Living Proof® Scalp Care Density Serum £54 50ml

Launched this Summer 24, was the anticipated Living Proof® Scalp Care Density Serum. As a brand that I have used, since they stocked in one of the first Space NK’s in the UK, my loyalty remains as it’s a brand that delivers on their promises. The brand came together in the US, after a team of ‘world-class’ scientists pioneered the way in creating solutions to hair problems rather than disguising them. The brand has won over 200 awards and has over 120 patents, that puts them in a leading position in the field of hair health. 

This product is something that I have been waiting for since I hit my 40s (I’m now 52). Not only does it help regain thicker, fuller hair but it actually decreases new grey hair growth! Studies over 90 days with 30 participants showed 

‘100% experienced thicker-looking hair, 76% experienced a decrease in new grey hair growth, 70% reduction in visible hair shedding and 35% increase in hair density’.

Some of these active ingredients include antioxidants, amino acids alongside other beneficial extracts such as:-

• Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract - helps prevent greying of hair, reduces hair fall out, moisturises the scalp, helps with hair regrowth. 
• Saccharmoyces Ferment Lysate Filtrate - derived from yeast, this boosts hydration, this anti-oxidant is full of essential minerals and amino acids. 
• Pisum Sativum (Pea) Extract - clinically proven to help stimulate hair growth and reduce hair loss.
• Pullulan - puts a protective film on hair, reducing hair and protecting it from environmental aggressors. 
• Zinc Sulfate - used as a treatment for alopecia.
• Quercus Robur Bark Extract - aka the English Oak tree, helps combat dandruff and also strengthens weak, fragile hair. 
• Larix Europaea Wood Extract - contains sugar molecules that act as a humectant so draws moisture to the hair, it also helps stimulate hair follicles to encourage growth.
• Zinc Gluconate - again stimulates the hair follicles and encourages hair to growth thicker and more dense. Often if we are lacking in Zinc it will affect our hair growth.
• Amaranthus Caudatus Seed Extract - high in Lysine an amino acid that helps keep the hair strong.
• Urticaria Dioica (Nettle) Leaf Extract - contains many vitamins such as A, B, C, D and E so helps protect the hair from UV damage and damaging aggressors such as pollution. It also helps with scalp inflammation and has antimicrobial properties.
• Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein - contains B vitamins, amino acids all that help strengthen fine, fragile hair. 
• Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract - aka Green Tea, an ingredient that not only stimulates digestion but also stimulates the scalp. It also leaves hair very soft and shiny!
• Vitis Vinefera (Grape) Seed Extract - this lightweight extract gives shine to dull hair types without weighing the hair down.

Now I don’t get paid for writing reviews, I also am not ‘asked’ to do advertorials or put products out to review. I simply write about products that I personally like and I know that will deliver results, as (especially when writing in the press), I have a reputation to keep up!

Therefore, I do like to test everything before I put it to review. On this instant I haven’t had the time to give this the full benefit. However, I have passed it on to my mother, who due to losing my dad a while ago, has seen a dramatic loss in her hair density due to grief. 

This also leads me to say that there are so many factors that contribute to hair loss and it’s not just age. 

• Illness (medications), side effects of treatments.
• Hormones (especially during pregnancy and menopause).
• Stress, which can affect our eating habits so we may not be getting the right nutrients.
• Lifestyle such as smoking, drinking and burning the candles at both ends.
• Grief, anxiety and depression can all affect our hair health. Shock can turn our hair grey, the fight or flight response we have when faced with trauma or stress plays a key role in turning our hair grey. 

So I look forward to seeing the results on my mother and I will update accordingly. It’s easy to apply just a couple of drops massaged into a wet or dry scalp daily. The product is Sulphate-free, PETA certified cruelty-free, Silicone-free, Paraben-free, Formaldeyhde-free and safe for all hair types.
