PURA D'OR Hair Thinning Therapy 3-Piece Set, Shampoo, Conditioner & Masque for Best Results, Infused with Argan Oil, Biotin, All Hair Types, Men & Women (Packaging may vary)

The short version of this review is that this shampoo plus prescribed finasteride 1mg worked amazingly good for my hair loss issue (seemingly male pattern baldness) just after 3 months of consistent use. Read on for details. **-- How It All Started --I am a male in my 30s. I started noticing my hair thinning and falling off while combing and washing my hair about 3 months ago. It was probably a gradual process that started earlier than that though. I started taking pictures from above and saw significant thinning in the crown area. I was feeling quite miserable as no one would feel very good about losing hair. I immediately went online and researched on the best remedy. I found that the combination of finasteride 1mg (a prescribed medication) and some kind of shampoo that blocks DHT is the best solution. DHT is an enzyme converted from testosterone which will block and close off hair follicles leading to male pattern baldness. Taking finasteride 1mg also has an effect of stopping or slowing the generation of DHT in the body. The combination of the two have shown positive results for many. So I contacted my physician for the prescription and started my search for my hair loss shampoo.-- Choosing My Shampoo --I debated between the Pura d'or and a few other brands of hair loss shampoo. Reviewers said Nioxin has changed its formula and it no longer works as before. DS Laboratories is too expensive. And a few others didn't give me a feeling that they are as natural as Pura d'or and some didn't even mention that they are free of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) which is the another substance that leads to hair loss. I checked the Pura d'or website and read the description of this shampoo. I like the fact that it is using 100% natural and organic substance in the shampoo so I decided to go with it.-- Results Will Take Some Time --I washed my hair carefully everyday and I tried not to scrub my scalp too hard. For about two and a half months, I didn't see any positive results. I would still see about 15 to 20 strands of hair as I was washing my hair. I see hair falling off while combing my hair and I see strands of hair on my desk from time to time. About a month in, I almost wanted to give up and switch to Ultrax Labs Hair Surge since it contains caffeine to, supposedly, stimulate hair growth. I was desperate but Ultrax Labs is simply too expensive since I know that I will in this for the long haul. So I stuck with it and diligently took my medication daily. Afterall, the Pura d'or website did say it will take a few months to see results. Before and after pictures shown on the website were between three to six months.-- Conclusion After 3 and a Half Months --About the time when I have used Pura d'or and have taken finasteride 1mg for close to three months, I started to notice my hair was not falling off as much as before. While washing my hair, I was seeing no more than 5 strands of hair. I was so happy to see this consistently and I was glad that I stayed with the Pura d'or and finasteride combo. I notice that my hair is more dense and I can feel it while combing my hair even at the area where it used to be thin. My wife actually saw significant improvement even AFTER a recent haircut. I am pretty satisfied with that just after 3 and a half months of treatment!And Pura Dor is not expensive at all. A 16 oz bottle costing $22 would last me half a year. I have gone through half a bottle in three months washing once a day, sometimes twice a day. And a side note on the cost of finasteride 1mg, it's about $27 for 100 pills from Costco. So this came out to about $150 per year for this treatment. Not too bad given how much hair transplant may cost or how bad I may feel if I go bald.One caveat, I was using Pura Dor and taking finasteride 1mg at the same time. So I can't say Pura d'or was fully responsible for my positive results. But give that my physician told me it may take nine to 12 months for me to see results from the drug, I have high confidence that my shampoo had something to do with it. I also take Biotin 5000mg on most days in a given week but it only makes hair healthier, it doesn't have any effect on preventing follicles to close up. But I assume it gives my hair a healthier look.If you feel that you may have or you are already suffering from male pattern baldness and hair loss is not a result of some other illness, give this a try.Help other customers find the most helpful reviewsWas this review helpful to you?

