Min New York products - any opinions

[blaze]

I have been using the Min cleansing system and 'Manage' since January.

I have also been looking at these products as of late too.

I am interested in getting something to style my hair with. I am growing my hair out and need something that wont completely weigh it down.

Pomades arent good for longer hair, so I was thinking of trying the 'Manage'. person, can you give me a little run down on Manage?

Like what has Manage been like for you, and how long is your hair? Does it make your hair look thicker, greasy, etc...

thanks

It's definantly not greasy. You massage it through your hair and very soon it dries and your hair looks like it naturally has more body. It doesn't really look like you have put a styling product in your hair however because it holds flat hair up slightly one might guess. My hair is around 3 to 4 inches long(I think it would look good also with longer hair); I don't always use it because the shampoos make my hair look stronger (in my opinion) and I don't need the 'Manage' half the time however if you can't be bothered to wash your hair you can just massage manage through your hair and it looks like new again. As I haven't tried any of their other styling products I can't really comment but use their cleansing system! Very good.

Just used the MIN shampoos for the first time and left my hair looking great. I know it's only a shampoo and I've only used it once but that is my initial reaction.

I also used the Form styling agent, it's got Biotin, Azelaic Acid, Saw P, Zinc and Copper petides in it, and it thickened up my hair pretty good.

Just had an email on nanosphere made by min New York....

Nanosphere treatment agent is the most comprehensive hair regeneration formula available and was developed to be used in conjunction with the MiN New York DHT Salon Defense Cleansing System.

Formulated to be a more comprehensive solution compared to Rogaine Foam which only utilizes standard Minoxidil 5%, Agent utilizes nanosphere encapsulated Minoxidil 5% for a subdermal delivery system to bring key ingredients much closer to the target area --- helping to maintain and promote new hair growth.

Agent from MiN New York is a white lotion that dries perfectly clear and will not stain either your skin or your clothing. In addition to encapsulated Minoxidil 5%, Agent is formulated with Kopexil (also known as Aminexil), Procapil and Copper Peptide Y3. Agent also inhibits the presence of DHT on the hair and scalp.

Agent Hair Regeneration Treatment with Minoxidil 5%
Agent is a breakthrough treatment that contains nanosphere encapsulated Minoxidil (5%), Kopexil and proven DHT inhibitors Procapil and Copper Peptide Y3.
Scientifically shown to deliver maximum results, nanospheres are superior delivery systems that enable our active ingredients to quickly penetrate into the lowest levels of skin to maintain and promote new hair growth. Agent also inhibits the presence of DHT on the hair and scalp.

For optimal results, use Agent in conjunction with MiN New York’s DHT Cleansing System.

I saw this when I bought the shampoo...it looks good but I wanted to give Spectral DNC a full year before I switched to something else.

I'm also interested in any opinions and how does this stack up against Spectral DNC?

I emailed them and they said the shed should be minimal since it contains Procapil and it takes 15 minutes to dry.

No one is using "Agent"? ...why, too pricey? unproven?

Would this be easier to apply to the scalp then Spectral.DNC?
I presume foam is the best solution when it comes to application.

I have no idea since I've never used Agent and appearently by the lack of responses neither has anyone else

foam may have the best delivery system but for some it seems to good as some talk about having a "never ending shed"

I've been using agent.
I rotate what I use on the old noggin a fair bit though, so it's tough to guage success.

Mornings I apply Remox - which is a combo of minoxidil, retin a, alzeic acid, cortisone and progesterone. Also once added liquid finasetride to this as well, however, due to the delivery system I had systemic absorption and started growing moobs again so had to drop the finasteride from the mix.

sometimes at midday I do another squirt of remox.

Evenings I apply Min New York and then some prox-n (just because I've got bottles of the stuff).
In the evenings for a while (and seperate to the timing that i mixed finasteride with my remox) I also used spironolactone and progesterone cream at the same time as the Min New York agent.... (yes allot of crap being applied). Again due to the delivery systems I found that I got sides when using the combo of Min New York, spironolactone and progesterone.

Of late I've been doing remox morning, min new york and prox-n night.
Shampoo with nizoril, nanoo and a concoction of non SLS shampoo with lithium, caffeine and on rotation.

My results are simply a slight thickening of my hair.... still lose more than I'd like in the shower... but hey, what can you do... even low doses of Finasteride kick my arse (and I've tried aromatase inhibitors, tamoxiphen and the likes to counteract the sides....) so I'm stuck with a topical attack until cloning is avail

I'll report back later if this thread livens up again to advise if anything has changed.
