Ingredients

As a vegan alternative to silk peptides, this pioneering ingredient fortifies hair from the root. It delivers a breathable barrier to the hair and scalp - protecting against external aggressors such as pollution, sea or chlorinated water, irritants and bacterial adhesion. Vegan silk peptides improve carbon particle removal up to 83% in one use, improve hair colour protection by 35%, and repair heat damage by 72%. The application of vegan silk peptides yields scientifically-proven results, and fosters a stronger, healthier and more resilient scalp and hair environment, while improving the hair’s smoothness and shine, leaving it silky to the touch.

This deeply penetrating moisturising agent is perfect for dry and flaky scalps. It promotes skin cell regeneration, wound healing and works as a hydrating anti-inflammatory for irritated scalps. Its moisturising properties prevent hair damage and split ends, improve sheen and strengthen hair from the root.

Extracted from the root of the comfrey plant, this active ingredient holds moisturising, soothing, protectant and anti-irritant properties for the hair and scalp. As an emollient and astringent, it accelerates wound healing, while also cleansing and softening the scalp.

addressing hair & scalp health at the root

Hormones

The relationship between hair and hormones starts as we are born and continues through every stage of life. From hair-loss-causing DHT to hair-boosting oestrogen, hormones play one of the most vital roles in our hair and scalp health. The hair growth cycle and the hair follicle structure are directly affected by the hormones in our bloodstream. Fluctuations in sex hormones, stress hormones and thyroid hormones all have various effects on the hair and scalp, and are often the culprits of sudden disruptions in the health of this delicate microbiome. 

Stress

Stress compromises the health of your body in a variety of ways, the retention of your hair being one of them. Exposure to stress hormones over many weeks reduces hair growth as hair follicles remain in an extended telogen (resting) phase, a condition known as Telogen Effluvium, whereby up to 70% of growing hairs can abruptly shift into the resting phase (versus the normal 15% that elicits shedding before a new anagen phase).

Lifestyle

Through a process called oxidative stress, environmental aggressors (such as cigarette smoke, pollutants, UV radiation or even certain products or foods) can damage various cellular structures in the hair follicle. Oxidative stress breaks down cell tissue and causes DNA damage, which can result in inflammation. Research has shown that oxidative stress also contributes to hair loss by impairing the scalp’s ability to support healthy cell renewal, and in turn, healthy hair growth.

Nutrition 

Hair cells are the second fastest-dividing cells in the human body. Each individual has roughly 120,000 hairs on their scalp, all of which require nourishment and fuel to grow and proliferate. Nutritional deficiencies, particularly in iron, zinc, Vitamin D, biotin and Vitamin B12, can impact the hair’s structure, follicle development, immune cell functioning, and ultimately, hair growth. By supporting healthy nutrition, you can support a healthy hair growth cycle.

Ageing

As we age, the body undergoes many changes and fluctuations, with our hair being no exception. Turning grey is just one of the many changes that confront our hair as we age. In fact, hair ageing affects hair colour, hair curvature, hair diameter and the structural properties of the hair fibre. Research suggests that over 52% of women will experience some form of hair loss by the age of 50, and by the age of 60, approximately 80% will undergo changes in their hair density.

HOW TO CARE FOR FINE HAIR

Fine hair is lighter and smaller in diameter than average hair, it is easily weighed down by gravity and heavy product residue. Fine hair requires lightweight and fortifying solutions that deliver bounce and body without weighing it down. The Strengthening Essence-Conditioner supremely moisturises and fortifies fine strands without any worry of flat or heavy hair.

  • FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When can I expect to see results?

Giving your scalp and hair the opportunity to recuperate and deliver strength from within requires well-managed expectations, patience and consistency. The Strengthening Essence-Conditioner restores moisture back into the scalp without weighing hair down - breaking the cycle of starving the scalps and dehydrating the hair. This process can take up to 4 to 6 weeks, in which the scalp and hair are freed from the build-up of synthetic cleansing and conditioning agents, as well as being repaired, strengthened and nourished to foster healthier, stronger hair going forward.

Can I apply this product to my scalp?

Inspired by K-beauty skincare formulations, the Strengthening Essence-Conditioner has a lightweight consistency and is designed to be applied to both the scalp and lengths, unlike traditional conditioners that can leave a waxy residue. You can confidently replenish moisture and nourishment to your scalp without fear of a weighed-down or greasy aftermath.
