This is getting some attention these days, although no one has really used it long enough to say if it's doing much. Notice it's not cheap:

Who would have thought a simple scalp conditioner could restore your hairs original color while also making it thicker and stronger? Thanks to Keracytes follicle stimulating component, your hair follicles become stronger and more resilient, allowing them to better function as intended.
Follicles are a collection of skin cells that nurture hair growth. Operating together almost like a knitting factory, they team up with sebaceous (oil-producing) glands, keratinocytes, and melanocytes to produce hair. Keratinocytes are cells that produce the protein Keratin, a strong and fibrous protein that makes up the hair, nails, and skin. Through the growth process, keratin is knitted into the hair shafts. When Keracyte is introduced, hair grows back stronger and thicker.
The cells known as melanocytes are responsible for hair color. These cells produce and contain the pigment known as melanin, which gives us coloring in our skin, eyes, and hair. In response to Keracyte, these cells begin to once again produce your natural hair color.
Keracyte contains fewer ingredients than DermaLastyl-, but shares the same active ingredients: Tropoelastin, Hyaluronic Acid, Argireline, and Matrixyl-3000. The actives in Keracyte are at much higher concentrations than used in DermaLastyl-, and there are no oils (for example, the stearates).
As first discovered with DermaLastyl-, the active ingredients can effectively reverse wrinkling and decrease the onset of various signs of aging. Unexpectedly, the same combination of Tropoelastin, Hyaluronic Acid, Argireline, and Matrixyl-3000 in Keracyte has been found to produce another age-defying result. When applied directly to the scalp, Keracyte creates the thicker and healthier appearance of hair.
DermaPlus products contain generous amounts of these active ingredients, which have proved very effective in treating the common ailments of aging. When introduced into the skin and scalp, Tropoelastin creates an increase the amount of elastin contained in those regions. This increased elastin aids the body in preventing wrinkles and in healthier hair follicles, which ultimately results in healthier, thicker hair. The ingredients contained in Keracyte include:
* Matrixyl 3000
* Argireline
* Hyaluronic Acid
* Tocopheryl Acetate
* Provitamin B
* Tropoelastin
* Germaben
* ProliSel
Their skin product is *supposed* to work well..but doing a search didn't bring up many reviews for it. I admit I didn't spend a whole lot of time looking though.
