Vogue Approved! Biologique Recherche Thinning Hair & Scalp Treatment

Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 Capillaire Purifying Hair & Scalp Treatment

In the beauty industry, hair thinning is referred to as “miniaturization,” the slow but steady process of shrinking hair follicles that produce weaker strands no longer able to reach their maximum growth potential. It’s a condition that more than one-third of females are expected to experience by the time they exit their 30s—whether they know it or not. “A lot of women see these short, thin hairs at their temples and think it is breakage or just the way their hair is—but for many, this could be a sign of hair miniaturization,” says Lars Skjoth, founder and lead scientist behind Harklinikken, the Danish-born clinic that’s gained a cult following among European royalty and Hollywood elites for its customized hair-restoration treatments. “[It’s a sign] the hair that replaces the previous one is not as thick, and is actual thinning.”

Once a category (and conversation) dominated by male statistics, the American Hair Loss Association reports that nearly 40 percent of the country’s hair-loss sufferers are in fact women. Triggers, unsurprisingly, include (but are not limited to) everything from hormone shifts, often following pregnancy, to stress and emotional trauma, illness, overuse of hot tools or chemical treatments, and, of course, age. “As we age, most hair is reduced either in the form of balding, receding, or thinning,” says dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman, who increasingly sees afflicted female clients at her Manhattan-based practice. “Genetics, as well as life changes, contribute to the [overall] interference of hair growth.” And unfortunately, like most other health-related issues, the longer one waits to address the problem, the harder it is to treat.

However, thanks to a wave of new supplements, in-office treatments, and at-home solutions (like a light-up, energy-emitting head crown), the ability to tackle rising concerns over the threat of long-term loss is finally in sight. Here are five ways to achieve a thicker, healthier head of hair.

Exfoliate Your Scalp
Exfoliating the scalp helps slough off more than dead skin cells and product debris—it’s now believed that it may also remove excess DHT (a hormone that induces hair loss) while simultaneously promoting the growth of new follicles. Biologique Recherche cult classic Lotion P50 is ahead of the curve, already adapting a blend of alpha and beta hydroxy acids into hair care. Their new Lotion P50 Capillaire purifying hair and scalp treatment, now performed at Paul Labrecque Salon and Spa in Manhattan, incorporates a circulation-boosting massage, too.
