The New Superfood For Your Hair - Prickly Pear (Cactus Plant)
One of the core ingredients of the SOS Hair Care formula is prickly pear cactus plant extract. Cactus extract has long been used to help improve the quality of skin, hair and nails, due to its high nutrient content and brilliant concentration of oxidants that help to rejuvenate skin, nails and hair.
Prickly pear cactus contains a high concentration of amino acids which naturally build up collagen to strengthen hair & also benefit skin health. Also high in fatty acids omega 6 & 9. This 'super fruit' also has some other incredible benefits such as being a good source of calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium and phosphorus, all of which help benefit normal hair growth. The extract also contains a high level of oxidants including ascorbic acid, which is a gentle clarifying agent and can help to remove mineral residue and buildup on the surface of the hair. This allows the hair to accept moisture more effectively, helping to keep it soft, shiny and supple. Linoleic acid also occurs in abundance in cactus extract, and is a fatty acid which helps to increase blood flow and circulation to the scalp, increasing hair growth and helping to ensure new growth is strong and healthy. Zinc is responsible for ensuring healthy hair growth and repair, and also contributes to the maintenance of vital oil glands on the scalp. As well as all of this, prickly pear extract is high in carotenoids and flavonoids, which help protect hair pigmentation and circulation to the scalp.
Prickly pear is your hair’s new favourite super fruit, and is a core ingredient of SOS Hair Care’s hair growth formula.
Biotin
Biotin, is the key B vitamin for healthy hair. Biotin deficiency can lead to hair thinning and loss, while high doses of biotin, like the concentrated dose in SOS Hair Care’s formula, help reduce this.
Biotin has been used in hair care products for a long time, introducing them into shampoos, conditioners and capsules over the past few years. Whilst other products contain around 250ug of Biotin, SOS Hair Care contains 6 TIMES MORE at 1500ug per serving. That’s a whole lot of hair growth goodness, and a major part of why hair growth with SOS Hair Care is so fast, strong and effective.
Bamboo Extract
Bamboo extract is rich in biotin, and also contains 70% silica. Silica can help to improve the softness of the hair, and skin, helping it remain supple and strong. It also promotes balance in the body overall, and can help to give the immune system a boost with continued or larger doses. Horsetail extract is also a part of our formula, and also contains high levels of silica. Together, the bamboo and horsetail plant extracts work perfectly in combination to improve overall hair health and leave you with longer, stronger hair.
Copper
Copper is a mineral that plays an important role in the production and formation of melanin in the body. Melanin is the substance that gives skin and hair pigmentation, and can help protect you from a degree of sun damage. Copper deficiency can lead to a loss of melanin in the hair shaft, meaning the hair is poorly protected from sun damage. It can also lead to poor hair pigmentation, as well as dry, brittle hair.
Zinc
Zinc is a mineral that occurs in the prickly pear extract, but also is an independent ingredient in the SOS Hair Care formula. Zinc plays an important role in hair growth and repair by keeping the oil glands around the follicles working properly. Without adequate oil production on the scalp, the hair will see mineral buildup, and become dry and easily breakable. This also slows hair growth as the individual strands don’t have enough support at the root. Lack of oil production also dries out the skin on the scalp, increasing the likelihood of a dry, itchy scalp or dandruff.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, and is vital for collagen production in the body. Without vitamin C in the body, collagen cannot be produced, which has a negative impact not just on the hair, but also the skin and a wide variety of other tissues in the body. Vitamin C also contributes to effective cell turnover and can help to reduce sun damage in the skin and hair. It helps to smooth and tighten the surface of the hair cuticle, helping to make the surface of each individual strand reflective and giving your hair a beautiful shine. Vitamin C also gently cleanses and moisturises the hair shaft, leaving it looking and feeling soft and supple.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is sometimes known as ‘the hormone vitamin’, as it is actually a hormone rather than a vitamin. It has been shown in studies to help grow new hair follicles. Lack of vitamin D has also been linked to hair loss, so ensuring vitamin D levels in the body are always consistent can help to reduce hair loss and keep hair looking thick and voluminous.
Taurine
Taurine is a key amino acid that helps to build keratin in the hair follicle, which helps to make hair stronger and less likely to suffer from breakage. It also acts as a strong anti inflammatory, which can help reduce hair loss and promote general scalp health. Inflammation of the scalp is a major cause of DHT conversion induced hair loss, also known as male pattern baldness, a condition that affects the majority of men at some point in their lives.
Horsetail Plant Extract
Horsetail plant, sometimes known as Puzzlegrass, is very high in silica which, like bamboo extract, helps to strengthen individual hair strands. Horsetail plant extract is also high in antioxidants, improving overall hair strength and health, and is also an anti inflammatory, meaning it can help with hair retention and improving the health of the scalp.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is required in the body to metabolise amino acids, and ensure they work effectively in the body. It is needed by all the tissues in the body to grow well, including hair, which is actually the fastest growing tissue in the body! Vitamin A is also required to build up keratin, the main component of the hair, helping to keep it strong and healthy, prevent hair loss, and helps encourage sebum (natural oil) production on the scalp.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant which helps to reduce oxidative stress put on the hair by free radicals such as pollution, sun exposure to help maintain healthy hair growth. Vitamin E can also help replenish shine by repairing this environmental damage in the shaft of the hair.
Vitamin B3
Vitamin B3, also known as niacin, is a fantastic ingredient for encouraging hair growth in the body. Niacin is also a potent vasodilator. This means that it causes the capillaries, veins and arteries in the body to slightly expand, increasing the rate of blood flow throughout the body and improving the rate of nutrient flow into hair follicles on the scalp. Niacin also helps to trigger the removal of waste products from the skin, including the scalp, helping to keep hair clean, clear and healthy.
Vitamin B5
Vitamin B5, or pantothenic acid, helps to prevent early hair greying and can restore natural colour. It works to seal the hair follicles and coats the strands, locking in moisture and helping to keep the hair smooth and hydrated. This also allows it to build a very thin layer of moisture around the hair without making hair oily, greasy or heavy.
