Stress, diet, even the change of season — all this affects the condition of the hair. In insufficiently comfortable conditions, they not only fade and become brittle, but also fall out faster — and new ones “fall asleep” while still in the hair follicle and stop growing. Special tools — activators — help to cope with hair loss and stimulate their growth. What are they and how do they work?
Types of hair growth products in pharmacies and stores
A magical elixir that will turn any girl into Rapunzel or save a man from baldness has not yet been invented. Such transformations are performed in beauty salons with the help of hair extensions or in the surgical room by hair transplantation. However, there are remedies for hair growth at home that do not require such sacrifices. And the effect of some is visible after several uses.
What are effective hair growth products?
- Shampoos.
- Masks.
- emulsions.
- Serums.
- Balms, etc.
Everything that can be applied to the hair — everything can contain one special component or a whole complex. There are also folk remedies that seem to help hair grow faster and stronger — the same castor oil.
It is interesting!
There is not a single clinical study that would confirm the effect of castor oil on hair. But there is a case described by the doctors of Karur Government Medical College and Hospital (India): a girl put a mixture of two oils on her head — castor and coconut, and this cocktail turned her head into a «crow’s nest» and glued her hair so tightly that she had to turn to clinic for help.
There are also cases of visiting doctors after applying homemade masks for hair growth, the recipe of which included hot red pepper. Using this remedy at home is quite risky, because if you use it ineptly, you are guaranteed to get a scalp burn.
Hair growth products that are applied to the scalp for a long time work best — not like shampoo or balm. And the richest composition, which not only stimulates growth, but also nourishes the hair and scalp, is in masks. During the holding of the mask, the spectrum of useful substances has time to penetrate deeply into the hair structure and begin to act. And, what is especially important: the action of the mask does not end after it is washed off.
Fact!
Masks-activators of hair growth should penetrate not only into the hair, but also to the bulb, and act in a complex way. Therefore, they are kept on the head for 15 minutes, and the procedures are carried out in courses.
How hair growth activators work: composition and effective components
The purpose of the activators is to help the hair get a stimulus for growth and give them nutrition so that intensive growth does not deplete the bulb. To stimulate growth, active ingredients are needed that accelerate intracellular metabolism, cellular respiration and promote the transfer of hair follicles from the dormant phase to the growth phase.
Fact!
There are two types of hair loss — alopecia, caused by various pathologies, and temporary growth arrest, in which the follicles are not active enough. Pathological alopecia is treated by a trichologist: he understands the causes and prescribes drugs. He can also prescribe vitamins and masks for hair growth as additional support for general therapy.
Masks stimulate hair growth in many ways:
- Rapidly expanding blood vessels, which enhances blood supply;
- Causing local irritation and mild stress to also increase blood circulation and «pull» more nutrients;
- Nourishing hair and skin;
- Causing a short-term lack of oxygen in the hair follicles to awaken dormant cells.
The best option is a mask for hair growth, which simultaneously stimulates and nourishes, moisturizes the skin and cares for the hair. For example, the “Hair Growth Activator” compress mask from the “Special Series” from the Russian Cosmetics manufacturer contains a special SmalterolHot agent made from Mexican vanilla and red pepper esters. Unlike the usual action of the hot component of red pepper — capsaicin — SmalterolHot does not cause scalp irritation.
Fact!
Japanese scientists from Nagoya City University proved that capsaicin from red hot pepper increases the production of insulin-like growth factor I, which promotes pilosis not only in seasonal and stress hair loss, but also in alopecia.
Apply hot pepper on the scalp with caution: it can cause local irritation. However, this is not the case with the Hair Growth Activator: Mexican vanilla makes sure that the skin and hair are comfortable.
In addition, the mask contains ginger root extract, known for its aseptic and anti-inflammatory effects (Nature Reviews Rheumatology). And coconut extract not only soothes the skin, but also provides deep hydration.
This composition helps to awaken dormant hair follicles, and hair grows not only faster and thicker, but also healthier due to the complex of active ingredients.
Fact!
The effect of the Hair Growth Activator is noticeable after 5-6 applications, the recommended course for both women and men is 2-3 months.
How to choose and use masks for hair growth?
In order for products for hair growth and density to bring maximum benefit and minimum harm, you need to choose them according to your type and apply and rinse correctly. What is important to consider?
- Manufacturer trust: well-known brands do not use potentially harmful substances in their products.
- The absence of possible allergic reactions: homemade masks with natural remedies in poorly controlled volumes often “sin” with this. However, any person can have an individual reaction: check the composition on the skin of the elbow bend before the first application. If after half an hour there is no redness on the spot, the mask can be applied to the head.
- Scalp type: alcohol infusions, pepper or mustard powder without additional moisturizing ingredients dry out the skin.
- Exposure time: you need to keep the masks on your head exactly as long as the manufacturer recommends. Longer doesn’t mean better!
- Be sure to thoroughly rinse off the mask by rinsing your hair with plenty of warm water without shampoo.
Choose well-balanced professional growth activators created by experts and impress those around you with thick and shiny hair!
