided to act, got the laser comb and didnt see results so about 2 months ago i started using procerin tablets and my hair loss seems to have decreased alot, so smething must be working. remember uv probably been losing your hair years before you notice any actual loss, so smething to hopefully reverse the affects will take a long time.
tho i dont think theres anything wrong or unatractive about hairloss, and the only time it becomes a problem is if it bothers u, my older brothers worse than me and doesnt seem to be bothered, maybe hes the lucky 1.
but if it bothers you its simple, search the web, make up your own mind and act, dnt just give up because you here negatives.
i found askdocweb.com very useful
if you want to ask ANYTHING or want to hear more about my story so far jst reply, id luv to help any1 from my experience
SO, I got a call from Provillus stating that I purchased a 30 day supply of Provillus and that they have a lifetime deal going on. I had to correct the lady cause I told her that I bought a 6 month supply about 3 months ago and that there product sucked!!! She told me to give it to a family member cause it might work for them and that they have a ton of other products for numerous different things…
I laughed and said that there product is bullshit and all they want to do is sell fake results. I asked them if there product worked so well why arent there any before and after pictures. She told me sorry and that they have been working on there website! Bullshit there website has been the same for the last 2 years.
Provillus does grow hair.
It is nicely packaged.
Yea, you could just buy Minoxidil Rogaine and the other products like hair vitamins, saw palmetto and biotin, etc., to treat your hair loss and get the same hair re grow results.
I had mild headaches after I had provillus, I stopped using it after using it for 5 weeks. The headaches disappeared after 1-1.5 weeks of not using it. If anyone else also had a headache after using provillus please let me know.
Most vegans or herbalist (or whatever you call them) who think that herbs can have an effect on hair loss would not buy Provillus because the ingredients are heavily marked up.
Provillus is basically marketed to lazy impulse buyers.
This forum is getting more and more interesting. For anyone reading this post, my advice is you have to keep in mind that when you do a search on the internet about a product, EVERYONE IS A CRITIC.
Everyone in here would also benefit if people leaving comments are the ones that have actually TRIED the product..this way you can make sure it is from a legitimate result. I just don’t see the reason why people are so negative about a product claiming it to be a scan for the sole reason that a lot of marketer’s are promoting it. It is better to comment on your own result from a product and then leave it at that.
And no, I am not a marketer. I am regular person who simply BOUGHT and TRIED provillus for 4 months now. It did work for me and my hair is regrowing like crazy. Now let me comment that this result does not happen to everyone. Everyone experiences different results. Type-in any product you can think of on Google and you will for sure get mix results (even Minoxidil)
I agree with the above post (#43) by Mike:
“I advise people to assume that everything they read on the web may not be completely true. (Including this blog!) Even be sceptical about what I am writing because you don’t know me. Everyone here may be lying, just how people that post on other sites may be lying.”
So yes the product DID work for me, I guess im one of the lucky ones :)
Again though, when you search the internet, read the information you find with caution. And then go with your consumer-gut feeling, you really never know if it does work or not until you tried it yourself.
Hi im 20 years old from PA and i have been losing more hair everyday for atleast the past couple of months so i started to do research and i have to say what i found and with my judment of it i would provillus is the one im gonna use and then i came across this website and alot of people were say “oh dont do it” “scam” company bashing like 36.dave said, and he made a good point about thats the only negatives on this site, and 50.max said go with your instints and that is what im goin to do cuz everything i reseached it all said provillus is the better and some didnt. so my 2 cents to everyone who is like me and has thinning hair or whatever your case may be do your research not only on provillus but everything and what ever you feel is the best go with it, and i havent been researching for a day or two its been like 4 months, and your not gonna know if it works until you try it and this will be my first thing i try so i will be reporting back for a update for everyone.
Ok, 3 months deep and not a single regrowth or Thickness has occured. It actually looks worse, the corners are getting worse. Total crock of crap. I still have 3 more months to go and will finish it but its crap.
