WHAT IS REDENSYL?
Redensyl is a natural, cosmetic plant based molecule that is considered to be a brilliant hair catalyst. It stimulates the dormant hair stem cells (one of the reasons hair growth stops) and activates them to promote more hair growth.
It has 4 major molecules that majorly promote hair growth
All of these four molecules play in sync and increase the anagen phase of hair growth which usually starts declining due to aging factors.
So the Major Benefits of Redensyl
- Promotion of new hair growth
- Prevention of hair fall
- Increased hair density
- Thick, voluminous hair
While we talk about the latest advancements in the field of hair care, there is a plethora of Haircare and Hair growth methods and herbs mentioned in Ayurveda as well, a 5000 year old system of medicine. Let's see what Ayurveda , the oldest system of medicine, says about Hair growth.
AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE
Hair or 'kesh' as Ayurveda likes to call it is considered as a sub tissue in Ayurveda. Ayurveda considers characteristics of hair depending upon multiple factors: The paternal influence, the diet and the dominant Dosha in the body.
- Vata dominated people usually have dry, brittle, thin scalp hair.
- Pitta dominated people usually have straight, brown coloured hair
- Kapha dominating people usually have thick,black heavy hair.
To combat all the external factors that affect hair growth and to restore the natural quality of hair and promote hair growth Ayurveda recommends a series of diet, lifestyle and a correct combination of herbs.
AAHAR AS PER AYURVEDA (DIET AS PER AYURVEDA)
Hair Growth as per Ayurveda is not only an external process but also an internal process which is why diet plays a major role in overall hair health.
- Consume Amla in any form. Be it candy, pickle, chutney. An Amla a day will keep your dermatologist away.
- Make sure your digestion works well. Ayurveda says poor digestion is a result of most diseases in Ayurveda.
- Including Chayawanprash in your diet will take your hair health a long way as well.
- Get yourself tested and find out if you are deficient in any of the minerals such as Iron,Calcium, Vitamin D and then make sure to consume the right supplements.
- Proteins in your diet are a must for healthy hair.
- Find out the underlying issues such as hypothyroidism, hormonal imbalances etc and get them treated with an Ayurvedic doctor to treat secondary hairfall.
- Reduce the stress levels. Increased stress affects the hair growth and leads to hair thinning in the longer run.
- Hair oiling 2-4 hours before washing your hair will help a lot with hair fall. You can use hair oils such as Bhringraj hair oil, Neelibhringadi oil etc
- Sweat it out for the pores. A 30 minute activity daily will help you open up your scalp pore which will eventually increase hair growth.
- Washing your hair twice a week post oiling and hair packs mentioned will majorly help.
