The ALoe Rid Shampoo is a old style scham

ALOE RID SEEKERS YOU ARE BEING PLAYED 

 SCAMPOO 

 

 

DOES NOT MATTER IS NEXXUS OR A FAKE

 IT IS ONLY COMMERCIAL SHAMPOO

ALOE RID IS NOT FOR HAIR FOLLICLE DRUG TEST

If you are seeking the original Aloe Rid shampoo and have fallen into the trap of an old marketing scheme, we are here to expose it and save you both money and the risk of failing a drug test.

Aloe Rid was originally produced and sold by NEXXUS but was discontinued in 2005. Any other products claiming to be Aloe Rid are nothing more than knock-offs, and it is irrelevant because the truth is that Aloe Rid was simply a commercial shampoo with absolutely no ability to fulfill any of the exaggerated claims made about it. If you can provide a single scientific study supporting those claims, I will gladly purchase it for you.

Do not be fooled by the marketing ploy surrounding propylene glycol. If you are falling for it, you are being played for a fool. Propylene glycol, also known as PG, is nothing more than a wetting agent commonly used in various products, ranging from beauty products to pet food. It has no effect on drug metabolites whatsoever. Once again, I reiterate that Aloe Rid was just a commercial shampoo and is no different from brands like Suave.

If you want to know the complete history of the Aloe Rid scam and the shampoo peddlers involved, I recommend reading the following information. There are two main sellers who perpetuate this lie and deceive unsuspecting customers. The majority of people who purchase it do so out of panic because it is heavily marketed everywhere. However, this does not indicate its legitimacy; it simply means that these sellers profit from deceiving you. Avoid panic buying, as it often leads to further research, making you want a genuine product with proven results based on customer lab tests, such as Hair Razor. Unfortunately, if you have already purchased the scam shampoo, you may find yourself stuck with it as they are unlikely to offer a refund.

ANY MAGIC SHAMPOO THAT REQUIRES YOU TO USE A PILE OF RANDOM HOUSEHOLD ITEMS TO MAKE IT DO SOMETHING IS A OBVIOUS RIP OFF 

 

 ALL " MC METHODS " ARE ONLY THEIR TO SELL SCAMPOO

Look I’ll be honest, the only thing that’ll really clean your hair is something that will alter the hair entirely, by bleaching it, lol this is just some regular perm smelling shampoo, way overpriced. I didn’t even take the chance, just tell your employer before the test that you found another job, and try to reapply later or just flat out stay clean for 3 months, unless you got plenty of time to bleach your hair and then die it back to normal, that still might not be enough. I got it out of fear and later accepted the reality. Didn’t even try to defy science.

Didn’t even pass my drug test and I did all the extra steps with tide, baking soda, clean n clear and I still failed the hair test for thc. I was so mad! Than the product comes with a label that says no returns ..probably because it doesn’t even work! And the cost of it just to need extra things to use with it is ridiculous. It dried out my hair like crazy and the smell sucks. Worst product ever.

I did the "method" with this shampoo , washed and soaked with vinegar, acne cleanse, aloe rid, tide, at least 15 times even added peroxide soak and the addition cleansing shampoo/ purifier/ and conditioner and I failed my hair test. Luckily i paid for my own hair test before taking a employment test because if I had not , my career would had ended and all college would have been useless bc this generic aloe rid is exactly Generic and does not work what so ever. I highly advise Not buying this product and just cut your hair short and allow it to grow to test length before testing.

 ANY LEGIT DETOX TREATMENT REQUIRES A REAL PRODUCT AND A PERSONAL CONSULTATION TO ASSES YOUR USE AND NEEDS.

 

Exposing the Propylene Glycol / Aloe Rid shampoo myth

 

                                  

The HISTORY of the  2 part product that you never knew of and how it was

used to create the propylene glycol Aloe Rid myth 

(And how others are still selling commercial aloe shampoo )  

                                                           

 

This is a educational informative, historical article / opinion piece. 

Protected by Fair Use 

 

 

 

 Well its been 15 years since NEXXUS Aloe rid  went off the market.  For most of you, all you know is the myth. You know very little of the actual history of the product and its false marketing as a  super special shampoo to pass a drug test.  

 

Once apon a time their was a 2 part product  called Aloe rid, a shampoo and a chelation treatment gel put out by a nexxus to remove hair product build up as a pre treatment to chemical treating hair such as coloring. First you washed with the aloe rid  clarifying shampoo which contained % 0.5 EDTA   and sodium thiosulfate (for treating swimmers green )  then you used the green gel Treatment which contained a slightly higher amount of %1 EDTA which is known as a chelator for removing minerals (not drugs). WANT TO SEE FULL LIST OF ALOE RID SHAMPOO INGREDIENTS AND WHAT THEY DO ?

