Product Rating: 5 I am satified
Reviewer: Jeanette word from lithonia, georgia  Thu Aug 31 2006

SHIN MIN has worked for me. I am a 43 yrs old black female. I noticed, as i get older my hair is thinning. I started using shin min on a regular basis and i noticed my hair started growing.
My beautician stated at my last visit that my hair is growing. My hair is now starting to thicken up.

Everyone one may experience different results. If you are not satified, stop using the product and find something that will work for you. I am sticking with shin min.

Product Rating: 5 Can't Believe I Finally Found a Product that Actually Works!
Reviewer: Michelle from Yardley, PA  Wed Aug 16 2006

My hair grows very, very slowly. In fact, I haven't had it cut in about 20 years but it never got more than collar length. I have tried all sorts of supplements and topical products that claim to accelerate hair growth but none of them worked. Reluctantly I decided to try Shen Min, telling myself that I was probably wasting more money on yet another worthless ripoff. Hope springs eternal, though, and I'm glad it does. Within one month I noticed about half an inch worth of growth. I figured it was probably wishful thinking, but went ahead and bought a bottle for the second month. By the end of the second month, others were starting to comment that my hair looked a little longer (I hadn't told anyone I was trying something new). Now I'm at the end of the third month and realize that this definitely isn't imaginary. I believe my hair has grown about two inches and it definitely feels heavier and is at my shoulders. I am so used to getting ripped off by products that don't work as they're advertised that I figured I needed to give a good review to one of the very few products I've ever bought that does live up to its billing.

Product Rating: 4 Hair growth
Reviewer: Sara from New York  Thu Mar 16 2006

I have never had long hair before. My hair is naturally curly and everyday i would straighten it. Since my hair is not thick I was ruining it making it dry and the split ends would force me to cut it often. I stopped straightening and started taking Shen Min. I do notice a big change in my hair. It looks fuller at the top and It did grow even though i have only taken these vitamins for 3 months. I recommend this this product!

Product Rating: 1 ppl who think this product works... are naive
Reviewer: Chrissy from NYC  Thu Mar 02 2006

I used these pills committedly & correctly with a healthy diet for almost 18 months with NO results what-so-ever. Hair kept falling, falling, falling... nothing grew back.

I have been off the pills for 6 months and nothing has changed with my hair loss situation, its as if I never took the pills.

I personally believe those women writing positive reviews have something else to credit for the stop of their hairloss situation, b/c this sh**ty product is definately not the reason why they think they would even consider recommending this waste of money to others.

Simply does not work, I absolutely agree with HairAngel on every aspect.

Product Rating: 4 Not a miracle drug....but with times it works
Reviewer: slowtogrow from Charleston, SC  Thu Feb 23 2006

I have been using this product (the vitamins and the hair activator) for six months and have seen a difference.

No......I didn't wake-up two months later with long beautiful hair. But six months later, my hair care provider has noticed a couple of inches of new hair growth. She also noticed that my grey strands are black at the roots. I still have grey hair.......but the grey strands are blacker at the base.

My reality......it will take two years for my to grow to the length I want........but my new growth is healthier and blacker. Because it is healthier it will grow longer.

It isn't a miracle drug.......but given time you will be peased with the product. I believe in two years my hair will be longer, healthier, and blacker with the products than if I didn't use the products.

Product Rating: 4 VERY GOOD PRODUCT
Reviewer: lisa from NEW YORK  Mon Feb 13 2006

This product has proven to be very good. I'm in my early 20's and noticed hair loss. It was a bit scary as it wasn't alot of hair but instead strands of hair everywhere. It was on the car seat, all over my sheets, and on all of my shirts. I blamed it on the water, and possibly stress. Well I did two things, I started taking these vitamins and bought a shower filter. I now have strong beautiful healthy hair. U can see growth of shorter hair all around. This product is excellent and I would recommend it to anyone starting to have a hairloss problem.

good luck to everyone purchasing this product!! Oh and I don't know if it's the vitamins but I also found increased energy with them.

Product Rating: 3 Vitamin overdose (or "underdose") can harm too.
Reviewer: HairAngel from Boston, MA  Wed Feb 01 2006

It's amazing how a product can work wonders in some and horrors in others. For what I noticed, Shen Min is loaded with the essential vitamins and minerals that are proven to benefit -in this case in the woman- the hair. The reason why it may work well with some women and not with others, check your daily input on all the vitamins and minerals listed on the bottle's label. For example, an excess of vitamin A can not only cause the total reverse on the result (instead of helping hair grow it will cause it to fall) but it can also be fatal. So could be of negative result the overdose in other kind of vitamins. Do your survey. An excess of vitamin intake does not have to necessarily be out of the bottle, but of what a person consummes in meals/snacks in a daily basis. I believe that Shen Min has the potential to be a great product although I do not use it, but I also think that you should pay attention at why something works or not for you. The following is just a little tip for women in their late thirties and over fourties who suffer from hair fall. Check closely your life style. Have you been eating well? Could you be lacking vitamins and minerals? Could you have developed Iron Anemia? Could you be suffering from thyroidal problems such as the most common Hypothydorism which is due to hormones imbalance? Is the water you are using for bathing safe, for example, does it contain chlorine and other harmful chemicals or natural minerals that damage your hair and skin? There are great and very affordable filters for sale that would solve this problem. All of these that I mentioned above cause hair loss! I may sound like I am trying to "teach" the rest of the world on a subject, but I myself have been struggling to find solutions for this crisis called "hair fall" and I know how it feels to be going through this. Because I found little answers for a lot that I tried out there, I decided to make my own surveys, and I guess that all that I have found out for myself has helped and given me hope, so I wanted to share with others. The best things to do if you liked what I wrote is to mention it to your physician. He/she then can help with the rest.
Best of luck for all!

