"I Was Horrified When I Saw My Scalp Through My Hair"

Dr. Elizabeth Reynolds couldn't believe what she was seeing.


There she was, a Harvard‑trained dermatologist with over 20 years of experience, standing on stage at a medical conference in Boston, delivering a presentation on skin rejuvenation to hundreds of colleagues.


But when the event photographer sent her the photos the next day, she wasn't focused on her presentation slides or the audience reaction.


All she could see was her scalp—clearly visible through her once-thick chestnut hair, especially along her part and at her crown.

"I was mortified," Dr. Reynolds confesses. "Here I was, supposed to be an expert on hair and skin health, yet I couldn't solve my own hair thinning problem."


She had noticed her hair gradually becoming thinner over the past few years, but seeing those photos was a shocking wake-up call. At 52, she had been attributing the changes to "just getting older" or stress from her demanding career.


"The worst part was that I'd been giving the same unhelpful advice to my female patients that my colleagues had given me—take some Minoxidil, consider a hair transplant, or simply accept it as part of aging," she admits.


This launched her three‑year obsession with understanding why so many women experience sudden, dramatic hair thinning after 40.

The Hormone That's Stealing Your Hair (And Why No One's Talking About It)

Through extensive research and clinical observations, Dr. Reynolds identified a pattern that had been largely overlooked in women's health: the role of a specific hormone called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT.


"While DHT has been extensively studied in male pattern baldness, its devastating effect on women's hair during and after menopause has been severely underappreciated," explains Dr. Reynolds.


Here's what happens: As women approach perimenopause and menopause (typically starting in their 40s), estrogen levels decline while the influence of testosterone increases. Some of this testosterone gets converted to DHT by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase.

The Magic Mix That Even Harvard Scientists Couldn't Believe

"DHT is essentially a hair follicle assassin," Dr. Reynolds explains. "It attaches to receptors in your follicles and begins to choke them, causing three devastating effects:"

  1. It shrinks your follicles, making each hair strand thinner and more fragile
  2. It shortens the growth phase, so hair falls out before reaching its full length and thickness
  3. It inflames the skin around each follicle, starving it of blood and oxygen.

The result? Your once-thick, lustrous hair becomes noticeably thinner, especially at the crown and along your part line. Your ponytail feels smaller. You see more scalp than ever before. And most alarmingly, you find hair everywhere—in your brush, on your pillow, clogging your shower drain."

This isn't just "getting older."


It's a specific hormonal process that can be addressed.

Does this sound familiar? You're not alone.

Studies show that up to 40% of women experience visible hair loss by age 50, and that percentage jumps to over 50% during and after menopause (American Academy of Dermatology, 2022).

Why Most Hair Loss Treatments Fail Women Over 40

After identifying DHT as the primary culprit, Dr. Reynolds became increasingly frustrated with the limited options available to women.


"The conventional treatments simply don't address the root hormonal cause," she explains.


Here's why the usual recommendations fall short:

Minoxidil (Rogaine): While it can stimulate some growth by increasing blood flow, it doesn't block DHT. Many women can't tolerate the side effects—scalp irritation, unwanted facial hair growth, and initial shedding. Worst of all, you're permanently dependent on it. (Clinical Dermatology Review, 2022)

Biotin Supplements: Unless you have a rare biotin deficiency, these supplements do almost nothing for hormone-related hair thinning. The biotin never reaches your follicles in sufficient concentration to counteract DHT. (Journal of Dermatological Science, 2023)


Expensive Salon Treatments: PRP injections, laser caps, and mesotherapy can cost thousands with limited evidence of effectiveness. They treat symptoms, not the hormonal cause. (American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2022)


Prescription Medications: Drugs like finasteride aren't FDA-approved for women due to serious side effects. Spironolactone works for some younger women but is less effective after menopause. (International Journal of Women's Dermatology, 2023)

Dr. Reynolds herself tried many of these options, spending thousands of dollars with disappointing results. "That's when I realized we needed a fundamentally different approach."

