Through this article, we will discover the benefits of dietary supplements for your hair, but above all how to take care of your hair. 

Finally, we will present the treatments adapted to each problem that your hair may encounter.

1.1 Hair

Hair is a natural fiber that grows from hair follicles located in the skin of the scalp.

Hair growth is a natural process that can be influenced by many factors, such as age, sex, genetics, diet, stress, and hormonal changes. Hair is composed of 95% keratin, a protein that helps build, protect, and cement the hair fiber and gives it strength and elasticity.

The life cycle of a hair is a long process lasting several years.

• First, each hair is born under the skin of the scalp, in a hair follicle, and grows slowly. This hair growth period corresponds to the anagen phase. The hair grows about 1 cm per month.

• Then follows the catagen phase where the hair stops growing. It is then that a new hair grows in the same hair follicle.

• The telogen phase is the final stage corresponding to the resting period. The hair remains attached to its follicle for about 3 months before eventually falling out during shampooing or brushing.

This hair life cycle can repeat up to 25 times in all hair follicles, unless a disorder disrupts it.

We lose between 50 to 80 hairs each day; beyond this number, the cycle is disrupted and it is a pathological hair loss problem, the most common of which is androgenetic alopecia or baldness, in both women and men.

Hormonal fluctuations, pregnancies, menopause, stress, free radicals... Our hormones, especially androgens, the male hormones, are closely linked and their disruption can cause the hair bulb to work slowly, leading to hormonal hair loss and brittle, damaged hair.

Hair is also rich in melanin, a pigment that gives it its color. The structure of hair can vary among individuals, with differences in thickness, texture, and shape of the hair.

1.2 D-LAB Hair Dietary Supplements

White hair or colored hair, fine hair or thick hair, short hair or long hair: no matter your hair type, to have a healthy mane you need to take care of our hair fiber.

Hair is made up of 95% keratin, a protein that helps cement the hair fiber, build it, and protect it. To have beautiful hair, one must act from within by providing the nutrients that make up the hair fiber, as nutrition takes place at the bulb level.

External treatments only act on the outer layer of the fiber to protect it. Therefore, it is necessary to provide daily and in sufficient quantity all the essential nutrients, namely trace elements such as magnesium, iron, copper, B vitamins, and sulfur-containing amino acids such as l-cystine, l-methionine, m-lysine. These nutrients are supplied by a balanced diet but also by nutritional supplementation since, due to our modern lifestyle, diet alone unfortunately no longer provides them in sufficient quantity.

This results in dry, brittle hair lacking shine, and worse, can lead to more or less significant hair loss. With our natural dietary supplements, we help you have thicker hair full of vitality!

D-LAB dietary supplements for hair are high-quality supplements that contain premium hyper-sourced active ingredients, certified and traceable, and above all clinically proven, specially formulated to help nourish hair follicles and improve hair health.

The main advantage of D-LAB supplements is that they help provide essential nutrients to your hair that can be difficult to obtain from diet or hair care alone, as some areas cannot be reached externally.

Indeed, hair care has a superficial and short-term effect on the lengths and not on new regrowth.

Our dietary supplements work deeply and in the long term because they nourish the fiber from the root.

D-LAB dietary supplements have many essential benefits for the health of your hair:

Antioxidants are compounds that help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, which can harm hair follicles. Plant extracts such as tea tree oil and saw palmetto extract have antioxidant properties and may help prevent hair loss.

The D-LAB hair supplements provide you with essential nutrients in natural and concentrated formulas to help you regain thicker hair.

We all dream of having thicker, healthier hair. Nothing worse than having flat hair, lacking volume! 

But how to have voluminous and shiny hair all without extensions? Before piling on styling products, you need to start by looking at what's on your plate. 

Indeed, it is in our diet that we find the nutrients that will strengthen our hair from the inside. Hair is made up of 95% keratin, itself composed of amino acids such as L-Cystine, L-Methionine, or L-Lysine, B vitamins, and trace minerals like zinc, iron, copper, or magnesium. 

These compounds are found in dried vegetables, whole grains, as well as egg yolk and vegetable oils, foods rich in omega-3, essential fatty acids for having beautiful hair. Omega-3 help hair follicles grow and strengthen to gain volume. Unfortunately, modern diet no longer provides enough nutrients.

That is why supplementation has become essential to repair damaged hair and make it grow faster.

The modern lifestyle, poor diet, as well as unstable hormones, such as during menopause, can cause the hair bulb to work slowly, leading to hair loss, a sensitive scalp, and damaged hair.

At D-LAB, our range of dietary supplements 100% natural for hair, in the form of capsules or tablets, suitable for all hair types to allow you to address a specific issue and its causes.

For stronger and more voluminous hair, it is essential to deeply nourish the fiber with the building blocks of keratin, which make up 95% of the hair. Supplementation provides these active ingredients in large quantities to create beautiful and strong hair fibers.

To add volume and say goodbye to flat hair, our range of hair dietary supplements combines targeted ingredients such as spirulina, vitamin B, and vitamin E to stimulate the bulb and hair follicle, making your hair silky. 

