My hair hasn't either improved or degenerated after use.
I was expecting my hair to look thicker, or even new growth being stimulated. Neither happened.
Would I recommend it? No, far far too expensive and did nothing exciting.
No one noticed any change.

~ What are the key improvements you have seen from using RapidHair?
I do have some regrowth which I can't necessarily attribute to this product. I have a baby so you normally get some regrowth.

~ Were the results as you’d expected?
No I expected more.

~ If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend RapidHair to a friend?
If they were desperate and willing to spend the money then I'd mention it not necessarily recommend it though.

~ Has anyone noticed any change in your hair?
No

What are the key improvements you have seen from using RapidHair?
my hair felt more silky but not sure if it looks it nobody has noticed or commented on it
Were the results as you’d expected?
disappointed really expected it to have good results my hair is still thin and fine does not feel any thicker
If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend RapidHair to a friend?
i would not recommend it as it is expensive and did not seem to work on my hair
Has anyone noticed any change in your hair?
nobody has noticed any change or mentioned it at all
i really wanted it to work but sadly for me there was no improvement in my thin fine hair. thank you for letting me trial it.

~What are the key improvements you have seen from using RapidHair?

After a few weeks the areas where I applied it to the front of my scalp felt a bit softer (wasn't nearly enough to cover my whole scalp). Not long after I ran out it seems to be back to normal. So either it was only softer whilst product itself still on the hair or it's because I took more care than usual when brushing and blowdrying my hair. I also noticed more hair loss than usual directly after I stopped, which seemed to have returned to normal now. Again, could just be summer, but something I did wonder about.

~ Were the results as you’d expected?
Not as hoped, no. I wasn't actually sure or convinced how it could make such a bit difference in hair growth, so in that sense I guess expected. However, due to the excellent reviews on Rapidlash I hoped to be surprised.

~ If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend RapidHair to a friend?
No. If it cost less than £10 I might have recommended it as a leave in treatment kind of product, but no, no for the price or intended purpose.

~ Has anyone noticed any change in your hair?
No

I feel like apologising for such a negative review of a product that some people clearly like, but it's not for me. Thank you anyway for the chance to try it out.

[KateOxford]

~ What are the key improvements you have seen from using RapidHair?
My hair feels shinier and thicker, I don't lose hair at all now and I lost lots before (this could be a natural change in hormones too)
~ Were the results as you’d expected?
No, I didn't expect to see a result and I am pleased to day that I did!
~ If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend RapidHair to a friend?
Yes, to use as a one off product after childbirth for example, it's pretty expensive to use on a regular basis but the product has lasted me longer than the 60 day trial, there still seems to be a lot left so I might be able to judge this better when I know how long it lasts.
~ Has anyone noticed any change in your hair?
I had my hair cut this week and my hairdresser commented on it and also pointed out all of the new hair that is growing.
Good luck with the prize draw.

[majjsu]

Key improvements - shinier, thicker hair, more manageable.

Results as expected - not quite, based on the price, I was expecting more from this product.

Recommend to a friend - no

Anyone noticed a change - my husband, he asked if I had changed my shampoo as my hair looked glossy, bless him. For him to notice is mega!

[aswadmt]

~ What are the key improvements you have seen from using RapidHair?
None at all, regrettably. Am gutted!

~ Were the results as you’d expected?
I was hoping, rather than expecting, for an improvement in the condition of my hair - so I guess the fact that it's failed to do anything, while disappointing, was probably in line with my expectations.

~ If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend RapidHair to a friend?
Definitely not. It's an awful lot of money for something which does absolutely nothing!

~ Has anyone noticed any change in your hair?
Nope. I feel like I've seen more hair loss when showering etc whilst using this, but this could just be coincidence so I won't necessarily attribute it to RapidHair.

[Koe44]

~ What are the key improvements you have seen from using RapidHair?
None unfortunately
~ Were the results as you’d expected
Due to the cost I was expecting to notice some difference but I really didn't.
~ If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend RapidHair to a friend?
It's very expensive and I noticed no change to my hair, so no I wouldn't
~ Has anyone noticed any change in your hair?
No nobody has said anything, I asked my hairdresser if there was a change and she couldn't see one

[FunnyFoot]

What are the key improvements you have seen from using RapidHair?
I have some thickness at the roots but no new growth.