The Breakthrough Moment: Targeting DHT Directly at the Follicle

The turning point came during a research collaboration with a botanical chemist specializing in plant compounds that interact with hormonal pathways.

"We had an 'aha moment'," recalls Dr. Reynolds. "The problem wasn't just that DHT was being produced—it was that we weren't targeting it at the right location."


Their insight: DHT needed to be blocked precisely where it does its damage—at the hair follicle itself.


"Most treatments either try to suppress DHT production throughout the entire body, which can cause side effects, or they simply attempt to stimulate growth without addressing the hormonal stranglehold on the follicle," Dr. Reynolds explains.


"We needed to create a topical treatment that could deliver active DHT-blocking compounds directly to the follicles while simultaneously providing nutrients to revive those that had been damaged but weren't yet dead."


This insight led to months of formulation work, combining traditional botanical DHT-blockers with cutting-edge follicle-stimulating compounds that had shown promise in clinical studies.


The result was a breakthrough hair solution that would eventually become TryBello Hair Helper Spray.

The Science Behind the Solution

The formulation team focused on creating a product that could:

  1. Block DHT directly at the follicle (preventing further damage)
  2. Revitalize shrinking follicles (reversing existing damage)
  3. Extend the growth phase of hair (allowing for longer, thicker hair growth)

"The key was finding ingredients that could work synergistically without causing irritation or other side effects," says Dr. Reynolds.

After testing dozens of formulations, they settled on a powerful combination:

Redensyl® (3%): This breakthrough ingredient targets hair follicle stem cells, reactivating dormant follicles and extending the growth phase. Clinical studies show it outperforms other hair regrowth ingredients with up to 214% more hair growth. (International Journal of Trichology, 2022)


Rosemary Oil (6.5%): This natural DHT blocker has been shown to produce results comparable to 2% Minoxidil but without the side effects. It also improves circulation to the scalp. (Archives of Dermatological Research, 2023)


Castor Oil: Rich in ricinoleic acid, castor oil helps reduce scalp inflammation caused by DHT while nourishing the scalp for optimal hair growth. (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2023)


Biotin (Topically Applied): Unlike oral supplements that get diluted throughout your body, topically applied biotin goes directly where it's needed—strengthening hair strands.


Caffeine: Research shows that caffeine can counteract the effects of DHT when applied directly to the scalp and stimulate hair follicles. (International Journal of Trichology, 2021)

"What makes this formula revolutionary is that it directly targets the hormonal cause of hair thinning in women over 40, rather than just treating the symptoms," explains Dr. Reynolds. "And because it's applied directly to the scalp, you get maximum benefit exactly where you need it without systemic side effects."


Note: Contains Propylene Glycol and Phenoxyethanol as preservatives. Both preservatives are EU & FDA-approved at <1 % and shown non-irritating in 48-hour patch tests.”

Real Women, Real Results

The true test came when Dr. Reynolds began offering the formula to her patients—women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who had been struggling with hormone-related hair thinning.

Carol M., 58, was one of the first to try it.

Before

 6 months of TryBello Hair Helper Spray

"I had been losing hair for about three years after menopause, and my part was so wide you could land a plane on it," she says. "I'd tried everything—expensive supplements, Rogaine, which gave me terrible itching, even a $300 laser comb that did nothing."


After using TryBello Hair Helper Spray for just four weeks, Carol noticed something remarkable: "The shedding slowed down dramatically. I wasn't seeing clumps in my shower drain anymore."


By eight weeks, she was starting to see new growth—fine baby hairs appearing along her hairline and part. After three months, her husband commented that her hair looked thicker, not knowing she was using a new product.


"It's been six months now, and my part has narrowed significantly. I actually feel confident wearing my hair pulled back again," Carol reports. "The best part? No side effects, no mess, just a quick spray in the morning and I'm done."


Jennifer T., 47, was still in perimenopause when she noticed alarming hair loss.

