Vegamour + Healthy Hair Growth Guide What to Know

· Leave a Comment

We all want lush, healthy hair. So we fully tested 6 Vegamour GRO products.

  • We used each Vegamour product for the recommended full 3 months.
  • We researched the efficacy of the ingredients in each formulation.

Want to know what we learned? Check out our six-part Vegamour GRO series. We share research on how the ingredients work, show the packaging, and tell our Vegamour experience for each of the six products we tried for this year’s Hair Loss Awareness Month.

Vegamour GRO Hair Serum uses vegan-friendly ingredients to promote hair growth. We independently researched the ingredients and used the serum for the full three months. Stay tuned for our findings!

Who Can Benefit from Vegamour Hair Growth Products?

For more than 40% of women, hair thinning occurs with several medical problems, medications, post-partum, post-COVID, and simply with age.

Hair Growth Remedies

There are a few approaches to hair regrowth.

1. Hair Growth devices

2. topical solutions

3. prescription medications or topicals.

There are few vegan options or options for those who wish to avoid chemicals. But there are research-backed, vegan, topical remedies to optimize hair growth.

Why Your Hair Isn’t Growing

The primary enemies to healthy hair growth are:

  1. DHT accumulation on the scalp
  2. Impaired circulation
  3. Scalp inflammation

And a related problem: hair breakage. Your hair is growing, but it is also breaking off. This makes hair uneven, appear thin and unkempt. It gives the overall look of no hair growth progress.

Check In With Your Doctor

If your hair growth pattern is behaving differently, the first thing is to check in with your doctor.

It isn’t just your vanity, your hair health can be a clue into your overall health.

The vitamin deficiencies impacting hair growth are the same vitamins necessary for your body to function properly.

Bloodwork can rule out some of the usual deficiencies such as low Vitamin D, iron, magnesium, or B12. Any of these can impair hair growth, cause brittle hair, and even cause hair loss and breakage.

Most of us get enough Biotin from eggs, nuts or fortified foods, but if you are deficient, that can also cause hair growth issues and hair loss.

A dermatologist can check if any scalp conditions are impacting your hair growth and make some recommendations.

Once these areas have been checked, it is time to consider which topical treatments work and what hair care can optimize your hair growth.

What Ingredients Help Grow Hair?

There are many ingredients which claim to jump start hair growth. Research shows some do.

Some ingredients help some people with certain problems, but won’t help others. It is awfully expensive in both time and money trying to figure out your hair growth problems.

How Vegamour Ingredients Can Help Grow Hair

Vegamour uses research backed ingredients within cruelty free, vegan formulations to optimize hair growth without chemicals.

Can all natural ingredients REALLY grow back hair?

We see many testimonials online saying that Vegamour works.

So we did our own research into several Vegamour formulations to see what the medical journals say about these ingredients. And we tried the products our for ourselves for the full three months required to see results.

The Vegamour Range

We tested several of their products for the full recommended three months. We researched each of the ingredients, and we report our findings on each product. Check out our reviews on these products from the Vegamour range:

  • GRO Hair Foam
  • GRO Shampoo
  • GRO Conditioner
  • GRO Serum
  • Anti-Gray Hair Serum
  • GRO Scalp Detoxifying Serum

Check out the ingredients in this stellar vegan lineup, see that oh so pretty packaging, and read all about our experiences with Vegamour!

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer: 10 Tips How to Best Use

·

This how-to guide is about How to Use Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Deep Conditioning Treatment: 10 Tips for Best Use

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Deep Conditioning Treatment is considered by many to be a holy grail hair rescue product.

But for some, Elasticizer is just meh. How can some people swear by it and others be disappointed?

Proper application is key to getting the most out of Philip Kingsley Elasticizer or Elasticizer Extreme.

Not sure how to use Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Deep Conditioning Treatment? Read our top ten tips for best use below.

How to Use Philip Kingsley Elasticizer

How to Use Philip Kingsley Elasticizer: 10 Tips for Best Use

Why Elasticizer is Special

We previously reviewed Philip Kingsley Elasticizer and discussed how we love its’ simple but excellent ingredients.