When the sales lady actually called my house and try to sell me a lifetime supply and I told her it doesnt work she told me they sell a bunch of other vitamins I knew it was total shit
Then I guess Rogaine is a crock as well, since that’s half of the Provillus program.
ok well I just read all of that from the very top. Took forever! I am a 22 yr old female and I have alopecia. I have tried endless things that my dermatologist has perscribed me…. and the hair always grows back but then also still falls out in a new spot. It is probably the worst it has ever been right now due to stress I would think. I bought a bottle of provillus one time but didn’t get to see the complete results because I ran out of money… this time I am buying at least a 3 month supply and the minoxidil because I did have hair regrowth after I used just the one bottle. it was a while ago and I can’t remember if it fell back out in that particular spot or what. If I can just get my hair to a point where I don’t get any new spots I would be happy! Then I will focus on the regrowth! It is more excepted by men to have hairloss…. try being in your prime and being an attractive female and having huggee bold spots through out your head! it sucks… been thinking about a wig!
A long time ago I bought finasteride in Mexico $30. I broke up the pills in 3rds and the supply lasted 3 months. It worked BIGTIME. I went back and was sold obvious FAKE pills. I tried them anyway and nothing happened.
A year ago I bought some over the internet. Turns out it was from India. It say \”French Remedies FRT-5 5mg\” on the package. This crap hasn\’t worked at all. I break them in half and have been taking these crappy pills for 1 and 1/2 years!
Anyone else buy finasteride that says \”French Remedies\” on it? What happened. Am I eating paint?
Erik
provillus does not work i tried ir for one year and have lost a lot of hair
it is a con job stay away from it
proscar works i tried it but can be bad for you
anyone on this site that says it works is lying or their improvement in the hair or the ceasing of it falling out is to do with something else
100% dont waste your money and make these pricks any richer
What is the instruction for using Provillus? if we order it, can we also recieve the instruction of usage?
**********Kyle from #498 here…
So I got the Provillus shipment about a week after I ordered it. That other ‘discount card’ charge never happened thankfully.
I started using Provillus at the very beginning of 2010, literally new years day. It took a couple days to learn how to apply the dropper and not have most of it drip down to areas you don’t need it. But after that it was easy to do, twice a day, once in the morning once at night. Scheduling it many hours before a shower can be tricky at times (per the instructions that come with it), taking the two pills is no biggie. The instructions that come with it are straight forward by the way, no need for extra info.
So far there’s no results, or at least not significant enough to see a difference. There was maybe a little thinning at first, maybe. It’s only been 1 month so I didn’t expect much though. And I’m using it for frontal balding and receding hairline, which it says repeatedly it is not meant to treat (only crown balding). I’m just hoping it works anyway, how can hair growth be that different between the front and back?
Anyway, 1 month in, no results. Taking pictures too btw. Will update again in another month…
Kyle, I never got the topical so I’ve never seen those instructions, but applying it before a shower? That’s weird to me. Since it’s so much like Rogaine why not apply it after a shower, to a clean scalp, as per their instructions? Seems to me that way it will at least be on your scalp the entire day. Your diligence is commendable, but you might want to check that.
Hey Dave, yeah I wasn’t very clear with what I wrote. What I meant was that it’s sometimes tricky to find a time to apply it and then not shower for several hours after that. The instructions say to let it dry on your scalp for at least 4 hours before showering. Not a big issue but it has come up a few times…
hey I to want to add if you havent tried the stuff dont comment. ive been using it for about two months im 25 with a receding hair line.i new i was going bald since i was like 15 it totally sucks balls.never tried any product before provillus but i felt like i need to say i have had results from provillus even though it s not for frontal baldness it definately has started some growth where there was nothing at all so give the stuff a shot good luck
You will not get your money back from provillus and your hair would have fallen off in lumpy big chunky chunks. That is exactly what happened to me and my mom. Our hair came off in lumps. My mom even had to do a medical check up to make sure there is no cancer of any kind. Well, the supposed cancer was Provillus. I am spending hundreds now to get our hair back to where is it was all in the name of hair maintenance and hair regrowth. Provillus is a big scam preying on peoples emotions. Do not buy or even think of Provillus, you will regret it. I am regreting ever using provillus right now.
