AC Hair and Scalp Complex PF

When the combing data was compared, the treated vs. untreated vs. baseline strand a 22% improvement can be seen on the side which was treated with AC Hair and Scalp Complex PF. A reduction in hair collected in just five days’ time was exhibited. Lastly, participants, when answering their questionnaire on Day 5, reported softer, smoother hair. Also, participants felt the treated side was easier to comb. This was a blind study yet participants still identified the treated side as more desirable. This data set makes it evident that AC Hair and Scalp Complex PF improves the overall health of the hair follicle which can lead to a reduction in loss of hair and an increase in the penetration potential of actives into this living portion of the hair.

Previous research shows that TGF-β1 plays a key role in follicle miniaturization, fibrosis, and eventual hair loss. It has been referred to as the “hair follicle assassin” for its deleterious effects on hair follicles. The aim of the study was to suppress/inhibit this protein such that it cannot bind to its receptor and act as a negative growth factor. AC Hair and Scalp Complex PF created an environment conducive to hair growth and follicle stimulation. The decreased concentration of TGF-1 should allow for hair shaft retention and maintenance of the follicle in the anagen growth phase. It can therefore be concluded that at normal use concentrations AC Hair and Scalp Complex PF can aid in prevention of male pattern baldness.
