MVPSOFT,
Yes I do use the accelerator. Basically what it does is it helps remove sebum from the scalp. It is supposed to remove calcium build up on the scalp and surrounding the follicles. In the lab in Italy they basically found this residue (includes calcium) that was impeding topicals from getting into the follicles (mainly kevis). It is supposed to help improve the efficiency of the topical. I have not really read into the research surrounding that product so I don't know much about it. I guess take it for what it is, but do not expect much from it. However, they have a new product out called HSOR, which basically goes after DHT changing its structure and rendering it useless within the dermal layers of the scalp (dht fighting enzymes). I have read the research on this. However, there are no clinical studies to support its effectiveness although it looks pretty damn good on paper. The accelerator does make your hair look alot thicker. I like the stuff.
Jimmy,
My hair is light blonde and under certain lightings I can really see my scalp. I try to keep it cut short although I prefer to have a little longer hair. My hair is much longer than it usually is and looks good due to the kevis. Kevis really makes the hair look thicker so I am able to grow it out a little longer (i'm talking cosmetically thicker not actual thicker hair yet). Revivogen does have potential!! The studies are there to support using it, especially those fatty acids. I just could not take the irritation anymore. As far as sheds go I really try to make an effort to not be doing things like counting hairs, etc. It is tough to define a shed. The amount of hairs you lose each day is so random that it is tough to say if your actually shedding. One day you may lose 20 hairs and the next day 50 hairs. Pretty much if your shedding hairs at a rate that seems completely abnormal to you, for an extended period of time, you probably are going through a shed. Tough to tell though. :wink:
