Polysorbate 80: Researched at Helsinki University, this hair growth stimulating compound is approved by the FDA as an emulsifying agent in shampoos and lotions. Polysorbate 80 works in three different ways:
* Removes dihydrotestosterone (DHT) & cholesterol from the scalp.
* Releases histamine (a growth factor) in the scalp.
* Removes excessive body oil & dead skin cells around hair follicles.

Biotin: This new ingredient was developed by endocrinologists to reduce excessive hair loss & revitalize new hair growth. In tests conducted, as many as 70% of all cases obtained results. They concluded that Biotin is a basic nutritional factor in hair growth & in the control of hair fallout.

Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Studies have shown that topically applied Panthenol has the ability to thicken & repair damaged hair. Panthenol is a relatively small molecule that can penetrate the hair shaft & hold moisture within each hair (to provide pliability from the inside & lustre on the outside).

Inositol: (a B-Vitamin) An antioxidant which has a protective effect on hair follicles, by protecting them from membrane damage caused by oxidized cholesterol in the scalp.

Jojoba Oil: It is remarkably effective against sebum, which is the fatty substance secreted by the sebaceous glands of the scalp. It frees the scalp of flakes & dirt - encouraging hair to grow.

Nettle/Rosemary: A mixture of these herbal extracts helps to speed up the metabolism of the hair follicle.

Salicylic Acid: Eliminates seborrhea & dandruff. Horsetail: One of the most silicate-rich plants, Horsetail contains about 7% silicic acid. Since tissue-strengthening and resistance-promoting properties (especially for the connective tissue) are ascribed to silicic acid, horsetail extracts are an important ingredient in strengthening hair lotions.

Saw Palmetto: Research has found that hair loss and thinning hair is attributed to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone which is produced by the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase. The natural herb, Saw Palmetto, along with the mineral Zinc can inhibit this enzyme, thereby helping prevent and reverse male pattern baldness. Ingredients in the Segals Solutions Hair Root Formula
