Instructions for use

Apply Folligen shampoo to wet hair and scalp, let the foam act for 2 to 3 minutes and rinse thoroughly. Follow with Vitatin conditioner if desired. In case of excessive hair loss or thinning hair, always use the shampoo in combination with the Cellagen for an effective treatment. If you suffer from excessive hair loss or thinning hair, we recommend using the shampoo and conditioner every day for the first 14 days. After this period you can follow your own routine (advice is at least 3 times a week). You should continue to use Cellagen twice a day.
