A Deep Dive into the RLT+ Hair Mist

Hair loss is a universal concern, affecting people indiscriminately. While often associated with age-related changes [1], hair loss can affect anyone. For countless individuals, their hair symbolizes more than just part of their scalp; it's an embodiment of their identity, a testament to their health and vitality, and often, a way they measure their beauty or attractiveness.

The emotional toll of hair loss [2] can be profound, leading to diminished self-esteem and confidence. Thankfully, there are numerous emerging solutions that people are successfully using to slow, prevent, or even reverse hair loss, improving their appearance and their confidence.

A new hair growth mist is offering those suffering from hair loss a new, natural approach to promoting their hair health. When combined with other natural hair loss remedies, like red light therapy, this new solution offers hope to those wanting a better way of preventing hair loss.

 

The Science of Hair Growth

The process of hair growth may seem simple, but is actually a complex biological process. Each strand on our scalp is a product of meticulously coordinated cellular activities, hormonal influences, and environmental factors. This process, governed by genetics and physiology, ensures that hair not only grows but also regenerates throughout our lives.

The Hair Growth Cycle

The growth of a single strand of hair is not a continuous, ongoing process. Instead, it operates in a cyclical manner, with each hair follicle independently undergoing various phases. These phases ensure that while some hairs are growing, others may be resting or shedding, preventing total hair loss at any given time.

There are three main phases of the hair growth cycle [3] that every follicle of hair will undergo repeatedly:

• Anagen Phase - This is the active growth phase, where hair cells grow rapidly. During this phase, which can last several years, the hair strand grows longer, nourished by the blood supply in the scalp.
• Catagen Phase - A transitional phase, the catagen phase is relatively short-lived, lasting only a few weeks. Here, the hair follicle contracts and detaches from the dermal papilla (its nourishing blood supply). The hair strand is cut off from its nutrient source and becomes what's known as a "club hair."
• Telogen Phase - Lasting around three months, this is the resting phase. The hair follicle remains dormant, and while old hair may remain anchored, it's during this phase that hair shedding is most noticeable. After this, the follicle re-enters the anagen phase, pushing the old hair out and beginning the cycle anew.

Factors Affecting Hair Growth

Hair growth is influenced by many external and internal factors. These factors can either promote healthy hair growth or lead to disruptions in the hair growth cycle.

• Hormonal balances - Hormones, especially androgens like dihydrotestosterone (DHT), play a pivotal role in hair growth. An excess of DHT can lead to the miniaturization of hair follicles and potentially cause a type of hair loss called androgenic alopecia.
• Nutrition - Hair is composed primarily of the protein keratin. To grow and develop healthily, it requires a steady supply of nutrients [4], especially proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Deficiencies, particularly in iron, vitamin D, and biotin, can hamper hair growth.
• Stress - Chronic or acute stress can lead to conditions like telogen effluvium, where a significant number of hair follicles prematurely enter the telogen phase, leading to increased hair shedding.
• Environmental factors - Factors like extreme temperatures, pollution, and UV radiation can damage hair, affecting its quality and growth rate.
• Medications - Certain medications, especially those for cancer, arthritis, depression, and heart problems, can increase the risk of hair loss. Some medications, like chemotherapy [5], are known for severely impacting hair growth.

Red Light Therapy and Hair Growth

Red light therapy is a promising approach that has shown significant promise in the area of hair restoration. By emitting red and infrared low-light wavelengths, this therapy penetrates the skin's layers, reaching the hair follicles. The light stimulates the mitochondria in the cells, boosting their energy production. This increased cellular activity revitalizes dormant hair follicles, promotes circulation [6], and encourages the anagen phase of hair growth. As a result, red light therapy not only fosters hair growth but can also enhance hair density and strength.

 

The New Natural Hair Growth Mist: Ingredients and Benefits

The introduction of the RLT+ Hair Mist offers a new way of naturally augmenting hair growth. This mist, meticulously formulated with a blend of potent botanicals, promises not just to help combat hair loss but to rejuvenate the scalp, laying the foundation for better hair.

