SCAM ALERT & FRAUD

was about to order, but something told me to check the reviews...it's sad...they're preying on women...thanks to review like this, i'm steering clear of the sham...thanks for the review

I just wanted to say thank you to all who have listed their reviews! 

I too was going to order and thought I better check it out first and thank God I did! I'm so tired of hearing horror stories about these companies who pray on people! Their no different than snake oil salesmen!! Whatever happened to providing a product that works and taking care of your customers. If you have a good honest product toy wouldn't. Have all these pisseds off people! 

You can buy generic Rogaine at Walmart for$17.00 

Good luck to all and thank you again!

Wow, I'm glad I read these reviews, thank you ladies. 

I too got suspicious when I couldn't get a human being to answer a simple question before I gave my credit card number to the recording machine. Think I just dodged a bullet. Whew!

Started to order product and just as I began to give my card number something prompted me to stop and hang up! Went to internet and read all these megative reviews. Called my bank and becauseI did not give my whole number, I sidestepped a landmine.

• Keranique Revitalizing Shampoo 

The shampoo “gently cleanses your hair” and is “specially formulated for thinning hair, it leaves your locks shiny, fuller and voluminous.” There’s a good chance the shampoo does add volume to your hair, which I agree is a must-have if you are fighting thinning hair. However the second ingredient of the shampoo – Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate – is a harsh shampoo cleansing ingredient that I wouldn’t use on my hair, even if I didn’t have delicate, thinning hair. So there’s no way I would personally recommend this shampoo. I review several gentler SLS free shampoos here on my skin care blog, many of which I would recommend for thinning hair. 

 

• Keranique Hair Regrowth Treatment 

Hey guess what – this is a bottle of Rogaine/minoxidil, with a more expensive price tag. It contains the FDA approved 2% minoxidil, and the ingredients are identical to my generic 2% women’s liquid minoxidil. This treatment (hopefully) comes with all the same warnings as minoxidil, so make sure to read the warning label. Also, since minoxidil can cause your hair to initially fall out more, be prepared to possibly see increased shedding the first few months of use. If you currently use Rogaine or minoxidil, do not also use this product at the same time. 

 

• Keranique Follicle Boosting Serum 

Okay this Keranique product has caught my attention because it contains aminexil (also called kopexil), which is an ingredient that works similarly to minoxidil. I haven’t used any products that contain aminexil yet, but I actually want to, so this is a product I would try. There are a few other products on the market that also contain aminexil. I will have to look into them more, and apparently you can use this product in conjunction to minoxidil. I don’t know if this product carries the same risks and potential side effects as Rogaine/Keranique Hair Regrowth Treatment. 

* Buy Keranique Follicle Boosting Serum at Dermstore/Amazon 

* Buy other products containing Aminexil at Amazon 

 

• Keranique Volumizing Conditioner 

I don’t have too much to say about the Keranique conditioner. It’s supposedly a volume-boosting conditioner, but it’s expensive, so I’m sure you could find a much cheaper conditioner that works just as well. Or if you’re like me, you gave up on conditioner years ago because you don’t have enough hair left to condition. I find conditioner weighs my hair down too much and makes it stringy and limp. But maybe this conditioner is different? 

 

• Bottom line 

Like all infomercials/late-night sensational TV commercials, Keranique over-promises and under-delivers. Keranique hair products are not going to grow all your hair back, and there’s hardly anything revolutionary about their products. Some women have good results from minoxidil (which is what’s in their hair regrowth treatment), but few women regrow more than a little hair. The Keranique shampoo should be avoided because it’s too harsh for anyone’s hair. The Follicle Boosting Serum is promising, because some people have seen hair growth from the one main ingredient in the product. But I highly doubt the serum works better than Rogaine, which is not exactly a hair loss cure. My opinion is to skip Keranique altogether, or just try their Follicle Boosting Serum. You don’t need their Hair Regrowth Treatment because you can buy generic 2% minoxidil for cheap at your local drugstore, and their conditioner is not going to do anything to regrow your hair. Sorry for my negative review, but fanciful claims about stopping hair loss and regrowing hair drive me crazy!
