Default Doo Gro for hair loss

Has anyone tried this line of products? I'm thinking of trying it- specifically one of the oil treatments- even though I'm Caucasian (it's made for African-American hair). It's full of all kinds of good-for-you stuff. The products are pretty cheap, too.

Ingredients of the Mega Thick Growth Oil- Soybean Oil, Soy Methyl Ester, Sweet Almond Oil, Oat Extract, Oat Protein, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, SheaButter Extract, Fragrance, Propylparaben, BHA, Tea Tree Oil, Retinol (Vitamin A), Ergocaliferol (Vitamin D), Tocopherol (Vitamin E) Matricaria Extract, Goldenseed Extract, Hops Extract, Soap Bark Extract, Calendula Extract, Henna Extract, Horsetail Extract, Safflower Oil

Hi Veggie!

Although products for African American hair may claim to be light weight, they may be too heavy for your hair type. You may have to shampoo your hair daily.

I am African Am, but my hair requires light weight products as I have a relaxer and very soft hair which gets weighed down and oily if it is not washed 2-3X per week.

I would recommend another product which may be lighter for your hair type and should be available at Rite Aid, Walgreens, Duane Reade, etc...
www.organicrootstimulator.com/company.htm. I used the fertilizing serum before and I started to see hair popping out from my hair line (my main application area)

Also try Lucky Kentucky Mane & Tail...see article below from the New York Times...Good Luck!

THING; For the Mane, Of Course




By RICHARD SANDOMIR
Published: January 22, 1995
TRIGGER, WHO DOES YOUR HAIR? For a silkier, thicker mane, men and women are lathering up with shampoo and conditioner designed for coarse equine hair. The leading brand, Mane 'n Tail, once available only in horse specialty and feed shops, now sells 95 percent of its product to tail-deprived humans. Four factories work double shifts to fill orders, and annual sales reached $60 million last year (up from $500,000 in 1989). A PHENOMENON IS SIRED: Barely four years ago, Roger Dunavant, the president of Straight Arrow in Bethlehem, Pa., the maker of Mane 'n Tail, handed out samples to horse folk; they told him what a nice job the concoction did on their hair. Soon after, a market study found that 10 of 12 buyers were not using it on their ponies. A LEGAL HORSE RACE: To protect its good mane, Mr. Dunavant has sued 12 companies and accused them of misappropriating the Mane 'n Tail moniker. Dick Kaitz, the executive vice president of Palm Beach Products, makers of Lucky Kentucky Mane, Tail and Body Shampoo, said the charges were baseless: "They were turned down for a trademark for Mane 'n Tail. We had a legal opinion that gave us the go-ahead." A BUCKET JOB: Instructions from the Mane 'n Tail bottle: "Add 1 oz. per gallon of warm water into a bucket. Pre-wet the coat with just water to remove excessive, loose dirt. Apply shampoo solution with a sponge or massage until a rich lather appears." Directions on two new packaged-for-humans lines, Equenne and Conceived by Nature, indicate a little dab of the viscous shampoo will do ya, and forget the bucket. IT ISN'T PRELL, BUT . . .: John Fish, Kmart's hair-care buyer, said customers had requested Mane 'n Tail before he stocked the shelves of the chain's 2,350 stores with it. "We tested it in our quality assurance department and the information was that it was safe for humans," he said. "It doesn't sell like Pantene Pro-V or Suave, but it sells very well." A local price comparison found a 32-ounce bottle of Mane 'n Tail selling for $5.99, or about 19 cents an ounce; a 13-ounce bottle of Pantene for $3.19, or 25 cents an ounce, and a 15-ounce bottle of Suave, 99 cents, or 6 cents an ounce. CELEBRITY NEIGH-SAYER: On the "Late Show With David Letterman," Terry Bradshaw, Fox's football commentator, confided that the equine rinse had grown hair atop his bare dome, a renaissance thus far undetectable to the TV-watching eye. Mr. Dunavant said he couldn't make such a claim, "or the F.D.A. will force me to do a $50 million study." But he added, "I haven't lost any hair since I started using it." I'VE GOT THE MOUSSE . . .: Now there are Mane 'n Tail hair spray, perm enhancer, mousse and detangler (all for humans only), as well as The Hoofmaker, a skin moisturizer that doubles as a fingernail strengthener. What's next, Secretariat lip gloss? RICHARD SANDOMIR

I wouldn't advise it for daily use as the oil products are kinda heavy...Maybe you could try it as a weekly hot oil treatment for your scalp and hair in which you wash it out? I use the doo gro anti itch growth oil as I have an extremely dry scalp and thick hair which basically drinks up anything I put on it but with doo gro i only have to apply it every three verses every day with other oil products i've tried
