This is a nice blend of black castor oil, garlic extract, apple cider vinegar, plus natural herbs such as nettle, as well as other ingredients. I tried it about a month and a half ago, and I like it. I apply it to my scalp daily, but just on the thin and bald spots. I make sure I give the treated areas a little massage, and that's it. I am noticing fine hair growth on my edges as well as my thinner crown area. It has a pleasant scent as well, so I will continue to use it.
