So what are these 5 steps and how do they re-grow your hair?

Step One: Moisturizing and Revitalizing: This is a moisturizing shampoo with special vitamins to cleanse the scalp.  This shampoo is supposed to revitalize your hair and strengthen the thinning hair you have.  The directions for this shampoo are specific to use a half of a palm size amount, shampoo in one direction beginning at the hairline and working backward on your scalp, rinse and repeat.

Step Two: An Enzyme Scalp Cleanser: This is a 100 percent organic cleanser that removes scalp buildup and sebum oils that can prevent hair growth.  With this cleanser, while still in the shower, you should spray 3 to 4 sprays on the thinning area of your scalp, rub it in and do not rinse it off.

Step Three: An Energizing Conditioner: Also while in the shower, you will use a conditioner that helps promote a healthy scalp. This condition has special proteins and wheat amino acids to protect your hair and scalp.  There is also a peppermint ingredient that stimulates the hair and scalp.  To proceed, again use a palm size amount, massage it into your scalp, leave it on your hair for 3 to 5 minutes and then rinse thoroughly.

Step Four: Hair Revitalizing Complex: Finally, out of the shower, a hair revitalizing dietary supplement is taken. This supplement contains vitamins B3, D, and E, Biotin, saw palmetto and nettle root.  It is taken twice daily, once in the morning and once at night.  The ingredients are similar to the ingredients in a similar product Procerin or the natural ingredients used individually for hair loss (such as saw palmetto).

Step Five: Minoxidil (2% or 5%): Minoxidil is an active ingredient in Rogaine and Xandrox, the most common hair loss treatments.  It is an FDA approved hair regrowth formula and is used by many balding men and women with great success.   The 2 to 5 percent strengths are dependent on the success you wish to achieve, as the 5 percent may have more side effects.

It is unclear if there are any side effects with the use of this treatment; however, Minoxidil may cause scalp irritation or redness, chest pain, a rapid heartbeat, faintness and unwanted facial hair growth.

As with all hair loss treatments, you should continue to care for your hair in the normal manner.  For example, you should wash your hair daily with a mild shampoo.  When your hair is dirty, the oil makes it looks thinner.  You should also use a conditioner, so as to not pull your hair.  And finally, in letting your hair dry naturally, you are saving your hair from heat damage.

So will you have results, your hair may appear thicker in about 4 to 6 months of use. In a study of individuals using this system, 90 percent have been shown to stop their hair loss or significantly reduce it and 35 percent had an improvement in hair growth.

It is also recommended that along with this program, you visit their area locations and undergo an in-house treatment.