@ Doddi Lane: “Unbiased”? Ha ha!! Finally the Provillus marketing team is joining this thread! Was wondering what took you so long!
I have to agree with Mark, we don’t want to read Provillus sites here, we only want to hear from users first hand.
*************Kyle from #498 and #501 here
So I’m a little over 3 months in to trying Provillus, and am still uncertain about the results. My hair looks great, I’m definitely happy with not losing any more of it lately. But I don’t know if I’ve grown any either – I grew it out longer so it’s hard to see if there’s a big difference from before (when it was significantly shorter). Sorry, wish I something more definitive to report, but it will have to wait until I can see some significant results. Don’t want to give credit to Provillus if it isn’t deserved…
Have been using provillus 6 months. Is it my imagination that my little hair growth is on the front and contrary to the instructions that comes with the bottle? The top vertex has shown no change except like post no.80 from 2 years ago, severe itching and acne on my scalp. Hard to believe I have 4 months supply left and I have put a stay on the use because of the bad itching. It has turned my vertex pink and my hair stylist said I have scabs in my scalp. I hope the itching stops and I can finish off the 4 months supply and quit if nothing changes. This is very upsetting that this happens with so many of the people who have wrote on this bloq. I wish I was here before i purchased.
i have 24 years old male and my quection is. is it normal to loose 40 hair on day. doctor says 50-100 is normal but i think it is too much
things are getting worse. My scalp is full of scabs and I am bleeding. Scalp has become red. I started dabbing my scalp with alcohol to stop the itching and prevent any infection. Some hair is falling out as I scratch. I can not believe anyone would sell a product that can cause something like this to happen. I followed the instructions but can it be possible that II should have use it once a day instead of two times a day ? Or should i have never used this product in the first place? Any advice is very welcomed.
Andy, check out HairlossHelp.com and HairLossTalk.com. There are others there struggling with the same things from Rogaine topicals.
When Rogaine first came out it was a 2% solution. I think when it went to 5% stories such as yours became more common. You should research that site, but the Women’s Rogaine is still 2% and that’s what I use. You may want to try that since I think the Provillus is 5%.
I’ve been using this product for around 1.5 years now. I didn’t get any real results until around 1 year where I noticed the areas that were thinning out had darkened back up and filled in. As far as new growth, there has been a little bit but it’s slow going. I don’t have the topical and until a week ago I was taking 2 pills at once in the morning instead of 1 two times a day. Overall, the product works for me and I’m happy. My hair is slowly coming back, I have no side affects, my Doc gives me the green light and it’s not too expensive. Don’t expect a full head of hair in 3 months or really anything except for the product to stop your balding at that point. You should be happy with NOT loosing your hair anymore for only using a product for 3 months. Anyway, I’ll keep using this product as it works for me with the pills only.
Dave,
My scabs are drying and peeling off. I still have 4 bottle of provillus left. I wonder when my scalp is sufficiently healed I should just use the provillus once a day until the bottles are gone and then proceed with 2% rogaine. I have developed some small spots on my scalp because of the peeling scabs.
That’s what I would do. Maybe your scalp can tolerate 5% once a day or 2% once or twice a day. The more the better, but I only use the 2% once a day.

I’ve been using Provillus for 5 1/2 months now, and haven’t seen any significant results. I only have frontal balding (receding hairline) and they specifically say that Provillus doesn’t treat that, so this report doesn’t mean the product is bunk. I haven’t lost any more hair since I started using it, and can see some (maybe new?) tiny peach-fuzzy hairs in the areas I’ve been applying the topical, but that’s about it. I took the pills and applied the topical – followed the instructions well. Had no side effects. If I would’ve balded more without taking Provillus then it was worth it, but otherwise I think I wasted $215.
