Loss of hair density does not always happen suddenly. Sometimes, hair simply starts to grow finer.
An increasingly visible parting. A ponytail that loses volume. Hair that, over time, seems to have less body.
These are some of the signs that may accompany progressive hair loss, a gradually evolving process that, in certain cases, involves follicular miniaturisation: the follicles produce progressively finer and shorter hairs, changing the visible density of the hair.
Unlike reactive hair shedding, which usually manifests as a sudden increase in hair shedding, progressive loss of density can develop slowly and may be associated with various factors, including genetic and hormonal factors.
Understanding these changes is the first step towards addressing hair care at its source: the scalp.
From our R&D laboratory, we present:
BLACK BACCARA Hair Multiplying GrowShot Scalp Concentrate
An intensive concentrate designed to care for hair prone to progressive thinning, combining plant biotechnology, peptides and scalp science.
A formula focused on the follicular environment, hair anchorage and the care of hair density over time.
The biotechnological heart of the formula
Powered by 23 high-performance active ingredients, 43% of which are derived from biotechnology, for the growth, thickness and longevity of the hair and scalp:
Hair Growth Factors (Capixyl™)
The science of hair anchorage
Hair quality begins in the follicle, a structure whose surrounding environment is essential to its development and anchorage in the scalp.
Capixyl™ combines a biomimetic peptide with a red clover extract (Trifolium pratense), rich in plant-derived bioactive compounds.
This combination has been developed to care for the follicular environment and is one of GrowShot's key technologies, within a formula designed to strengthen hair and support its anchorage.
Fresh Rose Stem Cells
Plant biotechnology for scalp protection
The follicular environment is exposed daily to external factors that can influence the balance and well-being of the scalp.
Fresh Rose Stem Cells is a biotechnological extract obtained from rose plant cells, selected for its antioxidant and protective potential.
A technology that incorporates care against environmental stress as an essential part of a cosmetic strategy to preserve the quality of the follicular environment.
Chronopeptides
The new dimension of hair science: biological rhythms
The hair follicle is not a static structure. Its activity is linked to complex mechanisms of cellular regulation.
Research has identified the presence of circadian molecular clocks in the hair follicle, involved in various processes related to its function and the regulation of the hair cycle.
Inspired by this connection between chronobiology and follicular science, Chronopeptides are part of GrowShot's innovative approach to caring for the hair and scalp over time.
Follicular science
Miniaturisation: when every hair counts
Hair density depends not only on the number of visible hairs, but also on their thickness.
In certain patterns of progressive loss, follicular miniaturisation causes new hairs to become increasingly finer, gradually changing the appearance of volume and scalp coverage.
Understanding the relationship between the follicle, its environment and the quality of the hair fibre makes it possible to develop specialised cosmetic strategies, focused not only on the visible hair but also on scalp care.
Because when loss of density evolves over time, hair care also needs a long-term perspective.
