I don’t happen to have a problem with thinning hair.  However, my guy is another story.  He won’t admit that there is a sparse section in the back of his head that is beginning to show, despite knowing how many hairs he sheds.  Instead of bringing up a sensitive issue to him, I replaced his shampoo and conditioner with the Revita High-Performance Hair-Stimulating Shampoo and COR Hair-Growth Stimulating Conditioner from DS Laboratories to see if this duo would help improve the situation.

Knowing how well their Nia Helio Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner worked for me, I had great expectations of what their technology could achieve.  With multiple compounds of active ingredients such as Procyanidin B-2, amino acids, copper peptides, biotin, apple polyphenol, emu oil, spin traps, and more to feed, hydrate, and revitalize hair follicles, this Revita Shampoo sounded promising. The Revita Conditioner has active bio-adhesive and hydrophobic ingredients like stem cells, spin traps, niacinamide, arginine and others so they will remain on the scalp with the ability to keep on working for at least twelve hours after rinsing.   

When he comes home after working a long day in his office, he is too tired and stressed to notice much of anything during his shower before dinner.  However, his sense of smell caught onto the different scent because the water stopped longer than it takes him to soap up.

I could tell he looked wounded, but I told him I needed his male opinion on these products since they were geared for men.  Although I felt a bit guilty in stretching the truth, it was done in his best interest.   Knowing all the products that I am constantly testing, he nodded in understanding.

I asked what he thought so far.  He mentioned he liked the scent of both products and how good the shampoo felt on his scalp when lathering up, like a message.

The products did make his hair shiny and more manageable.   I moved in and examined what his hair felt like.  

My guy rolled his eyes.  He knows that I was making an initial assessment.  

I smiled because it was soft.  Realizing that you can’t expect miracles overnight, I waited patiently to keep checking his hair every night once he left the shower for any changes.  

Several days and then a week went by with nothing exciting to report except quite not as many falling hairs everywhere.  Another week went by and about the same amount of hairs ended up in the shower drain as that first week.  Then the weirdest thing happened close to the end of that third week, I could swear that emptier spot on his head looked like it filled in just a bit.  

Apparently, my guy also had been examining his head for progress.  “Is it my eyes or do I look like my hair is somewhat fuller?” he asked, staring at the back of his head with my hand mirror.  

“I was thinking the same thing,” I replied.  

This welcome news made my guy’s face light up like a candle.  “Even Martin noticed my hair looked better and asked what I was using.  He wants the link where to buy.”

What my guy experienced and the length of time it took to see his results with these products was based on his individual body chemistry.  You may notice improvement sooner or later or even not at all.  I only can tell you what happened on my guy’s head.

If you’re shedding hairs more than you would like, I think you should pop over to DS Laboratories and learn more about these Revita hair products because they can help.

Though it feels like winter will never end, warm weather will arrive before you know it, which means time to take out the swimsuits and shorts. I hate to admit this, but working all day on the computer hasn’t been exactly kind to my backside. The way I saw it was that I had two choices, I either looked for a way to get rid of this extra cellulite or give up on wearing shorts and swimsuits this year.

When DS Laboratories approached about reviewing some of their products, I noticed they had a cellulite product that sounded promising called Oligo.DX Cellulite Reducing Gel. To begin with, it did not require much time to do and worked differently than other cellulite products that I used in the past.


This one was designed with ingredients to deeply penetrate the tissues and dissolve that trapped dimpled fat and dispose of it through darker urine. As I understand it, the reason for this capability is because of a highly effective delivery system that uses very tiny burrowing nanosomes to get the job done.

Unlike other cellulite solutions, this product did not require any dry brushing or massaging first. All that was necessary was to rub some of the cream on. The idea that I didn’t have to waste a lot of timing preparing first before using the product worked for me, especially since my guy jokes that I am almost connected to the computer like a part of the Borg Collective of Star Trek.

The company claims this product will most likely show results in two weeks of daily use. It also clearly stated over time cellulite would come back once discontinuing use of the product.  Nonetheless, it is only a fair assumption as your body forms new cellulite.

I used the cream once a day after my shower. I didn’t notice anything for the first few times I rubbed some of this cream on. I felt disappointed, but knew I was expecting too much, too soon. Therefore, I kept on rubbing. No joke, I did start seeing some changes on my eleventh day. 

Two lumpy areas, one on my upper thigh and the other, on the back of my other thigh, looked smoother.  You can imagine my excitement because I distinctly remembered those humps were bigger! Feeling a wonderful rush, I kept rubbing and am still rubbing. 

I am seeing less cellulite than before I started. However, the cellulite is not all gone–but it has improved.  In fact, I consider my body still a work in progress. I will continue with Oligo.DX and am hopeful about what may be possible by the end of this tube.

Are you ready for summer? If not, then do learn more about Oligo.DX Cellulite Reducing Gel from DS Laboratories. It can give you more confidence in time for swimsuit season!

Serious Dry Hair Rescue--DS Laboratories Nia Helio Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner (Review)

Nia Helio Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner


When DS Laboratories reached out and asked if I would be willing to review some of their products, I was immediately intrigued by the premise of how their technically advanced formulas were designed to work and had to say yes.  The products that I wanted to start with were their Nia Helio Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner and test out that next-generation nanosome technology for myself to see how much better they hydrated, repaired, strengthened, and protected dry hair like mine.


This color-safe shampoo and conditioner use rare botanicals including hydrolyzed phyto-proteins and amphoteric amino acids that go deeper into the hair shaft of the strands themselves.  Instead of just coating the outer surface of the hair, their clinically proven formula can penetrate the cortex for real change.

I put my dry, thick hair through a lot by coloring and excessive heat from blow-drying and styling irons in the name of beauty.  Restoring lasting luster and brittleness is a constant battle that I take seriously like the current damaged condition of my hair.  Now was the perfect time to see what this hydrating duo was capable of because I am getting over a bit of a virus that did a real number on my hair to dull and dry it out even more.  

As I lathered up, I noticed the Nia Helio Shampoo has a pleasant, light fragrance, which appealed to me.  It also rinsed out well before I towel-dried and applied about a nickel-sized amount of the conditioner.  The products are meant to be used together for the best results.  

According to the directions, you can leave the conditioner on from one to five minutes.  With the pitiful shape my hair was in, I opted for the full minutes before rinsing.

Wow, what a difference I saw and felt once my hair was dry.  Suddenly what was on my head looked healthy again.  It was shiny and soft against my fingers once I started playing with it.  Yes, yes, yes, Mary B., had pretty hair back--and Nia Helio Hydrating Shampoo and Hydrating Conditioner brought it back!

I was so hyped that I wanted to put the products to the ultimate test--seeing how they handled softening a head of coarse, wiry dry hair.  Therefore, I urged my mother to try the set next.  Since products never seem to transform the condition of her hair to the degree she would like, we kept our fingers crossed.  

I must admit the DS Laboratories duo did do a nice job of giving my mother more manageability and added softness than I have seen in quite a while.  She really liked it as well and has now confiscated the products for herself.

Anyone with a severe dry hair problem needs Nia Helio Hydrating Shampoo and Hydrating Conditioner because it does a remarkable job.  You heard it here from me, Mary B., and seconded by my mother.  For more information, visit DS Laboratories or to learn where to buy here.
