Isomer - Revive Shampoo / Conditioner

SandGirl · ‎03-09-2010

I am going to take a break from WEN for about 3 months, I've had unexplained thinning in my widows peak, ALL BLOOD work is perfect even iron and ferritin levels, I just want to eliminate it for a few months and see if I have less thinning or even some fill back it, I LOVE WEN but I just need to do it to maybe prove to myself that it is or isn't part of the culprit.

So, I was looking at Isomers, anyone use these? Have feedback, yay or nay.

My hair is to my bra line, likes to tangle easy BUT I stil need something that helps add body and not weigh it down the way some can do. Would love to try something new that would add in some body

I am open to suggestions!

Please read the ingredient deck for both shampoo and conditioner. I like Isomers skincare but not their hair care line. Everyone’s hair is different though.

@SilleeMee may have some great suggestions for you.

Well Wishes,

@SandGirl Interesting! That's where I've been thinning - widow's peak. I recently stopped using Wen because of the thinning. I don't have a recommendation for a shampoo and I still use Wen as a conditioner, but I don't go near the scalp with it - just from the middle of the hair to the ends.

Thinning hair can be caused from so many things and there is no single remedy to stop it completely. Maintaining a clean scalp is very important. Sometimes when we remove makeup and skincare products from the face there can be some residual amounts left behind along the hairline and if you don't shampoo everyday then there can be build-up right there which might cause thinning hair at the hairline. I'm not saying this will happen to everyone, but I think it's important to clean the hairline well each day to decrease buildup of things you put on the face. Clogged pores on the scalp can be just a problem as it is on any other part of your face or body. Hairlines are often overlooked. If your hair is thinning all over then that might be a totally different problem or problems.

@spent2much That is EXACTLY what I have been doing for now but just thought I would try to stop it all together.

I LOVE WEN so I am not bashing it but I've been using it a few years and those are the years I've seen the thinning but I'm also moving closer to my 50's so I'm blaming it on that too. My parents and my brother have FULL THICK heads of hair, my dad is 73 and doesn't even have one thinning spot, unusual for a man.

@SilleeMee I was DAILY, I work FT so if I leave the house, I am a girl of the 80's and I shower every morning even if that means getting up at 4am. I use a clarifying shampoo every 7-8 days on my scalp and use oils on my scalp at least 3 nights a week, I really take care to care for my scalp

Crown area has thinning out quite a bit too, I never used to be able to see my part back there and now I have to work to cover it...

I've dealt with thinning hair most of my life. Went bald for no reason but it grew back. I'm 63 now and have been using hair lasers for many years. For me they have been the only thing that has worked. I tried medical treatments, numerous topicals, shampoos, conditioners, dietary supps...most of it did very little if nothing to make lost hair grow back. Only the lasers did that.

@SilleeMee I have actually been looking into those, figured why not get a jump on it before it gets worse?? Didn't want to shell out the money but if I can get it on easy pay I think I may do that. Which one do you like and feel is easy to use and effective?

@SandGirl ,

The first one I bought was the very first HairMax-9 comb the Q sold years ago. Then I bought that helmet thing, i-Grow. I used both at the same time...the i-Grow did the top of my head and the comb did the sides and back areas. That worked out really well for me. I got a lot of regrowth. Then I decided to go all out and get a CapillusPro cap. That is the best but it's extremely expensive. I use the Capillus now instead of the iGrow and I also still use the HM-9 comb to do my sides and back areas. The thing about these hair lasers is that the more lights they have, the better. More lights mean more coverage with having to use them in less time. So to answer your question, buy the one you can afford. The more lights it has means the thing will cost you more as well. So just buy the biggest one you can afford and don't give up using it too soon.

One thing I have to say here and I don't want to scare you, but the longer you let your hair loss continue then you are closing the opportunity to regain it back by waiting to take action with a laser device. The sooner your start, the chances are better that your hair will regrow. If you wait then the hair follicles will die off forever, never to grow hair again. I know, sad but it's the truth.

Thank you for all the great education. I know I want to get a jump on it while I still have some hair in that area, it's still there but the density of it is like 50% of what it used to be and I can fully see my scalp on my sides, always wear my hair down to help cover it.

I think I will check with Nordstrom they are really good about returns and I for sure won't give up on it, I know it takes time even years to see a huge diff. I really appreciate you taking time to help me. I hope you have a blessed evening.
