- Botanical extracts:
Burdock Root extract - stimulates microcirculation in the
scalp, improves the nutrition of hair follicles and stimulates hair growth. At the same time it weakens the action of enzymes that
affect hair loss. It helps to rebuild hair structure, facilitates the
regeneration of the skin and shows anti-dandruff effects.
Nettle Leaf and Root extract -is a common ingredient found in hair products to stimulate hair growth
and is believed to be effective for treating both male and female
pattern baldness. The effectiveness of nettle root for hair loss has not been thoroughly
studied. However, research shows that this herb can block production of
the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is mainly responsible for
hair loss.
Vitamins and minerals:
Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5) – number one for hair products. It improves hair texture; helps repair split
ends and restores nourishment to hair damaged by heat and/or chemical
treatments. Panthenol helps moisturize hair and skin and stops both from getting
dehydrated. In addition, because panthenol also spreads evenly on the
surface of the hair strand, it forms a smooth film over hair cuticles
that makes tresses look shinier and
glossier. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps repair and build tissue. When you apply vitamin E to your scalp, it helps reduce inflammation and repair damage to the follicles, and healthy follicles encourage hair growth.
Phytokeratin is a composite product made by blending free amino acids from plants in the same proportions as they are found in the popular human hair amino acid products. Phytokeratin penetrates the hair shaft to bind moisture and improve gloss & restore vitality to the hair. It strengthens and maintains the elasticity of the hair shaft. Ideal for use on dry, damaged hair.
Hydrolyzed Silk Protein helps in moisture retention due to its strong hygroscopic properties (silk is credited with the ability to retain 10,000 times its weight in water), resulting in optimum conditioning and increased strength. It also provides superior conditioning properties, making it ideal for natural-type conditioners, shampoos, and hair repairing systems. Links hair fibers to improve elasticity, resiliency, and restore the moisture balance.
- Essential oils:
The blend of essential oils (Rosemary, Eucalypt and Geranium) stimulates blood flow to the scalp and promotes strong and healthy hair growth. They are also effective for treating dandruff, itchiness and scalp irritation.
A hair mask should be applied to washed and towel-dried hair. Spread
the cream evenly throughout your hair. Massage the
product in from the roots to the tips then comb through your hair with
your fingers. To optimize the mask’s effects, cover your head with a
hot towel. In this case, the mask is in direct
contact with your scalp so it can be absorbed more easily. Leave for 10-20 minutes (or even longer). Rinse well and follow with your usual shampoo.