Overview of Key Natural Ingredients and Their Role in Promoting Hair Growth

The mist's formulation combines several ingredients from nature, each playing a unique role in the intricate process of hair growth. These ingredients, backed by both traditional wisdom and modern research, target various aspects of hair health and include:

• Peppermint Oil (Menthol) - Stimulates the scalp, promoting blood flow, which is crucial for nourishing hair follicles.
• Scutellaria Baicalensis Extract (Baicalin) - Combats hair loss by inhibiting hormones that can hinder hair growth while simultaneously stimulating growth factors.
• Lavender Flower Extract - Has properties that can reduce stress-induced hair loss, ensuring a healthier scalp environment.
• Tea Tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia) - Its antifungal and antibacterial properties help ensure a scalp freer from microbial threats, creating a conducive environment for hair growth.
• Clove (Eugenol) - Can soothe an inflamed scalp, ensuring it remains in optimal health for hair growth.

• Achillea Millefolium Extract (Yarrow Extract) - Rejuvenates the scalp by enhancing its peptide levels, promoting overall hair health.
• Serenoa Serrulata Fruit Extract (Saw Palmetto) - Ensures the scalp maintains a balanced hormonal environment, crucial for hair growth.

Each of these ingredients combines to improve overall scalp health and enhance hair growth. We will explore each one more in-depth later.

How the Mist Works in Conjunction with Red Light Therapy

While the RLT+ Hair Mist offers many benefits, these are further amplified when used in tandem with red light therapy. While the spray's ingredients work at a molecular level, addressing hormonal imbalances, promoting blood flow, and ensuring a healthy scalp environment, red light therapy complements this by enhancing cellular activity in the hair follicles. This dual-action approach ensures that the hair follicles are not only receiving the nutrients they need but are also in an active state, primed for robust hair growth.

Benefits of the Mist

The fusion of nature and technology in the mist offers a holistic approach to hair health and (hopefully) restoration! The intended benefits of the mist include:

• Faster hair growth - The combined action of the botanical ingredients is designed to accelerate the hair growth process.
• Increased hair thickness - By promoting the anagen phase and nourishing the hair follicles, the spray helps ensure future hair growth is thicker and stronger.
• Reduced hair shedding - By addressing root causes like hormonal imbalances, stress, and scalp health, the mist may help reduce hair shedding.
• Revitalized scalp - The spray's ingredients ensure the scalp remains healthy, laying the foundation for future hair growth.
• Synergistic action - With the presence of multiple effective, natural products, the spray's efficacy can be amplified. The synergistic and complementary nature of the mist's components should mean the mist is more than the sum of its parts!

 

Deep Dive into the Ingredients of The RLT+ Hair Mist

The new natural hair growth mist is a culmination of extensive research and the harnessing of nature's most potent ingredients. Each ingredient has been meticulously chosen for its unique properties that contribute to hair health, growth, and rejuvenation. Let's delve deeper into these ingredients and understand the science behind their efficacy.

Peppermint oil (Menthol)

Peppermint oil, a staple in many natural remedies, is well-known for its invigorating aroma and cooling sensation. At the heart of this sensation is menthol, its active compound.

Menthol stimulates the scalp [7] in a unique way. When applied, it activates the body's cold-sensitive receptors (TRPM8 receptors), creating a perception of cold without any actual temperature drop. This "cold" sensation not only invigorates the scalp but also promotes blood circulation. Enhanced blood flow ensures that hair follicles receive the necessary nutrients and oxygen, setting the stage for robust hair growth.

Menthol also provides benefits in other ways, such as promoting the expression of IGF-1, a necessary growth factor for hair to remain vital. Additionally, menthol's anti-inflammatory properties help soothe the scalp, reducing itchiness and creating a healthy environment for hair to thrive.

Scutellaria baicalensis extract (Baicalin)

Scutellaria baicalensis, a natural herb, is a treasure trove of beneficial compounds, with baicalin being one of its most potent. Baicalin targets hair growth [8] at a molecular level. It is known for its anti-androgenic effects, which means it can inhibit hormones that often lead to hair loss.

Research shows that baicalin also stimulates the expression of growth factors [9], such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor-7 (FGF-7) in human dermal papilla cells, which are essential growth factors. These factors play a pivotal role in hair growth, making baicalin a dual-action ingredient that helps both prevent hair loss and promote new growth.

Lavender Flower Extract

Lavender, with its calming blue-purple flowers, is far more than just a nice garden plant. For centuries, it has been revered for its therapeutic properties. Lavender flower extract is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.

When it comes to hair, its calming properties can help reduce scalp inflammation. Its soothing aroma is also known to reduce stress [10], a common culprit behind hair loss [11], making it a holistic ingredient for both scalp health and overall well-being.

