Revitalising Anti-Hair-Loss Shampoo

The Revitalising line. It contains probiotics packed with protein, calcium and vitamins D, B2 (riboflavin), B12 and B5, along with prebiotics and yogurt, which bring many benefits for the health of the scalp and the hair fibre: they strengthen the hair follicle and have an anti-ageing effect for more vigorous, younger-looking hair. It also contains hydrolysed keratin, which restructures the hair by conditioning the hair fibre.

Keratin occurs naturally in the components that make up our hair, and it deteriorates through environmental factors and the passage of time. Hydrolysed keratin rebuilds the hair fibre and provides hydration. Its benefits: it strengthens the hair fibre, restores brittle or damaged hair, stimulates improvement in the scalp, stimulates hair growth and allows perfect styling.

Argan oil gives hair strength and flexibility, repairs dry and split ends, removes frizz and extends the life of colour. It is the lead active in this line, together with hydrolysed keratin and coconut yogurt protein.

The bottle carries the For Men reference and the Mountain Breeze scent is aimed at a male audience, but the formula works just the same on any hair. It is recommended for men and women with hair loss caused by medical treatment or illness, and for sensitive scalps.

Because it is sulfate free, and sulfates are the detergents that produce all that foam in conventional shampoos. It cleans with a gentle plant-derived agent: it is completely normal for it to barely foam on the first wash and to foam a little on the second. It cleans just the same, only without being harsh on a scalp that is already sensitive.

Ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS) and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) are abrasive detergents and one of the classic ingredients in almost every shampoo. They are used because they are cheap and effective, but in a short time they wear down the scalp and the hair: in stripping the oil they also destroy the natural lipids the skin produces to defend itself, which makes them irritating. Many problems of dryness, irritation and dandruff come from their continued use.

It is formulated precisely with people experiencing hair loss from medical treatment or illness in mind, and it is suitable for sensitive scalps, being free of sulfates, parabens, harsh salts, dyes and synthetic fragrances. Even so, if you are undergoing treatment, always check with your doctor before adding any product.
