Over the past few months I started shedding double the amount of hair as normal, after washing my hair and brushing. I didn't know what to do, so I gave this a try. I have been using it for a couple of weeks now. Pretty much after the first or second time using it, the shedding has reduced right down! I would say even less than was "normal" for me before I started losing so much. That alone made me happy, but am starting to feel that my hair is getting stronger. I apply twice a day, in the morning and before bed. Massaging a small amount all over, each time. Very excited to see if some growth starts happening. I bought the larger bottle and feel like it will last for several months at the rate I'm using it.
