Biotin Hair Growth

Biotin hair growth - One of the main supplement to increase hair growth are vitamin. Biotin is classified in B-complex vitamin which is water-soluble and is easily absorbed by the body from the food we eat.
biotin hair growth

All organisms need biotin for the proper functioning of the body and are synthesized by the useful bacteria in our body. Other major sources of biotin include foods like green peas, oats, brewer’s yeast, soybeans, sunflower seeds, brown rice and walnuts. Scientific studies have proven that there is a connection between biotin and hair loss as it is an essential component for the proper of human hair growth. A deficiency of this vitamin results in unhealthy and damaged hair which is easily breakable, ultimately causing loss of hair.

The Biotin Absorption


Biotin is usually easily absorbed in to the body, but the absorption gets affected if the food contains more proteins. When the food has high content of proteins, the assimilation of biotin from the food decreases as biotin quickly binds with proteins and this is not available for the body needs. This will ultimately result in the deficiency or scarcity of biotin and hair loss will start to occur. So, in order to have better biotin absorption it is better to reduce raw eggs, protein powders and other protein rich items from the diet. Using biotin rich shampoos are very effective in reducing hair loss. Individuals with A type blood are advised to take biotin supplements as they can’t absorb B vitamins properly from the diet.

Biotin Supplements for hair growth


biotin hair growth

Biotin supplements are regarded by many to be the most effective natural products that will be able to combat hair loss. Biotin and hair loss are said to go hand in hand as they are used both as a hair growth vitamin and is also used to prevent excessive hair loss. The fatty acids which are responsible for the growth of various components of the body including hair are metabolized by using of biotin. If a person is deficient in Vitamin B complex, especially Vitamin B6, biotin, folic acid, pantothenic acid and niacin, then hair loss will be prominent in the person. Severe deficiency of biotin causes reduced growth of eyelashes as well as eye brows. The deficiency of biotin can be prevented by taking 5 to 8 grams of Biotin supplements twice daily.

Biotin is necessary for the proper metabolism of fats and amino acids in the body and work by attaching to the carboxylase enzymes that catalyzes metabolic reactions in the body. A part from causing hair loss, the biotin deficiency also results in weak and brittle nails as well as unhealthy skin. So, biotin is very useful in hair loss treatment and some skin disorders. Biotin can be used in hair loss treatment because It does not have any proven side effects. The availability of biotin from the food is very minimal and hence taking biotin supplements and using biotin enriched shampoos are advised for people with severe hair loss problems.

Recommended daily intake of Biotin


The daily recommendation for the dietary intake of biotin varies from children to adults. The infants falling within the age group of 0 to 12 months require a daily dosage of 5 to 6 mcg per day. Children between the age group of 1 to 8 years will require about 8 mcg to 12 mcg per day. An adequate intake of about 20 mcg per day is recommended for children who fall in the age group of 9 to 13 years. In the adolescent years, a daily intake of 25 mcg per day of biotin supplements is prescribed by the Food and Nutrition board. For adults and pregnant females, 30 mcg per day is the optimal level of intake of biotin. A breast feeding mother has to consume at least 35 mcg of biotin a day to maintain a glowing skin, healthy nails and well grown hairs. As deficiency of biotin and hair loss are related, proper balance of biotin levels in the body is necessary to prevent hair loss.

Dandruff Solutions by Bioken

Nature’s Secret for Flake-Free Hair 

Suffering from dandruff or a dry, itchy scalp? Let Bioken Enfanti’s botanical formula help soothe and heal your scalp and leave healthy, flake-free hair. Simply start with Bioken Enfanti Scalpi to deep cleanse your hair and scalp and follow up with Antiruff Dandruff Toner on a daily basis. Strands will be left soft, shiny and fabulously flake-free. 


Enfanti Scalpi is a refreshing massage emulsion that provides gentle exfoliation of oxidized oils and dirt on the scalp. It purifies, stimulates and fortifies the scalp and hair with natural active ingredients such as ginseng, henna, horseradish and saponaria extracts. Scalpi detoxifies the hair and scalp and also soothes and heals dry, itchy skin. Specially formulated to emulsify residue, it nourishes hair and scalp with vitamins, minerals and nutrients, which helps to promote healthy hair growth. 

Sebum, which is natural oil produced by glands in the skin, and cholesterol can build up, oxidize and harden, eventually clogging pores and hair follicles on the scalp. This blockage prevents hair from growing. A lack of circulation to the scalp can also contribute to hair loss. It weakens hair follicles and attracts the male hormone DHT, which is strongly linked to male pattern baldness.

Deep cleansing and good circulation are essential to a healthy scalp and hair growth. Ginseng is a key ingredient in Enfanti Scalpi and is responsible for stimulating hair and scalp and improving circulation. It is also one of several antioxidant ingredients that are effective against free radical damage.

Also a powerful antioxidant, horseradish extract improves the regeneration of hair roots, has disinfecting properties and helps rid hair and scalp of impurities. Saponaria, a mild antiseptic, naturally destroys bacteria and helps control dandruff and even lice. Henna, another antioxidant, is also a natural clay conditioner that heals the hair shaft. Proven effective for hair maintenance, it repairs and seals the cuticle and leaves hair smooth, glossy and appearing thicker.

