Thinning hairline: Putting products to the test

[webby]

Ok...so I'm back from NYC and I'm now ready to officially take on my thinning hairline.

Funny thing is that even with my thinning hair line, I STILL had to sit under the darned dryer for TWO AND A HALF HOURS

So, here's the arsenal:

ORS - Temple Balm
Una Oxygenating Treatment (water based), which I purchased from my regular stylist.
Nioxin
Nexxus Viatress
Roots (The indian mixture that helps with dandruss, split-ends and hair loss)
Essential Oil Mixture - Rosemary, Lavendar, Wheatgerm in Grapeseed oil.

I have never had a thinning hair problem and hair is still quite thick, so I'll be curious to see what results, if any I get.

I took pics today, hope to get them posted soon. I'm going to keep a photo-journal...so, we'll see if ANY of these products can get my hairline back in working condition, cause I was so frustrated that I almost went Sinead O'Connor yesterday, hmmmmmf

I may do some mixing (ORS with Vitaress)

Webby,

Definitely keep us posted! I was looking at the ORS serum and balm today, but put it down. My hair and nape lines need a little, er, encouragement.

For the most part, do you plan on using them individually for a period of time for comparison purposes?

I have been using Vitress and Nioxin for about a month with no outstanding results. I will use the products invidually, for a month, documenting what I use and when I use it, but I may also mix a couple of products before the month is out.

I noticed thinning about a year ago, so I'm trying to be as proactive as possible.

Also OT: I'll be taking back the Matrix fortifying Shampoo that I bought from the white stylist. It has a great lather, but left my hair too stiff and tangles.

Yes, keep posted girl! I'll be looking out for your feedback.....
this seems to be a prevalent problem for many of us...

My ish wasn't that thick to begin with...but after that tight behind braid job...
I'm traumatized...never again will I let my hairline be braided....

Thinning hairline and bald spot was my problem when I first joined the board.
Nioxin Follicle Booster and Profectiv Anti thinning creme got my hairline growing back I saw results in two weeks with the follicle booster.
I found out my culprit was relaxing my hairline when it grew back in bad mistake and I had to start all over again.
I got better results using ORS uplifting poo than the nioxin poo which is more expensive.
I tried ORS Temple balm,Nexxus Biotin Creme and Surge.

Good luck with your products Webby. I worked really hard to get my hair line back and I am sooooo thankful that it has grown and hopefully will continue to grow back.

The Nexxus biotin creme is good but would often leave white residue in my hair. I went to work like that and happened to look closely in the mirror and it looked like I had dandruff (very embarassing).

i've been using the pomada de azufre for abotu two weeks. i just washed last night, and just now finished blow-drying. i think, but i'm not absolutely sure, that its working on my hairline. wheni went to dry the front of my hair, i was shocked because i notice the hair in the front looked like it had been broken off or something. then i realized that it must be new hair growing in because when i blow-dried it 2 weeks ago, it was definitely more sparse. keep your fingers crossed. hopefully, i'll be able to tell for sure in a few weeks.

In the past, I have used the ORS temple balm (not the liquid) and it works pretty good. Lately, I have been using Nexxus Biotin Creme, which I really like. I use it on my hairline and kitchen area, and it has been working. I also use a rosemary, lavender with jojoba oil mix on my scalp.

It definitely DOES! I noticed that too, which is why I try to use it with my oil mixture, to prevent buildup and residue.

This happened to me too, so I started putting a little oil with it and it stopped happening. I never use Viatress alone no. Plus I use it every other day.

Is that your baby in your avatar? (what a cutie ) If so, he/she may be the cause of the thinning hairline. That's what caused mine to thin. I never, EVER had a problem until after my son was born.

Interestingly, I think that I am finally starting to see sprouts in one area. I don't want to rejoice just yet...just keeping my eyes open, ya know.

I finally started using ORS this weekend and I must say that it's the least messy, leaves the least amount of buildup and is not greasy, as I expected.

I think that I'm finally seeing sprouts in one trouble area.