Hi, I’m reporting again to let you know I was unsuccessful in resuming my daily drops. I woke up this morning and saw how redden my vertex area was from the provillus drops. I’ll have to postpone the daily drops until the redness hopefully disappears. I also noticed since the original postponemnet of treatment due to the reactions I posted earlier (itchiness, pealing,bleeding, etc.) the vertex area has expanded.
I started Provillus about 18 months ago. Used topical and oral supplement for 6 months and saw minimal results. Stopped using and after 4 months of non-use, saw drastic results in the wrong direction. I ordered another 6 month supply to see if it reversed the trend and it did as well as some new growth showing after 6 months use (again). My personal conclusion is that I am not starting on a “even plane” trying to grow hair; but instead I need to fight the loss and any NEW growth is kind of a bonus.
hey everyone,,i only use provillus capsule because i cant get the topical(topical solution only for US),,does provillus pills are effective to stop hair loss and promote hair regrowth??
need u guys feedback..
hi its me again,,i been using provillus 2 weeks now,,it reduce my hair fall frm 40 to 10-15 when i shower..no regrowth..Overall I am satisfied with the product for the fast result. but I hope this will maintain my hair forever coz i still have normal hair only little thinning and small bald spot on top of my hair tat just need a little adjustment to cover it up xD..i only use the capsule,no topical..
hey! i just want to say i started losing hair at around 20 years of age and started using provillus at 21. my hair was fully restored and better than what i had hoped 4. after 4 months of use my hair had completely come back. i had stop using it 4 a while and my hair loss began again, but it never got as bad as it was before. i just started using it again and hopefully it works as it once did, and this time i want stop using it. i am very eager 4 the results. my conclusion from reading some comments is that it works 4 some but not 4 all. you take chances from life thats how 1 gains wisdom. so i can honetsly say that provillus is not a scam!!!!!
i think, provillus work very well if its used earlier. after 1 month i notice new hair on top of my hair. i started losing my hair 4 month ago.
It’s me again. Been using rogaine once a day to see if it makes a difference from provillus. I am still itching and having lots of dandruff from the scabs. My bald spot is just growing so I am rather down about this whole thing. My sister told me to use ookisa. what the heck is that? Looked it up on the internet and it looks like another rip off from the orient. Anyone here know anything?
yessssssssssss
massage has helped get rid of the slight itch I have felt in my scalp, which I began to feel just before I began to lose hair on my crown. I read about massaging with olive oil, has anyone tried this?
And my real question – has anyone tried Trichozed?
I try trichozed, 4 month with no difference, i have 4 bottles and i report when i finish with them, daily 40 hairs folling down, i dont no is that to many or not
as a provillus beneficiary, i have to defend this product
Im almost done with my second bottle of provillus+their minoxidill and i can already see some surprising results.
I am not very bald, but over the last few years, the frontal area ( recedign hairlines) was getting thinner and thinnier ( M line? ) however, after having taken provillus for almost 2 month now, the problem has started to improve and I started to see some regrowth on the sides area of the frontal areas
before using provillus, i had been using Rogaine foam for 11 momths and it did not work too well for me.
honestly, I am not too sure how the ingredients work but it sure work for me. im really thrilled with the current result, although the results are not that massive but i am optimistic that it can further improve my hair problem
thanks
it seems that this product does not work for too many people here
or are you guys just some trouble makers?
because it works very well for me. i have been usign rogaien foam for 11 months but there was only disappointment and time wasting
im not sure its the combination use of provillus and their minoxidill im not too sure which of them helped my problem the most
however, i ordered them on ebay rather directly from their online store
i highly recommend it for people
It has been three months since my last report. The progress has been painfully slow. I think I have hairs growing on my bald spot. I pray it is not my imagination. This will mark 10 months (excluding the two months in March and April where I ceased using provillus or anything else because of the intense itching and bleeding from the scratching). Since going on once a day in May using Rogaine, the itching continues but not as intense and some hair “seems” to be growing though nothing to use as a testimony to any effectiveness of Rogaine or Provillus. For some reason, I find Provillus to cause more itching than Rogaine purchased from BJ’s Wholesale club. I occasionally alternate the bottles of Rogaine and Provillus. I plan to continue for another three months before all hope is lost. I don’t want to resort to a hair transplant or even cutting all my hair off and try the macho bald head look. That Bruce Willis look doesn’t go with my image. Anyone with better suggestions is highly appreciated.
