Thinning hair is a common concern, and we understand the distress it can cause. Introducing Serum and Shampooing Énergisant, two revolutionary products crafted to reduce hair thinning, equalize the scalp, protect against pollutants, and combat graying.
As with all Leonor Greyl products, these two contain the cleanest, most effective combination of natural ingredients for hair and scalp health. Serum Énergisant’s highlights include green tea and Indian gooseberry, as well as maca and rosemary extracts. Moringa seed protein, almond protein, and Indian plum give Shampooing Énergisant its volume, balancing, and shine properties.
We spoke with Leonor Greyl’s Director of Research and Development David Brooks to learn more about the new products, why they are so effective, and how to best use them.
Let’s start with the Serum Énergisant. What is the story behind its development?
I started working on it seven years ago, as our suppliers began sending me new ingredients that help with hair thinning. Simultaneously, we were hearing from many clients about their own concerns about hair loss, so it felt like the perfect time to create a product with these ingredients that was modern, efficient and addressed a host of hair issues.
I began collecting and testing the ingredients, ensuring they worked correctly. For instance, ingredients with either alcohol or oil had to be eliminated. Alcohol dries out the scalp and hair and can nullify the effects of the healthy ingredients; oil can detract from the aesthetic impact a product has on the hair. The product was tested once I found the right ingredients and ensured they were stable. The feedback was enthusiastic, and the results were noticeable.
Can it be used preventively, or is it designed to address problems once they arise?
It’s a product that is very adaptable. You can use it preventatively for anti-graying or anti-pollution effects. It can be used daily for something like an irritated or oily scalp, dandruff, or just as problems occur.
Who is the product designed for, and who will get the most benefit?
People who suffer the most from hair thinning will benefit from this serum. Most significantly, it prolongs the life cycle of the hair. Hair will be stronger, stay longer, and fall more slowly. New hair growing in will also not fall out nearly as quickly because the base structure of the follicle will be sturdier and healthier.
What is unique about this product in the market?
The Serum Energisant harnesses the power of cutting-edge ingredients to combat the root cause of hair loss, offering hope for those seeking an effective remedy. It’s a multifaceted product that targets hair thinning and graying, helps balance the scalp and protects the scalp from environmental irritants. It also fights dandruff and sebum buildup.
Can you use it in a focused area, rather than over the entire head?
Yes, you can apply it to areas that you want to treat. Areas where you are experiencing hair thinning, graying, or irritated scalp. You could apply it just in that area or zone. While hair thinning happens, you should use the serum two or three times a week as a cure for two to three months, followed by once a week as a preventive measure. For anti-graying, use it consistently once per week.
How quickly can you expect to see results?
You should see improvements in hair thinning in the first couple of weeks as less hair falls out. However, significant results appear after the first month and even more into the second or third month. Due to its calming effect, you will notice a difference in the first 24 hours for an irritated scalp, most likely at application. Anti-graying results will appear later with new hair growth. Timing for results varies depending on the individual.
Moving on to Shampooing Énergisant, what is the story behind this product?
We felt we didn’t have a specific shampoo for people with hair thinning. We needed a shampoo for all hair types with this issue, which would also improve the quality of the scalp. Whether the scalp is irritated, oily, or experiencing dandruff, this shampoo has a balancing effect while giving more boost and volume.
Can it be used preventively, or is it designed to address problems once they arise?
It is a versatile shampoo, and for those already using it, they have had great results. It works for all hair and scalp types. It can be used daily as a preventative measure or as needed when a problem arises.
Talk about the ingredients in this shampoo and what they do.
Honey yeast is a new modern ingredient on the market that gives the hair a conditioning and volume-boosting effect. Moringa seed and almond proteins give strength to the lengths and ends and shine. The Indian plum extract balances and equalizes the scalp.
What is unique about this shampoo compared to others?
For over 50 years, Leonor Greyl products have been formulated with high-grade ingredients that produce beautiful and lasting results. In keeping with our principle, this new formula has an even higher concentration of effective and result-producing plant extracts. The Shampooing Energisant is the first Leonor Greyl shampoo that is genuinely beneficial and effective for all hair types and scalp conditions. It is sulfate-free and formulated with 96% natural ingredients. It helps thicken the hair shaft in density, promoting thicker, fuller hair and protecting against environmental irritants. Ultimately, it creates the optimum scalp condition for the Serum to work its magic.
How do you recommend using it?
Our formulas are concentrated and require minimal product amount. A little goes a long way! The shampoo can be used daily or as you wish. It is very flexible. What is important to remember is that using this duo together is the key to maximizing conditions critical to maintaining a healthy scalp environment, avoiding premature hair loss, and reducing dandruff, an overabundance of sebum, and graying.
If you’re one of the millions experiencing hair thinning, know that you’re not alone. And know that by maintaining healthy habits, including the right care of your scalp and hair, some of those effects can be reversed!
