After using the line about one year I feel very comfortable in providing feedback. There are two shampoos: Strengthening (for chemical treated) and Volume (fullness, fine hair). They both have complimentary conditioners. Both are gentle cleansing shampoos. We absolutely love the Leave In conditioner! Smells wonderful - fresh clean, softens the hair, helps detangle. Eprouvage also has a men's line. Both men and women use the same Scalp Serum.
The Reviving Scalp Serum is a very light product to be used in areas where thinning is a concern. The Serum doesn't interfere with client styles and dries quickly. For most people the temples, front hairline, and spots in the top of the head are places to concentrate Serum use. Several of our clients are using the product daily and feel they are seeing hair growth improvement. Many clients have repurchased this product.
Most importantly frequent shampooing is recommended when thinning occurs. Thickening and volumizing products to style are helpful to achieve a fuller look. Massage your scalp by brushing daily to circulate blood flow. When brushing isn't an option while wearing many natural styles, use your finger tips to massage your scalp and stimulate natural oils. Many Eprouvage product promotions include a complimentary scalp stimulating brush.
Avoid styles and sleeping in rollers that put tension on your hair and cause traction alopecia. Try pin curling the hair for less tension on the hair and a more comfortable rest. A great deal of the hair loss we are seeing in the salon is caused by unhealthy hair styles that put too much stress on the natural hair. Discuss your hair loss concerns with your physician during annual (semi-annual) checkups. Vitamin deficiencies, thyroid conditions, medication side effects, and postpartum commonly contribute to temporary hair loss. A healthy diet that includes good fats, proteins and vitamins is very beneficial to growing healthy hair.
