Hello there,

I've used folligen in the past, but was never consistent enough to see results. However, I recently decided to give it a more committed try. However, my bottle is several years old. Does Folligen expire?

I've been reading a lot about Hair Signals lately too. I see interesting ingredients thrown in. I overtweezed my brows when I was younger, and they've since grown back, but the hairs are so thin and pale that they seem invisible. I'm looking for a product that will make the hairs thicker and darker. I wouldn't mind seeing new growth either. I'd also like to use it on my lashes too. I heard hair signals is too strong for the lash line. True? I don't mind buying two separate products if they'll work separately and to the greatest advantage for my lashes and brows. Suggestions?

The Folligen should be OK but it may develop a soy sauce smell from peptide breakdown.

This is our general advice on hair care for women.

Many hair products for women cause long term damage. Many hair experts think that women's hair was healthier 100 years ago. Old photographs
often show women in the 60s with hair down to their shoulders or their waist.

Skin Rejuvenating Copper Peptides often improve scalp and hair health.

This may help.

1.If your scalp is irritated, then to calm your scalp and help hair growth, the best would be to use the Emu Oil for Hair on your scalp in the morning and Folligen Lotion at night in denser hair areas and Folligen Cream on hairlines. Start with a very light amount of each. You do not need to wash it out in the morning.

2. If there is no irritation, then use Folligen Solution on your scalp - a small amount. Let it dry a little, then apply a light amount of Emu Oil-S for Hair. You do not need to wash it out in the morning.

3. If you have very blonde hair, then use Folligen for Blondes. This is a new lotion based on tin-peptides but most reports are very positive.

4. Our new Hair Signals Cream and Serum have a variety of DHT blockers and work better for some clients.

5. Also take daily supplements of MSM - 2 to 4 grams - and 1 gram each of flaxseed oil and borage oil.

6. To increase your hair's natural pigmentation, take an additional 2 mgs of copper daily. Hair pigments are made from the amino acid tyrosine by a copper-dependent enzyme call tyrosinase and copper is often in short supply in the human body.

7. Always use a minimum of shampoo and conditioner. Folligen Shampoo and Folligen Conditioner are very mild shampoos that help thicken and keep more moisture on the hair shafts.

8. Keep heat off your head - blow dryers can boil follicles. Hot oil treatments also damage hair follicles.

9. Stress can cause hair loss. Blood cortisol levels are raised and this inhibits skin repair. Often temporarily taking a daily supplement of 75 to 100 mgs of DHEA for a few months will block the damaging actions of cortisol.

10. Tight bindings, buns, braids, and so on, can cause hair loss. Keep your hair loose and fluffy.

11. Sometimes new hair growth can push out older hair shafts and there may be a brief period of hair shedding as the new hair shafts push out the old dormant hair shafts. Old, non-growing hair is held in the hair follicle for about four months before falling out.
