My hair is fine, oily, limp and straight. I hate it. I always have. The only time I don’t hate my hair is after I’ve gotten a spiral perm, which I do annually. I do this because it helps take some of the oils out and give me volume I wouldn’t have otherwise. I don’t do it more often because my hair holds most perms fairly well and I don’t want to process my hair much more often then that. When the perm has relaxed a lot, or if it’s part of the period of time where I need one and haven’t gotten one, I hate my pair because once again I have to deal with fine, oily, limp hair. I was quite intrigued when I heard about Neocell’s Keratin Hair Volumizer, winner of the Delicious Living’s Beauty Product Award 2014.
The key ingredients in this product are:
- Cynatine HNS Solubilized Keratin: The ability to convert natural keratin into a functional form that is bio-available to the body is a recent advancement. Cynatine HNS® is solubilized enabling it to be both bioactive and bioavailable in the body, which allows it to bind with hair. Cynatine HNS® has been clinically proven to reduce hair loss from washing, improve hair strength and improve the brightness and luster of hair.*
- Hydrolyzed Super Collagen: Hydrolyzed Super Collagen™ is a structural component of hair, skin and nail health. Super Collagen™ is a rich source of glycine, proline, alanine and hydroxyproline, which are the main constituents of collagen in the hair. Research suggests that collagen supplementation stimulates fibroblasts at the hair root, resulting in increased diameter of the hair shaft. NeoCell’s pharmaceutical grade Super Collagen™ is enzymatically hydrolyzed, providing a collagen amino acid ratio with low molecular weight for maximum bioavailability.*
- Amla Extract: Amla, or Indian Gooseberry, has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine for its anti-aging properties. Amla provides high concentrations of Vitamin C and and has been revered for being a powerful antioxidant.*
- Vitamin C: Vitamin C is an antioxidant that is an important part of optimal collagen formation.*
Neocell Keratin Hair Volumizer comes in a capsule. I have some issues with large capsules since having Lap band. You need to take two capsules twice a day. As it turned out, these capsules turned out to be too big for my body to happily handle. I wound up having to open the capsules up and pour the powder inside into orange juice. I have been taking this for almost a month now. My hair doesn’t seem quite as oily and flat as it generally does, but in fairness I also use volumizing shampoo so I can’t swear which one is causing the difference. In the past there were occasions where I noticed a fair amount of hair loss especially in the shower drain. I have noticed that the amount of hair I lose does seem to be less now. If you’ve got thin hair then Neocell’s Keratin Hair Volumizer might be worth looking into for you.
