Roller-ball applicator

Post by Jacob » Sun May 05, 2013 10:34 am

While applying Capillogain this morning I was thinking how nice it'd be to be able to apply the stuff a couple more times during the day- on the most stubborn areas. The problem is there's no way I'm taking the bottle around with me. I wouldn't even care to put some in a smaller bottle, if it's a dropper type deal or something.

So...I remembered getting an email on some new under-eye product that used a roller-ball applicator. It'd be nice to have a roller-ball version of Cap( Even if it's not going to be recommended to apply Cap more than twice a day :doubt: ) , or any other liquid product one uses for hair loss. Just roll it on the receded areas and/or crown. I can see many even wanting to use it as their main application method.


I did a quick search and there actually is a hair loss product/company using such an applicator: http://lorealprofessionnel.co.uk/blog/scalp-care/ Supposedly "99% people were satisfied with the new and improved applicator**" ...it doesn't say what % preferred it over other modes of application though...

It'd still be nice to have the products already in such a bottle/applicator..but this will do for now.

Good idea, but I fear it works only with plain hydroalcoholic vehicles. It may work with our vehicle, have to test it, but thick liposomal vehicles will surely clog up the ball-tip. I already used such an applicator for the eyes some years ago.

In the past I've used deodorants that were thicker than Cap..they were roll-ons. But those were BIG roll-ons.
Let me know please if you do try it..or otherwise I'll get one of those refillable ones and test it out. I wonder if a Walgreens or other store would have something...

Go for it, test it, I don´t think that I will find the time to test it soon.

Will do. I think I'll put my own label on it- The Roller Bald.

There are some cheap ones at Amazon...

I forgot to give an update on this. It does actually work quite good. The only problem is leakage, which doesn't happen if you keep it...ball up :shock: Might not have to worry about that with a better quality one.
