Review on πŸ’† Revitalize Hair with ACTIIV Recover Thickening Cleansing Shampoo Treatment for Men by Barb Bosch

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good for accelerating the growth of existing hair.

Due to a rather unfortunate series of events I basically 'restarted' my hair by tipping my head on the 1st. I can tell the crown is slightly longer than the back and sides for which this product was developed. The downside is the price - whether you're buying from Revain or Sportsclips, it seems to be the same everywhere. On the other hand, you need very little and one bottle should last you for months and months! Even before my "reboot" this year, my first bottle lasted a good 6 months if used correctly (remember, it's all about the SCALP). There's no consensus on the conditioner yet β€” it looks like it's basically just an aloe product that you apply and immediately rinse off. Definitely moisturizing, but not sure if it's anything special for actually thickening or (re)growing hair. In general I like the product, but the price is a little high. -- Nov. 17 Update 2021: I continued using the product a day after my original review with the same results. However, the longer I've been using it, the more I believe that essentially it just helps keep my scalp in good condition for (maybe) slightly increased hair growth that I already have, but not so much for growing new or previously fallen hair. . I will still use Nioxin shampoo on the weekends and rotate it out and my hair/scalp is definitely healthy. (The jury never looked at the air conditioning again. It still hasn't sold enough of it to buy more to say if there's been a noticeable difference with or without it since it went out.)

Pros
  • Rapid change
Cons
  • Almost never