 This was a COMMERCIAL product and has no super special powers despite lies some websites that claimed " they stopped making nexxus aloe rid because it would destroy your hair " again it was a commercial product sold in supercuts,   it was no different than suave. They both were emerald green and  BOTH had the same active ingredient, EDTA . All hair products of this nature have it even suave clarifer.

 

 How a commercial shampoo product got known for being used for drug detox

 The first people sell Aloe Rid shampoo and treatment and sell it as a hair detox around 2000 was a product called  afterburner and then test clear known today as  Toxin rid began pushing the propalyne misinformation to this day  .  Others starting to learn what they were re bottling and talking about it and the myth was born.  A certain company that sold small tubes of aloe rid learn nexxu swas ending production of aloe rid in 2005 . At the time they changed the formula which is of NO MATTER other than an excuse for the con artist to make a false claim as a marketing scheme claiming the new formula was no good and you had to use the old formula which was the only one in small tubes that the con artist sold .  

Being the Aloe Rid propylene glycol myth promoters couldn't just formulate a legit product and were not willing to let it go they NEEDED to continue the aloe rid myth. So they demonized the newer small bottles claiming the  "Old formula had high propylene glycol  levels" story  and "old bottles had a special bar code".  

 

Propylene glycol is just a wetting agent used in not just every commercial shampoo but its in literally everything. As i repeatedly mention Propylene glycol is NOT a active ingredient as the pot head forum know nothings regurgitate, the active ingredient is EDTA.

  

 

This is how the scam got started, a lie that propalyne glycol a ingredient that was no longer in the aloe rid product was from mars and only if you had the old formula  that this con artist had in stock could you pass a hair test.

 well eventually the conartist ran out of the tubes he sold so he would buy gallon bottles from remaining stock as gallons were no longer made in 2006. he would fill bottles and sell them for ten times price.

Possibly the only time real aloe rid was used in few years after nexxus ended production

    

 

says old style "aloe rid"  and "pumped from gallons"  with a link to the video mentioned .

 

 Remember  This mass of product was in gallons so they claimed they had to PUMP IT FROM GALLONS to fill plain bottles. The pumped from gallons was born . They even had a video showing them supposedly pumping aloe rid shampoo from gallons, only it was a half gallon jug of the TREATMENT not the shampoo !!  They even put the video link on the bottle encase anyone questioned the reason the website posted an image of nexxus aloe rid only to  received a plain bottle with plain label ( aside from this small print mention it would be considered a bait and switch scheme ) .This is where the pumped from gallons tag line that is still used today by them comes from. 

 They still show photos of the CLARIFYING TREATMENT GEL (not a shampoo) claiming they pump from gallons of a shampoo that has been out of production for 15 years 

 

 

 but then the gallons ran out around 2009.

Not to let a small thing like honesty get in the way the con artist started filling bottles with god knows what, It was  not even the same color as aloe rid and now the brazen con artist put a label on it using the aloe rid trademark . this is called counterfeiting in most courts.

 

 

 

  Next they devised a scheme claiming they had obtained a boat load of the original product,  claiming they found 55 gallon barrels of the special barcode stuff.( do BARRELS  have bar codes? )  they also later claimed to had obtained  5 gallon containers neither have i ever seen  .

 

The excuse for this is still online claiming . " The reason for this, is that we bought in bulk for our supply.  We have large 1 and 5 gallon containers  of the Nexxus Aloe Rid which we use to to pump out the 5 ounces of shampoo into our own generic bottles.  "
Aloe Rid does not have a guarantee........  What does that mean?  It means that the Old Style  Aloe Rid (which is the only version we carry, ( notice read BETWEEN the lines they didnt say we carry NEXXUS )  although we do send you the shampoo in generic 5 ounce bottles, so please be aware of this) is not covered by the manufacturer as it is out of production with Nexxus.... it's not covered under guarantee of refund for failure. "

 IS IT ME OR DOES IT SEEM THEY PURPOSELY CONFUSE THE CUSTOMERS 

seems like allot of shenanigans to sell a 5 oz bottle of  commercial shampoo for over 200.00

 What do you call it when a website post a image like this

 

Show you a video like this 

 

 But then sends you this ?.... what would you call that? 

 

 

 

 

Bait and Switch

Some courts have likened initial interest confusion to “bait and switch” tactics, long condemned as a deceptive advertising practice. See Dorr-Oliver, Inc. v. Fluid-Quip, Inc., 94 F.3d 376, 382 (7th Cir. 1996). But the classic bait and switch tactic differs somewhat from trademark infringement.

