Thats true, although i have to say that Folligen has cleared up my scalp in a way no other product has, and i have noticed less shedding as well...

i may just have to watch how close i cut my hair, cause the green side effect hasnt gone away...

I'm going to apply an extra amount for st.patrick's day. :hairy:

 

[guy83]

How many times a week do u guys apply? I do it like 3 times a week. Before Igo to bed and rinse it out the next morning.
Is that good?

How long does a typical bottle of Folligen last you boys? I'm going to purchase the thing tonight and ordering over the internet is going to be pricy.. Probably work out to over 50 Canadian. In conjunction with minoxidil/nizoral/proscar/ I can't handle to ditch out 50 bucks if it will only last one month.

I would have to believe that it lasts at least six months, i have been applying 1ml every night for the past two months and the bottle is still 3/4 full......

I apply the minoxidil then folligen right after that. The folligen itches my scalp.. does that mean its kickin? lol

 

[Kramer3]

Jblig: Good to know. Makes it much more affordable. Do you know if thats the same size bottle that gourmetstylewellness.com offers?

The normal reaction of scalp when starting folligen is to itch upon application. Over time, this goes away.

We take that as a sign that the scalp is "getting healhier."

I have hair

I have blonde hair and I thought it sucked that I couldn't use Copper Peptides because it supposedly leaves a green tint in blonde hair, but after reading this article: http://www.regrowth.com/hair_loss_information/sod.cfm

it seems Tin Peptides do a better job at stimulating hair growth. Tin peptides are used in Folligen for Blondes (Stannous Cloride) I think they sell it as a lotion and not a spray like some of you prefer.

I doubt this very much. Dr Loren Pickart even claims on his site Copper-Tin "Seems" to work as well as Copper-Peptide. Were it to not have the potential to stain a scalp or hair, the entire Folligen line would be the Copper-Tin version. Copper-Peptides have been around for awhile. Copper-Tin is a guessing game. Go with what Dr Loren Pickart says. His product after all.

Oh yeah, it stung quite a bit for me at first where I was gritting my teeth for about 10 minutes. My scalp condition was so bad I kind of expected this. Now it seems to have a cooling effect and it rarely stings. I love the stuff. Plus with how cheap it is, it's worth a shot for anyone having irritation. An 8 oz bottle for $30 or so should last between 8 to 12 months. I still have some of my 2 oz bottle after almost 2 months.

What are you referring to when you say Copper-Tin? (Tin-Peptide)??

Did you mean Copper-Peptide?

Yeah.....lol

I got them switched.

Yes same size, Actually I ordered it from gourmetstylewellness.com......

for you guys using Folligen, would you say it actually has the potential to convert vellous hairs to terminal, or is it just a good addition to combat inflamation. (which I gues could in turn help your hair to grow)

I use emu oil for its ability to help my other topicals penetrate better and for inflamation, just wondering if its overkill to use emu and folligen for essentially the same thing, as an anti-inflamitory.

I really have no idea, since I have always used multiple treatments. Dr Pickart would be a good source for an answer.

Ditto on the second question. I have no experience with EMU oil.
