Why Matthew McConaughey didn’t need a hair transplant: the hair product line that has the world talking
- When a surgeon claimed the actor had had surgery to combat his thinning hair, the Hollywood star admitted to using plant-based Regenix for two decades
- The CEO of company that makes the products reports more interest from Chinese men, from women and from young people, and says rising stress triggers hair loss
Actor Matthew McConaughey found himself in the middle of an unintended media blitz recently, over hair product.
McConaughey was responding to claims by a hair transplant surgeon that the actor had had an operation on his thinning hair, something he’d been experiencing since the late 1990s.
But McConaughey not only vociferously denied the rumours, he also let on that he’d been using a specific treatment on his scalp for the better part of two decades, and that it had been instrumental in regrowing his hair.
Regenix, a plant-based product line, has been used since 1984 to strengthen and condition thinning hair.
McConaughey’s revelation nearly crashed the brand’s website and generated an overwhelming demand for its products, although the vote of confidence is no surprise for the brand’s president and CEO, William Edwards.
