I would like to know if the people in the reviews had chemically damaged hair, or hair loss due to child birth, or was it due to age?

Yes to all questions... I always had long thick hair growing up. I felt like after I had my son, a year later my hair became sensitive to hair dye. I love being on the lighter side with my hair but those chemicals became more harsh to my hair. I needed to start somewhere for help. I'm not 100 percent sure if viviscal is the answer but I feel it is some what helping me. Felicia

I do have dyed hair but not damaged , I take vivsiscal because I have slow growing hair . And over the last 18 months I have been taking this my hair has gotten thicker and a lot longer and quite a bit healthier looking . I love it and will continue using it.

My hair had been damaged from relaxing- burnt scalp, tired and dried out. I highly recommend Viviscal to help you grow stronger healthier hair. I started seeing results within 2-3 months (dependent on your hair cycle) but this is a great product!

I am 60 years old, but take this product because my hair has always been very thin and fine (and blonde.) I also color my hair (double process) to make my hair thicker and more manageable, but this is very hard on hair. I have seen some improvements with this product.

I have no answer for this, but took a look at the products that a lot of the 5 star reviewers reviewed. It appears as if a lot of them reviewed the same supplements, books, wire hangers, and LED lights. Smells like paid reviewers to me. The likelihood that all of those people happened to purchase and love all of the same products is almost impossible.

Hi Lisa, i personally didńt like this product. I found it to be full of chemicals and with a fake smell. I would recommend 100% pure, organic Argan Oil. A little gies a long way and it is great for your and your babýs hair and scalp. My wife uses it every day on both our kids hair and skin, especially during the winter. She likes the Zakia's Morocco oil. Good luck and best regards.

I received the product. I followed the instructions provided. The problem was the strong chemical smell that I could not handle. I turned on fans in an attempt to disperse the odor, but it was strong that the fans were blowing it from my head to my nose. I had to rinse it out immediately. My hair is in the worst shape I've seen it. It is dull and doesn't shine any more.I was truly disappointed in this product. I have used other Brazilian Keratin products purchased from Amazon, with great results. I have to wait a number of months before I apply another product. I hope this addresses your question.

Hair breakage was the reason I bought it. I am not sure if it has prevented it or not. But it does not seem to be any worse, so I guess that is a good thing.

I've read articles about it helping with thinning hair, but if you read the reviews...it's making lots of people loose lots of hair. Use with caution.

It does have chemicals, but it works wonders for the hair. I have twin bi-racial daughters and there is a night & day difference in their hair after I use the product. I use two full kits on each of them (they have a lot of hair) and I have not had any problems what so ever with the product. I am actually going to do their hair again today with the texture softener. Their once tight curls are much looser and lay beautifully.

The first one I ordered was like yours and my hair is naturally white. Yes it works. I also like the hair conditioner. I'm told it will restore your hair back to what it was before your most recent loss. So don't expect to have hair like you did in your 20's. My hair loss was stress related and it did help bring it back. I continue to use it because it seems I'm frequently stressed.

Well I think the product is not real in despite the hair look like other Irons. I was comparing this Iron with the real Babyliss and it has not many parts as real babyliss. Sorry it is my opinion. Is a good copy but your hair never look as well as when you use a original babyliss.

I want to thank you for posting this review. I am in a simular situation as yourself. I have vowed to stop using relaxers due to thinning in the crown of my head. I have thick corse hair and stopped perming it around December of 2007 and have only had it washed and flat ironed since then. I have been fearing that the flat iron would not work after a while. But after reading your post my mind is at ease. Thanks for the conditioning tips also. :)

I read these reviews and bought one anyway, because I loved how my hair looked after my stylist used it on me and because I figured that I take much better care of my things than most people do. I actually used it twice and it burned out!! I was disgusted!! Amazon refunded my money, thankfully!! That was a couple of years ago and NOW that I see people are still complaining about this occurring and I've experienced it, I haven't repurchased another. Buyer beware!

It is a very personal choice when making a decision to use any product on a developing young person's hair or body. In this case, I would recommend that you research the ingredients at http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ and decide if you want to use this HSI product on a child of any age. Organic Coconut Oil, babassu oil, and other organic products for hair would be possible alternatives. Be beautiful and be healthy...I wish you the best.

Your hair is a living organism and has roots, so it makes more sense to nourish it from the inside out instead of the outside in. The pills worked better for me b/c the treatment caused sores on my head where the pills did not hurt me at all. My dermatologist put me on the pill but they raised the price to a ridiculous amount and I can no longer afford it.

Actually my daughter had hlighlightend hair and it was fine. There is a new product out though through the doctor. I think I left notes on it in another questions someone had. My daughter has suffered for year and now is all cleared up and they had a card from the company so it was almost free. Ask your doctor. If you cant fine it, and I will look for it in her files. Only trying to pass on helpful info as she suffered for years with her saboric dermatitis

For each person it is different. One of my daughters used it and it worked that day. The other who had badly damaged hair it did not work at all. She did go to a salon and they did a treatment and it looks great now.

I have lost over 50% of my hair, and it was fine before Wen. I would encourage you to stay away from it, my hair has not yet shown signs of coming back.

No.. Let me add that I work for a hair transplant Dr.. And any reputable one will tell you that 99% of your hair fall out is determined at the moment of CONCEPTION!!!. It's DNA ... there are outside factors such as a sickness , pregnancy ,diet etc..But that would be the 1%.. The fall out happens below the surface.. Just ask someone in the hair field..