I agree, peopel should start to apply it before the problem got too complicated
i dont think theres any product can help the compltely bald patients ( or very bald ) it will work better for those who have thining hairline
i just start my thrid bottle
i have ordered a 6 month quanity
so i will keep you guys updated
so far, i can see some apparent result ( not very massive of course) lets see if it can recover my hair problem further
i will let you guys know
when
Andy, see my post #395, I’m still doing that and it still rocks!
WOW ! what a long blog ! This is very interesting, does provillus really work or just a scam. So, all of you guys have tried provillus, and I also see that Dave is very dilligent following this blog. Please help me out, Im on the verge of buying provillus, but certainly have doubts, do you guys have a before and after pic? I saw one on the provillus advert website but I want to see before and after pic from you guys who said that provillus works. Could you please paste the link here? How about you Dave, do you have the pic? thank you guys
I have been using provillus for about 5 months, and I can tell you that this really works, hair is growing after 4 months. I would recommend anybody to buy a 6 month supply and stick to it, be patient, because it works for me, I am about to order another 6 months supply since now it is sold in Canada, but only the bottles not the cream since it is illegal in Canada.
ok, just read this whole blog and i feel like it was a waste of time, it started in 2008 and now 2010 no one has posted any pics, im sure someone has a pic from 2 years ago and one from now…..come on people…..Dave. Pics pleas! on the 2 years you been here, you never took a pic? someone anyone out there with a Flippin picture of the result? Or ur all lyers! which is what im starting to think. 2 years this blog has been going on, with mulitpul post by the same people but no pics……i feel i just wasted my day!
Sky, don’t go away. I have same doubts about some of the posters myself but I still read their posts. I try to post every three months so I am a little early today. I have used Rogaine and alternate with provillus (not the same day) for 11 1/2 months now. The itching still continues and I have been hoping my scalp would get acclimated to the serum but it looks like I will itch as long as I use these two treatments. There is some hairs growing in the bald sport on top of my head but still I would never claim these two treatments are successful. Perhaps they are preventing my head from losing more hair. I feel like we are drug addicts and these are our fixes and I am sure the hair companies love that. Anyway, I have learned to comb my hair to make my bald sport less conspicuous but my daughter took a photo picture of me reading a book from the balcony and I saw a terrible bald spot on the middle of my head. That was very sad since this is almost one year using provillus. I do not believe the posters who claim their provillus worked in less than 12 months. You must be having illusions. Anyway, I promise to give you an update before the end of the year.
sky i hv the picture but im scare to gv to anyone which i dont know(especially in internet),,beside, if ur baldness in noorwood level(2,3,4,…) dont hope ur hair will growing full in 6month,, i begin take provillus when i realize my hair on top getting thinning(my hair look normal if i didnt hide the bald spot on top of my head). i read a lot of review which,provillus not working for who had bald long enough, or in noorwood 3,4..,, the key is,,u have the chance to prevent baldness if u use provillus “earlier”,,
Look you dimwits, stop asking me for pictures, I don’t have any. Ya, I could take one now, so what? I don’t have a “before” one, so what would that prove?
Besides, look at my post #479 which you claim to have read, if I have a good head of hair who gets the credit? I’ve already said Provillus wasn’t enough for me, but it made a difference.
