The secret to thicker hair

The secret to thicker hair

Recent scientific research (Giesen et al., 2009) has uncovered significant changes in the composition of hair keratin as we age. By analyzing hair follicles from two distinct age groups—those over 50 and those under 25—researchers developed keratin profiles for each group. Among the six different keratin types found in human hair, two showed a notable decline in the older group.

This age-related decline in key structural proteins within the hair shaft contributes to common issues such as thinning, fragility, and difficult manageability in mature hair.

To address this, researchers applied a specialized cosmetic formula containing Coenzyme Q10—an oil-soluble bioactive known for stimulating keratin expression—to the hair follicles of aging donors. The results were striking: statistical analysis revealed an increase in age-relevant hair keratins in the treated hair roots, highlighting the beneficial effects of Coenzyme Q10 in hair care formulations.

The key to this breakthrough lies in the development of a unique formula capable of delivering oil-soluble Coenzyme Q10 to isolated hair follicles within a water-based formulation.

At Micellar Haircare, we've harnessed this research to create a scientifically advanced, water-based formulation that encapsulates Coenzyme Q10 in tiny oil particles. Once delivered to the hair follicle, Q10 stimulates the expression of essential hair keratins, particularly those diminished by the aging process. The result? Thicker, stronger, and more vibrant hair, even for those experiencing thinning due to aging.

Our REVIVE Hair Mist offers a convenient solution—a Q10-infused, water-based hair product scientifically proven to thicken and strengthen thinning hair.
