I'm the self-titled authoritarian on going bald. Even if I walked into a committee meeting by accident, and the agenda of the meeting was 'going bald', and the committee and the board were all composed of bald men, and it was chaired by Patrick Stewart, I would own that entire room of chrome domes. A while back I was commissioned to write an article on going bald. I revealed how I tried desperately and in vain to prevent my hairs fatalism. I went to specialist clinics that were so dire and back alley, they wouldn't have looked out of place in a listicle of the country's best derelict buildings. I watched endless videos of supposed brand ambassadors such as Jimmy White and Shane Warne talk about these clinics with horribly dubbed voices. Clinics where doctors no longer become doctors, but car salesmen, trying to jettison their phony untested treatments much like my crown was mercilessly jettisoning my hair follicles.

Soon after the article was published I was approached by a company called iRestore, who wanted me to test their product. For transparency I'm only a few weeks into the trials, and even these have been interrupted with trips and general 'life getting in the way'. But I wanted to put the brand out there because for some people, this could be a totally pain-free, drug-free solution to hair loss via laser and LED light technology. The product is an FDA-cleared medical device that uses clinical-strength laser technology to treat thinning hair and regrow fuller hair for men and women who suffer from androgenic alopecia (genetic hair loss). It uses non-invasive red light therapy to stimulate rapid growth of thicker and healthier hair. The light energy is absorbed by hair follicles to enhance cell metabolism rate and increase energy production. This biochemical process extends the growth phase of the hair growth cycle and reactivates dormant hairs to combat receding hairline, balding, and thinning hair.

Of course there are add-ons and bi-products such as the iRestore Hair Growth Shampoo. This restorative formula is made in USA with essential nutrients that revitalise damaged, thinning hair for more fullness, shine, and body. Key ingredients include hydrogenated castor oil, amino acids, antioxidants, and other vital nutrients that promote the ideal scalp environment for preventing hair loss and thinning hair. The iRestore 3-in-1 Hair Growth Formula combines the most scientifically researched ingredients that have been proven to trigger growth of thicker, fuller hair. This potent formula includes biotin, saw palmetto, and their DHT blocker blend to improve hair density and volume quickly.

In addition there is also the iRestore Hair Growth Serum which is formulated with patented molecules, Redensyl, which proliferate hair stem cell activity and nourish hair follicles to promote rapid hair growth. This powerful formula is clinically proven to stimulate growth of thicker, fuller hair for both men and women. In clinical studies, 85% of participants who used this Redensyl formula experienced significant hair growth in just three months. Although individual results may vary, users can expect to see astonishing hair growth from this breakthrough in biotechnology.

We look into the market for Hair Growth Shampoo and Serums, in particular the iRestore Hair Growth Redensyl formula and clinical-strength laser technology.
