FAQ

Why does hair loss happen?

There are two different kinds of hair loss. One is normal hair loss where 50~70 strands of hair naturally fall out daily based on the hair life cycle. The other is abnormal hair loss which is caused by, but not limited to, mental stress, hereditary factors, abnormal hormone secretions, and stressful life styles (unhealthy diet, smoking and drinking).

I have noticed bald spots on my head, what do I do?

You need to look back at your lifestyle; take notice of any major changes that you have gone through recently and see what factors may be causing your hair loss (see above).
Before you start panicking, we strongly suggest you have a hair diagnostic done in order to find out what kind of hair loss you are experiencing. We will then be able to select and recommend the hair tonic to best suite your needs.

Why does LAISO work?

LAISO contains a variety of organic plant extracts to stimulate blood circulation in your scalp. Laiso-Gen (garlic extract) is the main ingredient. It also contains Japanese Wild Ginger (reduces stress) and Japanese Howthorn (stimulates blood circulation). See What's in Laiso for more information.

How long does it take to see results?

It depends on what type of hair loss you are experiencing, however it may take anywhere from three to six months to see the results. It is very important for you to use the product twice a day (morning and night) daily as directed.

How much does the treatment cost?

A six month long treatment program will cost about $200 - $400. This includes the cost of our hair growth product, shampoo and conditioner. In Japan, we have several beauty salons where you can get the steamer treatment, which costs about $30 per treatment. We recommend getting this treatment every other week.

Are there any side effects?

All of our products are made of organic plant extracts which typically do not lend themselves to negative side effects. In over 40 years, we have yet to hear of any reported negative side effects. However, should you have any unique skin conditions, or if you experience any skin irritation, immediately stop using the product and consult your physician.

Should I wash my hair everyday?

Washing your hair is one of the best ways to care for your hair when experiencing hair loss.

However, there is a clear distinction between washing your hair and washing your scalp.

We recommend that you wash your scalp thoroughly everyday. If you wash your hair too much, that could damage the hair. So you may want to limit the amount of shampoo you put on your hair on a daily basis. Please focus on massaging your scalp.

What should I eat to maintain healthy hair?

You need to eat balanced meals which contain protein as well as minerals like zinc and copper. Remember, a healthy body means healthy hair.

Can women use LAISO?

Yes. Our organic products are great for female hair loss.

How often should I use LAISO?

We recommend using LAISO daily, once in the morning and at night. Please see Daily Care for more information.

Should I apply the tonic immediately after washing my hair?

Yes, it serves for better absorption in to the scalp.
