Some By Mi is such a popular brand, and I finally got tempted to check it out for myself. I’ve been trying some of their skincare, as well as haircare. The Some By Mi Cica Peptide Anti Hair Loss Derma Scalp Treatment promises to help with hair loss, improve the condition of the scalp and hair roots, and give us shiny, tangle-free hair. Sounds like a dream; I’ll take two.
The treatment is available on Jolse and in Jolse’s eBay storefront. The tube is rather small, only 50ml. Inside is a product with the consistency of thick conditioner. It smells a bit like mint and creates the characteristic tingle on the scalp.
How to use:
Spread over clean and damp scalp and hair
Leave on for a few minutes
Rinse and style as usual
Because the tube doesn’t have that much product, I usually apply the treatment only to my scalp and roots, and then use a different conditioner on the main length of the hair. I wanted it to last for more than just a couple of uses, and the main benefit I’m interested in is for the scalp.
To be perfectly clear, this is not a medication and is no way a substitute for medical assistance. If you experience hair loss, especially a sudden onset, seeing a doctor is a good idea. I’m not a doctor, but I am experienced in the realm of hair troubles, and no topical product will be more effective than an Rx if you have an actual deficiency or a medical issue.
Some by Mi Cica Peptide Anti Hair Loss treatment is formulated with peptides, centella asiatica (aka cica), green tea, salicylic acid, and various plant extracts - see a full list at the end of the review.
My impressions
I like this scalp treatment. It’s easy to use and makes my oily roots feel extra clean. I also think it helps balance out the oil production (maybe because of the salicylic acid in the ingredients?).
As far as having an effect on hair loss - this is really difficult to assess, especially as an individual outside of a lab setting. I am seeing some baby hairs poke through, but it’s hard to assign it to a specific product. I think I’m noticing fewer hairs left in my brush as well, so it’s probably doing something beneficial. I definitely like it and will continue using it a couple of times a week. I’m also applying Some By Mi hair tonic (not on the same days) - review here.
My only wish would be for a larger tube. I would be fine with it having a higher price tag and being about double the size.