These formulas stimulate and tone the scalp by activating blood circulation to promote hydration and hair growth. 

By providing pure keratin, the main component of the hair fiber, our dietary supplement l’Absolu de Kératine targets not only hair loss but also acts as a natural strengthening agent. Our natural capsules are suitable for all hair types: dry or oily hair, long or short hair, fine or curly hair…

To restore volume to your hair, combine dietary supplements with a suitable hair care routine using a shampoo, a conditioner, and volumizing hair products without silicones and without chemicals. 

Space out shampoos as much as possible and use a dry shampoo to lift the roots and add volume to the hair. However, be careful not to accumulate styling products and to rinse hair treatments thoroughly to avoid excess sebum and weighing down the hair.

Whether it is temporary during seasonal changes or more persistent as in the case of androgenetic alopecia, to combat hair mass loss it is important to address the different causes simultaneously.

While external anti-hair loss treatments mainly target strengthening the hair bulb, the hair loss dietary supplement works deeply on internal causes and strengthens the hair fiber from within.

It is essential to bring pure keratin into the bloodstream, which makes up 95% of the hair fiber, as well as the active ingredients that allow the bulb to produce it: B vitamins, sulfur-containing amino acids, and trace elements.

This is the role of our hair dietary supplements in the form of capsules or tablets. To stop hair loss and regain beautiful, shiny, and full of vitality hair, our anti-hair loss formulas are 100% natural.

They provide essential nutrients such as keratin to slow hair loss, l-cystine to strengthen the fiber, stinging nettle to stimulate regrowth, and zinc for the hair. We recommend at least 3 months of treatment to activate cellular memory in the bulbs.

And if I want to strengthen my hair and prevent this phenomenon, I combine my treatment with paraben-free hair care products, I massage my scalp with essential oils (castor, cedar, rosemary...) to activate microcirculation, and I adopt a diet rich in iron, copper, fatty acids, zinc, and vitamin B.

Pregnancy, menopause, the pill, thyroid dysfunction, or stress... these hormonal upheavals can also cause hair loss known as "hormonal". It is essential to act at the source by rebalancing the neuro-hormonal system to stop the hair loss permanently.

The scalp is a very delicate area that requires our full attention to prevent dandruff, itching, and excess sebum. It is essential to maintain good microcirculation and purify it from within by providing highly targeted active ingredients.

Discover our range of dietary supplements targeted at dry and sensitive scalp to prevent dandruff, itching, and excess sebum.

Oily hair, dry dandruff, flakes, eczema, psoriasis... our scalp is a very delicate area that demands all our attention. 

To have healthy hair, you must first take care of the scalp, where the bulb and hair follicles are located. 

The causes of a dry and sensitive scalp are numerous: external aggressions, pollution, harsh shampoo with sulfate, accumulation of hair products. 

Result: These aggressions alter the hydrolipidic film and dandruff, pimples, and crusts appear. 

These scalp crusts are often caused by acne pimples that appear following a strong production of sebum by the sebaceous glands. The excess sebum dilates the pores of the scalp and causes inflammation of the hair follicles. 

This sebum production can notably occur after using styling products containing irritating agents such as silicones. It is essential to maintain good blood circulation in the micro-vessels and to soothe the scalp from within by providing all of these active ingredients.

Our range of hair dietary supplements brings together different formulas to combat scalp problems and their causes. It is at the heart of the scalp that the delivery of nutrients and oxygen necessary for hair growth takes place.

• The Detox Microcirculation is a plant-based formula that promotes the elimination of toxins, boosts blood circulation, and facilitates the delivery of essential nutrients to the heart of the bulb to prevent greasy dandruff, itching, and excess sebum.
• The omega-3s in our Absolu Omégas 3 help reduce inflammation of very dry scalp.

For healthy hair fibers and shiny hair, our Growth Complex deeply nourishes the hair bulb by providing it with a high dose of all the active components of keratin.

• L ’Absolu de Zinc provides a high dose of zinc, a trace mineral that ensures a healthy scalp and has soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits to calm irritated scalp. Our hair supplements are taken as a treatment for a minimum of 3 months to achieve lasting and optimal results.

Thanks to our hair supplement treatments, you regain the desired hair volume, your hair regains all its health and becomes as strong and shiny as before this massive exposure to the sun and all those factors deteriorating your hair beauty.

1. Winter maintenance

In winter, hair is often exposed to harsh weather conditions that can dry it out and weaken it. It is therefore essential to deeply hydrate it with nourishing masks and vegetable oils. Protecting the hair from the cold by wearing a hat or scarf can also help prevent damage.

2. How to take care of your hair in summer

In summer, hair is exposed to the sun, sea salt, and pool chlorine, which can dry it out and damage it. Using UV protective products, rinsing hair after swimming, and regularly moisturizing with masks and oils are essential precautions to maintain healthy hair.

3. Summer care

To take care of your hair in summer, it is recommended to use light and moisturizing products that do not weigh down the hair fiber. Hydrating sprays, dry oils, and after-sun masks are perfect for nourishing and protecting hair from summer aggressions.