Other ingredients include menthol as well as nettle, chamomile, and saponaria extracts. Menthol, which is derived from mint, has anesthetic properties and is widely used to relieve minor irritations. Nettle deep cleanses and provides a protective coating that strengthens the hair shaft. It also helps to repair chemically damaged hair and stimulates hair growth. Chamomile offers calming, cooling and soothing effects as well as anti-inflammatory benefits.

The mild cream formula of Enfanti Scalpi is suggested for normal to dry hair or sensitive skin while the liquid (water) version, which contains artichoke extract for added detoxification, is more intensive and is best suited for oily hair.

To deep clean hair and scalp, use Enfanti Scalpi as needed before shampooing. Simply apply onto dry scalp and massage into hair and scalp for a few minutes. Rinse thoroughly, cleanse with appropriate Enfanti Shampoo and follow with Enfanti Conditioner or Enfanti Treatment.

The 8oz. bottle of Enfanti Scalpi retails for $21.00.

Enfanti Antiruff Dandruff Toner is a tonic for the treatment of dandruff. It relieves itching and irritation, calms and soothes scalp, and controls the reoccurrence of flaking and itching associated with dandruff. The antimicrobial effect of various essential oils prevents excessive flaking and stimulates circulation, improving the epidermal health of the scalp. Excess sebum is gently eliminated and hair follicles and scalp are stimulated and revitalized.

Enfanti Antiruff Dandruff Toner contains tea tree and neem oils, bee propolis, and hops extract. Green tea is highly regarded for its potent antioxidants and anti-aging properties. It contains a powerful antioxidant called epigallocatecin gallate (EGCG), which is known to help stimulate hair growth. Green tea also helps scalp conditions such as dandruff and psoriasis by soothing skin and reducing inflammation.

Neem oil is a natural anti-bacterial and antiseptic with detoxification properties. It’s an ideal natural insecticide as it disrupts the breeding process of head lice. A powerful moisturizer, neem oil controls dandruff and offers soothing for a dry, itchy scalp.

Bee propolis is high in vitamins B, E, C, H, P, pro-vitamins and flavanoids, which are known to have antibacterial and antibiotic qualities. It also stimulates hair growth and reinforces hair’s natural defenses to help cure and prevent split ends.

Hops extract is rich in vitamin and various amino acids. It has antiseptic properties and fights scalp problems such as dandruff and weakening or brittle hair.

Use Enfanti Antiruff Dandruff Toner once or twice daily, preferably after shampooing. Apply a few drops directly onto your scalp and gently massage in with your fingertips for about three minutes. Do not rinse out.

My Thoughts
Simple packaging (in a good way)! I love the half-stars on each product that seem to only be complete when the other bottle in the duo sits near.

There’s a rich, almost yummy scent and a lavish feel to the creamy texture and pearly consistency. The shampoo softly lathers and feels so good on your hair and body…I must confess that I used some as a bubble bath and body wash and I found the descriptor, decadent, was dead-on!

The conditioner coats and soaks in well, leaving hair feeling soft and smooth with a nicely lingering aroma. Worked well on my thick hair, offering a bit of relief for the occasional frizz. The only complaint is getting it out of the bottle. Storing it upside down seems to help or adding a little warm water and allowing it to dilute slightly does too.

Interested in a little luxury for your locks? Try this duo for yourself. 
Buy it: http://www.enjoyhaircare.com/locate-an-enjoy-salon

Win it: One lucky US-based winner will receive a 10 oz size each of the ENJOY Luxury Shampoo and Conditioner to try for themselves. A $51.98 retail value! Enter below:

During this period it will feel itchy and dirty on your scalp because of dust and oily. Well, to clear up the itchy scalp, choose scalp care products that not clog to the pores or cause buildup such as anti-itch scalp oil and organic root stimulator herbal cleanser. Pour both products are each as much as a drop on a piece of cotton, and apply little by little to the scalp.

Tea tree oil is actually the most appropriate choice because it can relieve the itching of the scalp.
  5. To keep from being damaged dreadlocks, use loose head cover made of satin or silk when sleeping. Polyester material is also a good option for allowing hair to breathe though covered. If you do not want to use head cover you can use a pillow case made from satin or silk.
  6. When the dreads are finished some experts advice to wash the hair every two to three weeks. However, the frequency can still be adapted to your needs. Shampooing your dreads carefully and gently. When washing the scalp, massage gently using your fingertips and keep the dreadlocks are not tangled.
  7. Use a shampoo that is able to maintain the natural moisture and keep hair acidity. For conditioner, some people choose not to use it for fear of loosening dreadlocks and make hair too soft.

Style Transition - Cool Color & Style

Before
Are you looking for a new hairstyle? Something versatile but oh-so-stylish? Take a look at this alluring makeover by Helen Botsis of Anasa Hair Studio. She took Brenna’s everyday hairstyle from oh-so-basic to cool-y classic and then push it over the edge with a radically retro appeal.

Breanna’s shoulder length, boring brown strands sported some old blond highlights in front and a lack of style, volume or movement all over. In its place, Helen created a rich copper mahogany hue that is lighter on top and darker underneath for the ultimate in dimension. She cut a very classic, mid length layered bob and added a sultry side-swept bang.
