Niacinamide
Niacinamide is a water soluble-form of vitamin B3 that has many benefits suited to any and all skin and hair types. Niacinamide is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredient. It can help brighten and refresh skin and hair by helping to retain moisture.
It contains Niacinamide which is known for skincare:
• Regulating oil
• Refreshing scalp
• Building proteins plus has Vitamin B3.
• Immunity.
• Lipid barrier.
• Minimizes redness and blotchiness.
• Minimizes pore appearance.
•Protects against sun damage.
• Treats hyperpigmentation.
• Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles
• Protects against oxidative stress.
• Treats acne.
Panthenol
Alcohol form of the B vitamin pantothenic acid. Panthenol is used in skincare products as a humectant because of its ability to attract and hold moisture.
Sometimes called pro-vitamin B5, panthenol mixes readily with many different types of ingredients, making it a versatile ingredient to be used in formulas because it improves the look and feel of skin.
Caffeine
Caffeine is a stimulant: a bitter, white crystalline organic water soluble compound, a methylxanthine alkaloid.
Research has revealed that caffeine is an effective suppressant of androgenetic alopecia (AGA), commonly known as male pattern baldness.
In one in-vitro study, scalp biopsy samples from patients suffering from AGA were cultivated with different concentrations of testosterone and/or caffeine for a period of 120-192 hours.
Thoughts
I’ve enjoyed being able to use this as although I haven’t had noticeable thickness I have noticed my hair feels better (softer, manageable condition, healthier) as well as being cooling on the scalp and ingredients encouraging for a healthy scalp too which I love!
As you guys may know I suffer from alopecia so have thin hair and can’t put a lot of product on so using this has been great. I recommend for those who don’t have thick hair and need lightweight product – with all the ingredients it’s very encouraging for new hair growth.
The bottle is a great design, easy instructions and easy to open.
Cycles of Hair Growth
“The condition of your hair, as well as your hair length, is determined by the health of your follicles and your hair growth cycle.
Each hair follicle contains a population of progenitor cells, capable of assembling hair shaft tissue, to ultimately support hair growth. During the initiation phase of hair growth, the cells begin to manufacture a new hair shaft, which continues to grow throughout the elongation phase of the hair cycle.
After a predetermined period of hair growth–which can range from days to years, depending on the type of hair follicle–the hair remains static within the follicle, then eventually falls out. Defects in the initiation, elongation or shedding phase of hair growth can all lead to hair disorders.”
Paragraph from LiveStrong
“Hair follows a specific growth cycle with three distinct and concurrent phases: anagen, catagen, and telogen. Each phase has specific characteristics that determine the length of the hair.
The body has different types of hair, including vellus hair and androgenic hair, each with its own type of cellular construction. This varied construction gives the hair unique characteristics, serving specific purposes, mainly warmth (redundant in modern humans) and physical protection. Most humans develop the longest thickest hair on their scalps and (mostly observed in males) faces.
This hair will usually grow to several feet before terminating, but many humans develop much longer hair.”

I am strangely fascinated with hair and hair growth and hair makeup. This was super interesting to read how this product works. I don’t need any hair thickening products at this point in my life, but it is good to know that there are products out there to help with hair thickening and regrowth. Thanks so much for sharing and linking up.
