Shampoo That Makes Hair Grow Fast?
There is a new shampoo that claims to make hair grow faster, and MSN are backing it up.
Link: The shampoo that makes your hair grow fasterIf this is a reality, could a baldness combating shampoo be on the market soon? Do you really think this works, or is it pseudo science junk?
For what it’s worth, the article on MSN looks more like an advertorial than a news piece.
The product is by Nisim, and is called F.A.S.T. Shampoo, but I don’t know what the initials stand for. They claim it makes hair grow up to 99% faster, but I have no clue what makes this shampoo special. Besides prices and claims, actual info is tough to find on this. Looks like pseudo science to me.
Guidelines for detection of “pseudo-science†(should be obvious):
1) Claims of impressive scientific study results that are not published anywhere in the scientific literature (but noted in the advertisement)
2) Therapy composed of “natural†substances (in this case a “special†blend of natural herbs and essential amino acids), which as foodstuffs does not need to meet any regulatory requirement for truthfulness or correct claims (as do drugs)
3) Sold outside the US
4) Expensive ($38 USD for a bottle)