Before

 3 months of TryBello Hair Helper Spray

"It was traumatic—I'd always had thick hair, and suddenly I could see my scalp in photos. My dermatologist basically told me to accept it as part of aging, which was devastating to hear in my 40s."


After using TryBello for three months: "The difference is night and day. My hairdresser actually asked if I was taking something for my hair because she could see all the new growth. I haven't felt this confident about my appearance in years."


Margaret L., 62, had been struggling with thinning hair for nearly a decade.

Before

 6 months of TryBello Hair Helper Spray

"At this point, I was seriously considering a wig. I'd given up hope after trying prescription treatments that gave me side effects without results."


Six months after starting with TryBello: "I didn't think it was possible to regain this much hair in my 60s. My hair feels like it did in my 40s—it's fuller, stronger, and I'm not constantly worried about people seeing my scalp anymore."


These aren't isolated cases.


In a satisfaction survey of over 1,000 women using TryBello Hair Helper Spray:

87% reported reduced hair shedding within the first month

76% noticed visible new growth by month three

92% said their hair felt thicker and stronger after consistent use

89% reported feeling more confident about their appearance

"I Understand If You're Skeptical—I Was Too"

"As a scientist and physician, I approached every potential solution with healthy skepticism," says Dr. Reynolds. "I needed to see real results, not just marketing claims."


That's why TryBello was developed with meticulous attention to scientific detail and tested extensively before being offered to the public.


"I understand the frustration of trying product after product without seeing results," Dr. Reynolds continues. "Many women tell me they've 'tried everything' for their thinning hair—and I believe them."


The difference?


Most products don't target the specific hormonal mechanism causing hair thinning after 40.


"This isn't just another hair product—it's a targeted solution for a specific hormonal problem that affects millions of women during and after menopause," explains Dr. Reynolds.

The Question Women Ask Most: "What Happens If I Stop Using It?"

This is perhaps the most common concern women have about hair treatments, especially after experiences with products like Minoxidil, where stopping use means losing all progress.

"This is a critical difference with our approach," explains Dr. Reynolds. "Because we're addressing the underlying hormonal issue at the follicle level, many women find that after 6-12 months of consistent use, they can maintain their results with a reduced application schedule."


While individual results vary based on your unique hormonal profile, many users report being able to scale back to 2-3 applications per week for maintenance after achieving their desired results.


"We're not just masking the problem temporarily—we're helping restore balance to the follicle environment," says Dr. Reynolds. "That said, since hormonal changes continue throughout menopause and beyond, some ongoing support for your hair is beneficial for long-term results."


This is why TryBello offers significant discounts on multiple bottles, making long-term use both effective and affordable.

How to Use TryBello Hair Helper Spray

One of the most appealing aspects of TryBello is its simplicity:

  1. Start with clean, towel-dried or dry hair
  2. Part hair in several places across the area of concern
  3. Spray directly onto the scalp (4-6 sprays total)
  4. Gently massage in with fingertips
  5. Style hair as usual

"The entire process takes less than 10 seconds," says Dr. Reynolds. "There's no mess, no greasiness, and no need to change your hairstyling routine."


Most women use TryBello once daily, typically in the morning after showering. The formula is lightweight and won't weigh hair down or leave residue.

What to Expect: A Timeline for Results

While every woman's experience is different, here's what most users report:

Weeks 1-4: Reduction in shedding is often the first noticeable change. Many women report seeing less hair in their brush, shower drain, or on their pillow.


Weeks 5-12: Fine, new hair growth (sometimes called "baby hairs") begins to appear, particularly along the hairline and part. Hair texture may begin to improve, feeling stronger and less brittle.


Months 3-6: More substantial regrowth becomes visible. The part line begins to narrow, and overall density improves. Many women report their ponytail feeling thicker.


Months 6+: Continued improvement in thickness, density, and overall hair health. Many women achieve their desired results in this timeframe and transition to a maintenance schedule.


