Where it helps

Concerns Horsetail addresses

  • Hair Loss

    For the months you have been finding more hair on the pillow than the comb. For the part line that has slowly widened. For the new mother, the man at the temple recession, the woman watching her ponytail thin — hair loss is a quiet anxiety that most people carry alone for too long before they ask anyone. The Hairmical range is built around the actives that the dermatology and trichology literature considers most defensible for visible shedding: Procapil's three-mechanism complex, caffeine for follicular microcirculation, biotinyl-tripeptide for follicle anchoring. Topical actives work on the follicle's clock — give them 4 to 8 weeks of consistent use for visible improvement, and months for a full growth cycle.
