This is Mike (Lazerfish). I ordered some Scalpure a few weeks back. I have used it a total of 4times now. Leaving it on the scalp between 30 to 40 minutes as instructed. This stuff works nice! Easy to apply and rinses off easy as well. My hair feels thicker and healthier after each treatment. Of course I have only used it 4times, but I can say that the overall 'Look and Feel' of my hair looks better especially if I follow up the Scalpure Treatment with a Laser Session. I have a fairly half decent amount of hair now from using Lasers, Avodart and Xandrox, so my goal is to find something that I can use with Lasers to add some more fullness and vibrance to my hair and to round out my treatment regiment. Hopefully Scalpure can help here. I'll keep you guys updated! Mike!

sorry, i don't buy this post (no disrespect intended). You used it 4 times, you should know better than to post a positive review of something you use 4 times. Second you add as if it were an afterthought "specially if I follow up..with a laser session", that is total bull, as how can you say "specially" if you've only done it 4 times? How many times did you "not" follow up with a laser session to come to the brilliant conclusion that scalpure works better if you follow up with a laser session? This type of posting is completely misleading. Again, no disrespect, but my bs antennae just picked up this signal.

It' s my opinion on using it several times. My hair and scalp feels better. I didn't say it was a miracle, I just said from the initial use of it, my hair feels and looks better. The scalp feels cleaner and this has made the laser treatments feel better. If you don't believe that, well that is your problem. You seem to have a negative attitude to most every treatment that is talked about on this site even though you probably haven't used half of them. Good Luck.

I've used scalpure for a little over two months now....as I've stated before, I like the product. Here's my review: cosmetic hair product: neutral. (hair shinier, but don't like the frizz) scalp product: very good (feels great when applied and scalp looks healthier over time) skin product: very good (dab on pimples or use as a face masque....excellent results) laser use: ok (cleans scalp well before hand, but time consuming as a combined treatment)
hair growth: n/a (the verdict is still out...only two months use, but so far nothing)

Mike, like I said I don't mean any disrespect and I appreciate your reply. And yes, I do have mostly negative comments in respect to most of the treatments I see here. Shouldn't I? Shouldn't we all? Most of them don't work to save a rat's derriere. Do I want to post a positive comment on something I use 4 times that has not created any "regrowth" as per the name of ths site which may induce someone to spend good money? I think not. I am just trying to filter out most of the fluff so we can indeed deal with treatments than may work and/or give sufficient time to assess treatments that show promise.

Mike, you know what, on second thought. I take it all back, sorry. Maybe I am too negative. Maybe I am just fed up that after 42 years of dealing with this crap, what we've got to show is an accidental drug made for heart patients, some home concoctions that have not been tested, some laser units that don't deliver consistent results and a few other lotions and potions that amount to peanuts compared to the billions of dollars spent on hairloss solutions.

I agree with you somewhat jaydee. I have been fighting hairloss for 25yrs. Granted, not as long as you, but long enough to see my fair share of scams. You are right, there isn't any treatment available now that can beat hairloss hands down. However there are some things when used together may help some. They have helped me. Sure lots of it comes with side effects for some, unfortunately there just isn't any magic bullet treatment. My goal in trying Scalpure was not for regrowth but just to maybe thicken my hair up, give my hair more of an overall healthy look.
I am hoping it will. So far it makes my hair and scalp feel nice. That is all I wanted to report. You have a choice with High Powered Lasers!

I order two bottles too .. I have not got them yet and I will post my update on this thread once I get them I will stop proscar and see ... finsteride is not working as it used to in the past but this thing is very expensive ... one bottle lasts two weeks only. This guy is planning to get rich very quick. If merk made such a price, I would understand .... on average they spend 3 billion on R&D before even it get accepted by FDA But I hope there is no undisclosed ingredients like dusteride or stuff like that if his product work, I will find an alternative or make my own like the other guys.... and he will loose of course cz of his greed

Oh Romio...come on man....You have something against someone making money through hard work, starting their own business and offering a product that some may enjoy using???
Are you a communist?? LOL!! Good thing McCarthy is not around anymore!! LOL! You have a choice with High Powered Lasers!

Romio....each of my bottles lasted a month, not two weeks. My hair is cut short so maybe that's why it lasted so long.

