Dr,I am hearing lot of ads about ‘Segals Solutions’ in India nowadays and heard that this product is from Canada and claims to be working well for a long. Does this really help in growing new hair or reducing hair loss? Appreciate if you could pick up my question and give your valuable review/response,
Thanks in adv
The Segals Solutions website says the product is “100% effective” and then just below it is says an independent study shows “67% noticed a reduction in hair loss”. So it works 67% of the time, every time? Uh huh. It then goes on to say that it is very convenient to use, in that you only need to rub their lotion on your scalp and leave it there for a minimum of 6-8 hours, then shampoo your hair with their product, and then take their pill in the morning. Where is the convenience?
I haven’t heard of this hair loss “treatment” before, even though they say it’s been made for 30 years. You’d think that with 30 years of success, there would be more than 2 before/after photos available on their site (and even those are smaller than my thumb, making it hard to see what’s going on). The lotion you leave on your scalp for 8 hours contains biotin, saw palmetto, B vitamins, and some other stuff, but the shampoo is just listed as containing “herbs”, and I have no idea what is in the pill. They say the entire treatment contains African “herbal technology” including rooibos, which is a tea common in South Africa. It goes on to discuss a French lab study showing hair benefits, but no further details are given, I can’t find the study, and I doubt it’s been peer reviewed.
I’ve gone over this before — there are two proven treatments that are FDA approved safe and effective, minoxidil (Rogaine) and finasteride (Propecia). If anyone wants to give Segals Solutions a try, by all means don’t let me stop you. Just keep in mind you’re probably wasting your time and money, as even their own marketing information sounds confused about what results you are “guaranteed” to see.
Paid advertisements (not an endorsement):
Dr.Rassman,
With due respects to you, I must state that your comments about Segals Solutions seem to be biased. It doesn’t matter how many photos (or what size photos) they have put on their site but the fact remains that I got immense benefit with Segals Solutions products. My years of agony came to a halt after 3 months of use of Segals Solutions. I may not exactly be wary of their claims, but it worked and hairloss hasn’t recurred over the past 8 months now, since I stopped using these. And that matters more than your “science” and “FDA”. Afterall isn’t FDA also about lobbying by big pharma companies….
So, is it works and that too without drugs, it’s worth ignoring what is on their site and what not. Peer reviews also have limitations…. You are being unfair by stating that they are not transparent. On the contrary, I haven’t come across any company that declares everything about their product so clearly. Their pill-pack not only declares what is inside it but also the concentration of each. So about their lotion, shampoo and conditioner; atleast the ones I used had all info, well labelled.
results is all that matters to anybody and I can vouch for the fact that Segals Solutions delivers, much better than Minoxidil and most importantly, without any ill-effects.
I’d love to see your before and after results, because anyone can just write testimonials such as yours without providing proof. Also, it isn’t about the transparency of the company — it is about the complete fabrications in their marketing material. You simply can’t state the product is 100% effective then later say its a lower percentage that got results. That is ridiculous.
Hi , I respect your comments. In the website of segals solutions the contents of the pill is clearly mentioned . I have been using it for the past one month. I have been undergoing treatment for the past 13 years inorder to prevent baldness which is my heridity. The contents are silica, Saw palmetto, Fo-ti and kelp.All of them contains hair growth properties. The FDA approved treatments that you have mentioned are having severe side-effects. I t has been proved that finasteride causes loss of libido and erection problems.and minoxidil too. Better dont give these sort of negative opinions on a product which you have never tried.
Doctor I have a question regarding the so called FDA approved treatment minoxidil. Can you gurantee that the new hair which was grown after the topical application of minoxidil will last even after someone have stopped that?
If you say yes then ill advice people to follow your treatment.No doctor dare to say yes for this question.Do you mean to recommend minoxidil usage throughout the life of a person??
Prakash-
Once you stop minoxidil treatment, benefits go away. You have to use it for life if you wish to retain the benefits. You’re right — I wouldn’t “dare to say yes”, because I have no reason to lie to folks.
