Recommended routine: Use Shapiro MD Shampoo and Conditioner every day if possible. Use the Shampoo and Conditioner every day. If you shower in the morning, apply the Shapiro MD Foamer at night for 24 hour DHT blocking. Apply the 5% minoxidil after your shower (not before!) to help stimulate new hair growth and restore the missing hair to your bald areas. For fastest results, we recommend leaving the shampoo in for at least 5 minutes (20 minutes max) after applying it, typically before you get in the shower.

Shapiro MD Shampoo contains three powerful and natural active ingredients that have been shown in clinical studies to block the effects of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the hormone that is widely believed to be a leading cause of hair loss. This patented formula is designed for use by men and women of all hair types. For best results, use with the Shapiro MD Conditioner and Daily Leave-In Foam. Noticeable improvement in hair health and appearance may be seen after only a few uses. Individual results may vary.

DIRECTIONS: Apply to wet hair, massage through, and leave on for 2 to 5 minutes or longer if desired. Rinse. Allow at least 2-3 months of daily use for noticeable results. Continue use thereafter. Avoid contact with eyes.

HEALTH WARNING: Not for use by women of childbearing age, women who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or breast feeding, because of potential hormonal risk on an unborn or nursing child. Please check with your physician if you have sensitivity to any ingredient of this shampoo.

1. Testosterone enters the hair follicle cells through gateways known as androgen receptors. Inside the cell Testosterone undergoes enzymatic reactions. A byproduct of this process, Di-Hydro Testosterone (DHT) is the root cause of shedding and thinning hair.
2. The enzyme 5-alpha reductase (5AR) is present within the hair follicle cells. This enzyme is responsible for converting testosterone to DHT.
3. DHT interacts with the DNA of the hair follicle cells, activates the hair loss genes and inhibits normal hair growth.
4. Hair production slows, the hair follicles atrophy and produce finer, thinner hairs. Eventually over time the hair production stops completely and the hair follicles die.
