Father’s Day is around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to talk about something many of our clients have questions about – hair loss. Whether it’s for you or someone you care about, understanding the root causes of hair loss can help in choosing the right solutions.
The Old Reliable is Old News
Traditional treatments like minoxidil (Rogaine) and finasteride have been around for a while, but they often show only minimal improvement in reversing hair loss caused by DHT. Products that combine the two have not been thoroughly tested, but typically seem to dilute the strength of both, thus giving you less potent results. With either of these options, you need to keep using them forever to maintain any progress, and forgetting a day or two can reverse that progress quickly. While this industry is always testing new options, there haven’t been very many notable contenders, except…
Meet Eufora’s HERO Line
In contrast, Eufora’s HERO line works by preventing DHT from forming in the first place. It blocks the enzyme from combining with the hormone, stopping hair loss before it starts. (Those who went to Catholic high schools might call it the “leaving room for Jesus” method.) Plus, the Aloe Stem Cells in HERO naturally help regrow hair, providing lasting results without fretting about forgetting a day or two, or having to continue using it when testosterone is no longer a problem.
The Two Main Categories of Hair Loss
When it comes to hair loss, we generally classify the causes into two categories: testosterone-based and non-testosterone-based hair loss.
1. Testosterone-Based Hair Loss
This happens when testosterone combines with the enzyme alpha-5 reductase to create DHT (dihydrotestosterone). We like to call them DHT Demon babies. DHT damages hair follicles, leading to thinning and loss. Eufora’s HERO line stops these “Demon babies” by preventing the enzyme and hormone from hooking up.
2. Non-Testosterone-Based Hair Loss
Non-testosterone-based hair loss is a bit more complex, as it can stem from various factors like hormonal imbalances (not only related to testosterone), stress, diet, tension alopecia, medical conditions, medications, or even hard water buildup. Eufora’s Thickening line addresses these diverse causes with a different blend of ingredients.
The Breakdown
Key Components of the HERO Line:
- ProAmino Peptide Complex: Acts as a barrier, preventing testosterone from combining with alpha-5 reductase to form DHT. It also promotes oxygen flow to the scalp and enhances blood circulation.
- Aloe Stem Cells: Help regrow hair by revitalizing the scalp and strengthening hair follicles.
- Comprehensive Treatment: Includes a shampoo, scalp conditioning treatment, and a potent spray rich in active ingredients designed to combat testosterone-related hair loss effectively.
Key Components of the Thickening Line:
- ProAmino Peptide Complex: Just like in the HERO line, this complex supports overall scalp health and hair growth.
- Vitamins and Nutrients: Nourish the scalp and strengthen hair internally, by making sure you have the nutrients you need to produce healthy hair.
- Thickening Serum: A styling product that adds volume and density to thinning hair while blow drying catering to a wide range of hair loss causes.
Eufora choses to separate these lines instead of combining all active ingredients into one product for two reasons:
- Targeted Treatment: By focusing on specific causes, each product line delivers maximum effectiveness without diluting the potency of active ingredients.
- Cost Efficiency: Combining all ingredients into one product would increase production costs, resulting in higher prices for consumers. Separate lines allow for targeted, affordable solutions.
Choosing the Right Product(s) for You
At Wicked Hues, we often say that the products don’t know whose head they’re on; they’re simply tools to help address specific issues. If you believe that testosterone-related factors are causing your hair loss, the HERO line may be more suitable for you. On the other hand, if your hair loss is due to other reasons, the Thickening line might be the better option. For some clients a combination of the products from both lines might make the most sense. Book with one of our hairlocks if you need help. We’d love to help you find the right options for you!