My comments on Segals were more about the terrible wording of the marketing message. Usually when I see “100% effective” used when selling a hair loss treatment, it is easy to see it is 100% a scam.
Minoxidil has no loss of libido, and it has been proven time and time again that finasteride side effects are in 1-2% of users. The bottom line is though, those 2 products provide results… something that I doubt Segals can do. That is my opinion, but you’re welcome to disagree. I’d love for someone to actually post proof, as opposed to just telling me I’m wrong and spouting off wrong information to back that up.
Whatever said and done, Segals Solutions did produce results in me. It’s a fantastic product. My hair are thicker and dense now (using for 5 months now).
Hello everyone, Myself Venkat..
I recently visited Dermatologist. Doctor Spotted that my hair on vetex and top are getting thinner and prescribed me Mintop 10%. After using it for a 2 weeks there was huge loss of hair leaving behind my scalp visible. After this was conveyed to Doctor I was told to stop the usage of the product. Now I am worried about the hair which has lost, what should I do for regrowth of my hair??..Can I go for Low Laser Light Theraphy which would be natural booster for hairgrowth or would I go for Seagal Products…
Any Valuable review/responses are appreciated..
hi all ,
Im having serious hairfall problem from past 1 year ..please suggest some remidies .Is segals solution effective ?? please be frank about this products
Hi All,
I have been using the products for almost two month but i do not see any improvement yet. My hair loss increased in the frontal area. According to the site, they have stated that this is normal as the hair that falls out are normally dead hair.New and strong hair will grow from there. As per the site, visible result of growing hair will only visibile after 2 to four months.
I am a bit worried of the fallen hair that was resulted using the product but I will give it a try for the next few months as I am already using for two months. Hope it will works for me.
I have went through a number of website and products, they have stated when we are using a new product for the first time, normally we will be experiencing hair loss, so hope that this will be normal.
Anyone experiencing the same problem? Please share.
hi justin ,
didnt u express your concerns with the people from whom u got the products what did they say ??
Doctor its me prakash again. Iam from India. We indians have a practice of applying oils to hair we use coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil. Whether oil grow hair? is it a myth or its simly nourishes hair?
hi prakash,
Even im using segals solutions from past 3 weeks .A guy above by name rahul as said that he used the above product and had good results depending on his review even im trying .In the website of segals they have mentioned that the new hair grows only after 2 to 4 months of usage ..did u ask the segals guys about your problem what did they say..
Guys,
FOr those seeking a frank opinion on the Segal’s products-here is what I have experienced:-
I have been using the products for the past 7 months with no effect at all.
In fact I have noticed that in the last couple of months,the rate of hair fall has been such that I end up loosing more than 100 strands per day,with no noticeable improvement at all.
The hair loss has been so substantial that I can actually notice the thinning of hair from the frontal areas.
I am not sure if using the products have aggravated the loss but my experience till date tells me that there has been no improvement at all.
Hi All,
I have been using segals solutions for 3 months very good results hair loss stopped 90%..
before i used to loss my hair like anything on my pillow and work place in the bathroom like having a hair cut.
recently my friend suggested a doctor in chennai india Murugusundram and he prescribed (Fine,Nectar Plus,Kaiquin) and minoxidil after using his medicines my hair fall started again unnecessarily i stopped segals i want to go back to segals solutions.. and finally doctor told me i need to continue for 2 years (every month visit) which i dont like…
Can You share the contact details to whom to consult, because treatment under observation is better
This is about Segals. Akanksha & Rahul said they have very good results But Prakash has confusing statement. So any details on this program by Akanksha or Rahul on Name of all 4 products from Segal Chennai India.
Prakash did you face any problem later on as mentioned or what? Can you give clarity on your case? It will be helpful for me in deciding to go for segal or not to go for it.
