To Surge, or not to Surge...

[webby]

That is the question.
Ok, I'm still perfecting my no-more-shedding regimine. Thus far, I'm really estatic with the results. I've been using Penetraitt, Keraphix and Emergencee.

I'm now preparing to take the next step, which will be to grow my thinning hairline. I'm definitely going to try Nonie's oil recommendation, but I'd like to see what you all have to say with regards to Surge.

i think you shoul try it. keep in mind that some people have reactions to it. maybe you should test it first on a small area of your skin.

I recommend it. I just think it has to be done carefully. After the first time I surged, I found out that I surged differently from some people. I wash twice daily and spray the Surge immediately after my washes. Then I oil my hair. I had no problems doing this and I did it a little over 3 weeks and saw significant growth. This worked for me, so now I do not Surge unless I feel like washing my hair first. It's a little excessive, which is why I never Surge for long (usually 2-3 weeks at a time), but I figure, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Good luck /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

THe problem with testing is, she'd have to test for about a month or two, because it seems like that is when irritation seems to start for those who do get irritated by it. Then again, I guess it varies. I recommend it, but I think irritation is less likely when you condition wash or wash more than once per week. I think it has something to do with the 'mucco' build up. I read that in one of these threads a while back.

i recommend Surge...i first started using it May of this year...never had any problems out of it!

I recommend it, just as long as you wash your hair a lot.

I started using Surge on my thinning hairline about 2 weeks ago and I am definitely having positive results. I do make sure that I follow with a leave in and/or moisturizer.

I was gonna say the same thing about washing. What I've gathered from the bad reactions pple have had is that old Surge and fresh Surge should not mix. Or it could be the residue left behind after the benefitial part is absorbed that isn't good? /images/graemlins/scratchchin.gif So I second what Queenie said: wash often, do especially wash off the old Surge before a fresh application.

/images/graemlins/confused.gif I'm a little confused. I just bought Surge this weekend. I only wash my hair twice a week, but I've been applying the Surge 2x day. Am I damaging my hair? I don't have time to wash my hair 2x a day. Plus, as dry as my hair is, if I did
have the time to wash it 2x/day, it probably would break a lot. I guess my question is can I use Surge 2x/day and still wash my hair only 2x/week?

Thanks! I know you guys will help me out. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

The only reason there's an emphasis to wash hair often is because a lot of pple that didn't follow the instructions on the bottle (use twice daily after shampooing...or sth along those lines), got bad skin reactions to Surge. Not all people had the reaction though. So washing often is just a safety measure. If Surge isn't harming you when you use it as you have been doing, I say keep using it as you are.

I second that! I only wash my hair 2x a week and I Surge 2x a day followed by oiling my scalp and I haven't had any problems with it. I've got 4 kids and my youngest is 6 wks old so washing my hair everyday would be a task. I think if I didn't oil my scalp or spray another leave in afterwards than I probably would be having a bad reaction to it. As the saying goes if ain't broke don't fix it! It's working for you I say keep it up. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nonie / Jellynote:

Thanks so much! I can relax now. And so far, so good. No reactions.
