Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF) for Hair Restoration

Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF) for Hair Restoration

Posted by Savannah Katz on Mar 19th 2024

At Skin Actives, we believe that haircare is just as important as skincare. One crucial element often overlooked within haircare products is the potential that Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF) has in restoring hair health and growth. Dr. Hannah Sivak, the founder of Skin Actives, sheds light on the significance of KGF and its underutilization in the hair care industry. Let's delve into why KGF is a game-changer and how Skin Actives is paving the way to show consumers this groundbreaking, revolutionary ingredient.

The Missing Ingredient for Long, Luxurious Hair: KGF

There is a glaring gap in the hair care market - the neglect of KGF, despite its pivotal role in promoting hair growth and restoration. Whether it's addressing hair loss, thinning, or restoring eyebrows and eyelashes, KGF stands as a potent tool waiting to be embraced. In a world obsessed with instant results and gratification, Skin Actives urges a shift in perspective towards long-term hair health. The damage inflicted by common hair styling practices, such as heat tools and bleaching, may not show immediately but poses a significant threat to hair follicles in the long run. Investing in preventive measures today can spare individuals from future hair issues. 

Overcoming Industry Hurdles

Even with KGF honing immense potential, its use faces several challenges within the hair care industry. These challenges include formulation care, cost considerations, and consumer perception. However, Skin Actives remains undeterred, prioritizing efficacy over convenience and cost. 

Top Tips for Hair Restoration

  • Choose Skin Actives Products: Skin Actives prioritizes research-backed formulations, ensuring optimal concentrations of KGF for maximum efficacy.
  • Direct Application: Apply KGF formulations directly to the scalp, targeting the hair follicles where the magic happens.
  • Extended Application Time: Allow the product to work its wonders by leaving it on the scalp for an extended period, maximizing absorption and effectiveness.
  • Consistency: Incorporate KGF into your hair care routine regularly, preferably after washing your hair for enhanced absorption.
  • Avoid Oxidants: Steer clear of hair-damaging oxidants found in bleaching and coloring agents, which can compromise scalp health and hinder KGF's effectiveness.
  • Minimize Heat Exposure: Opt for air-drying over heat styling to reduce stress on the scalp and promote overall hair health.
  • Avoid Tension: Embrace hairstyles that minimize tension on the hair follicles, preserving their vitality and promoting healthy growth.