Dave
WOW….i first posted back on jan 23, 2008 and was only the 75th comment on here. now there is 546. well, its funny, cuz i can tell you with absolute assuredness, provillus did not do anything for me, except waste $179 of my hard earned dollars. even better, i did alot of research and found ‘nourishhair’ pills from GNC for a fraction of the cost (about 19$ a month)…take two a day, one in the morning, one at night. i figure i would rather pay less, and be able to trust GNC over some company that pays shrills like ‘balding tony’ to promote their product.
provillus and a few tricks worked for me
I just checked back to see if this blog is still going. I originally posted back at #529 and 530. I’ve had pretty amazing results. As I said I was very noticeably losing hair on my crown. To the point where I saw a video I was in and could definitely see a bald spot. So I began searching for ways to help. A big problem is not having a healthy scalp. I bought some stupid “ebook” that was really a $50 ripoff from stopyourhairloss.com called How To Naturally Regrow Lost Hair in 15 Minutes a Day. It includes all kinds of other junk about other natural remedies that don’t pertain to hairloss at all, but I got 3 ideas from it that I do every day. Everyday before I shower I take 5 minutes to do these 3 things: 1) scalp massage for a few minutes. 2) Grab and lightly pull on my hair, just hard enough to feel the pressure. These 2 things stimulate bloodflow to your scalp which is very important. Then I brush my hair for a couple minutes to get all the dead hairs out of the way which helps leave fertile ground for new hairs. Then for my shampoo I alternate every couple months between Euphora which is just great for your hair and Nioxin. Alternating is important to keep your scalp stimulated, like I said I alternate every couple months. And I like Provillus a lot. I started with a 2 month kit, then went to 4 since it said to allow 6 months to see results. 6 months later my very noticeably thiinning area has filled in completely, so I’m about to order the 6 month pack and continue. I can’t say for sure what has had the greatest impact, but this recipe is working so I’m going to keep it going. Oh and one more tip from that ebook – with a firm hairbrush, boar-bristle or something similar, tap your scalp for a minute every day. Again, it causes bloodflow to the scalp. I do it right before I put the Provillus drops on at night, thinking maybe stimulating my scalp and hitting it with Provillus helps a bit extra? I have no idea if thats true or not but like I said this routine is working, and its simple and easy so I’m going to keep doing it. Hope that helped some of you
Been looking for a blog like this for a while but it may have been to late as i bought 6months supply of Provillus yesterday.
Ive tried a few natural pills, i.e Totally Natural hair food. Hairdressers Formula. None of which made much of a difference, i was hoping Provillus would be my saviour.
I guess i will be giving it a go anyway seeing as i now own half a years supply of the stuff. Keep you posted!
Like many of you, i may have found this blog to late.My 4 month supply arrived today.Will go ahead with it, and try to be optimistic.I will post back under this name.We should all remember 1 thing, this is one of the few sites i have found,( after endless hours of research) that seems to be real and honest.All opinions should be respected.Talk to you in a few weeks!
this blog seems like a war of words….. i’m sure a bunch of users have photos of themselves before, and After. i would love to see a ton of ACTUAL proof, rather than just ppl saying it works. Actual proof goes so much further than words.
on another sceptical note, i wonder if pharmaceutical companies make more money by CURING hair loss once and for all, or selling a ton of TREATMENT that you need to keep buying until you die!!! i have a feeling the later makes more money, and money is what wins in the end!!!
been reading this blog for abt 2-3 days, now to wrap up what ive read i think the majority is Provillus wont work alone. but it may help reduce the risk of losing much hair. it would be better if u guys could share ur FB accnt to know that ur really are a real person or jst another shady agent paid by this hair products to confuse or spit lies abt this product. having to stumble in this blog is good enough to comment it. hope this blog is still alive for a couple of years. ^_^
ITS ONLY BEEN 3 WEEKS AND IM STARTING TO SEE LITTLE HAIRS ON THE CROWN AND IN FRONT, ILL KEEP TAKING PROVILLUS, AND IF THEY GET LONGER THEN ILL REUP FOR ANOTHER 3 MONTHS SUPPLY..BELIEVE ME I AM FOR REAL. IM 49 AND WAITED TO LONG TO TRY TO STOP MY BALDING, I AM HOPING THIS GIVES ME SOME BACK.
