The High-Performance Vegan, Non-Yoxic Hair Products That Work

August 17, 2021

Hairloss Happens and here’s why:

As we age, the anagen (growth) phase can shorten due to decreased levels of IGF-1 and microRNA31. Hair moves into the resting phase more quickly, causing excess shedding and thinning of hair. Also, as we age, our hormone levels change which often results in increased levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which can damage the dermal papillae, resulting in inflammation, reduced circulation and follicle miniaturization.

STRESS & LACK OF SLEEP: Anxiety, fear and poor sleep can cause cortisol levels to spike. Increased cortisol levels can cause hair to prematurely exit the anagen phase and enter into the shedding phase. Cortisol can also trigger proinflammatory cytokines, increase interleukin 1, 6 levels and cause weight gain.

POOR NUTRITION: A diet low in zinc, iron, vitamin A, B6 &12, C, D, E, biotin, folic acid and natural collagen boosters can also lead to hair thinning and loss.

‘DIRTY’ HAIR CARE PRODUCTS & ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION: Use of hair products containing synthetic chemicals, fragrances and silicones can damage & dehydrates hair while blocking pores, irritating the scalp and inhibiting healthy sebum production. Environmental pollution can also cause growth signals to weaken over time.

ENTER VEGAMOUR…. to restore hair growth

There are many factors that can contribute to poor hair health and subsequent hair fallout. Oftentimes, it’s a combination of two or more internal concerns that are further exacerbated by external issues such as environmental pollution or ‘dirty’ hair care and/or styling products.

Hair, like anything else that grows in nature, requires a healthy ecosystem in order to thrive. Therefore, any successful approach to hair concerns requires a holistic (or comprehensive) solution that not only addresses the symptoms of poor hair health (shedding follicles, irritated scalp, damaged cuticles, split ends, toxicology, etc.) but also the underlying causes (hormonal changes, stress, poor sleep, lack of essential vitamins & minerals, UV & environmental pollution as well as all of the horrible things we do to our hair like bleaching, dying, curling , straightening, washing and styling with harmful chemicals).

VEGAMOUR studied the most common causes of our most sensitive hair concerns and developed a truly holistic approach to hair wellness that incorporates powerful phytoactives in clean, vegan supplements, topical serums, hair care & styling products that work in tandem to help address both the symptoms and underlying causes of poor hair health & fallout.

They take an inside-out approach into consideration the health of the entire follicular ecosystem and works to promote a healthy environment for hair to flourish naturally.

The Hair Breakthrough: Karmatin™

Daily hair wellness from a non-toxic, 100% vegan ingredient that leaves hair smooth as glass.

What is Karmatin™?

Karmatin™ is an innovative, encapsulated vegan b-silk™ protein that replaces traditional keratin, a building block that occurs naturally in the hair. Many hair care products contain keratin, an animal protein that rinses away before it can repair damaged hair. But Karmatin™ bonds to the hair, nourishing it instantly for a glass-like feel. A true miracle and the hero ingredient in Vegamour’s shampoos, conditioners & masks, Karmatin™ deeply nourishes, repairs and protects hair from external aggressors like chlorine and sun, and keeps color vibrant without hurting animals or the planet.

Growth Without Compromise

Here’s what is in the formulas.

Synthetic Prostaglandins, Steroids

Finasteride

Bimatoprost

Isopropyl Cloprostenate

Minoxidil

Keratin

Safe, Vegan Formulas

Their formulas are clean, safe and healthy to use every day. There are no known harmful side effects or long-term health risks associated with anything we put in Vegamour products.

Vegamour products are cruelty-free (Leaping Bunny) and 100% vegan (Vegan Action), so they don’t hurt animals either.

Witness the growth.

Here is how hair works.

We dig deep into the field of molecular biology to create breakthrough processes and high-performance products that have been optimized for maximum efficacy. Each bio-active ingredient is clinically tested and incorporated into each of our formulas at the appropriate levels to achieve optimal benefits.

AMY POEHLER OPENS GLOBES W/MILLENNIAL MIDDLE PART / FINISHES WITH SOFT PULL & PIN

March 1, 2021

Stylist Kylee Heath used Philip B Hair Care and Olivia Garden Tools to create her soft, sexy shiny looks

GOLDEN GLOBES CO-HOST AMY POEHLER OPTS FOR SLEEK MAJOR MILLENNIAL MOMENT “MIDDLE PART” GLOSSY BLOW-OUT & SOFT WAVES FOR HER OPENING LOOK and CLOSES THE SHOW WITH A SWEET AND SEXY “SIDE PULL AND PIN” WITH LONG BANGS

Two days of tech check, rehearsals, and 35000 miles away, hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey were a perfectly choreographed pair for their double duty hosting duties.

Her hair stylist Kylee Heath accented her two stage looks with polished, smooth shiny chic hair – starting with the first parted right down the middle – millennial style.

She wanted to create a look that was “really soft, smooth and a slight nod to the adorable but retro vibe of the Moschino dress”to open the show opting for it down and picking the winning side of the battle of Gen-Zers vs. millennials.

To prep she gave Amy the Philip B Peppermint and Avocado Scalp scrub to stimulate, polish, exfoliate and eliminate any build up for a smooth, clean hydrated clean start.

LOOK #1 – BREAKDOWN MIDDLE PART

  • I then created a center part and started from the bottom and working my way up from the back of the head. I added a wave using the Olivia Garden Ceramic+Ionbrush and curled 1 1/4 in sections away from the face.
  • Then I went in with my Olivia Garden Carbosilk CS-T1 comb. which has the perfect carbon material for lifting and teasing. I teased the roots around the crown and then tucked the front behind her ears. I brushed out the waves (key to brush under! So bristles up) and then gave a final light tease.

  • I finished the look with a spray Philip’s Russian Amber Dry Shampoo for a little texture and lift because it was a long day. I wanted a gleaming finish but soft and not to “heavy”.
LOOK #2 – SIDE PULL AND PIN WITH LONG BANGS
  • Then I combed out and pulled back the other side, pinned it back [leaving the long bangs out dusting her chin], brushed, teased and textured the ends with one more spray of Philip B Jet Set Hairspray and she was ready to hit the stage finish the night and close the show.
