SURFACE--Awaken Therapeutic Thinning Hair and Scalp System
HEALTHY HAIR BEGINS WITH A HEALTH SCALP
It is thought that the blockage of the hair’s sebaceous glands, aging of cells, slowed circulation and the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone) have a strong correlation to the onset and the progression of hair loss and baldness called androgenic alopecia, or male- and female-pattern baldness. This type of hair loss is typically the greatest at the top of the head or around the temples. An enzyme converts the hormone testosterone to DHT. DHT causes the miniaturization of the hair follicle and eventual loss of the hair.
Just as we require essential elements internally to function, so does the largest organ of our body, the skin, of which a portion is our scalp and is responsible for hair growth. Topical application of molecules such as vitamins and enzymes are used throughout the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries to keep skin and hair healthy, inside and out. A natural addition to this list is minerals.
MINERALS ARE CRITICAL TO MAINTAIN OPTIMAL HEALTH.
They are essential constituents to the thousands of biochemical reactions that occur within the cells of our bodies. Minerals help support the immune system and facilitate the production of hormones and enzymes. Since minerals take a part in a myriad of metabolic reactions they can be rapidly consumed, disrupting the delicate balance of these vital nutrients. Our bodies cannot synthesize minerals; therefore they must be acquired through external sources.
It is well-known that insufficient levels of certain minerals can lead to deficiency related syndromes. For example, a deficit in the element iodine can result in thyroid-related skin disease. Inadequate levels of the element zinc can be attributed to skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis. Clearly minerals are as important to our external health as they are to our internal health.
Awaken Therapeutic Treatment and Conditioner are rich in minerals ferments and antioxidants which aid in stabilizing healthy cell turn over and in development of new cells and promoting hair growth (anti-aging).
SHAMPOOING IS THE FIRST STEP IN MAXIMIXING MINERAL BENEFITS
As the cells of the scalp and follicle become ‘lazy’, oils begin to build and sebaceous glands may become blocked. Awaken Therapeutic Shampoo utilizes Palm and Coconut Oil surfactants to deep cleanse the scalp and follicle while gently cleansing the hair. Awaken is sulfate free. To enhance this process Mint, Capsicum and Menthol are used to stimulate the scalp and hair, encouraging a flow of nutrients and antioxidants to the scalp, follicle and hair.
CONDITIONING AND TREATMENT
VEGAN PROTEINS AND AMINO ACIDS STRENGTHEN HAIR
As hair begins to grow it needs immediate strength. We have all seen that ‘soft, downy’ hair that is about ¼ inch long and does not seem to grow. In fact this weak hair does grow but it wears away or breaks faster than it grows. Cationic vegan proteins of Amaranth, Keravis and Soy combine with the amino acid complex of Gylcine, Alanin, Proline, Serine, Threonine, Arginine and Lysine to strengthen new hair as they emerge. This complex closely mirrors hair’s structure encouraging immediate strong growth.
BOTANICAL EXTRACTS REVITALIZE
Saw Palmetto, Camellia, Ginkgo, Hops, Balm Mint, Panex Ginseng, Maranium and Nettle work to nourish, encourage and invigorate growth while helping to deactivate DHT. An enzyme (5-alpha-reductase) converts the hormone testosterone to DHT (dihydrotestosterone). DHT causes the miniaturization of the hair follicle and eventual loss of the hair. It is thought that the higher the level of testosterone, the higher the level of DHT. Although we still don't know exactly how it works, it's believed that Saw Palmetto may help block the enzyme (5-alpha-reductase) from allowing the hormone testosterone from being converted to DHT.
Awaken products can work well for individuals who have experienced hair loss due to chemotherapy in addition to unknown cause. Check our www.surfacehair.com , www.santeboutique.com or call 913-632-9800 to learn more.
