THE SCIENCE

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE ACTIVE INGREDIENTS IN OUR HAIR PRODUCTS

CAPILIA LONGA

This Plant Stem Cell Technology derived from Turmeric, is anti- inflammatory, moisturising & increases circulation to the scalp.This fantastic ingredient produces an epigenetic reset of the hair bulb, stimulating activity of the dermal papilla cells.This effect keeps the hair follicle in the Anagen Phase for longer, & reduces the Telogen phase of the Hair Growth Cycle. Capilia Longa has been proven to reduce Hair Loss by 89% & increase hair density by 52%

CAFFEINE

Caffeine increases circulation to the scalp which promotes healthy hair follicles. It encourages the hair follicle to produce more ATP energy, which in turn produces more hair cells at a faster rate.

Caffeine also targets the male hormone DHT within the scalp, which is the main cause of Male g Female Pattern Baldness, also known as Androgenic Alopecia.

BIOTIN

Biotin is an important B vitamin that plavs a crucial role in the hair growth process, skin health, & nail health. It also affects the metabolism of oil in the scalp.

Using biotin topically strengthens the hair follicle, allowing the hair to grow longer & helping each strand to reach the end of each hair growth cycle It revitalises the hair & scalp, & improves the appearance of damaged hair

CREATINE

Creatine is a naturally occurring derivative of the amino acids: glycine and arginine, which are found in our muscles.

We get our nutritional supply of creatine from eating meat or taking supplements.

When creatine is applied to the hair & scalp it smooths the hair cuticle to strengthen the bonds, which then protects the other layers of the hair shaft. This helps to prevent breakage.

WHEAT PROTEIN

Wheat protein is derived from wheat germ, such as gluten or glutamine.

When applied topically it can pass through the hair cuticle. It hydrates & strengthens the hair by locking in moisture.

The combination of hydration & strengthening results in the hair becoming more flexible, & less prone to breakage, resulting in longer growing hair

PRO-VITAMIN B5

Pro-vitamin B5 is also known as Panthenol. It penetrates the lower skin layers, is absorbed into the cells, & then transforms into pantothenic acid.

Because Panthenol is absorbed deeplv into the skin & scalp, it has the capability to infuse a huge dose of moisture It is one of the few vitamins that’s able to penetrate the hair enough to reach the cortex (the middle laver of the hair shaft) as well as the scalp.

VITAMINS B3 & B6

Vitamin B3, also known as Niacin, has been shown to reduce inflammatory & dry scalp disorders therefore improving dandruff & itching When applied topically to the hair & scalp it significantly improves the look & feel of the hair as it increases the synthesis of keratin. Vitamin B6 has the ability to regulate sebum production to balance oily scalps, & it has also been shown to enhance natural hair colour by increasing melanin, which is the hair’s natural pigment.

VITAMIN E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant which means it reduces oxidative stress in the scalp. It also increases blood circulation to the scalp & these benefits combined result in an increase in overall hair growth Due to it’s moisturising properties Vitamin E also hydrates & rejuvenates the hair & scalp.

Boosting shine & helping to prevent hair breakage The result of this is smoother, longer growing hair.

ORGANIC VOLUMISING COMPLEX

WHITE NETTLE flower provides Flavonoids, Tannins and Saponosides for scalp invigoration. GINSENG root provides amino acids & B vitamins which fortifies, revitalises and stimulates the scalp.

HONEY LOCUST seed provides Flavonoids, Tannins & Mucilage for volumising action & added hair strength.

AND THE INGREDIENTS WE AVOID

SODIUM LAURETH SULPHATE

also known as SLS, is usually added to products as a ‘de-greaser’ & a lathering agent. This ingredient is an irritan, & is too harsh for the hair, particularly for the more dry, brittle, colour-treated, or damaged hair types It can cause scalp sensitivity, dryness & also (by stripping the natural oils from the scalp) trigger an over production of scalp oil.

Any imbalance, or follicle inflammation can contribute towards hair loss.

MINERAL OILS

Mineral oils leave residue which builds up on the hair & scalp. When left on the hair it weighs down the strands & makes the hair appear greasy.

Oils that leave residue in this way will prevent active ingredients from being able to reach the scalp & hair follicle, making some hair loss treatments less effective. Mineral oil can also be labelled as petroleum, white petroleum, paraffin, liquid paraffin, liquid petrolatum, paraffin wax.

SILICONES

Silicones are added to products to smooth hair frizz & detangle. They form a waterproof coating around the hair cuticle. While silicones are not products with silicones.

Clients experiencing hair loss will have finer tha’ as win veils, we general, averaes any products that leave residue behind, as they could prevent active ingredients being able to reach the scalp & follicle.
