Seborrheic dandruff involves greasy skin patches covered with white or yellow scales or crusts and itching. Symptoms often flare up with stress, fatigue, or seasonal changes.

Oily hair results from overactive sebaceous glands. Hormonal imbalances, stress, lifestyle, and inappropriate products can be decisive factors.

Fine hair is structurally weaker and appears limp. Strengthen it from the root, thicken fiber structures. With Platinum & Diamonds, achieve a silky, protected, and ultra-voluminous mane. 

WHAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENTS IN ANTI-AGING HAIR TREATMENTS?

We use premium anti-aging ingredients like caviar, 24k gold, and platinum and diamond powder; oils, floral extracts, and waters; and natural peptides like hexapeptides and tripeptides. Biotechnology enhances the functionality and effectiveness of these active ingredients.

HOW TO PREVENT HAIR LOSS?

Use products suited for your hair type, activate cellular mechanisms, ensure nutrient delivery, and maintain a stable growth cycle. Exfoliation is crucial as it enhances microcirculation, improves oxygenation, removes residue, and ensures nutrient absorption.

Natural or genetic aging, hormonal imbalances, stress, excess sebum, and other factors disrupt cell function and hair growth phases, slow circulation, and reduce nutrient and oxygen delivery to follicles, leading to miniaturization, fragility, and hair loss.

HOW TO STOP POSTPARTUM HAIR LOSS?

During postpartum and breastfeeding, hair loss is common but temporary. Focus on strengthening hair throughout pregnancy. We recommend Special Hair Loss Shampoo with Hair Loss Shock Treatment or Vitamin Reinforcing.

Dandruff forms due to disrupted scalp flora, irritation, dryness, excess sebum, conditions like psoriasis or eczema, and overgrowth of the fungus Malassezia.

Dry dandruff appears as loose white flakes that easily fall off the scalp. Oily dandruff consists of small yellowish scales that stick to the hair and scalp, accompanied by itching, burning, and inflammation.

Extreme Caviar Purifying Charcoal Shampoo is formulated for oily scalps or seborrheic dermatitis, with multi-vitamin complexes to regulate sebaceous gland activity and prevent rebound effects.

HOW TO TREAT OILY, FINE HAIR?

HOW TO WASH OILY HAIR?

Daily washing is fine with gentle products that preserve the hair’s natural barrier. Massage the scalp during each wash to enhance oxygenation and ensure thorough rinsing to remove product residue.

HOW TO ADD VOLUME TO FINE, SPARSE HAIR?

Maintain hair rejuvenation, nourishment, and protection against damage. Regenerate the hair's electrical balance, thicken and strengthen the hair.
