No way January 30, 2010 krbtv (Fort Worth, TX) I can't tell you if here remedies will work or not because I refuse to put that stuff on my head.
Excellent book October 24, 2009 Macgyver (Cyberverse) I got a copy of this book in 1996. It was my first book on the use and making of natural herbal products. It is an excellent book for skin treatments, but does not address the use of diet supplements like fox tail [silica], ginko, or Ho shu wu [shen min]
use jojoba as the base oil. If you try some on your finger tips you will notice that it hardly feels oily at all. that's because it is very close to the oil your skin produces naturally. add drops of basil and rosmary to that. this will improve your results and lower your costs.
Dr. Bronners liquid castile soap. to use as a shampoo is easy to get and not expensive.
Good but I'll pass........... March 19, 2009 Solo Chic (My Own.....) This book is a throw back.........WAY back! I pulled some tips from it such as scalp stimulater, henna pac, shampoo method and that's about it.....It's not geared for women of color but i found those three tips useful for me regardless..... It talks a lot about balding white males BUT i applied her insight to my own hair issues so I was pleased to some extent...
It was an okay read and for the price I was cool with it......
It doesn't work March 16, 2003 4 out of 6 found this review helpful
I was very disappointed with this book. As the other reviewers mentioned, the treatments are expensive to buy, complicated to make, and it stinks. And after all that hassle, I'M STILL BALD!
Great book....Here are the facts May 19, 2001 Todd Hecht (Tampa, FL) 62 out of 63 found this review helpful
I started to see thinning of my hair a few hairs(years) ago....so after much research on the internet I bought this book and I bought everything that Riquette recommends..The oils, shampoo, vodka, aspirin, alka selzters, everything was priced at about $150.00. If you go to Whole Foods you can buy the oils and shampoo for reasonable prices..get the basic oils....generic.THE RESULTS: After the first week or so I saw improvement in my hair texture. After first month I saw more thickness. After about three months I did see hair growth AND continued hair thickness. I think the stimulator oils and the slougher cocktail are the KEY ingredients..Just get the rosemary, almond, basil oils..forget the rest of the oils save your money! The reason I am telling you this is because rosemary promotes circulation of the scalp..and I have read many books on hair loss that promote rosemary, basil, and almond oils to promote circulation..look at the books Nutrition for Dummies and also The Bald Truth. Definitely get the flaxseed volumizer..and use that in place of your gel and hairspray..this keeps the scalp clean and adds thickness to the hair! As for the shampoo...skip it...it is too messy and too much of a hassle to make the shampoo..however if you want the best results then use the shampoos..but remember the KEY Ingredients are the basic oils(rosemary, basil, and almond oils) and the slougher cocktail. As for the shampoo and those of us who are on a tight budget...Just use plain ordinary IVORY SOAP to wash your hair with..a friend who has thick hair swears by ivory soap in making her hair thicker..im a male I have tryed it and I like it..it is 99.9 % percent pure and it seems to be working very well. It definetly adds thickness ..as far as hair growth ..probably not..I have tryed other organic shampoos with good results but they are expensive as hell..sometimes I switch back and forth using organic shampoos and ivory soap ..JUST MAKE SURE SHAMPOO IS herbal or organic or FREE OF CHEMICALS thats all you have to remember to keep your scalp clean..also you can try a product called super hair energizer..it is at superhairenergizer.net..it works well..but again it is expensive to me..10 dollars a bottle and thats not including the other products you have to use. THE GOOD NEWS: The product works! I have tryed many many other hair growth products with much less success. Also other testimonials indicated they had good results too...The author had very very thick hair on the cover of the book. Even in the regular photos of her she has thick hair..she claims to use products and it worked for her..and it certainly worked for me and worked for others..give it a try. THE BAD NEWS: The rosemary and basil oils which are the stimulators stink pretty bad. I have asthma so I had breathing problems from these two oils just becsuse the aroma was so strong..if you dont have asthma then you should be fine if you can tolerate the smell. The price is moderate but in the long run you save money.. Other bad news if you want hair you have to work for it..that means mixing and making products and living with the smell and hoping your spouse can tolerate it at night..the products can get messy too. Good Luck to you and I hope you grow a thick crown. (...)
