Avacor is a line of hair loss treatment products that contains minoxidil. It includes a topical solution, nutritional supplement, and various hair care products like shampoo and conditioner. The products are designed to stop hair loss and encourage regrowth through maintaining scalp health and a supportive environment for hair follicles. However, the claims of being "all natural" and having "no side effects" are questionable as minoxidil is known to potentially cause side effects like itching and swelling.

women. The entire Avacor brand is marketed as a

Scalp Detoxifying Shampoo and Thickening
Shampoo
Avacor offers two shampoos. The Scalp Detoxifying Shampoo cleanses the
scalp and helps remove impurities from the hair. This helps the scalp to be
healthier and aids in hair growth. The Thickening Shampoo gives a fuller and
thicker head of hair. It gently cleanses and adds body to flat, lifeless hair and
providing volume without weighing down the hair.
4. Volumizing Conditioner and Styling Gel
The volumizing conditioner helps to give the hair, body and shine. Avacor also offers a
styling gel that claims to give hair volume without the sticky buildup that may be
experienced with other gels.
Positive Effects
Avacor is a “hair care system” that claims to stimulate hair growth just by using their scalp
detoxifying shampoo, topical formulation and their nutricap. This suite of products
encourages hair regrowth by maintaining healthy hair follicles, removing hair impurities
and providing a good environment for possible hair growth.
Negative Effects
The makers of Avacor claimed that there are no side effects in using the products.
However, because Avacor contains minoxidil, there is some concern about this claim,
since minoxidil does indeed have some potential side effects. These can include hives,
swelling, itching, and enhanced sensitivity.
A very questionable thing about Avacor too is that it claims to be “all natural” and with “no
side effects”. However, according to healthy-skin-guide.com, Avacor side effects include
dizziness, light-headedness, fainting, headaches, sudden unexplained weight gain, water
retention, rapid heartbeat or chest tightness or discomfort. It also adds some minor side
effects like skin irritation with subsequent hair dryness, mild heartburn, nausea,
constipation and diarrhea.