Tea Tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia)

Native to Australia, tea tree is a natural powerhouse. Its oil, derived from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia plant, is a potent antifungal and antibacterial agent. For the scalp, this means an effective defense against some forms of dandruff, scalp acne, and other microbial-induced conditions. By maintaining a clean and healthy scalp environment, tea tree oil ensures that hair follicles remain unobstructed and healthy, promoting an environment for robust hair growth.

Clove (Eugenol)

The primary component of clove oil, eugenol, is a natural analgesic and antiseptic. When applied to the scalp, it can help alleviate pain from hair-pulling or tight hairstyles and combat microbial infections. Its warming sensation also promotes blood flow to the hair follicles, ensuring they receive ample nutrients for growth.

Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract (Holy Basil)

Holy basil is an adaptogenic herb known for its stress-relieving properties. Chronic stress can wreak havoc on hair health, pushing hair follicles into the shedding phase prematurely. Ocimum sanctum leaf extract helps in modulating [12] the body's stress response, ensuring that hair remains unaffected by the adverse effects of chronic stress.

Achillea millefolium extract (Yarrow extract)

Yarrow is a herb with feathery leaves and clusters of daisy-like flowers. Its extract is known to rejuvenate the skin surface, including the skin on the scalp. By increasing the levels of peptides derived from a protein called proopiomelanocortin (POMC), Yarrow extract ensures that the scalp remains healthy, indirectly promoting hair growth by creating an optimal environment for hair follicles.

Serenoa Serrulata Fruit Extract (Saw Palmetto)

Saw palmetto is a small palm native to the southeastern United States. Its fruit extract is known for its ability to block the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone) [13], a major contributor to hair loss. By inhibiting DHT, this natural remedy ensures that hair follicles don't shrink prematurely, promoting a longer, healthier growth phase for hair.

 

What is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is another natural remedy for improving hair health. It is a cutting-edge treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and tissues beneath. This non-invasive therapy has garnered significant attention in the medical and cosmetic fields for its potential to rejuvenate skin, reduce pain and inflammation, and stimulate hair growth, among other benefits.

Brief History and Evolution of Red Light Therapy

The therapeutic potential of light has been recognized for centuries, with ancient civilizations using sunlight for healing purposes. However, the modern iteration of red light therapy began in the 1960s when Hungarian physician Endre Mester discovered that low-level laser light could stimulate hair growth in mice and accelerate wound healing. Since then, technological advancements and extensive research have refined and expanded the applications of red light therapy, making it a sought-after treatment in contemporary dermatology and cosmetic practices.

How Red Light Therapy Works at a Cellular Level

Red light therapy operates on a cellular level, primarily targeting the mitochondria, often dubbed the "powerhouses" of our cells. When the red and near-infrared light photons penetrate the skin, they are absorbed by the mitochondria and boost the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of cells. This increased ATP production enhances cellular function, promotes healing, and stimulates cellular rejuvenation.

Benefits of Red Light Therapy for Hair Growth

For individuals grappling with hair loss, red light therapy offers a natural solution. The therapy stimulates hair follicles, increasing blood flow to the scalp and ensuring that these follicles receive adequate nutrients and oxygen. By extending the growth phase of the hair cycle and revitalizing dormant hair follicles, red light therapy promotes thicker, fuller, and healthier hair. It’s a painless, drug-free, and side-effect-free solution, making it a preferred choice for many seeking hair restoration.

 

How Red Light Therapy May Enhance the Effectiveness of the RLT+ Mist

Red light therapy is well known for its ability to promote the health [14] of hair follicles. When combined with the potent natural ingredients of the mist, the effectiveness of both should be augmented. This creates a holistic approach that addresses hair loss from multiple angles, helping to further augment the health and vitality of your hair.

The Synergy between Red Light Therapy and the Natural Ingredients in the Mist

Red light therapy operates at a cellular level, enhancing mitochondrial function in hair follicles, which in turn boosts energy production and promotes hair growth. This cellular stimulation prepares the scalp to better absorb the nutrients from the RLT+ Hair Mist. Each ingredient in the mist, be it peppermint oil for circulation or saw palmetto for hormonal balance, becomes supercharged in the presence of this enhanced cellular activity. The result is an increased likelihood of faster, healthier, and more robust hair growth.