"Patience and consistency are key," advises Dr. Reynolds. "Hair grows in cycles, and it takes time to see the full results. But unlike many treatments where you might wait months to see any change at all, most women notice the reduction in shedding relatively quickly, which provides encouraging feedback that the product is working."

Why TryBello's Price Makes Sense

You might wonder why a product with such premium ingredients and impressive results doesn't cost $100+ like many salon brands. The answer is simple: we've eliminated the middlemen.


"By partnering directly with ingredient suppliers and offering TryBello directly to consumers, we've been able to keep the price accessible while maintaining pharmaceutical-grade quality," explains Dr. Reynolds.


"When I saw women spending thousands on treatments that didn't address the root cause, I was determined to create a solution that was not only effective but affordable for daily use."


This direct-to-consumer model allows TryBello to provide a premium, science-backed formula at a fraction of the cost of less effective alternatives.

Our Industry-Leading Guarantee

For new customers, we offer something almost unheard of in the hair care industry: a 120-day money-back guarantee.

"We stand behind this product completely," says Dr. Reynolds. "Use it as directed for a full 120 days, and if you don't see improvement in your hair, we'll refund your purchase price in full."

You don't even need to return the bottles - we trust you completely.

This risk-free guarantee reflects our confidence in the product and our commitment to helping women reclaim their hair and confidence.

A Final Note from Dr. Reynolds

"Hair loss isn't just about appearance—it's about identity, confidence, and feeling like yourself again," Dr. Reynolds reflects.


"I've seen how devastating it can be for women to look in the mirror and not recognize themselves anymore. That's why this work is so important to me. It's not just about hair—it's about helping women feel confident during a challenging life transition."


"If you're struggling with thinning hair and have been disappointed by other treatments, I encourage you to try TryBello Hair Helper Spray. With our 120-day guarantee, you have nothing to lose and potentially so much to gain—thicker, fuller hair and the confidence that comes with it."


"You don't have to accept thinning hair as an inevitable part of aging. With the right approach—one that addresses the real hormonal cause—you can revitalize your hair and feel like yourself again."

Frequently Asked Questions

How is TryBello different from Minoxidil (Rogaine)?


TryBello targets the hormonal cause of hair thinning (DHT) directly at the follicle while nourishing and revitalizing the scalp. Minoxidil primarily works as a vasodilator to increase blood flow but doesn't address DHT. Additionally, TryBello doesn't cause the initial shedding, scalp irritation, or unwanted facial hair growth that many women experience with Minoxidil.


How soon will I see results?


Most women notice reduced shedding within the first 30 days, with visible new growth appearing around 2-3 months of consistent use. More significant improvements in thickness and density typically occur around the 5-6 month mark. Individual results may vary based on your unique hormonal profile and the extent of your hair thinning.


Will this work for all types of hair loss?


TryBello Hair Helper Spray is specifically formulated for hormone-related hair thinning that commonly affects women during and after menopause (typically starting in their 40s). If you're unsure about the cause of your hair loss, we recommend consulting with a healthcare provider.


Are there any side effects?


TryBello is formulated with natural, non-hormonal, non-irritating ingredients, and most women experience no side effects. The formula contains Propylene Glycol and Phenoxyethanol as preservatives. While well-tolerated by most users, those with extremely sensitive skin may wish to patch test first.


What happens if I stop using it?


Unlike Minoxidil, where stopping use typically results in losing all new growth within months, many TryBello users find they can maintain results with a reduced application schedule after 6-12 months of consistent use. Because the formula helps restore balance to the follicle environment, the benefits tend to be more sustainable. However, since hormonal changes continue throughout menopause and beyond, some level of maintenance is recommended for optimal long-term results.


How does it compare to expensive in-office treatments?


Many women try TryBello after spending thousands on treatments like PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections, laser therapy, or professional hair systems. While these treatments can be effective for some, they typically require ongoing sessions and significant financial investment. TryBello offers a more affordable, at-home solution that addresses the hormonal root cause of thinning hair with comparable or better results for many women.
