5,6-DHI repigments the hair
5,6-Dihydroxyindole, or 5,6-DHI for short, is a preliminary stage of the natural hair pigment melanin. When applied, 5,6-DHI binds directly to the hair, penetrates the hair shaft, and forms colour molecule chains in the hair with oxygen. The hair becomes darker.
Additionally, caffeine stimulates the hair root
Caffeine has been known for over 20 years for its stimulating effect on hair roots. It inhibits the breakdown of the intracellular messenger cAMP. As a result, more energy is available to the cells and cell growth is stimulated.
Caffeine is thus one of the most researched active ingredient of plant origin in hair science.
Complementary Active Ingredients
Zinc and niacinamide promote energy metabolism and can help provide better nutrient supply to the hair roots.
