Oxidative stress: the main cause of poor scalp health and hair aging

Oxidative stress emerges as the predominant instigator of diminished scalp health and accelerated hair aging (Trüeb et al., 2018). This phenomenon arises from an imbalance between antioxidants, which neutralize harmful free radicals, and these radicals themselves (Trüeb, 2021).Within the scalp, oxidative stress instigates a cascade of cellular damage, resulting in inflammation, compromised circulation, and follicular impairment.Consequently, the scalp becomes prone to various ailments such as dandruff, itching, and sensitivity.

Moreover, oxidative stress exacts its toll on hair follicles, disrupting their normal function and leading to a plethora of adverse effects on hair quality. Hair growth diminishes, while strands become increasingly brittle, prone to breakage, and devoid of lustre. Premature greying also becomes a common occurrence.

Recognizing the critical role of oxidative stress in scalp and hair health, Micellar Haircare has developed specialized formulations to combat this menace. Our Q10 Revive product leverages advanced ingredients and technologies to neutralize free radicals, restore balance to the scalp's microenvironment, and fortify hair follicles against damage. By addressing the underlying cause of poor scalp health and hair aging, our products rejuvenate the scalp, promote robust hair growth, and restore vitality and radiance to the hair, ensuring optimal health and beauty from root to tip.