Hi,
I have been using the hair regrow from holistic serums for a month, which has reduced my hair fall. But cant see any new hairgrowth till now. Will post again after a couple of months. I am also using segals supplement, shampoo and conditioner to stop my hair fall. I think this combination, though quiet expensive will help me.
Hi ALL
Please stop use this all product.and eat more greenary and fresh vegi . dont cook .take as salad. after take good food for three meals your hair will grow.and skin also.
hi to all,
i am 24,suffering from hair loss( my hair loss is very slow and i have not seen any bald patch but, overall hairs are falling.) But i dont want that too,so please suggest me from segal solution or minoxidil which is better for regrowth of hair
There are too much discussion on Segal solution. I am 26 years old and facing severe hair loss. I just ordered Segals Solution and I am going to start using it from tomorrow. I will post my result in this discussion. I am also doing the following to decrease the hair loss:
1.Using only filter water or packed mineral water to wash my hair.
2.Drinking atleast 5 cups of Green Tea.
3.Eating Almonds, Fig and other dry fruits daily.
4.Doing Pranayam daily morning.
5.Eating Soy product daily. (Milk, soy bread etc.)
Lets see what would be the result after 3 months.
. I will also post the photograph of before and after 3 months.
I’ve tried Segal Solution for 2 months and the results are encouraging! I’ve stopped Finpecia which I was taking for 6 months and have seen slight improvement in the hair thickness and texture.
i’m 29 year old male, i have been suffring from hair loss for past 7 years, doctor gave me minoxdil with Amixle 5%. i used for more than 5 years, the result was good, but from last year i got problem in using minoxdil, many side effects like- rapid heart beat, stomach pain, chest pain. so i stopped it for past 5 months. again i started loosing my hair, then i shaved my head & started using Himalaya’s HAIR-ZONE spray & Dabur Thiripala tablets, my hair fall has stopped,but i dont know weather i’m getting new hair, i will post the comments after i use for 4 months, i’m using for past 2 weeks only. My advise to you all is pls dont use minoxdil or any chemical products, it gives many side effets, long term use will lead to many problems. best is- Shave your head once in a year, keep short hair, take Dabur’s Thiripala tablets 100% natural & very very safe, take 2 tablets half n hour B4 your breakfast & 2 tablets B4 Dinner, take for 48 days(long term is very good), drink plenty of water,(Dont take ice water). you will find best results, its not only for hair ,its for total health, you jus try & see, you will be amazed,. Stop worring about hair loss, eat healthy & stay fit,. Life is beautyfull even without Hair… Thank You…

Im 29 yrs old female and i have a very bad hairfall, it doesnt seem to slow down even after trying all possible kinds of treatment like Dr batra, ayurvedic, homeopathy and acupunture, minoxidil.. u name it n i have used that, i have spent thousands and thousands in dis.. nutrition wise im really doing and took all kinds of test to check and everything is normal, except tat i have PCOD and my testortone level is 1.90pg/ml.
My dermatologist suggested me to take tricomax MG and biotin supplement. But I have started taking segals solution just the tablets and shampppo which they provide. Today is the day one, i used the shampoo and hell a lot of hair started coming out i couldnt believe today i lost more than 500hairs.. i literally counted the hairs that i lost.
Im not sure if i should continue the shampoo and capsules. And can somebody suggest me some good shampoo. Im really vexed now..I dunno wat else should i try.. pls suggest a better shampoo and some treatment to atleast slow down my hairfall. im already getting bald
will anyone please let me know if segals solution really helped are they really worth trying it.. i dont want to loose more hair just becoz im using this product..
WIlliam rassan, could you pls suggest me the best shampoo
nimish, you said you had good results after using segals shampoo, did u have bad hairfall after using the shampoo for the first time.
hi every1..i m also suffering from hair loss and balding from front corners though i have dark thick hair on other sides..i am tempted to use segals aftr reading sum reviews ..since anu says that she had more hair loss aftr using their shampoo, i may not order thier shampoo..i may just use their supplements and scalp formula..i am using a good shampoo Called nyle herbal shampoo..(anu u can try this!!)..its very mild and stopped my itching and dandruff problem completely without hairfall..so all i need is a bit of help to preserve my existing hair and i hope segals will do tht..i also advice everyone to use neelibhrigadi oil from kottakal arya vaidya shala ,b4 bath..it helped me get dark hair and good quality..its also made of herbs..after bath i use sesa hair oil b4 going to work..makes me feel good as its herbal..
