Add to FavoritesThe person in charge of HeadOn's advertising should be given a migraine and then forced to watch that commercial over and over again while applying the product. The company that produces HeadOn is just like the rest of the pharmaceutical companies out there; they only care about profit. The fact that they've come up with a migraine inducing commercial proves that. I mean come on, that advert is horrid. The TV is immediately muted when I've got the button as soon as I hear that first word coming from the speakers.
For kicks I decided I'd use my free sample' coupon about a week ago. I figured that a free trial would be the best way to find out whether the company was legit or not. I must admit I was hopeful since it would give me another option for headache relief than taking Ibuprofen like it's candy. To my bitter disappointment, the stuff had absolutely no effect on the mildest headache I had. It was one of those tiny ones that is just super annoying. I applied HeadOn and to my complete amazement absolutely nothing happened. I waited and re-applied it, still nothing.
To further test my theory of the product's worthlessness, I got permission from my boss to test it on her seven year old daughter who occasionally gets mild headaches. I bet you know what's coming...absolutely nothing happened. Now if this was an average seven year old who told tall tales I'd have wondered, however she isn't the average seven year old. She's of the fluorescent white variety who turns Day-Glo pink when she is thinking about telling the smallest of fibs. So when she told me her head still hurt after a repeat application, twenty minutes after the first, without turning magenta I believed her.
In theory, HeadOn sounds like the miracle headache treatment we've all been waiting for. Unfortunately, the claims made by the company only further their profit margin. They've failed to generate results which goes to show that you can't believe everything you see on TV. Whether an advert is catchy, annoying or just plain idiotic, it should be taken with a handful of salt and some serious investigation before making a decision to buy their product.

Relief
Like everyone else, I was annoyed at those HeadOn commercials until the gentleman speaking for the product said it was amazing and even then I still wasn't sold. I will tell you I am not one who takes the word of an advertisement but while looking for something else I stumbled across HeadOn, so I thought I would give it a try.Let me tell you it works, no more trying to swallow headache medication which sometimes gets stuck in your throat, all you do is rub HeadOn across your forehead and within a few minutes you start to feel relief.The trick is to apply it at the first sighs of a headache and I am a migraine suffer and as soon as I feel a migraine begin I apply HeadOn.The product starts out cold but soon turns to warm as it slowly takes the pain away. For those who suffer stronger migraines this product may not the answer you're looking for but if you're like me and some of your migraines are "dull", and I'm sure there are those who are thinking there is no such thing as a dull migraine, but for me there are, then this is the product for you.I have also found that applying HeadOn to the temples quickly deadens the pain and helps me get on with my day.It's small enough and easy to carry, just throw it in your purse or carry it in your pocket and remember you don't need water, just apply.If you cannot take headache medication because it upsets your stomach this product may be for you and because this is a homeopathic product may be the reason there are some out there that think that it's all hype.If you already believe in homeopathic products as I do then try HeadOn and see if it works for you and for those who don't think it works my advise is try it you might like it.