In the classic initial interest confusion case, the defendant adopts a mark that is similar to plaintiff’s mark. The defendant’s similar mark is used to attract potential customers. Although eventually the customers realize with whom they are dealing, the use of the mark to create an initial attraction to the defendant through the mistaken belief that the defendant is in fact the plaintiff constitutes trademark infringement.

certainly doesnt look like color nexxus aloe rid            but it did have the Aloe Rid trademark font which some courts would call counterfeiting

 

 trademark infringement

ILL JUST LEAVE THIS HERE FOR YOU TO READ  

15 U.S. Code § 1114.

I(1) Any person who shall, without the consent of the registrant—

(a)

use in commerce any reproduction, counterfeit, copy, or colorable imitation of a registered mark in connection with the sale, offering for sale, distribution, or advertising of any goods or services on or in connection with which such use is likely to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive; or

(b)

reproduce, counterfeit, copy, or colorably imitate a registered mark and apply such reproduction, counterfeit, copy, or colorable imitation to labels, signs, prints, packages, wrappers, receptacles or advertisements intended to be used in commerce upon or in connection with the sale, offering for sale, distribution, or advertising of goods or services on or in connection with which such use is likely to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive,

shall be liable in a civil action by the registrant for the remedies hereinafter provided. Under subsection (b) hereof, the registrant shall not be entitled to recover profits or damages unless the acts have been committed with knowledge that such imitation is intended to be used to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive.

 

Finally sometime in 2018 we noticed they suddenly changed their name and removed all aloe rid pictures and the pumped from gallons video disappeared....anyone want to guess why they would suddenly drop what some may call a bait n switch trademark infringement counterfeit  scheme ?

 At the same time they suddenly changed their name from aloe rid they used a modified version of a different product name of theirs that matched a URL we  obtained in anticipation of  new products. At first I got triggered as i though they were doing me as they did nexxus. I now know they changed label from aloe rid to T**** just weeks before so its seems to be coincidence both using aloe rid key word.  

 

 As of Today

So the  new label  no longer carries the trademark infringing ALOE RID mark. But a program of years of confusion  alluding to it as synonymous with original formula nexxus aloe rid and its propylene glycol myth continues. 

 many people seeking nexxus aloe rid due to ignorance and being sold on the aloe rid / propalyne glycol MYTH  that it works for destroying drugs in hair could be confused and purchase NON  NEXXUS Aloe Rid and may even feel cheated wanting a refund.

  This would be the fault of the seller marketing a lie ( ITS CALLED CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE )  / promoter of the confusion not the one who is exposing it, especially when a product still conducts a purposeful wordage like ...........  " pumped from gallons"  and "old style ".

 old style WHAT ?  pumped from gallons of  WHAT ?     go ahead and ask them . 

 new label using a tag line "old style " ( not original formula and their is no "new style" )   and " pumped from gallons " ?  alluding to  it was pumped from gallons of NEXXUS aloe rid which most could call  deceptive trade practices . 

 

 MACUJO WHO USES THE TIRED OLD PROPLYNE GLYCOL MYTH   

promoting the special barcode nonsense

AGAIN, Propylene Glycol IS NOT A ACTIVE INGREDIENT,( its also at bottom of list because its very weak ) EDTA is the active ingredient and its in all commercial clarifying shampoos.

 

 

 Propylene Glycol is a wetting agent only.  Both EDTA and propylene glycol are in many commercial shampoos. Their IS NO provable effect or difference in these or say SUAVE clarifying shampoo for 5.00. other than .25 worth of PG

 As for PG being so "special " you can get a whole bottle of Propylene glycol from a vap shop supply store for a few bucks.  So dump some PG in a big ass bottle of suave and you have same clarifyer (15 x's of it) with propylene glycol for 10.00 bucks if you actually believed in the PG nonsense.

 

All "METHODS"  are used to sell Schampoos 

These aloe rid and the knockoff shampoos that are sold in METHOD promotions which exist solely to sell shcampoo that admittedly do NOTHING. As you need to use another 100.00 worth of household items to TRY and create any reduction makes these  an even bigger deception than this propylene glycol nonsense but that's for another article  . 

Jerry G type DIY Method FAIL Due to damaged hair

  

This is how you fail from Jerry g  DIY "method " 

 

 So for now im just posting some user comments regarding jerry g method which is basically a macujo with bleaching .  

The main thing for you to understand is these methods are of random items, random applications better refereed to as GUESSING . I think the idea is just apply whatever until you cant stand the pain or hair all falls out.    Very scientific right ?

Understand the majority of folks who claim any method "worked" is due to low use and over application of hair destructing agents .  Only Hair Razor conducts a consultation to ascertain your treatment level need so their is no guessing involved .