Hi, it’s been just over 12 months since I last wrote on this blog #420. I am disappointed that this blog has not grown. My scalp no longer itches from the use of the minoxidil. I now use only Rogaine because I don’t believe there is any difference between them and Provillus. However, any significant hair growth has not happened. I will continue to use the rogaine until I grow old in the hope it prevents any future hair loss. By that time I might not give a damn. I started this thing in October 2009 with a lot of hope and prayer but I have accepted the realization that there is really little we can do unless we go all out and get a hair transplant. I have decided that will not be an option for me. I have come to terms with my receding hair. Anyway, good luck to all of you and if it works, you are one of the fortunate ones.
hey guys, Im 21 years old and have been slowly loosing my hair since i was 18. i now have a receding hair line and a bigger forehead. i was wondering what the best treatment for me would be?? please help, thank you!!!
Hey guys! great forum! im a 21 year old white male and I live in South Africa. I’m no where near bold yet but my hair is thinning quite a lot! my hair DOES drop more than it should and would like it to stop, i’m quite big built, dont gym as much as i used to and my skin is rather oily! I dont have acne but I dont like how oily my skin is, anyhow I asked my Chemist if he would recommend accutane for my oily skin but he was totally against it. Now what i could gather, excess sebum production is a huge cause for hairloss as it means your body is producing too much (DHT) which in returns “suffocates” your hair folucles. now I want to kill 2 birds with 1 stone! is it possible that using provillus (the tablets) would clear up the oil on my sculp and face?? bonus?? or should i try accutane and see if it works?? accutane is roughly R220 which is about 27$ US for a 3 month supply. and provillus is very very expensive in SA!! like 70$ US for 1 month!(TABLETS) Thanx for any given advice!!
Provillus!!!!!ahh ,really not worth of money,havnt worked for me,pls dont put your money on that.use castor oil,it wont helps u to regrow ur hair,but surely it will helps you stop hair loss
I cannot say if it works because I cannot use it. It makes my pressure go sky high and they will not honor their 90 day return policy. I think it is dangerous medically and financially.
Entrappment! Not registered with BBB. No return policy. They say 90 days but it isn’t true. WHen you try to return a big bold offer for 20% will come up and when you click on it you will not be able to return again ever. They don’t tell you this. In my mind I still had the option to return in 90 days, but apparently once you click you are done for and customer service is deaf to anything you say.
OK I ordered and then found this page, too late. It does seem to be a scam to me. I (like many before me) ordered thinking that I was getting BOTH the pills AND the topical solution. The image besides the order button shows both bottles. Anyway, on clicking buy, I see that I’ve only purchased 6 bottles of the pills. There was no option to choose products, only the amount of months supply so it’s not as if I chose the wrong products. They state on their site and in emails that you can get a refund within 90 days if the stuff is unopened, first you to complete a RMA form. So I did that, then I get an email saying I must now return the stuff within 15 days because they’ve just received my RMA refund form. I only ordered it 2 hours ago so it’s still sitting in their warehouse presumably! So I will have a job on my hands to receive it and get it back within 15 days, even if I manage that, they will probably claim they didn’t get it on time.
Tried to call customer service but surprise surprise no answer.
I was quite alarmed when purchasing that I got a screen offering me a lifetime’s supply for only $99. I really should have quit right then! I didn’t go for that, but further to what somebody said above, it seems they’re making their money off the shipping scam rather than the pills. Anyway, my advice along with most others is AVOID!!!
The best thing to do is to accept that you are bald. If you cannot accept it try to save money for your hair transplant. If you dont have enough money you can use ONION and GARLIC to your head apply it everyday and the result after a month.
I try provillus didn’t work actually im more bald now. I lost all my hair even on my side of y hd.stay away another rip off product.