Were the results as you’d expected?
I didn't know what to expect so I was open minded.

If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend RapidHair to a friend?
If they noticed/asked then yes I would.

Has anyone noticed any change in your hair?
Work colleagues have said my hair looks different but they couldn't say why.

[jonicomelately]

Key improvements.
Slightly thicker hair.

Were the results as your expected?
No. To be honest, I didn't expect any difference.

Would you recommend RapidHair to a friend?
If they were suffering from very thin hair I'd probably say it's worth trying. Otherwise, no.

Has anyone noticed a change in your hair?
I've recently had it cut shorter which lots of people have noticed and commented upon but nobody has said it looks thicker. This may however be because of the change of style.

WILL THIS THREAD NEVER END

~ What are the key improvements you have seen from using RapidHair?
My hair is softer, glossier and a little bit more scupltural, with slightly better defined curls. It has some more volume and feels 'bigger'.

~ Were the results as you’d expected?
I am not sure what I expected. I thought very glossy, silky and big could be the result, like those swishing models on the catwalk. It did not quite fulfill that but went a little in that direction.

~ If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend RapidHair to a friend?
I might mention it, but it does not do miracles. I am not someone who takes a great deal of care with my hair.....but for someone who is used to products and does a lot of styling, I would mention it.

~ Has anyone noticed any change in your hair?
One colleague complemented me on my hair, saying that it looked shiny and lush. My children think it looks more voluminous too.

[crazykat]

What were the key improvements:
My hair is a bit more glossy and feels softer similar to when I've used an intensive conditioning treatment.

Did it live up to your expectations:
I didn't know what to expect exactly. I was hoping to see a bit of re growth / less hair falling out but it seems the same to me, looks like a little more volume but not much different than when I use a volumising shampoo.

Would you recommend it:
Not at the rrp with the minimal results I've had, especially as I've had pretty much the same results with shampoo and conditioner treatments which cost a lot less.

Has anyone noticed a difference:
I've had a few comments about how shiny/glossy my hair is but no comments on volume or thickness.

[waitingforgodot]

What are the key improvements you have seen from using RapidHair?
None sorry. It made my hair look a bit strange if I applied it to dry hair-hair looked a bit shiny and greasy on the top

Were the results as you’d expected?
I had really high expectations of this product as rapidlash is good but it didnt live up to my expectations.

If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend RapidHair to a friend?
No I dont think I would

Has anyone noticed any change in your hair?
As posted previously on here, when I first started using it, my friend commented on my hair looking lovely and different. Noone has commented since.
Thank you for letting me try the product. I think it maybe depends on the individual's hair as I believe it makes a difference to some people.

[magentastardust]

No major improvements I am afraid, Although I think it is a bit shinier looking.

I was expecting quite a lot because of the price tag , I'm not sure it lived up to my expectations.

Possibly would recommend it , I think its one of those products you have to give a go to see if it works for you and makes a difference. I would be slightly hesitant of recommending it because of the price though. I have heard people recommend Rapidlash so I would still be tempted to try that.

Not really , no major comments or compliments on it , so I don't think there has been a big enough improvement for others to notice. Was good to try it out though!

[Deckmyballs]

Key improvements - I've found my hair is in better condition, a lot shinier for sure.

Results as expected - no unfortunately not. But perhaps my expectations were too high and unrealistic?

Recommend a friend - If the friend had issues similar to myself I would mention it to them and be honest about the expectations. I do think it helped with my hairs condition, it just didn't give me biiiig hair like I thought it might naive

Noticed change - my husband has but no one else has mentioned it.

Thank you for choosing me! It's been fun

[BabieThePicess]

What are the key improvements you have see

n from using RapidHair?

My hair is much more shiny

~ Were the results as you’d expected?

No sadly, I was hoping that the hair loss would be significantly reduce, but it seems that it has got worst.


~ If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend RapidHair to a friend?

I am sorry, but I don't think I would, because although my hair is much more shiny, the fact that I am still loosing a lot of hair is disappointing, and considering the price, I would expect much better results if paying for it.

~ Has anyone noticed any change in your hair?

I haven't had any remarks on my hair.
