How it works
Excessive heat and chemical damage breaks the hair shaft and weakens follicles, causing breakage that mimics or worsens hair loss. Reducing damage preserves existing hair.
Most effective for hair breakage rather than androgenetic alopecia. Use heat protectant products when heat styling cannot be avoided.
Strong mechanistic evidence and consistent dermatological recommendation. Hair breakage from styling damage is a significant and underestimated cause of apparent hair thinning.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
