I had noticed some thinning and had sought a doctors help. I was told there was nothing I could do. My beautician and I have noticed hair growth and thickening. My hair looks so much better, I am a much happier person. Very expensive for products that are no better than any you can purchase in any drugstore. I feel bad about my "meh" comment in this review's subject heading, but after using Ookisa products for about a year, I've weighed the pros and cons and, well Like with any new product, at first there were noticeable results.
I won't say no more bad hair days, but for awhile there it was pretty close. Then, of course, my hair adjusted. Took awhile, but I'd say on my second Ookisa shipment, I could tell the improvements weren't lasting.
I'd been hoping that all the talk about "building your hair from the inside" was true, and that my hair would I dunno I know that's stupid, being's as this is a "cosmetic" product and nothing can actually change the physical chemistry of your hair.
But hope springs eternal, I guess. How could something that sounds so scientific turn out to be a load of bunk?! Granted, "bunk" is a strong word and I don't mean to say that Ookisa products are worthless. However: if only they actually performed the miracle s they suggest they do! Then, they'd be worth the expense. As a woman who's known to spare no expense when it comes to beauty products, I have to admit that this "hair care system" is not worth the money.
And speaking of money -- I'm glad Amazon's in on this action, cause when I purchased, the only way to obtain Ookisa was thru the company's website. I called back -- told them I'd keep the shipment but please please please cancel me for real this time.
So I've been paying almost twice as much for god only knows how long?? I don't even wanna think about it. Or not -- and at least you can give 'em a whirl here for cheaper than their website, with no membership obligations. Good luck to you and your hair! Nothing irritates me more than 'hype' that has consumers spending hard-earned money on products that simply do not work as advertised. This shampoo smells delicious! Unfortunately, its effects on thinning or fine hair are no more promising than over-the-counter products.
Believe me--I wish it were not so, but think about it: If this product were as advertised, the company would be the only company from whom the public purchased shampoo, serum, and conditioner. Used the saved bucks to buy a pair of warm socks. Better yet, use the extra money to buy three times as much shampoo and conditioner from your local drug, or grocery store. Sorry folks, but this product gets a BIG "rasberry" from me.
Scent alone is not worth the cents. I am very old and I have been trying to fight Mother Nature my whole life so naturally hair becomes a problem when you get to be closer to 80 than Get what I mean?
From what I read I am still going to have to maintain a hair-do that allows me to hide the pink spots that appear when the wind blows and perhaps after all the years of refusing hair spray I had better give in.
I was SO happy. I highly recommend Shielo's product if you are looking for something safe to help with hair loss. I did not want to pay the 89 dollars so I called them and they offered me a great deal for the lifetime of my using this product.
You also have flexibility with how often you want this shampoo. I am getting it every three months and I am paying only 39 bucks. Try talking to them. I think these products are really high quality and they work. At least for me. This product is very helpful to volume your hair, with bglack, gray, dark blonde, ash blonde, brown, med brown and also dark brown. Tigi Bed Head for Men— this product is applied like shampooing to volume your hair.
The vitamins and botanical oils also the keratin amino acids contained will help you to create volume hair with natural elasticity. Henna and oat flour — these ingredients are very helpful to thicken your hair, and also to give your hair a shinny look. Also, if you want to have a volume hair, try to wash it with soap nuts.

The latest chapter in the OOKISA saga is that a box containing shampoo, conditioner and serum designed to thicken hair arrived yesterday. I was obliged to call customer service and I was reassured that the statement was included in error.
So far, I have used the Fortifying Shampoo and the Replenishing Conditioner, but not yet the serum I'll report back on that and longer term use of the conditioner and shampoo in a few weeks. When I tried it out yesterday, I found that after I had dried my hair that it had appreciably more volume, as well as having good shine.
The effect has lasted through to today as I write this. With both the shampoo and the conditioner, the botanical actives and peptides are bookended by scary looking chemicals. On close inspection, however, many of them are mild and fairly benign. Just like fabric softener will only soften the load of laundry it is put in, no product on the market molecularly re-structures hair.
Once it grows out, you need to soften fill the pourous ends will conditioner, each time you shampoo your hair. Thank You If anybody can refute my claim, please email me at: thffejjy yahoo. I fell for the same scam with Acai Berry and Colon Cleanse they encourage buy them together to get the "full benefit" of weight loss.