Product Rating: 4 Shen-Min Women
Reviewer: Teri from Philadelphia, Pa  Sat Jan 07 2006

I've been using this product for about two months. In that short period of time, I've noticed my hair is already thicker looking. It also seems to be growing at a much more rapid pace. I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it to my friends.

Product Rating: 5 Great Steady Product
Reviewer: Tamara   Wed Oct 26 2005

Shen Min does work. I've been using it off and on since 2000. It grows and thickens your hair. (in my case it even makes my curly hair straighter as it grows). How you take care of your hair is a completely different story. The product does what it says and it does it extremely well!

Product Rating: 1 Waste of Money
Reviewer: Laura Johnston from London  Wed Aug 17 2005

All these tablets gave me were depression, mood swings and sore breasts. I gained an extra stone in weight in just 6 weeks. I would not recommend this to anyone. My esteem is at an all time low because not only do I have androgenetic alopecia because of using these tablets I am also now overweight. I've binned the remaining medicine. What a waste of money that was.

Product Rating: 5 I love it
Reviewer: Jennifer from Houston, TX  Mon Apr 25 2005

I am 31 years old and have to admit that the only time I've experience hair loss was after the birth of all 4 of my children. With the first 3 it took about a year before the hair loss completely stopped and then my hair would start to grow back. Each time, my hair would fall out to the extreme where my scalp was sensitive to the touch; you could see the thinning areas; and my hair would clog up the tub. All my brushes would be full of hair and I'd have to sweep after every blowdry. I have been taking the the pills as directed for almost a month and have already experienced a very noticeable reduction in hair loss and regrowth in the thinning areas. I have not experienced any side effects at all. In matter of fact I expect the hair loss to completely stop within the next 2-3 months. I intend to continue to use this product even afterwards. I am very happy with this product!!

Product Rating: 3 Not sure about product
Reviewer: Coco   Mon Feb 28 2005

I have been using shen min for about 9 months. In the beginning I did notice a change with my hair becoming thicker and the bald spots regrowing some hair but my hair was also shorter. As my hair grew, the effects of the shen min were non existent. I have excessive breakage now and the thinning is occurring again. I am a Black woman and was told that this product would work for my hair texture.(coarse, thick hair) I have one and a half bottles left and think I will stop after that. I believe for me this was a short term cure but over a long period of time, it doesnt work. My hair doesnt look healthy at all and I have been religious on taking this 2x a day. I have androgenetic alopecia so I am not sure if this product would really work. For right now I am disappointed because I thought I found a good product but for the past 3 months, I am noticing excessive breakage.

Product Rating: 3 Slight change
Reviewer: Bonnie from Rochester, NY  Sun Feb 27 2005

Have been using this Shen Min product since June of 2004. Guess that makes it around nine months now. Was expecting a better hair re-growth but honestly don't see much of a change nor in the gray change, maybe a slight change but not enough for me. I have two more bottles left, and will continue with this. But can only take one pill a day so this will possible take longer? Two pills upset my stomach and can handle one a day. Did take two a day for around a month or so though. Still hoping for the best!

Product Rating: 3 Helps hairloss
Reviewer: Ganne from Ohio  Fri Feb 25 2005

I have been using Shen Min Advanced for Woman Formula for 2 mos. and after the 5th week, I noticed that my hairloss stopped almost completely. When I would shower there was always a large ball of hair in the drain and there is none now. I also noticed hardly any hair in my hair brush that was always full. This does appear to me to be a great product for average hair loss in women. I do not see any change in the grey hair but expect that will take months to see if it brings results. I like the product. It has no ill effects on my stomache or nerves as other women have reported. I am 42 years old and have average hairloss.

Product Rating: 1 Product sucks!
Reviewer: Tracey Zachary from Dallas, Texas  Thu Jan 27 2005

I have been using Shin Min for about 6 months. I haven't noticed much of a difference in hair growth or color yet. I started experiencing headaches/stomach cramps/mood/yelow complexion/mood swings/constipation/numbness in arms & legs about the same time I started taking the product. I never used to have these illness.

Product Rating: 5 VERY PLEASED
Reviewer: LILY from Toronto  Tue Jan 25 2005

I have been using Shen Min for 2 Months. I didn't notice much in the first month, but my hair feels a lot thicker now. I am very pleased with the results

Product Rating: 1 Does Not Work
Reviewer: Chris from Melbourne, Australia.  Tue Jan 18 2005

I have been on Shen Min for 8 months now and have yet to see new hair growth. I lost some hair due to stress & anemia. The advertisements and product information look promising - it is all one big LIE. Most probably written by the company staff, friends & family. Don't waste your hard working money on Shen Min it is a rip-off.

Product Rating: 5 Shen Min grows Miracles!!!
Reviewer: Layah from Brooklyn, NYC  Thu Dec 16 2004

My hair was constantly breaking off and not returning to its thick healthy state. I started taking Shen Min, and now I have a much more strong healthy hair that grows!!!

Product Rating: 1 DO NOT BELIEVE - THIS IS A LIE
Reviewer: Martha from Atlanta  Sat Dec 04 2004

I have tried this product for the "great information"??? they give but it is JUST A LIE!!!! I had to reasons to use this product: I have gray hair and I am losing my hair. Nevertheless, I did not see any improvement at all. I still would have been happy if at least my gray hair would have return to my former color. But nothing at all. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!
