2nd set of questions
I am finding it easy to use, no problems at all.
I do think I can see a difference however I don't think it's a greater difference than when I initially started using the product and could see that my hair was looking fuller and more healthy.

Very easy to use, no problems.
I see a slight difference in volume and it is definitely shinier. Noone else has noticed this though.

I have been using Rapidhair for a few weeks now. Its very to apply and leaves no residue or unwanted smell, however 2 pumps is not enough to cover the whole of my scalp. Instructions are easy to follow.

I haven't noticed any considerable growth, but I have noticed an improvement in the condition of my hair at the scalp. My hair is quite dry and frizzy around the crown, but Rapidhair seems to have smoothed my existing hair and new growth is smooth and soft.

Must say that I am dreading it running out as I like the imrpovements it has made.

very easy and no poblems at all my hair feels thicker at the top I have very fine hair.

~ How easy are you finding RapidHair to use? (eg ease of following the instructions, how it is to actually apply)

Very easy. I do it last thing at night before I go to bed, the bottle dispenses the foam easily and it's very simple to then rub the foam into my scalp.

~ Have you started seeing results from using RapidHair?

Absolutely nothing! - and believe me, if the power of positive thinking could work, I'd be sporting locks 2m long by now! My hair seems to be in the same condition - no better, no worse. So keeping my fingers (and hairs) firmly crossed...

~ How easy are you finding RapidHair to use? (eg ease of following the instructions, how it is to actually apply)
I'm finding it very easy to apply, but the two squirts suggested only cover the front crown of my hair. I use a brush to spread it as best I can!

~ Have you started seeing results from using RapidHair?
I think the hair on my crown looks shinier than it has done, and less frizzy. Having said that, it was mega frizzy to start with, so a slight improvement.

~ What is your hair type? (thin, fine, course, wavy, straight etc.)
Curly, thick

~ What is your hair style? (short, medium, long, coloured, highlighted etc.)
Shoulder length curls

~ Does your hair appear to have got thinner in the last 5-10 years?
What life events have affected your hair and how?
Yes - become finer since childbirth

~ Do you regularly use heat styling products (e.g. dryers, curling tongs, straighteners etc.)
No; I air dry.

~ Have you previously tried any other Rapid products? (RapidLash, RapidBrow, RapidShield)
No.

~ What was your overall first impression of the RapidHair product?
Not very much in there...

Now you have been using RapidHair for a few weeks - please let us know...

~ How easy are you finding RapidHair to use? (eg ease of following the instructions, how it is to actually apply)
OK to apply although 2 pumps isn't enough. Not v easy to distribute as I don't use a brush on my hair.

~ Have you started seeing results from using RapidHair?
No, not really. I really wish I had! Hasn't had any adverse effects though. I really hope I might get some root lift soon as my hair seems determined to plaster itself to my head at the moment.

~ How easy are you finding RapidHair to use? (eg ease of following the instructions, how it is to actually apply)
Easy to use, feels like you need more than two pumps -

~ Have you started seeing results from using RapidHair?
I think my hair is much softer, I am not sure about fuller as I have thick hair, but much less dry and looks shiny -

How easy are you finding RapidHair to use? (eg ease of following the instructions, how it is to actually apply)~
Easy, ish. But I find it easier to pump the product onto my palm and apply with fingertips from there.

Have you started seeing results from using RapidHair?
I don't know! I have not suddenly got a lion's mane that is for sure. Not much difference yet I don't think.

I find it very easy to apply, though I have to be honest, it is on my bedside table as otherwise I will most probably forget to apply.

I do find my hair full and shiny when before it had more of a dull appearance

The product is easy to apply but not easy to get full coverage.

I haven't noticed any difference yet.

Easy to use - how hard is it to rub stuff on your scalp? Could do with another squirt i think for better coverage.

Cannot see a difference and i m disappointed anout thaf - had high hopes but there is time. Its the price thats making me expect miracles!

Easy to use but two pumps certainly doesn't cover my whole scalp, so I try and put it on different sections every night!

I have an eleven month old baby so have fine regrowth coming through not sure if the use of this product is contributing to this or not.

The product is very easy to use. It is hard to believe that one is putting on enough to make a difference, but the injunction to wash hands afterwards makes me feel it is potent stuff. It is easy to rub in, easy to suirt, easy to find a place for the small bottle.

Any difference? My hair does look different. It appears more sculptural, the individual curls seem separated from each other and a little curlier. It also feels soft and a little shinier at the crown.

2nd set of questions
~ How easy are you finding RapidHair to use? (eg ease of following the instructions, how it is to actually apply)
it is very easy to apply although im not sure it covers the whole head as its such a small ammount
~ Have you started seeing results from using RapidHair?
my hair does feel slightly thicker and has a nice shine. My children and friends have not noticed any changes in it

Easy to use but I did use 3 pumps not 2.

My hair does appear to be thicker but not dramatically so.

Easy to use (despite poor instructions),although i do pump into hands and massage into scalp. 2 pumps covers my thin hair fine.
Not a thing different. Still looks as fine and wispy as ever.

I have been using it since the start of the test but have had to stop using it in the last couple of weeks as I have developed an allergy to something on my scalp around my crown.

Up until that point I had found it easy to use and spread on my hair covering most of the roots with minimal massage. It might have helped that I have had my hair cut shorter during this time so making it easier to target. I did think it felt a bit fuller up until that point and certainly in better condition.

2nd loads of questions...

I find it much easier to use that at the start for some reason! Have perfected a way of managing to get the coverage I need with the 2 pumps - yay!

I can definately notice a difference with the fullness of my hair at the roots! My dh has also commented on the change (although is annoyed about it since it might lead to this being a required product! Lol!)

~ How easy are you finding RapidHair to use? (eg ease of following the instructions, how it is to actually apply)

Easy to use but the lack of coverage annoys me so I sometimes brush it through.

~ Have you started seeing results from using RapidHair?

my hair feels softer at the top of my head but not the dramatic change I was hoping for.

How easy to use?

• Easy to get product on the scalp where applied, but really difficult to distribute enough with only using the required 2 pumps. If only such a limited amount of product should be used, I think I might have found an ointment type of product in a squeeze tube easier. By pumping the foam in my hand first I seem to lose even more of the product. This is a shame because I love the smell and the feeling where it goes on.

Seen results yet?

• The roots at the front feels softer, but not really noticeable all over due to lack of coverage. I can't see a difference in fullness yet.

How easy to use? Very easy although 2 pumps def doesn't seem enough.

Seen results yet? No-I fully expected to wake up with amazing swishy hair but it ain't happening. As I posted before, my pal commented on my hair saying it looked nice. Hadn't done anything different except use this product. Still persevering though!

Ease of use - it's very easy. It's quickly become a part of my nightly routine and only takes a couple of minutes. I still don't feel like I'm covering enough of my scalp though.

Results - no. I've possibly got a bit more body at the roots in the morning, but it's not easily noticeable, and I could probably achieve the same result with a light mousse. My hair is slightly less frizzy at the parting too, but again I think that's because of having a product rubbed into my scalp - I usually use stuff that goes on the length of my hair. I've also noticed that the smell of the product had changed - early on in the test I said i liked the "fresh" smell if had but now if just smells like damp, if you see what I mean. It doesn't give my hair an odour but it's still not pleasant.

Easy to use, but only when focusing on one small area.
Sadly no difference so far in thickness, condition or anything else. Still going though...

It's very easy to apply, if you use more than the recomended2 squirts.

To be honest, I've been using it half heartedly -I'm so worried after gearing problems some other peiple had . But there us absolutely no change, for good or for bad.