I could not use the product for health reasons and at first was told that I could not get a refund by the CSR. Upon contacting the "company" I was told to return the product for a full refund. That was back in June, I've yet to receive my refund even after yet another e-mail asking where it was. I got no response. I don't think I'll ever order anything else online. There are links in the post where you made your comment to the reviews.
BTW Marta how could you review or even discuss a product u have never tried and for the "sheep" following ur every command per shame Try the product for yourselves dont just take a strangers word it. Try it and prove someone right or wrong but at least try it. Theyre very accomodating. Ive never had a problem Since i ordered the free trial i was aware of the "full size" trial and of the My hair is soft and shiny and most of all thick and full.
Rebecca, you ask an important question. We don't sell ads directly. They are sold through Google. The advertiser buys keywords such as shampoo or thinning hair and Google serves the ad on sites that match the keywords. We can blacklist advertisers and I have done that once or twice. But, we do appreciate your comment and we will pull ads if our readers believe they are inappropriate. But why is this company advertising on this truth in aging website especially if there is any doubt as to the company's ethical business practices?
I had never heard of this line before I saw the ad on your site, then I did a search for reviews of the product, and was surprised when I was brought back here to read your very helpful expose. Nanette, there is a link in the post to the review. I appreciate all the comments on this site. I went to order this product this morning but I didn't fill in my credit information.
When I got home from work I had an e-mail stating that they really wanted me to try the product and would be willing to cut the shipping cost to 2 days and said I would receive it in 2 to 5 days time. I thought wow! I wouldn't have gotten involved.
I immediated tried the number on the web-site and got no answer. About 2 minutes later, my phone rings and a gentleman asks me who I am trying to call. After I told him, he said I had the wrong number and that he didn't really understand English.
I became suspious and contacted Capital One. This we did so I feel better. If I get the product in the next week, I feel that I paid for it with the hassle of having to notify my credit card company and be without my card for 7 to 10 days.
Plus I did try to contact them to no avail. I even tried to e-mail them and only got the same phone number on a page. Well the phone number is a fraud! I have gone through chemo and wanted to try this since my hair came back in thin and fine on top. It looks like I have alopecia.
I actually went through the trial and honestly it was not a scam. I did not get any kind of reaccuring charge at the end of my trial, and the product worked perfectly on my hair. It grew 2' in a month and a half and also made it thicker and shinier.
I suggest actually using the product before you post something like this, and also if you do have any kind of return or something like that use the form you were mailed along with the shipment. In spite of the short trial period, I bought the products. I was going to transfer them to other bottles, but I called the company and they were very nice and gave me an additional 30 days to try the product.
I noticed it in about a week that my hair felt fuller and a bit later I went into have it trimmed and my hairdresser commented on the amount of 'new growth'. After reading all these negative comments without addressing the quality of the product, I felt obligated to at least let you know that it does work.
I am a missionary in Mexico and our water is really bad. This is my second shipment and I wouldn't be without it. I have compliments all the time on how nice my hair looks and how healthy. Would I like it cheaper, you bet. I just know that it works I am charged every three months and I'm worth it.
No I am not part of Ookisa I just know that it works. I live in Maneadero, Baja Mexico email if you want. Thanks, Marta. Read your comments just 30 minutes before the so-called "free trial " product was delivered. I immediately called customer service and got a Return Merchandise Authorization. Will monitor my credit card to make sure they don't try any funny business. I just rec'd it called and got an RMA number via email. Rip off. I am going to have my bank block so they can not try to charge or request another bank card.
Yeh I got tricked too after they shipped to me. I am going to empty those bottles into my new ketchup and mustard holders, so at least i have the product but not like they are charging me for 90 bucks. I love Ookisa! I, too, called for a return authorization as it was just so expensive! When I called, the customer service rep. I told her I only wash my hair 2 or 3 times a week and would not need a shipment every month, so I get recurring shipments every three months for I have also ordered the souffle and the vitamins.
I have been using now for 7 months or so, and me and my hairdresser have noticed a difference in the rate of growth and the texture of it.
