I bought this, along with the L'Anza Healing Nourish Stimulating Conditioner and Shampoo, as I've been losing a lot of hair the last few months because of stress and medication. I have naturally lots of hair, and losing such a great amount of hair in my age (I'm mid twenties) was not that nice... After looking up brands online, I chose this, as it had good reviews, had an alright price, and is not tested on animals. I've been using it only for about a week or so, but the result so far is good. Though I believe it might be more "meant to be" for men, as it's a bit hard to evenly apply thoroughly because of my long hair, I feel it has a nice effect. After the first use, my hair felt much more full bodied/voluminous. The smell is nice too, though some might consider it to be a bit "masculine", as it's sorta like a peppermint/menthol scent. I think it's very fresh and a bit different from your regular "fruity" hair products though. It does indeed tingle a bit in your scalp for a little, but considering it says it might on the package, it didn't come as a surprise. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing if this has any effect in the long term!