The anti-inflammatory properties of red light therapy also complement the soothing botanicals in the spray. Inflammation is a known antagonist to hair growth. By reducing scalp inflammation, red light therapy ensures that the natural ingredients in the spray can work in an optimal environment, free from the barriers that inflammation can create. This synergy ensures that each component, whether light or liquid, amplifies the other's effectiveness.

Scientific Studies and Evidence Supporting Combined Use (Red Light + Other)

There are numerous scientific studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of red light therapy in improving hair growth. Additionally, several pieces of research also further support the fact that the efficacy of red light therapy increases when combined with other methods that support hair growth.

A 2021 study [15] published in the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery reviewed fifteen different pieces of research. The researcher found that when red light therapy was combined with at least one medication approved to treat androgenetic alopecia [16], the effect seen was more pronounced than would have been expected using solely medication without red light therapy.

Similar results were found in a 2017 study [17]. Published in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, this study found that red light therapy and topical minoxidil 5%, a hair loss medication, both produced similar results. When combined, however, they showed better results than when either was used by itself.

A systematic review [18] in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, first published in 2021, found that a topical treatment using a steroid had better potential when combined with red light therapy than used by itself.

While red light therapy was shown to improve the results of medications, it also provides a natural alternative to medication by itself. A study [19] published in 2008 by the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy showed that red light therapy offered a promising alternative for those who did not want hair transplantation and did not respond to first-line hair loss medications.

Apart from medications, red light therapy has also been studied in combination with more natural approaches, also with promising results. A 2022 study [20] published in Applied Sciences explored combining red light therapy with micro-needling, a technique used to promote hair growth. The researchers found that this combination of treatments was effective at stimulating hair growth beyond the typical effects of either treatment by itself.

While the results of combining the new hair mist with red light therapy require advanced study to prove an empirical benefit, existing research suggests that it is likely to be beneficial.

 

How to Use the Hair Mist with Red Light Therapy for Best Results

Combining natural hair mist with red light therapy can offer the results some people are looking for. However, to ensure optimal benefits, it's essential to use both correctly and consistently. By following a structured regimen, you can harness the full potential of this synergistic approach, ensuring that your hair not only grows faster but also healthier and stronger.

Step-by-step guide on using the mist:

To derive the maximum benefits from the mist, it's crucial to apply it correctly. Here's a step-by-step guide to ensure you're using the spray to its fullest potential:

• Clean your scalp - Begin with a clean slate. Wash your hair with a mild shampoo to ensure there's no product buildup or residue on the scalp.
• Towel dry - After washing, gently towel dry your hair. The spray is most effective on damp (not wet) hair as it allows better absorption.
• Section and spray - Part your hair into sections, ensuring that the scalp is exposed. This will allow for even application. Spritz the mist directly onto the scalp, focusing especially on areas with thinning hair.
• Massage - Once applied, use your fingertips to gently massage the spray into the scalp. This not only ensures better absorption but also stimulates blood circulation. Better circulation is desired here!

Recommended red light therapy sessions and duration:

Red light therapy, while effective, requires consistency and the right duration for noticeable results. For individuals using red light therapy for hair growth, it's recommended to undergo at least sessions 3-4 times a week. Each session should generally last between 5 to 25 minutes depending on the device used. It's essential to ensure that the red light device is positioned correctly, covering all areas of the scalp.

Tips for maximizing results:

To ensure you're getting the most out of the hair growth spray and red light therapy, consider the following tips:

• Consistency is crucial - Like any treatment, consistency is key. Ensure you're regularly using the spray and undergoing red light therapy sessions as recommended.
• Balanced diet - Hair health is also influenced by the nutrients you consume. Ensure a diet rich in proteins, vitamins (especially biotin), and minerals. Consider supplements if necessary.
• Limit heat styling - Excessive heat can damage hair and weaken it. Limit the use of straighteners, curling irons, and blow dryers. If you must use them, always apply a heat protectant.
• Stay hydrated - Drink plenty of water. Hydration plays a vital role in maintaining hair health.
• Avoid tight hairstyles - Constantly pulling your hair into tight ponytails or buns can stress the hair follicles. Opt for looser hairstyles to reduce tension on the scalp.
• Regular scalp massages - Beyond when you apply the spray, indulge in regular scalp massages. This can stimulate blood flow, promoting healthier hair growth.