A key ingredient overview helps deconstruct the elusive je ne sais quoi of Elasticizer. Let’s take a look:

Key Ingredients

Olive Oil nourishes hair

OLIVE OIL

A moisturizing oil with Omega-3s and polyphenols. Omegas nourish the hair follicle and make the cuticle smooth and the shaft strong.

Kingsley found Olive Oil works best not as a direct oil application, but within a creamy formula base.

It aids in the penetration of the precious vitamins and fatty acids.

A creamy formula also makes it easier to wash out without oily residue after use.

HYDROLYZED ELASTIN

Elastin gives hair tensile strength: the ability to stretch. Hydrolyzed Elastin adds body and elasticity to hair. It improves hair’s resistance to breakage and aids moisture retention.

Unlike protein treatments, you cannot over-do elastin. Elastin returns a youthful look to the hair.

Elastin is important to keep hair looking vibrant, lush, bouncy and healthy.

Castor seed oil is a humectant

CASTOR OIL

Castor Oil draws moisture into the hair shaft making it plumper and hydrated. It’s Vitamin E softens hair. Castor Oil thickens thinning hair and calms the appearance of frizzy hair.

Castor Oil is typically too thick and sticky to apply directly to the hair. But in this formulation, it washes out easily.

GLYCERIN

Glycerin helps hair to retain moisture. This is particularly important for thirsty coarse and curly hair.

Ten Tips on How to Best Use Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Deep Conditioning Treatment

1. Apply to Fully Damp Hair

Apply Elasticizer to fully damp hair prior to shampooing.

How to do it:
  • Warm the creamy conditioner slightly in your hands.
  • Slowly smooth it into the length of the hair to help it absorb.

2.  It Must Fully Absorb

Absorption is the key. It won’t accomplish nearly as much just sitting on the hair surface.

How to do it

I apply it to a small section of hair at a time.

Then place the hair section between two fingers and gently “squeegee” the product down the hair length to assist absorption.

For sections that don’t absorb after 30 minutes, I re-wet the hair with a spray bottle and repeat the squeegee process.

Gently squeeze it in if the squeegee method doesn’t work.

3. Avoid the Scalp

There is no harm in applying it closer to the scalp, but it is most beneficial applied to lengths down to the ends. I focus extra on areas I heat style with my curling wand – bangs, money pieces, and ends.

Some suggest applying from the ear down to the ends.

4. Keep Elasticizer moist

As long as it stays damp, it continues to work. 

HOW TO DO IT:

  • I like to use a processing cap or hair towel to let it stay moist.
  • Your facial steamer can add a special oomph to the penetration.
  • If Elasticizer is getting dry and hard, spritz it down.

5. 10-Minute Minimum Use

It takes about five minutes to absorb into the hair.  Leave it in for a minimum of ten minutes, or even overnight in a covered cap or towel.

In the Kingsley Clinics in New York and London, they leave Elasticizer in for 30 minutes.

Don’t have time for a full treatment? Try this tip:

“I like to treat any split or brittle hair with perhaps a teaspoonful, gently worked into my hair and then left overnight. Very economical and a quick and easy boost when I don’t have time for the full works.”

– JENNIFER DYE
PHILIP KINGSLEY HEAD TRICHOTHERAPIST

6.  Add heat

Heat intensifies the penetration. Use it while exercising, at the beach or sunbathing, or while taking a steam.

7. Don’t Use Elasticizer before or after Hair Coloring

The packaging says it can remove hair color or impede coloring. Don’t use Elasticizer for 3 days before and after coloring.

I ignored these directions and found out it is true. The Olive Oil can remove fresh color, and color doesn’t take when used within 3 days before coloring.

8. Use the Formulation for Your Hair Type

Use the proper formulation for your hair type.

