Dr. Stephen Hsu, GHSU Professor of Oral Biology in the College of Dental Medicine, credits his shampoo’s hair-thickening properties to antioxidants and plant compounds, including green tea, that improve the viability of hair follicle cells.

Hair follicle cells can become damaged from several factors, such as oxidative stress, chemotherapy, medication, diet and changes in hormone levels. Male baldness, for instance, results from changes in testosterone levels.

“Our products are designed to make the cells that produce hair healthier,” Hsu said. “We cannot make people grow hair. We cannot make hair grow back, but we try to make the cells
in better condition with powerful antioxidants and plant extracts.”

“When people try it, they usually see results in three to five days after they start using it every day. They feel the hair get stronger and notice fewer detached hairs when they comb or shower,” Hsu said. “We have achieved the purpose to provide a very good formula that contains natural plant compounds without any of the toxic chemicals.”

What People Say
“This Hair Thickening Shampoo makes my hair feel a whole lot better. It definitely volumizes it. I saw great results from it. It looked like more hair was there. Over the past year, I’ve tried different products, and it seems to be working the best out of all of them. Also I found that you didn’t have to use a whole lot of it for it to work.”
– Van Simpson

“This works great and I noticed a difference. I’m 49 and my hair is thinner from dying it for so long, but I noticed a difference when I used this shampoo and I have tried a lot of expensive shampoos. This worked the best.”

“Most current effective anti-dandruff shampoos contain ingredients that are toxic to humans and the environment,”
according to Dr. Stephen Hsu, GHSU Professor of Oral Biology. “Our green tea shampoo uses technology without coal tar,
sulfate, sulfur or toxins. It’s environmentally friendly, and it works.”

Green tea polyphenols promote the skin’s metabolic equilibrium, shield against autoimmune diseases and provide
antioxidant, anti-microbial, anti-cancer and anti-inflammation properties.

Coal tar, a common ingredient in conventional dandruff shampoos, works by slowing the production of skin cells, but it is carcinogenic in high doses and banned for cosmetic use in many countries. Anti-dandruff shampoos also typically contain selenium sulfide, sulfur and salt. Side effects can include scalp and skin irritation as well as hair loss, discoloration and dryness.

“The manufacturers put all that in shampoos for people to put on their head,” Hsu said, noting that coal tar also stains and
smells bad.

“The goal of our research and development has been to replace those potentially hazardous agents with green tea
components that have no risk for humans or the environment.”