 

 

during a consultation person was stating  

Cocaine 1gram almost daily everyday for past several months

I Bleached and dye at least 5x in past 2 weeks with MM method everyday for past 4 days

initially told them no point in doing a consultation as your going to fail due to hair damage  and i was correct

SENT  11-30-20
Well my test results came back...

The sample submitted could not be tested due to severe cosmetic damage😁 I'm pretty sure that was from bleaching alone as I had only done the other method 2 maybe 3x in the days leading up to the test. The day before and day of test I also used stat detox shampoo and ultra clean. I bleached my hair at least 5 or 6x in 2 wks and dyed it 3x

 

 Typically the collector knows by look feel color you did this so its notated on the form and lab simply does a methlyne blue stain and thy can SEE how damaged it is and they simply fail you or rather tell you its too damaged to test 

 Now for all the cost they could have just gotten consultation, performed needed Hair Razor treatments base don their use and been done. These are the crazy lengths people go to to try and beat cocaine and even if they had tested it it would still be their .

 

 

Taken from a consultation about result from a "method"  Trying to treat meth

ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO  PRIOR TO TAKING   THE HAIR TEST  I WENT TO A FRIEND WHO OWNS A SALON AND HE BLEACHED MY HAIR THEN DID TWO MALIBU TREATMENTS THEN DYED IT BACK THE NIGHT BEFORE THE TEST.

THE DAY OF THE TEST I SOAKED IN VINEGAR FOR 15 MIN THEN ADDED THE PINK ACNE 2% FACE WASH AFTER 15 MIN AND LEFT THAT IN TOGETHER FOR ANOTHER 15 MIN THEN WASHED IT OUT WITH TIDE + TOOTHPASTE + T GEL (coal tar shampoo).  

I did this 4 times then dyed again with just for men hair dye. Put in BED HEAD leave in conditioner and drove an hour to the collection lab. They cut it at the front side and back.  

My result for all this   method Nonsense ?      FAILED with 1454pg levels ! ​​

And this is for meth which is the easiest for Hair Razor Detox to break down at only 1 treatment per gram  literally 40.00 treatment and DONE

Macujo Method Failed (Hair Test)

Just informing yall I was an all day everyday weed smoker. I smoked / vaped THC carts and smoked bowls / blunts every few days as well. I learned my job was going to hair drug test so I quit smoking and ordered the Aloe Rid from the official Macujo method website. I used nearly the entire bottle over the course of a month. I had a tad bit left - My hair was cut more than half way (from about 2.5inches to a half inch) the day I learned of the upcoming test to rid myself of as much unnecessary polluted hair as possible. I then washed it and bleached it several times each week. By the time I took the test, my hair was way light[er] and felt like straw. A week and a half passed after my sample was taken and I felt sure things had gone my way. 10 days after the sample was taken I received a call from the lab giving me notice that they detected Marijuana. I was sure I was going to pass after everything I put my hair through. I'm not here to say you can't possibly pass a hair test by essentially killing your hair using the Macujo method, but I want to make sure my results are shared. I regret ever spending $200 on a shampoo and Zydot that didn't help me land a very good job (60k/yr starting). I was so sure I had taken the right measures that I went to CDL truck driving training school and put myself on the line for over $6,000 if that shows you how serious i was about passing.

Conclusion: If you can, just stay clean, cut your hair often, and wait until you have completely clean hair before taking a hair test if you can. If its freedom or jail (like a probation hair test), by all means, do whatever you can... I guess.. but you might wish later you had saved that money for your commissary.. But if it is for a job or something like that, don't waste your time money and hope on products to do what only time will really do for you. Had I just been patient and waited another month, and cut my hair a second time (I didn't to prevent it being too short), I would probably be sitting pretty right now. If it means anything, being clean isn't all that bad. I smoked daily since age 18 (23 now), and regularly since 15. Plus a boatload of other drugs im not proud of. Ive always felt sobriety is misery. And it is kind of, but always being fired from random drug tests and having to jump thru hoops to pass pre employment urine tests was pretty miserable (and sad) looking back. I'm staying clean here on out personally. I never again want to lose such an amazing opportunity because of an expensive hobby, if you will. If you have one coming up, best of luck. I truly wish better results for you. But if you can, just get clean, stay clean, and pass it. If you wanna go back to drugs after, do you. You might find its a little better to ride the sober train for a bit longer. Who knows. Take care all.

6 months later
I still have a spot on my head the size of a nickel that won't grow hair and has a weird never-ending scab. Sometimes I wonder if it isn't skin cancer lol But for real, I highly advise AGAINST the methods like I used. It isn't worth the potential physical consequences.

 

Just a sample of what we see every day  failing for damaged hair due to panic bleaching and playing with TIDE AND ZIT WASH  to make up for some BS ALOE RID scampoo
