San Marino studies conduct study on aloe vera as a hair loss treatment

Hmmm.....interesting I didn't know there wasn't that many studies done on aloe vera. I know some users said they have tried it but hair regrowth probably takes years

Forgot to post link? lol sorry

Sooooo what do you guys think?

Not sure if it's because I'm so tired and i shouldn't be judging stuff but his hair looks the same if not a little bit worse in the 6 months pic, only difference is his hair is a little bit longer.

It was very nice to see the kids involved in scientific exploration.

In my opinion, the results are disappointing. At best, I see a little improvement in hair quality but that would be about it. If anything, this goes to show that aloe, at least on its own, does not do much for hair. And this when participants applied the gel daily for 10 to 12 hours to wash it off at night.

Full credit to the youngsters and the three gentlemen for their earnest study, though.

In the first picture I think the results looked like the hair had more density. I do agree with the other pictures that it looked like it got worse. Maybe they mixed the order of the photos up?

They said they are doing a update in April

Look closer, Hbb! They have not updated the audio at all, but they have actually updated the pics from 6 months in the first vid to 9 months in this.

It looks like participant 1 had a bit of regrowth at the 9 month mark. No progress is apparent for patient 2. Same for patient 3, but maybe he has progressed a tiny bit on the sides.

That said, participants 2 and 3 are advanced on the NW scale, 5+. Participant 1 is most interesting for study purpose- he has frontal recession as well as vertex balding. He seems to have regrowth in both, particularly noticeable in the 9 month pics. His temples seem to have thickened, although he has changed the way he has combed his hair in the 9 month pic. Hopefully he has not been taking Rogaine on the side

So, I'm changing my opinion. Subjects 2 and 3 have advanced hairloss, and probably wouldn't have been picked by a company doing a field trial for their new hair growth formula. So, their lack of benefit does not mean that aloe vera is ineffective for the rest.

Which really means that they had solely one proper participant who was not already advanced- participant 1, and he seems to have done well on aloe vera gel. It does look like regrowth to me.

Once again, kudos to the kids and participants for their earnestness in telling their real world experiment. And thanks to you for sharing with us here.

Ill check it out again it was near 4 in the morning I was tired lol. I will be adding Aloe Vera to my regime. Organic Coconut oil, Emu Oil and Aloe Vera Hopefully a potent mix!!! So glad there is kids out there trying to do studies like this!

I am also assuming these guys are not even on a good diet or food plan. Or if they even indulge in alcohol, what their sleep work patterns are. I am sure they have been losing hair for over 10 years

aloe vera is very rich in msm...so im sure aloe vera helps..

aloe vera
msm
dmso
