Retinol, peptides, antioxidants, niacinamide, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid—these are likely staples in your anti-aging skincare routine for your face. However, when it comes to hair care, our scalps age faster than the skin on our faces, yet most of us tend to overlook the aging process affecting our scalps.

As the scalp ages, it may feel drier and more dehydrated, and the skin tends to thin, leading to reduced blood flow to the scalp. This diminished blood flow can affect the hair follicles, potentially causing hair thinning or shedding. Additionally, scalp aging contributes to a slowdown in melanin production, resulting in the emergence of more gray hairs as we get older.

While we cannot entirely halt the aging process, incorporating certain key ingredients into our hair care routines can help slow down scalp aging and maintain strong, glossy, and healthy hair. Here are some ingredients to look for when selecting scalp care products and treatments:

PDRN (Salmon PDRN)

Salmon PDRN, also known as salmon DNA, is enriched with nourishing elements such as polypeptides, amino acids, and vitamins. Known for promoting cell growth and tissue regeneration, PDRN addresses issues like hair loss and thinning. Its biocompatible nature ensures long-term safety. You can introduce this healing ingredient into your routine with regular treatments at Papilla Scalp Care centers, where it is a key component in exclusive solutions like the S.E.P Activator.

Copper Tripeptide-1

Featured in the Papilla Hair Regeneration Tonic with PhytoKines (4 to 6) and Hair Regeneration Conditioner, Copper Tripeptide-1 penetrates deeper skin layers, stimulating blood flow to the hair follicles. This stimulation encourages hair growth and reduces irritation and inflammation, contributing to a decrease in hair fall.

Antioxidants: Ubiquinone, glutathione, and ascorbic acid act as antioxidants, neutralizing free radicals in the body. Ascorbic acid also aids in collagen production. Free radicals, formed during daily activities, can cause cellular damage leading to aging. Combat this damage and slow down aging with products like the Hair Regeneration Tonic with PhytoKines (Hair Loss 4 to 6), Regeneration Scalp Mask, and Papilla Haircare shampoos and conditioners, all containing these antioxidants.

Tuber Fleeceflower Extract

A vital component of the proprietary Phyto Revive Complex in Papilla Haircare, found in Hair Rewind shampoos and conditioner masks. This botanical ingredient prolongs the hair's anagen (growing) phase by increasing the number and size of hair follicles, promoting hair growth. It also activates melanin production to reduce greying and maintain hair color.

Candlenut/Kukui Nut Extract

A part of the Pre-M ingredient in Hair Rewind Anti-Greying shampoos and conditioner masks, candlenut extract gradually deposits natural dark plant pigments to the hair follicles. This preserves natural hair color, leaving it lush and glossy for an extended period.
