Min New York products - any opinions

[leapinghorse]

Anybody tried any of this companys products? http://www.min.com

I see some decent reviews on Amazon. I tried searching here but I get WAY too many results since every use "min" as short for minoxidil.

Looks interesting. Never heard of it.

I ordered the cleansing system. Not a bad price ($59 for detoxifier, shampoo, conditioner and a styling product) so I thought I would give it a shot. Will report back. The ingredients seem to be sound. I wanted a copper-peptide product based on what I had read so this seems to be a good fit.

 

[Cassin]

Now is each bottle for one month?

 

[leapinghorse]

I imagine it will last a lot longer.....that size bottle tends to last about 2-3 months for a shampoo typically. We shall see.

 

[Cassin]

yeah please report back your findings. Interesting.

 

[Hooterson]

It's probably for the whole package. This stuff looks pretty good. The problem is a have a bottle and a half of Revita and and REgrowth from Dr. Lee.

Any opinions on whether to mix the two products? I probably should give Revita at least a year.

 

[Cassin]

For awhile I was using Dr Lees int he am and something else at night, no problems for me.

 

[Hooterson]

Cassein did you use Dr. Lees everyday? The stuff dries my scalp pretty bad. I only use it 2-3 times per week, Revita on the other days.

 

[Cassin]

I did, most of the time twice.

May want to consider a nice conditioner to hydrate the scalp a bit.

I actually just started to use JASON Tea Tree Conditioner. Works good on my scalp but it weighs down my hair...man I sound like female :lol:

I've been using the MIN range of products (Detox, Wash, Fortify and Define styling product) for about 7 months now and I love them. I bought the large size cleanser bottles and they are still 2/3 full - they'll last forever!!

I love the way they clean and leave my hair, and the styling product is not bad either (though I will probably use Secure next).

I now alternate the MIN range with Revita, which I find works for me, as the MIN range stop my hair drying out too much from the use of Revita.

I also keep a bottle of Jason's Thin to Thick on the shelf, just in case I'm having a really thin day!

Def - glad to hear you like them. It is probably hard to judge, but do you think they have had any affect in terms of hair loss?

I did see the 32 ounce containers but thought I would give the smaller ones a try first. I imagine the big ones would last at least a year.....not bad for the price.

Ever tried any of the other products?

 

[Def]

Leaping horse, as you say, it's extremely difficult for me to say as I started using Spectral DNC twice a day around the same time. I think my hair has improved a little.

I do highly recommend them though - even if only from a "performance" perspective. Mild but great foaming cleansers, masculine scent, discrete packaging, procapil and a host of DHT fighting substances in there, plus I find a slight cosmetic thickening effect.

[Hooterson]

Thanks for that info Def and L-horse. I'm sold....I'll be purchasing the combo(detox, wash, fortify & stylin) today.

What stylin product would be the best for a diffuse thinner?....the "Form"?
I need to thicken up a bit. What do y'all use?

 

[chino20]

Ah when I asked about this line of products I was accused of working for the company, lol! Hooterson, I got the form styling creme a while back, if you've got longer hair then I wouldn't reccomend it. It kinda makes your hair look a bit shiny, if you put on too much it will look greasy and can really weigh your hair down. It's better for short styles as it will give you a tiny bit of thickness but also some shine. I also got the gel, but that's crap, definatly don't use gel if you're diffuse!

 

[leapinghorse]

I chose "define" but now kinda wish I chose form. However, my hair is stubborn so I need a little more hold in my products.

 

[Hooterson]

Thanks Chino, my hair is about 1-2inches long so I think I'll go with the "Form"

If I don't like it I'll put it with the other 20 or so products I used once and don't like :-x

I have been using the Min cleansing system and 'Manage' since January. I think the prodcuts are brilliant. They definantly leave the hair looking thicker (compared to Nizoral). It's hard to say whether it has halted my hair loss. I think my hair has not got at all worse since starting however maybe that's because I'm slowing receding? One things for sure; I will continue to use them as they can only be beneficial to my hair. Smells nice too.