Scepticism in the world is limitless but one application of a shampoo that contains biotin, saw Palmetto, silica, aloe, gingko biloba, vit.b5, etc.could cause hair loss can only be concluded by an insane. Anu states that she lost more than 500 hair with one application of Segals shampoo but she accepts she had a history of very bad hair health backed by PCOD. No shampoo, bad or good could do anything good or bad in just one application. One needs to give time to judge anything. The biggest problem in getting results with anything is the mindset of users.
I have been a regular user of Segals products for about 14 months now. Not aware that it was available in India, I got my first set consisting of a Formula, Shampoo and a Conditioner - 120 ml trial pack from Canada. Later, after about 2 months, the India office suggested me their Supplement as well. Since I was experiencing massive hairloss and thinning due to my thyroid problem, I took 2 capsules per day for 2 months. My hairloss could be stopped only at the end of the 3rd month and it was scary at times before that. With a visible scalp, Thoughts crossed my mind to start Minoxidil but something inside me always told me to exercise restraint.
Let me state no more hairloss ever after the 1st 3-4 months of using Segals, no improvement in thinning hair or regrowth for the next about 4 months. I was contented that my hairloss had stopped and that was no mean achievement given my state of hairloss. Costs were increasing and I was worried whether I should continue Segals forever. The guys from Chennai informed me that since no further improvement was visible, I could stop but not all of a sudden. Stopping had to be calibrated and should continue with only their shampoo and no other. While speaking to them, I happened to ask for a course for my husband and being a customer for long, asked for a discount. They refused but accomodative a bit with and extra pack of the Supplement and Shampoo. I still had the Formula and with the free Supplement started to reduce the usage gradually.
To my surprise, I could see some visible filling up the gaps in my hair while it was about 10 months alternate day use now. I again switched to my regular usage schedule and must report that I have a considerably better, thicker hair, much less visible scalp, unexpectedly. I do continue to see improved results and so, for the moment no need to discontinue. It’s not a full head 100% but much much better than what it was during the 2009 Christmas.
Other rigorous schedules that I followed include - i) Yoga, Pranayama for 30 mins every morning, ii) Brisk walk for 20 minutes daily, iii) oil massage once a week with a mix of olive and almond oil, iv) Flaxseeds one spoon every morning with a cup of milk, v) emphasis on green leafy veg, absolutely no red meat.
Must reiterate that you need to be disciplined in life to get results. Natural products are always a bit slower in action and we should be fortunate we have a natural option like Segals, else all of us would be going for Minoxidil.
Even those who don,t have a hairloss problem, it would be wise to go for Segals shampoos as a precaution and a preventive measure. Afterall, hair, especially for ladies is all ; money, cost and hair are incomparables for hair. You can’t be thinking of cost if you are a female. Men could make a compromise but not us.
I also wonder if I could have got better results had I found Segals earlier, saving time and money. Without hesitation, Segals would be my strong endorsement for those who are really desperate after all the trials and tribulations.
For information, my husband has started getting results faster than me, probably since I have a thyroid problem.
I am really really confused.I had a hair loss problem back in India and used to take treatment from richfeel which i must say worked wonders for me, after coming to states again I started having the problem of hair loss n thinning.
I called up my doctor and he has advised to use Segal.
I have just placed an order and wanting to use it as I trust my doctor.
lets see what are the results, Positive or negative, I shall definitely make a post.
