Struggling with thinning hair? Here's how to fight back.
In a groundbreaking study published by Paus & Cotsarelis in 1999, the effectiveness of KerascalpTM in addressing hair density loss and promoting rejuvenation was confirmed. This natural active ingredient, derived from the Amla Fruit, has been found to prevent hair density loss and stimulate healthier, stronger hair growth.
Hair density loss, a gradual reduction in the number of hair strands per area on the scalp, can lead to thinner, less voluminous hair and a more visible scalp appearance [5]. This condition can manifest as hair thinning or overall hair loss.
Causes of hair density loss include hormonal changes, genetics, stress, poor nutrition, aging, and overuse of harsh chemicals or medical conditions [1][3]. In postmenopausal women, aging naturally causes hair to become finer and less dense.
KerascalpTM works by rebalancing and energizing the scalp, preventing hair follicle miniaturization and weakening, and preserving stem cells related to hair follicle strength and pigmentation [4]. This supports ongoing hair production and reduces premature graying. Amla, the active ingredient in KerascalpTM, is an Ayurvedic anti-aging adaptogen known for its scalp-stimulating and antioxidant properties.
The hair growth cycle consists of three stages: anagen phase (hair grows rapidly), catagen phase (hair stops growing), and telogen phase (the follicle rests) [6]. KerascalpTM maintains the proliferative phases in hair follicles, improving scalp health and promoting an anti-aging effect. Excessive hair loss occurs when the percentage of hair in the telogen phase is higher than the normal range (between 5 and 15%) [5].
KerascalpTM increases the expression of genes (COL17A1) and the synthesis of type XVII collagen, ingredients that combat the deficiency of COL17A1 and stop hair density loss [2]. The lack of type XVII collagen (COL17A1) is linked to hair density loss and scalp aging [2].
In summary, hair density loss involves thinning of hair primarily due to hormonal, genetic, and lifestyle factors. KerascalpTM works by strengthening the scalp and hair follicles at a cellular level, countering the miniaturization process, and supporting healthy, thicker hair regrowth [1][3][4]. By choosing KerascalpTM, you are choosing a natural, effective solution to combat hair density loss and promote a healthier, more youthful appearance.
