Hair Growth Actives are ingredients designed to stimulate hair follicles, improve scalp health, and promote the growth of stronger, thicker hair. They work through multiple mechanisms such as:
Prolonging the anagen (growth) phase of hair
Increasing blood circulation to hair follicles
Reducing hair follicle miniaturization caused by hormones like DHT
Strengthening the hair shaft and preventing breakage
Protecting follicles from oxidative stress and inflammation
