The health of our hair relies on a fascinating yet often overlooked biological process: the hair growth cycle. When this cycle is disrupted by internal or external factors, it can slow down, leading to reduced hair density. Fortunately, targeted treatments—like our botanical-rich hair serum—can help support growth, reduce shedding, and restore visibly fuller hair. Here's how.
The natural hair growth cycle
Hair follows a three-phase cycle:
Anagen (growth)
This active phase lasts 2 to 8 years and accounts for around 85% of all hair. The follicle is actively producing a healthy hair strand.
Catagen (transition)
A short phase of 2 to 4 weeks where the follicle shrinks and stops growing.
Telogen (rest and shedding)
The follicle enters a resting stage for about 3 months. The hair remains in place but no longer grows, until it falls out, making way for a new cycle to begin.
When the anagen phase is shortened—due to stress, hormonal imbalances, or nutrient deficiencies—hair becomes thinner, more fragile, and sheds faster. The result: an overall reduction in hair density.
Why does hair density decrease?
Several factors can negatively impact the hair cycle:
⚡️Shortening of the anagen (growth) phase
⏳ Lengthening of the telogen (rest) phase
🔥 Scalp inflammation
😖 Oxidative stress in follicular cells
🥦 Nutritional deficiencies (iron, zinc, B vitamins, etc.)
These imbalances create an environment that’s not conducive to strong, dense hair growth.
A serum designed to support hair density
Our hair serum is specially formulated to target the root causes of thinning. Its natural formula features ingredients known for their hydrating, soothing, antioxidant, and revitalizing properties.
Key ingredients & benefits
-
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice: Soothing, healing, and hydrating—aloe vera supports scalp microcirculation, an essential factor in nourishing hair follicles.
-
Turmeric Root Extract (Curcuma Longa): Rich in curcumin, it offers strong anti-inflammatory benefits. It helps reduce scalp irritation that can disrupt the hair cycle.
-
Hydrolyzed Lepidium Meyenii (Maca): This adaptogenic plant helps stimulate follicle vitality and encourage growth.
-
Olive Leaf Extract (Olea Europaea): Packed with antioxidants, it protects scalp cells from free radicals and promotes a healthy environment for regrowth.
-
Glycerin, Guar Gum, Acacia Gum, and Xanthan Gum: These natural agents help retain moisture and form a protective barrier, improving scalp flexibility.
-
Tocopherol (Vitamin E): A powerful antioxidant that protects the lipids in cell membranes and supports follicle health.
Expected results
Thanks to this synergy of plant-based ingredients, the serum prolongs the anagen (growth) phase, reduces premature shedding (telogen phase), soothes local inflammation, strengthens hair anchoring and contributes to visibly improved hair density.
Backed by science
Numerous studies support the effectiveness of botanical extracts in promoting hair growth:
🫚 Curcumin has shown beneficial effects on dermal papilla cells—critical in hair formation.
🌵 Aloe vera improves scalp quality through its hydrating and anti-inflammatory actions.
🌿 Adaptogenic plants like maca have been shown to revitalize hair follicles under oxidative stress.
Usage tips
Apply daily, preferably in the evening for optimal overnight absorption. For visible results, expect to see improvements after 2 to 3 months of consistent use. For best results, a 6-month treatment is recommended.
Hair thinning is a complex, often multifactorial issue. By targeting inflammation, hydration, follicle nourishment, and natural stimulation, our hair serum offers a gentle yet effective way to achieve fuller, healthier, more vibrant hair.