It is a fraud! Don’t type in your credit card #
BIG NEWS
Now, ideally you want to solve hair loss problems without resorting to drugs, so Provillus is the natural alternative. But if you have a strong hair loss problem, how do you bring it down so a less powerful product, such as Provillus is enough? Perhaps there’s an underlying health issue. What can you take for that?
Well, I am not sure I have it all figured out, but I have to pass on an amazing discovery I have had since I have last written.
I have been on a special juice called NONI Juice. Look it up. One of the many health benefits was touted to be reduction in hair loss, and even new growth. I read testimonials to that effect and thought I would give it a try.
Well, days after starting my reasonable fallout became almost nil. And weeks after I started to see new growth. Now a few months in I am just stunned at how well my head of hair looks. The new growth is for real and just keeps coming.
I got mine from iHerb.com, the Earth’s Bounty one because it’s the most potent. I take one ounce a day on an empty stomach and that’s it.
Look into Noni juice, I do not think you will be disappointed.
Dave
I am a female and I have been trying Provillus.
2months had gone by and I wasn’t sure if it was working.. 3 months then all of a sudden I go to wear my hair out and I have a new clump of hair growing on the top of my head.. happiest moment of my life lol.. I have Androgenetic alopecia which is thinning hair around the top half of your head. But after doing heaps of research I agree with some people on here that it is the MINOXIDIL that is making my hair grow. Provillus have the WORST customer service ever, you will never be able to talk to a person or email a person if something goes wrong with your order. So I’m not ordering from them again since I now know I can use any minoxidil product. This is the one I’m trying next. A whole lot cheaper, especially for me who is from New Zealand. https://www.minoxidilmax.com/products.php
i use this product last 6 month its stop my hair fall 90% but not shown any hair growth much but it is effective bye using with rogain foam which contain 5% minoxidile both of them gr8 work together but it hair fall is started when stopping using this product.
Very great blog.
I use Provillus for men for 3 months. The effects can be seen slowly. I bought the tablet on vitalab.pl/11, Provillus-for-men.html. I recommend, because it works really.
EVEN BIGGER NEWS!!!
Approaching my late 40’s and everything I was doing suddenly stopped working. In a panic I did more research and was lucky enough to see someone on Amazon mention BIOTIN. Well, what a discovery.
I have been on 10,000 iu’s a day of BIOTIN for 2 months now and right off the bat it worked like crazy! My head bursted with hair! Little hairs grew up, all hair grew fast. See what others say on Amazon. Phenominal stuff!! And cheap!
It makes hair grow all over as well. This I missed and I think explains what happened to me. I had an overall slowdown for years that finally reached my head. Well no more. Facial and scalp hair are back faster (1″/mo) and more than ever.
So there’s your tip of the year. BIOTIN BABY!!!
Cheers!
Dave
IS that biotin really works… When Im approaching 30, my hair began to fall…Now im 31 and 6 months, and I noticed my hair are more and more often fall…
Some of the barbers claim that using caps and helmets because are one of the reasons of hair loss… But i also noticed that when i didnt change m shampoo brand, there was dandruff and maybe those are also one of the reason.. and im using gel to my hair before i go to my work which makes my scalp more develop dandruff as ever.. I used gel since college… Now i used expensive hair gloss…there is no dandruff but it seems i have more hair loss than ever…
what do you think, i would do?
I dont want to waste money…for nothing…
Is that biotin really works?
The biotin works to speed and improve hair growth, but I have to tell you what is really rocking my world now….LIPOGAINE!!!
It’s a mix of the best ingredients as a topical solution. I use 2% Rogaine in the mornings and Lipogaine at night, since it’s a little greasy, and wow! What results! My hair growth was starting to peter out (just when you think you have this solved…) and this did absolutely astounding things. Really, look into it and give it a try, it’s amazing!
Dave
And just when you think your problems are over, growth slows down again! Getting tired of this. BUT, by chance I tried NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) and yup, growth resumed and has been awesome ever since. Who knew? I take 1 600mg pill a day.
Dave
