Over the last few months many of us have had an opportunity to stay inside and watch our hair grow gradually more unruly. This can be a frustrating feeling because we always want to look our best. But, if we try to find the opportunity inside of the challenge, we think that you’ll see that now is a great time to work on regrowth and strengthening of those precious follicles that have so much power over our self image.

Outside of our genetic make-up there are many reasons why our hair thins or greys at one time or another. Some of these concerns can present themselves as localized problems, or more generalized. The good news is that hair thinning or greying from stress, changes in diet, illness or a shift in hormones is usually reversible.

Now is the time to apply active ingredients and nutrients to the areas most in need of special attention. Skin Actives is proud to offer two Advanced Ageless products to address concerns regarding the hair on your scalp, brows and lashes: Hair Serum and Brow and Lash Serum with ROS* BioNet™ and Apocynin.

A Deeper Look Into Hair Serums

Like all Skin Actives Scientific products, our Advanced Ageless hair serums have been formulated to maximize the amount of actives that your body can absorb and put to use, with the consequence of harsh chemicals or pharmaceutical side-effects.

Both these great products include:

• Keratinocyte growth factor(KGF) - A naturally occurring protein that sends a signal to living, hair growing cells to begin the biological process of growing hair.
• ROS* BioNet™ - Our exclusive melange of proteins attack Reactive Oxygen Species, the hostile free radicals floating in our environment that cause us to age.
• Apocynin - This well researched active ingredient promotes the production of Collagen 17, a protein that decreases theoxidative stress that leads to hair loss and greying.
• Methionine - Methionine is an amino acid, one of the building blocks of our bodies, that builds proteins and produces molecules.
• Along with these spotlight ingredients our hair serums contain 22 necessary amino acids and 20 essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs to grow long, strong hair, including: glutamine, proline, biotin, and calcium chloride to name just a few. We also include botanical extracts known to promote hair formation and caffeine to increase blood flow to your follicles.

Who Can Benefit From Hair Growth Products?

There are a lot of reasons to use Skin Actives Advanced Ageless Hair Serum and Brow and Lash Serum.

• Thinning hair – the most obvious is that our hair serums work well for people that have thinning hair, brows and lashes.
• Fine Hair - You can also use our hair serums to increase the thickness and volume of your hair.
• Weak, Damaged Hair - Use it to recover from damage that has been caused by harsh treatments such as coloring and dying. Your scalp gets punished by such treatments as well, and our hair serums have all the actives necessary to calm and rejuvenate your skin, while making your hair stronger and more resilient. 
• In Between Hair Styles - Additionally, if you are trying to grow your hair out, our hair serums will help speed it along.
• Beard Growth - Maybe you know someone who is thinking about a winter beard (full winter beards are grown starting in the summer). If so, encourage them to apply Hair Serum or our Beard Growth Serum to their face in the beard region. Not only will the beard come in faster, thicker and stronger, the serum will address the nagging itch that makes early beard growth so challenging!

How To Apply Skin Actives Hair Serum

Now, what’s critical is application. In order for our hair serums to work, they have to make contact with the skin. If your hair is thin already, this might not be a problem. But if you are applying to a full head of hair for additional thickness and volume, this could seem daunting.

Try these steps: 

1. lace a little bit of hair serum on your fingertips at night as you are preparing for bed. Reach up under your hair and rub it into the scalp where you are looking for additional growth. 
2. Repeat this process across all such areas. This need not be time consuming! Remember, you are only adding a little bit to your scalp.
3. Leave it in overnight and let it do its work. In the morning you need not wash your hair, you can brush out any excess. 
4. Be patient! As good as our actives are, they are not miracle cures or drugs. You will see results but give yourself at least 30 days before they are measurable.
