For people of colour, we don’t want to dry or irritate the skin, which includes the skin on your scalp.

A dry, irritated scalp because of sub-optimal haircare is more likely to lead to hair loss, thinning, and strand fragility.

As with all Dr Vanita Rattan's products, this hair range is formulated with these principles in mind, to use ingredients less likely to harm sensitive skin of colour, whilst packing a powerful punch of active ingredients proven to improve skin and hair health & appearance.

Not for persons with a history of reactions to topical skin/hair products or overly dry/sensitive/damaged skin.

What is happening to your hair with age?

In females, by the mid-30s, there is a reduction in oestrogen levels. Oestrogen protects the hair root from the hormone testosterone.

This process speeds up at menopause and 40% of those by 70 years of age have female pattern hair loss.

The increased testosterone effect leads to thin, brittle hair, with premature hair loss.

To slow this process, you need to:

- Stimulate hair follicles.

- Improve the health of the scalp so strong, vibrant hair can grow.

- Supply the scalp with essential nutrients.

- Strengthen current hair to prevent breakage.

Please see individual hair range products for full ingredients and key ingredient functions.

See individual products for more detailed guidelines, however the running order of the complete system is:

STEP 1. Apply Cuticle Repair Conditioner, to the whole wet hair strand. Don't rinse. (Step 1 is optional for all hair types, not mandatory, but recommended for 15+ mins for hair type 4c or damaged hair).

STEP 2. Wet hair and apply Thickening Shampoo to the scalp. Rinse off after 1 min.

STEP 3. Apply Cuticle Repair Conditioner, to the whole hair strand. Rinse off after 2 mins.

STEP 4. Apply Protect & Shield Conditioner, to the whole hair strand. Leave in. (Rec. daily for hair type 4c).

STEP 5. Apply Strand Strengthening Oil, from 2 inches from the scalp to hair tip. Leave in. (Rec. daily for hair type 4c). Can be used before/after heat-styling.

STEP 6. Spray Anagen Boost Scalp Tonic directly on to thinning hair patches. Leave in.

Please note, Steps 1-5 should be on the days you wash the hair (max. 2-3 times per week).

Step 6 can be on the hair washing days or every day.

Ideally dry hair after showering with a micro fibre towel, to minimise drying time when hair is weakest.

1. How long do Dr. V Hair Range products last for?

This will vary for each product and person, however, if usage guidelines are followed, the average duration may be 6-12 weeks approx.

2. Is the Hair Range suitable for pregnancy & breastfeeding?

Yes.

3a. Is the Hair Range suitable for an oily scalp?

If moderately oily you can try the range, but avoid if very oily i.e. gets greasy within 24 hours of washing.

3b. Is the Hair Range suitable for dandruff?

The hair range may help with moderate dandruff, but it is not sufficient for severe dandruff.

3c. Is the Hair Range suitable for dry/itchy scalp?

The Anagen Boost Hair Tonic is not suitable in this case, but the other Hair Range products are.

3d. Is the Hair Range suitable for colour dyed / bleached hair?

Yes, and it would be actively beneficial for this, to renourish and rebuild the hair strand damaged by the above.

3e. Is the Hair Range suitable for hair that is not thinning or brittle?

Yes, it can be used on all hair types except for for where the scalp gets greasy easily (see 3a above).

4a. Can you use the Hair Range whilst using other Dr. V or 3rd Party skin products on the face / body.

Yes.

4b. Can you mix & match the Hair Range with 3rd party haircare products?

You would not need to use any other cosmetic treatment products on the scalp/hair, as the Dr. V Hair Range has all the active ingredients you need.

If prescribed scalp medications are being used, please wait until finished before starting/resuming Dr. V Hair Range.

5a. Can I use the Hair Range whilst on Isotretinoin/Roaccutane?

No, please wait until 6 months after completion to use Dr. V Hair Range.

5b. Can I use the Hair Range whilst on Red Light Therapy (RLT)?

Please wait 24 hours before applying the Hair Tonic to the scalp after RLT, and only if the scalp is not feeling sensitive.

6. Can I apply Hair Range products during the day?

Yes the product range is safe to wear during the day (as opposed to hyperpigmentation kits, which are not).

7. Which products go on the scalp and which on the whole hair strand?

SCALP: Shampoo*, Tonic.

HAIR: Conditioners, Oil.

*The Shampoo is for direct application to the scalp, not for all of the hair strand. The reason we suggest this is to not the strip the hair of moisture; surfactants in the shampoo remove grime & dirt, but on the hair strand this can be drying (all shampoos).

8. Why does the range contain sulfates/sulphates (same)?

We have no general concerns with sulfates (nor is there sufficient evidence to support this), it depends on the type and how they are used.

For example, Sodium Laureth Sulfate is used safely and effectively in our Shampoo as an excellent cleaning agent, which helps to clear the scalp of grime to allow hair to grow. This is substantially different from Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, which we do not recommend.

9. How long does it take to see results?

The timeline below may be broadly applicable to most users:

Immediately (1-3 uses): Hair is easier to detangle, feels smoother/silkier and looks shinier.

After 4 weeks: hair feels thicker, split ends reduced, frizz reduced.

For enhanced benefits, particularly hair length, strength and new growth, combine with Dr. V Collagen Boost and use consistently.
