AG Hair’s Volume category delivers light, airy and uplifting products that provide volume and fullness to otherwise flat hair. AG’s proprietary all-natural Regenerative Complex has been infused into each product, rebalancing the growth cycle while creating the optimal environment for healthy hair growth.
Here, we highlight two of the products in the line that aid in the thickening category.
Root Thikkening Serum: Improves the volume of fine or thinning hair, starting directly at the root. Enhanced with AG’s Regenerative Complex, this product contains pea sprout extract, ginseng and ginger to help create and maintain the optimal environment for healthy hair growth. Gentle polymers lift at the root, giving the appearance of thicker, fuller hair.
How to use it: Use morning and night on damp or dry hair for a minimum of 90 days. Target sprayer at the root and areas where thinning is most noticeable. Massage gently on scalp with fingers, coaxing and lifting the hair to maximize volume. For best results, prior to styling, follow with Thikkening Lotion to create fuller looking hair instantly.
Thikkening Lotion: Designed not to weigh down fine hair. Ultra-lightweight, Thikkening Lotion contains a high concentration of AG’s Regenerative Complex helping create the optimal environment for hair growth. Strand volumizers plump individual hair shafts, resulting in thicker more lustrous hair.
How to use it: Emulsify the lotion in hands and rake through damp hair from roots to ends. Blow dry and style. For best results use daily in conjunction with Root Thikkening Serum.
Panthenol – helps thicken the hair shaft.
Silk proteins – add moisture, strength, elasticity and shine.
Pea sprout extract – rebalances the lifecycle of hair by prolonging the growth (anagen) phase, improving hair density and fullness.
Organic tilicene – increases volume by forming a protective and supportive film on hair.
Ginseng root extract – encourages hair growth by stimulating the scalp’s metabolism bringing nutrient rich blood to roots.
Ginger root extract – anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and antiseptic.
Rosemary leaf – creates a healthy environment for hair growth by disinfecting and soothing the scalp.
Sage leaf, nettle, chamomile, wild cherry bark and hops herbal extracts – soothe the scalp and add shine to hair.
Aloe barbadensis extract – derived from the aloe vera plant; provides therapeutic, moisturizing and healing properties.
Menthol – soothes and heals scalp.
