It is made of chinese herbs and vitamins. I have seen a great improvement in my hair from taking them. I have fine thin hair and not a lot of it. For Shampoos I really like,
Aveda's Volumizing Shampoo. it claims to increase hair size by 17%. I know that is not a lot, I mean I'd really like 50%, but that, of course would be a miracle. I'll 17% whenever I can get it. AVeda Products are not cheap, but when I think of all the money I spent on shampoos and conditions and product that claimed to thicken hair, well turns out I could afford Aveda. Good luck to you

If the mixture is badly messed up, it could burn the hair off, but it would most likely grow back. I suggest seeing a doctor, because you could have a condition that causes your hair to fall out.
In any case, I'd avoid permanent haircolor due to the reaction you had the first time. I'm sorry about your hair =( Many regrowth treatments are effective, like Rogaine. I suggest looking into those, but consult with a doctor first if at all possible.