  • Kingsley Elasticizer Extreme is for coarse, naturally coiled, or very damaged hair.
  • Fine and Medium texture hair should use Elasticizer Intensive.
  • For medium or curly textured damaged hair that is LONG, I found Elasticizer Extreme works. Your mileage may vary.

9.  Add-Ins

Elasticizer is an excellent creamy base for your favorite hair oil. Sometimes I add a few drops of warm Jojoba or Avocado oil

10. Stick With It

We find the benefits are cumulative. Courtney initially didn’t see much difference, but after second use, she was wowed by the results.

Lyn’s coarse and colored hair responded well to Elasticizer Intense, but benefits far more from Philip Kingsley’s Elasticizer Extreme.

BEST TIP: after slightly warming a small amount in your hands, gently squeegee it into the hair to aid absorption.

Once the bottle is opened, it lasts for a year.

Strawberry Leopard Shades

Strawberry Leopard comes in 17 shades and a Pastel Mixer.

The Strawberry Leopard Pastel Mixer lets you turn any shade into its’ pretty pastel counterpart.

Here are a few shades we got to try:

Can Strawberry Leopard Dye Color My Gray Hair?

Maybe. While it will leave some tint on gray hair, as always, gray is generally tricky.

But this is a conditioning formula, so you have nothing to lose by experimenting!

The darker shades leave more pigment on gray hair than the pastels. Think more sheer tint than full coverage.

Another thing that is also special about Strawberry Leopard is how well it treats hair after it has been bleached. Bleached hair is often porous, dry, and damaged.

Take a look at some of the ingredients in this conditioning vegan formulation:

What is in Strawberry Leopard Hair Dye? The Ingredients

Maximilian Passion Fruit Black Seed Oil Shampoo: Why Love It

· 2 Comments

Review: Maximilian Passion Fruit Black Seed Oil Shampoo

It is a good time for hair rehab. Curly hair is naturally dry and requires extra moisture. An excellent shampoo and conditioning duo to restore moisture into dry, damaged hair is Maximilian Passion Fruit Black Seed Oil Curly Hair Shampoo and Conditioner Set. It contains only gentle, moisturizing ingredients including Passionfruit Extract, Sweet Almond Oil, Panthenol, and Black Seed Oil.

Maximilian Passion Fruit Black Seed Oil Curly Hair Shampoo and Conditioner Set

Maximilian Passion Fruit Black Seed Oil Curly Hair Shampoo and Conditioner Set

Why curly hair Needs Moisture

Curly hair requires extra moisture

Curly hair is naturally drier. It has a wider diameter which leads to more surface moisture loss. Our natural scalp oils have difficulty making their way down the spiral shape of a curl.

The shape of a curl also makes it extra brittle.

When curly hair is colored or styled straight with hot tools, it can easily damage already dry hair.

Many shampoos and even conditioners contain ingredients that dry out and damage curly hair. These include:

  • parabens
  • sulphates
  • silicones
  • alcohols

If you have curly hair, it is a great time to transition away from drying shampoos and conditioners in order to achieve lush, healthy, soft, and shiny curls.

A great haircare set for curly hair is Maximilian Passion Fruit Black Seed Oil Curly Hair Shampoo and Conditioner Set.

What Makes Maximilian Passion Fruit Black Seed Oil Special

Maximilian ingredients are considered safe for curly hair

Both the shampoo and conditioner use natural, safe, curly friendly ingredients to infuse and lock in moisture.

Also important is what these products do NOT contain:

  • Sulfate
  • parabens
  • PEG
  • coloring
  • gluten
  • Silicone
  • No animal testing, cruelty-free

While these features are vital for curly hair, they are also beneficial to any texture hair that is dry, colored or damaged. Sulfates can be drying to even oily hair types. But this set uses three gentle cleansers considered safe for curly hair.

This volumizing formula makes hair healthier, it smooths the hair while imparting softness and shine. The ingredients work together to add moisture and then lock in that moisture.

Let’s take a closer look at these outstandingly curl-friendly ingredients.

