Hair Restoration Laboratorieshas spent the past decade developing their anti-hair loss product line, incorporating clinically-proven ingredients to help prevent and reverse hair loss and support the growth of thicker, stronger, and healthier hair. This line is now available to stylists to offer clients who suffer from female and male pattern baldness, hair loss and thinning.
“Approximately 10 years ago, I started Hair Restoration Laboratories," says CEO and Founder Jonathan Swichar. "At that point in time, I was extremely frustrated by all of the products being peddled to help with hair loss that were completely ineffective, unsupported by research and based upon junk science. At that time, scientists were just beginning to understand DHT’s relationship to hair loss, but there were no products on the market taking advantage of this research. A decade of intense collaboration with top chemists, scientists and hair restoration specialists has led to our Hair Restore product line. We are excited to finally offer men and women products, supported by science, and that actually work, to address hair loss caused by genetics.”
Featuring its proprietary DHT Halting Technology®, Hair Restoration Laboratories focuses solely on addressing DHT, the hormone that is responsible for genetic hair loss. Unfortunately, DHT causes havoc for hair follicles by "choking" the folicle and, when untreated, DHT leads to a process called “miniaturization.” As the hair follicles become miniaturized, they will grow in thinner and thinner. Eventually, the hair becomes so thin and weak that, once it falls out, it simply does not regrow again.
Hair Restoration Laboratories’ Hair Restore product line specifically addresses the problems caused by DHT. Each of its products contains its DHT Halting Technology®--proprietary formulas, supported by independent studies, to block DHT from building up on the scalp. By removing DHT from the scalp surface, the Hair Restore product line provides an ideal scalp environment to prevent and reverse hair loss and encourage thick, healthy hair growth.
