How do you choose the best hair growth set?

Your hair is getting thinner and you want to do something about it. So you search the internet and end up in a tangle of hair growth sets. They all promise to help you get a full and healthy head of hair again. But what should you pay attention to when choosing a hair growth set? How do you choose the best one that actually does something for you?

In this blog we will help you with tips on what to look out for when making a choice.

Hair growth sets with dermaroller

Before you buy a hair growth kit, make sure that it contains a dermaroller in addition to a hair growth serum or lotion. The reason you want a kit that includes a dermaroller is that microneedling stimulates your blood circulation.
This is because the needles create tiny holes in your scalp, allowing the hair growth serum to penetrate deeper and closer to the hair follicles. Dermarolling also significantly improves the supply of oxygen and other essential nutrients.

But a dermaroller set alone is not enough. Also make sure that the hair growth kit you buy contains the right dermaroller.

Many sets come with dermarollers with very short needles of 0.5 mm or even 0.3 mm. These are short needles that can be used on the delicate skin of your face, neck or around the eyes. For use on the thicker scalp (where hair also grows) these needles are too short to be really effective. That is why you will find a dermaroller with needles of 1.2 mm in the LAYZIN Hair Growth SET. This has been specially developed for the thicker skin of, for example, the head and body.

Ingredients of serums or lotions

Okay, now that you've narrowed down your choice to a hair growth kit that includes a dermaroller, there's still plenty of choice. The next thing to look for is the quality of the serum (or lotion) that's in the kit. You can do this by looking at what the active ingredient is and in what concentration it's in the product.
The main ingredient in LAYZIN SERUM 06 is Capixyl™ . This consists of biomimetic peptide and red clover. This substance helps to prevent hair loss caused by male hormones (also in women!). This DHT hormone is the cause of your hair follicles shrinking and eventually dying. And that is what you should try to prevent.

Capixyl™ and other active ingredients are often used in hair growth products. However, not all in the same or desired high concentration.
So always pay attention to the percentage of the active ingredient Capixyl™ in the hair growth serum . LAYZIN SERUM 06 contains no less than 5% Capixyl. Even half of this percentage is not achieved in every hair growth serum. Products are offered with values ​​ranging from 0.5 to 2.5%.

It goes without saying that there is a good chance that the effectiveness of these types of sets will be less and will also take longer.

A hair growth set with shampoo, does it work?

There are also many hair growth kits on the market with shampoos and conditioners that claim to make your hair grow better. Unfortunately, this is not true.

These products often work on the basis of caffeine, which would affect the functioning of DHT. However, research shows that the amount of caffeine required is so high that this is not feasible from a shampoo.
In addition, a shampoo is on the scalp for too short a time . The shampoo therefore never reaches the hair follicles that you want to reach.

It is not without reason that LAYZIN is the expert in the field of microneedling, with which the serums do reach where they need to be. These so-called hair growth stimulating shampoos and conditioners will not bring you what you hope for.

Last but not least, hygienic derma rolling

Very important but often underexposed: hygiene when dermarolling. Does the set have a cleaning spray to clean the needles of your roller head?

You might think, 'you can just put it under the tap?'. That is indeed possible to rinse off a speck of dirt. But what about the bacteria that end up on the dermaroller?

Because you make small holes in the scalp when dermarolling, it is important to clean the roller head both before and after the treatment. To do this really hygienically, water alone is not enough. So always use a spray with disinfecting properties such as the LAYZIN Cleansing Spray . It is therefore important that your chosen hair growth set is supplied with a bottle of hygienic cleansing spray with a large capacity.

If you follow the advice in this blog, you can make a responsible choice for a hair growth set that does what it promises. Of course, the LAYZIN Hair Growth SET meets all the criteria we described above because the sets have been developed and put together by experts and a cosmetic doctor.