I’ll tell you about my story and i anyone is interested then they can mail me for details. Since the age of 16 I started noticing hair loss which by the age of 20 had taken full effect.At the age of 22 the hair from front started to recede and I could see my scalp. Ask me a doctor or a medicine that I would have not taken to get a solution that I would have not tried.I am 28 now and about 1 year back I could feel the top and back also getting thin. For the last time I decided to experiment.
Now is the unbelievable part …… for the last 6 months I have had absolutely no hair loss , the texture has changed for good , I can get the ocassional head message from my ma without fearing of hair loss, swim , exercise or to say I have got my life back ( however very late in life).
So what worked for me ?? A routine and a positive attitude. I used Telemall hair building fiber along with Himalaya Dandruff shampoo( no sles and very gentle) , it really does work and is absolutely easy to apply…along with it was the gamechanger for me —- wheatgrass powder every and flaxseed …. Now that my hair loss was controlled I dared to switch to Spectral GNC - L and Revita Shampoo ….. deadly combination , no hair loss and could see my hair texture change ,the only problem expensive and not easily available in india.Then finally I have switched to segals solutions products , it is helping me in maintaining great hair ….I use there advanced hair supplement , advanced thinning oil and shampoo + conditioner….. I have also been using X5 laser for last 6 months….
Believe me everyone has a different story to tell when it comes to hair loss , I am a success story against level 5 hair loss ( norwood scale) , all I can say is the earlier you act the more chances of fighting baldness.With so much info available be cautious but donot shy from experimenting….
You do not believe my story can call me on 9818834366…
I would love to help whichever way I can…
Hi,
Me too have terrible hairloss problem. I am 28 yr old female and lose 100s of hair everyday. Really worried because of this. The hair strands have become too weak and hair fall is uncontrollable. Right now I have started using Segals solutions and have finished 1 bottle of shampoo, conditioner and scalp lotion. I haven’t seen any results as of now. It has been 2 and half months. I am thinking of ordering some more bottles of the product as I want to try it for few more months and check out if it makes any difference.
Can anybody explain me after how many months results starts showing. Advice from people who have used it would be good.
Regards,
Renu
Hi I am having hair fall since last 1 year. I am using Dr.Batra`s product but didnt see any visible effect. Have already spent 10K. My friend is using Javed Habib`s Product but no luck. Now we are planning to go for Segal. Is hair regrowth possible? Does Segal solution Really work? Please advice.
can himalaya hair zone will regrow hair. please advise
To be honest, Segals is far better than any other claim in India and is definitely worth a try. I have been on it for about 5 weeks now and can see a lot improved. No more dandruff and no more hair fall. Hair looks better and thicker. Tiny hair seems to be coming but I am not sure as yet. There seem to be dotted points on my scalp with baby hair, where there was no hair earlier. It may be too early. I am planning to use it for atleast 6 months before coming to any conclusion. But one thing I am convinced, you are sure, it won’t hurt you. If results happen, I gain. If results don’t happen, I hardly lose anything. Much
I took micoinjection therapy in scalp from Revital trichology and it helped me a lot to control my hair loss and regrow considerably.I was suffering from hair loss since 2 years and scalp was showing but now my relatives and friends appreciate the difference. I think this is mesotherapy for hair loss.You got to be careful with this because when my freind did this with other doctor in his area he did not have any benefit and he continued to lose but my results were visible in 5 months.I think it also depends upon what doctors are using in the name of mesotherapy
hii friends,

Don’t use that……..it’s totally waste
Hi Friends … really appreciate your comments. Previously I’d tried many medications including Batra but no use. After I started using Minoxidil, my hair fall was restricted to some extent but not permanently. I was really frustrated as I was getting balder. The damage had been more in last 4 years. Recently I’ve done hair transplantation, however the growth of newly implanted follicles will take 2 more months. I’m just desparately waiting for the result.
However somebody kindly suggest me should I start using Segals solution to prevent the exising old hairs(not the newly transplanted hairs). Please help me. If its good please let me know where can I get it in Mumbai. please reply to - dipankar.bahalia@gmail.com. Thanks a lot.
