Aggie, caffeine powder never heard of this where you get it from please?

Well there is a caffeine shampoo called Alpecin that is made in the UK and apparently helps with stimulating hair growth. I cannot find it so I decided to make my own using caffeine powder in my shampoo and used on my scalp only.

The aim is to use a cone-free shampoo though and that is why I purchased the Avalon Organics Biotin B-Complex Thickening shampoo which has Saw Palmetto in it.

You can read reviews on the shampoo on www.vitacost.com. I am simply trying it out for a few weeks to see what happens. I may give it 4-6 months to give it a fair chance. If after that time I don't see marked results, then I'll quit using it:yep:.

Some studies of support can be found in the following links:

I feel you. I haven't thrown out ANY product....but I will gladly give away something that isn't working for me. Do you have any siblings,nieces, or cousins you could give it to?
 
Checking in....pre-pooing/dc now with heat for 30 minutes and without heat for another 30 minutes. In the shower, I will shampoo and do a quick cw.
 
Fell off the co-washing but I plan to do it tomorrow w/ suave humectant (i really love this con.)
 
Cowashed yesterday with Suave Damage Care condish (for a shot of protein), followed by Suave Humectant.:yep: Will probably cowash today with Suave Humectant.
 
Hair day! Doing my protein prepoo, will cowahs my scalp with Tresemme Naturals, deep condition, rinse, detangle, and then wet bun!
 
Still cowashing. I'm under a halfwig now and it's actually going pretty well. I got 6 dookie braids under it and I cowash ever other day. I've been alternating with the tresemme naturals and my beloved kbb deep conditioner. I have to add more conditioners to the rotation though. And I cowash with aphogee 2 min here and there as well.

Hey Ms. Shay!


How do you like Pantene's Nature Fusion? Thanks!

It is a great conditioner. Very thick (which I love) and my hair feels so soft afterwards. I just wanted to use more natural condishes and that's why I'm on a use up campaign. But in a pinch and if ran I out of my other condishes which I get online I would use this and Aussie Moist. Another great conditioner :yep:.
 
I cowashed yesterday with HV's Moist Pro. I :love: this conditioner. I bought a gallon of it during the last Hairveda sale.
 
Been a long time since I checked in. I am now cowashing (and leaving in) Tresemme Naturals Moisture conditioner. It has less slip than the GVP Detangler, but it has more moisture and it stays that way longer. So I went with what was more important. I do have 1 1/2 bottles of detangler to get through somehow though. I am gonna use it as pre-poo/mix it into my DC. Can't just waste money.

As the weather gets warmer, I am basically cowashing daily
 
Yep! I've been using it since this challenged started and it's become a staple. It's so thick and moisturizing!
 
I'm deep cowashing my hair right now possibly overnight with Joico Body Luxe Conditioner. I am feeling too lazy to wash it out right now.
