Hair Begins As A Living Follicle In The Scalp

  • We are born with all of the follicles we will ever have. There are about 100,000 living follicles in our scalp
  • Each follicle produces a single hair1 that grows about 6 inches per year2 and is replaced by a new one that forces the old one out3
  • Each hair follicle has its own blood, nerve and muscle supply

Does Your Hair Survive It’s Natural Lifespan? What we know about hair

  • Anagen Phase: Birthing stage of hair that lasts for weeks to months.
  • Categen Phase: Living stage of hair that lasts up to 6 years.
  • Telegen Phase: Hair has essentially died, but stays in the scalp until another Anagen hair is generated and forces it out.

Conditions That Interrupt The Lifespan Of The Hair

  • Congested scalp
  • Sweat
  • Aging
  • Dandruff
  • Overexposure to sun
  • Sebum1 build up in the follicle
  • Metabolic and hormonal imbalances & Genetics or autoimmune health issues
  • Hair Is Alive! Hair is alive throughout its base, where it is a part of the living body.
  • To thrive and maintain its health, hair requires proper nutrition, and the scalp needs proper maintenance.
  • Products and protocol were developed to address these needs.
  • Results start with a Rediscovery of Shampooing: the simple, self-applied, simultaneous application of its foundational dual shampoo treatment.
  • Protocols are personalized to supply nutrients to hair and scalp needed to live a healthy existence throughout the hair’s entire lifespan.