My hair is generally very limp and fine, but these products have made it feel much more luxurious. I can already tell a difference in the texture of my hair and it leaves my hair very soft and manageable It is so worth the money they are asking when you compare the money to going bald, I would spend my money on this product, any day! He is totally bald on his crown but when he started using ookisa, new hair started to grow with thicker strands. I would like to order more but I can't see if it will be an automatic delivery.
This ookisa really works. Another scam. I had to do what Carly did once with a "beauty" drink.. Good work, again, Marta! The way this product is promoted is illegal - due to it being deceptive.
So on that basis alone it is a scam. They can also issue fines for breaching regulations and make the compnay refund unhappy customers. I've been searching for products that can thicken my thin hair and I thought I was on to something when I saw Ookisa. Ookisa sounds like a total rip off. I just received my "free sample" of Ooski. Tomorrow I plan to call and get my return auth. The product I have been using has been working very well, I need to learn to leave well enough alone.
I have used Nioxin hair cleanser andscalp therapy for a year. My hair is more manageable and has a healthy shine. It really does work and I understand some people do not read the terms and conditions, but if you do it fully states what is going to happen after your trial. I do not feel I was scammed in any sense of the word and customer service is wonderful. Never had a bad experience.
I am so glad there are folks out there who will take the time to tell us the truth about some of these products. WOuld be great if you published a website of the stuff that IS valuable. Then something got the better of me when I was about to input my credit card number. I look around the site to see if there might be any hidden terms and conditions but found nothing. I decided to do a bit of research on my own and found this site. I'm shocked. Whoa, Buyer beware, really. I just ordered this stuff an hour ago then did research.
I can't afford the monthly cost but that can be changed easily. All you have to do to avoid unwanted charges to your card after a scam like this. You have what you paid for and that scam is undone. Presto, ladies! Thanks so much for the low-down. I am much more inclined to try a product when I'm just given the truth up-front. I will order on an as needed basis at my disgression. Thank you, Paula Davison. I ordered mine. So apparently 30 days in the terms and conditions went to 14 days.
The free trial is only 14 days. Who would see any changes? Anyways, the hair product when i first used it is just like any other shampoo and conditioner. I can't say much due to the limited amount of time given through the 14 days free trial.
The pro is it has helped relieve my scalp irritation which helps lessen my dandruff. But the product is too pricey and the terms and the product itself is quite shady. Thanks for the comments up there though. Its helped me consider more. If the website requirement means my own website, I don't have one.
I tried the Ookisa hair thickening products and also got stuck with the bill. The shampoo seems nice but the conditioner made my hair very limp. Also the instructions are to use the products daily, i. I try not to wash my hair more than once a week so I didn't want to follow their instructions. The serum seemed to make the existing hair rather stiff and unruly. Only used it twice. Obviously, no new growth or thickening.
I agree that their marketing is terrible and sneaky. Penny, You are most welcome. The ingredients list is like outing them sometimes. They make it so hard. But why would anyone buy anything if they didn't know what was in it? Oh yes Something always difficult to find for no particular reason. All the info you each contributed helped me make the decision to forego this "free" trial.
The products appeared to be interesting, but definitely not worth the hassle you had to endure. Thanks for doing all the hard work for us, and once again, another group of products bites the dust! Too bad no one can seem to actually come out with something worthwhile without attempting to screw every one in the process.
You are the best!! I signed up for the free trial also but I thought is was for trial sizes. After I bought them at OOpm. I realized from the confirmation that I would be charged for it if I didn't return them in the time period. I called to cancel at 6am when they opened and was told that the order would be cancelled, I still received it anyway. I was livid and demanded to return it all without paying shipping. I argued with the customer service supervisor and she said they couldn't cancel it because it had already been shippedand shipping was to be paid by me.
How could it be shipped at am, what a joke. I told her that I would blab it all over the internet about their company. She finally gave in. This was the most deceiving company that I have dealt with and hope that your review will be a warning to stay away. Good for you Marta! I dont blame you. If they are going to sign you up for a reacurring shipment they should be very clear about it.
It's crazy these days. You really have to look closely to find some of these things and they can still be missed. Then you have to find some opt-out disclaimer on the web site, sign it, and mail it back in with the original receipt within the allotted time frame. Nothing is "free". Read More. Watch Now.