I am not against someone becoming rich if they make something useful to the world.... I am very capitalist .... but he should be more reasonable. if his product really work, then half the price he is charging will still make him rich in a year .... specially if the product become popular I don't think he can patent it, these ingredients have been used before in differrent products before specially for the face ..... so his only hope is loyal satisfied customers his website says one bottle contain 7-9 applications for short hair ...... so if applied every other day, it should last 14-18 days ......... so how did last a month for you mj
I have seen other posts saying that the application should be thick to work will and that means less applications per bottle

Romio, I read the same about the number of applications when I first bought it. BUT, I judge the effectiveness by how red the scalp appears after use...a little goes a long way, especially if you have wet your hair. I also apply more on top than on the sides. Unfortunately for me, money is getting tight. Wife has pointed out that I'm spending too much on my hair...scalpure may be out of my regimen soon. I did see that they're having a 20% off sale right now, which does make the price more reasonable.
But between vitamins ($35 a month) ,the lasermax 80 ($600), nioxin ($40 a month) and scalpure (for me approx $25 a month)...I've definitely got to cut back somewhere...and mostly scalpure will be the first to go, followed probably by nioxin.

I do like scalp pure...but tough choices have to be made when money is tight. Here's my reasoning: The vitamins (curcumin/resveratrol/msm) have made me feel great...I'm not ever getting off of them. So it comes down to scalpure or nioxin follical boost. The laser I believe would benefit from both scalpure and nioxin in different ways...one as a pre-laser (scalpure) and one as a post-laser (nioxin) If I had to choose only one to keep it would be the nioxin. My viewpoint being that post-laser treatment is more important than a pre-laser treatment.
I do like the product, though, and if money weren't an issue I would probably stick with it...but seriously counting Topik, which I didn't mention earlier, my monthly "hair" bill is over $125...I had never added it up before and realized that that's just a ridiculous sum to spend on my hair.

I can cut that amount in half by cutting scalpure and nioxin....which I may have to do.

Scalpure
Regrowth.com Member Registered: Jun 2009 Posts: 35 |
mj, The other products you are using do not do what Scalpure does. I think you have been using Scalpure for a couple of months already. We recommend using it every other day or a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule for the first 7-12 months. After that you would use it only once or twice weekly to maintain the optimum environment that was created. If you use it only once or twice weekly at this point you would still be doing something that is great for your scalp. It would be more beneficial to follow the recommendations but again using it only once or twice weekly at this point would also be extremely beneficial. You mentioned curcumin is included in the supplement you are taking. I am glad that you like it but I think it is important to note that some people experience excess shedding from curcumin.

alright ... I had the first treatment yesterday of scalpure I dont understand those who said it is easy to apply this thing how to get the treatment to the skin. Once I put it on hir, it is hard to move between hair or massage.... It gets so sticky. I just put it on top of hair .... and that did not feel close enough to skin second I did not feel anything after I cleansed it off I had a white head on my face so I put some on ............. after i washed it out it did not disappear .... which mean nothing got sucked of pulled out. However few hours later it disappeared which mean that scalpure works by a different method than pulling things out

Scalpure
Regrowth.com Member Registered: Jun 2009 Posts: 35 |
romio1982, It is easy to apply when your hair is wet. It does not sound like your hair was wet. If your was wet it probably was not wet enough. You should just stick your head under the shower and then pull it out. Then towel off your face if you have water on your face but keep your hair wet. Then you apply Scalpure. With your hair wet, it is easy to push through your hair to the scalp. As you apply it through the hair spread it around and make sure you feel it all over the scalp. It is necessary for Scalpure to be in contact with the scalp. Then put a thin layer on top of that. Let it sit for 40 minutes. Then go in the shower and let the water melt it off of your head. It will gradually melt off. If you need to touch it gently in a couple areas to help soften it up that is fine. Do not scrub it out, it will melt off. When Scalpure is all rinsed off you would then wash your hair as usual. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Scalpure, Why one should not shampoo the hair before using Scalpure? Any negative effect as a result? I think if one shampoo the hair first, and apply the scalpure when the haire is still wet. Thane wash the hair again after 40 minutes, will the scalp be cleaner, and better for the hair?

just remember that shampoo takes away the natural oils in your hair...too much shampooing is bad for your hair. It will dry out your hair and scalp. clay first, then shampoo will clean your hair and scalp plenty.

Thanks for the reply scalpure, I was wondering because I use gel and hairspray, so if i do not shampoo before the use of scalpure I would still have the residue on my scalp. This is ok right?

How many ounces are in a jar of scalpure. Also, I assume that clay is the dominant ingredient, then ACV? I wanna make it myself if that is possible. The clay and ACV seem to be the most important ingredients. The host of oils are good choices though.