YES, IT WORKS!!! I buy TONS from Amazon and this will actually be my first review, I know, I know, it's terrible, especially since we gain so much from customer experience, will definitely try to change that!But back to the matter at hand, this shampoo is really heaven sent. I started noticing some thinning, which to this day I can't tell you where my hair went since I never experienced any shedding, due to a beta blocker temporary medication I was taking for my anemia. But since my, down to my waist, hair was so incredibly thick, it took me almost a year to realize what was happening. (So thick I had to shave the back of my head, as if I had a bob haircut, in order to wear it down and my fam always said I couldn't possibly get lice because they wouldn't find a way to my scalp, lmao!). Like many of you I FREAKED and started the research, smoothies and vitamins route. I also got the many you're crazy I don't see it comments, but even though nobody could see it YET, I refused to wait until they could! Unfortunately, nothing gave me noticeable results. Then, one night, while searching for the 1000000000 time on Amazon, I came across this GEM, and due to the wonderful reviews, I decided to give it a shot...SO GLAD I did!I've used it ONLY 3 times and already see results! After the first use, the fullness was visible, my scalp felt so much better and refreshed and 2 days later the hair sprout began! After the second use my crown was no longer visible! It leaves your hair fuller, healthier, shinier and SUPER soft! (FYI: Results will vary since my hair grows super quick and the thinning never affected the growth, just the volume. Also note that it may be a combination of things I'm doing, of which I'll discuss below. That said, no other products I've tried gave me these results!)A Few TIPS: Since I usually wash my hair 2 times a week, in between those days I applied the shampoo directly on my problem areas daily and even used it as hair gel when slicking hair back for a ponytail. This way I could get as much of the exposure as possible without stripping my hair oils with excessive washing. (FYI: If you have issues with sebum accumulation, you're better off avoiding this TIP!).In ADDITION To The Shampoo I Have Also Recently Added: Biotin (10k for the last 3 months), Prenatal Gummy Vitamins (Started 3 days ago), Viviscal Professional Strength (Started 1 week ago, 2 capsules per day), Vitamin D (My level was at 9, :-O YIKES!!, when it should be around 100 to be optimal for hair growth. Taking 10k D3 a day for the last month), Fish Oil & Omega 3's (1 capsule daily), B-Complex & B12 (1 capsule daily), Calcium (1 capsule daily), Warm or Cold Lemon Water Cup Daily, Coconut Oil Hair Mask (Have done only 1, so far), My YUMMY Daily Ice Cream Tasting Smoothie (Wheat Germ, honey, almond milk vanilla, cinnamon, vanilla extract, olive oil & raw egg yolk), 3 Minute Daily Scalp Massages (With Wahl massager), Derma Roller (Done it twice so far, will continue to do once a week) & Castor Oil (I add it after the Derma Roller treatment, only twice so far. Go easy on the oil, dilute it if possible, it can get really greasy if too much is added).And last but certainly not least, patience...be patient! I know how extremely difficult it can be, but remember that your hair didn't get this way overnight, and therefore will need the same amount of time and hair cycles to fully recover! Don't focus on the loses, since that loss is most likely due to the hair cycle that has already been damaged, always try to focus on the gains, and slowly but surely your hair will recover!!! :-DLey

Just got the bottle will be updating as the weeksgo by. Seems their might alot of fake reviews so I want their to be a real one on here for others to trust. I have thinning temples and been losing hair since I was 19. I am 25 now and can no longer hide it. I have a full thick hair but damn near bald spots on my temples. I read the ingredients and hopeing it works. Im not taking any medications or anything else for my hair. No vitamins either. I am however taking acv (apple cider vinegar). I havent seen a difference with taking that so I dont think it would be a factor if this product works for me or not. First wash doesn't smell terribly bad. I cant smell it in my hair after a wash. The lather is good. Ive tried other natural shampoos and the lather sucks. I had been usint baby shampoo Johnson and Johnson brand new formula. This shampoo feels way better. Did not leave my hair dry even after i blew dry it.(I know bad for hair). Another thing I liked was it didn't leave my hair all sqeaky like other shampoos. I used hot water at first than cold cold water on mu hair right back before I get out. I think a good rinse is wise. For now im basing the star review on the shampoo lather experience which is good solid shampoo.
