Treating the science of hair much like the science of skin, StriVectin HAIR thinks we have overlooked a crucial part of our hair: our scalp. With their three targeted collections of Ultimate Restore, Max Volume, and Color Care due to be released this coming week; StriVectin HAIR uses their years of skincare knowledge as the largest US independent prestige skin care company to show that yes, the skin on your head is just as important as the skin on your body!
Anti-aging patented and award-winning NIA-114 technology is the main star of StriVectin HAIR. NIA-114 focuses on your skin and scalp health to nourish and rejuvenate the scalp in way almost always overlooked when it comes to hair products. At the core of each product, this technology branches out from its originally skincare-based duties to also revitalize hair from root to tip, improve hair health, appearance and manageability.
So what makes this collection different? Using what they call The Ageless Hair Index, they look out for certain signs of aging hair they wish to help and improve. Our hair ages just as much as our skin does, so why aren’t we looking out for the signs in our hair as well? Treating hair with anti-aging products is just as important as your skin to keep you looking youthful. StriVectin HAIR is unique to other hair ranges out there because their collection aims to look after your hair in the same way as you would your skin. It also doesn’t hurt that the entire collection is free of sulphates, parabens, phthalates, phosphates, and synthetic dyes, all those unhealthy things that you find in most of the cheaper haircare products.
Ultimate Restore
We are constantly using and abusing our hair with sun, and heat styling; even the simple act of aging can wreak havoc on our hair. With a shampoo, conditioner, deep repair mask, and densifying foaming treatment, the Ultimate Restore range targets thinning hair due to the everyday wear and tear made for women looking to restore strength for fuller, thicker looking hair… something we all crave.
Key ingredients that we know and love found throughout Ultimate Restore range from lemongrass extract, to Argan oil, and Shea butter. StriVectin HAIR’s trademarked key ingredients are great in that they use their skincare knowledge to add strength and protection to both and scalp and hair.
Max Volume
The Max Volume range of StriVectin HAIR is full of volume itself as the range contains a shampoo, conditioner, root lifting spray, and bodyifying radiance serum. These products are all aimed to restore hair’s resilience and give fuller, thicker hair without weighing it down. What we found interesting about StriVectin HAIR’s approach to volume is that their products actually work to expand the actual diameter of the hair as the health of the hair increases. Volume without weight is a hard balance to make in haircare and we’re excited to see if StriVectin HAIR gets the job done.
Color Care
Colored hair and healthy hair is an especially hard combination to maintain, especially with aging hair. The Color Care collection of StriVectin HAIR comes complete with shampoo, conditioner, vibrancy booster, and UV protective spray, made “for women with colour treated hair seeking to boost vibrancy, defend against colour-fade from UV rays and environmental aggressors, and address damage to hair strands due to colour treatments.”
Once again this range goes where other haircare just doesn’t, and treats the scalp as valuable skin through deep conditioning. This in turn helps to nourish and condition hair from skin around it gets to the very root of the issue of hair damage.
With promising clinically tested results, a focus on the scalp health that makes StriVectin HAIR stand out on high street shelves, and a wide variety of innovative hair complexes aimed to solve aging hair’s biggest issues, it’s no wonder why this range is so highly anticipated.
Check them out exclusively in Boots this coming week.