Maximilian Passion Fruit Black Seed Oil Curly Hair Supporting Ingredients

This shampoo and conditioner set uses exotic ingredients such as Passionfruit

This shampoo and conditioner set uses exotic ingredients such as Passionfruit

Passion Fruit Extract

Passion fruit Extract contains hair restoring nutrients

Passion fruit Extract contains hair restoring nutrients

Passion fruit seed oil, also known as Maracuja Oil, is a Brazilian beauty mainstay.

Passionfruit benefits include:

  • It improves how the hair looks and feels.
  • It also benefits the health of the scalp.
  • Healthy scalps are vital to growing healthy hair.

Passionfruit nutrients are great for hair. These include:

  • Passion fruit extract contains 72% linoleic acid, one of the richest sources of this hair-friendly essential acid. [1]  This gives hair a glossy, healthy shine.
  • It is rich in vitamin A, potassium, antioxidants, and minerals that benefit both hair and scalp.
  • Vitamin C, riboflavin, carotene improves moisture retention.
  • antioxidants counteract the oxidative stress signs of hair aging [2]
  • Vitamin E improves dry hair and a dry scalp. It infuses moisture and retains it.
  • This helps alleviate dandruff and restore dry, damaged hair. 
  • Vitamins B6 and B2 aid scalp circulation.
  • This benefits follicles and helps build stronger hair.
  • Passion fruit extract also has anti-inflammatory benefits.

The vitamins in Passion fruit extract are amazing at locking in moisture without leaving the hair greasy or limp.

Sweet Almond Oil restores brittle hair

Sweet Almond Oil restores brittle hair

Sweet Almond Oil

  • Sweet Almond Oil is hair reparative and softening.
  • It is excellent for brittle hair, damaged hair, dry and over-processed hair.
  • Sweet almond oil contains proteins and vitamins A, B, D, and E, Omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, and magnesium.
  • Amino acids and proteins strengthen the hair strand
  • smoothes the hair cuticle.
  • nourishes and strengthens damaged hair, making it silky and shiny again.
  • reduces hair loss and makes hair more elastic.

Sweet Almond Oil protects delicate hair strands and combats brittleness. Brittleness results in breakage and is a huge barrier to meaningful hair growth.

Almond Oil is also a carrier oil, meaning it helps other oils and ingredients penetrate and absorb.

Sweet Almond Oil also gives hair a natural sheen.

Black Seed Oil

Black Seed Oil comes from the seeds of the flower Nigella sativa

Black Seed Oil comes from the seeds of the flower Nigella sativa

Black Seed Oil is also known as Cumin Seed Oil. It comes from the seeds of the Nigella sativa, commonly called virgin in the green flower.

Rich in fatty amino acids, Black Seed Oil is moisturizing to both the hair and the scalp.

For scalp care, Black Seed Oil contains Thymoquinone. This is an excellent antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. It hydrates the scalp to keep it in optimal condition for growing healthy hair.  It combats scalp conditions such as dandruff, psoriasis, and other skin conditions  [3]

Black Seed Oil is called a hair growth remedy.  Studies of Telogen effluvium hair loss show topical Black Seed Oil reduces temporary hair loss. [4]

Black Cumin Oil works well with other ingredients to provide therapeutic effects.

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)

Panthenol is a humectant, emollient, and moisturizer. It is the alcohol analog of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and is a provitamin of B5.

It has ultra-hydrating properties. But unlike oils, it won’t make hair oily or greasy.

Panthenol penetrates the hair shaft and locks in moisture.
It also retains moisture along the hair surface which reflects light for a shiny appearance.

It also makes hair look and feels soft and pliable without oils or waxes. The sealed-in moisture plumps the hair shaft which gives the hair a more voluminous appearance.

It makes hair look healthier by boosting shine and plumping the hair shaft. More volume gives even damaged or thinning hair a healthier appearance. [5]

It is excellent for brittle hair and curly hair. It washes clean from the hair without residue. For very porous hair, it can behave like a protein.

Panthenol also moisturizes the skin on the scalp and is believed to promote cell regeneration.
