Overview." I am losing my hair…it is thinning out… it is not growing the way it used to…" Such complaints represent 95% of the problems our clients tell us about. Over the past 5 years, research has fortunately accelerated its progression, and biologists have an increasingly better understanding of the hair’s mysteries. We now know exactly how the hair’s ‘underground factory’ works, and where precisely to act. |

1- The Hair’s Underground Factory
The hair grows in the hair follicle, a small pore generated by the epidermis by folding itself into the dermis, just like when a glove’s finger is pulled back. The follicle is implanted at a depth of 4 mm. Its different locations are all essential to the hair’s production. Find out more

The Hair’s Vital Functions
Five quality criteria are needed for the hair follicle to produce vigorous hair, ensure its renewal at the end of the cycle, and produce identical regrowing hair. Those criteria have been identified by Hélène Clauderer as the hair’s five vital Vital Functions

3- When the Machine Glitches...
Several malfunctionings are possible during the hair production process, for instance in the case of androgen-associated hair loss::
Circulation
Decrease of the blood irrigation towards the hair follicle. Insufficiently fed, the root shrinks and produces a hair that is increasingly less strong. In parallel, a negative enzyme (5 alpha-reductase), transmitted by the blood, also contributes to the hair’s malfunctioning by abnormally accelerating the roots’ work.
Keratinisation (hair production)
Exhausted by an excessively fast production pace, the follcile’s matrix starts dashing off the keratinisation process: the cycles are shorter, the hair falls faster, the growth and regrowth are increasingly thinner. Ultimately, some follicles even end up by only producing a down, and then nothing at all.
Tonicity of the tissues
• Collagenic hardening around the follicle. Locked in too rigid an environment, the follicle tends to progressively shrink.
• Premature aging of the two epithelial sheaths, which are no longer able to anchor the forming stem properly, and play its guiding role.
Sebum
The sebum often also infiltrates into the hair follicle, at the epithelial sheath level, and all around the matrix. This infiltration generates toxins that will agglutinate around the roots and disrupt the blood’s circulation.
4- Malfunctioning-Targeted Treatment
Before starting any type of treatment, an in-depth hair diagnosis (with root and keratin analysis) enables to identify where and how its vital functions have deteriorated. This is absolutely necessary in order to precisely target the treatment.
IN VIVO TEST AFTER 4 MONTHS OF CLAUDER TREATMENT
Clinical study carried out over a sample of 35 volunteers with alopecia (hair loss). 18 of them applied a Clauderer Extract (#7), every day, over 4 months (picture on the left). The 17 others applied a placebo, at the same frequency and during the same period (picture on the right).
