Keratin — anyone who loves their hair knows this word! Because most hair-beauty products on the market always include keratin as a key ingredient. This is because keratin benefits hair in countless ways, whether it's making hair thick and soft, moisturised, glossy, sleek, weightful, and looking vibrantly healthy. But before we dive deep into what keratin really is, why it is so good for hair, and how we can boost keratin in our hair, let's first get to know the structure of hair — our main character! Hair strands are dead cells with no life and no feeling, with different internal structures that determine the external appearance of each person's hair — whether colour, straight hair, curly hair, fine or thick strands, and so on. If you take a cross-section of a hair strand and magnify it, you will see that hair consists of 3 layers: – Outer layer (Cuticle): the outermost part, colourless, whose job is to protect the inner layers from external dirt and to prevent the hair from losing moisture. The cuticle makes up about 10% of the total hair strand and can be damaged by improper combing, heat exposure, and chemical treatments. When the cuticle is damaged, hair becomes dry, frizzy, brittle, thin, and eventually breaks and falls. – Middle layer (Cortex): the home of pigment — the cortex determines hair colour. It also houses proteins, keratin, and protein fibres, determining how soft or elastic your hair is, depending on the nutrients nourishing this layer. – Inner core (Medulla): the innermost part of the hair shaft that does not play a major role; it is formed from protein and fat and is mostly found in people with strong, thick hair. People with fine hair often lack a medulla. Keratin is a type of protein that serves as a key structural component of skin, nails, body hair, and human hair. In the hair strand, keratin resides in the Cortex layer — the thickest layer and the main structure of hair — making up 90% of its composition, arranged like overlapping fish scales (as often depicted in hair-product advertisements) and controlling substances that enter the hair cells. When the keratin in hair is damaged, the cuticle scales open, making hair look dry and damaged, brittle, prone to breakage, weightless, and frizzy, because damaged keratin means hair can no longer retain moisture. The main factors that damage keratin include heat exposure, chemical straightening, perming, and other chemical treatments. Besides external factors, there are also internal factors that cause insufficient keratin in hair, such as genetics or consuming too little protein, leaving the body without enough nutrients to nourish hair. This not only makes hair look dry and lifeless but is also a cause of hair fall, weak hair roots, and eventually thinning hair. Keratin treatment is an extremely popular option to restore life and silkiness to hair — whether having a keratin treatment done at a salon or buying keratin-infused hair treatment products to use at home — both help replenish protein back to the hair, giving it weight, softness, thickness, and shine (the main differences being price and quality). Moreover, keratin treatment can also be used as an alternative to hair straightening. Keratin treatment is therefore ideal for those who want straight, smooth hair without the flat, pressed look of permanent straightening, and for those who want soft, weightful hair. After having a keratin treatment at a salon, you should avoid shampoos containing SLS, as it is a harsh detergent unsuitable for hair. You should also not apply coconut oil as a hair mask after a keratin treatment, as it will cause the keratin to wash out much faster. How long keratin treatment lasts depends on the type of keratin the salon uses, but as a rough guide it will last around 6–8 months. Keratin treatment is indeed one option for beautiful, vibrant hair, but it mainly addresses hair problems such as dryness, brittleness, and frizz. For those whose hair fall is caused by a lack of keratin, we need to boost keratin from within the body by adding nutrients that support keratin production to each day's meals — because replenishing keratin from the outside alone is not enough to address hair fall. The nutrient that helps boost keratin for hair is Biotin (Biotin) — also known as Vitamin H or Vitamin B7 — which is an important component that strengthens hair and supports keratin function from the inside, helping to strengthen the keratin structure so that hair is strong from root to tip, reducing hair fall. However, for people with hair fall problems, supporting keratin function alone is often not enough. Our bodies still need many other nutrients, vitamins, and minerals to care for hair and the scalp comprehensively, keeping hair and the scalp strong, stimulating regrowth, and restoring vitality so hair is not frizzy, brittle, or prone to breakage — and AloEx Dietary Supplement addresses this perfectly. Not only does it contain Biotin to support keratin function, it also contains over 15 premium concentrated herbal extracts in appropriate amounts, packed into 1 capsule. Besides supporting keratin in hair, AloEx also helps address a full range of hair problems: ⭐ Nourishes hair roots and scalp for strength ⭐ Reduces hair breakage and fall ⭐ Stimulates new hair growth ⭐ Supports keratin in hair ⭐ Reduces acne and scalp inflammation ⭐ Reduces dry hair and split ends ⭐ Reduces premature greying

Currently there are several ways to treat hair loss and thinning, and the use of Finasteride is one option that is very popular, because this drug can help reduce the level of DHT hormone — the main cause of thinning hair and baldness. However, long-term continuous use of Finasteride may have side effects on the user's body and may cause the following problems: decreased sexual desire, reduced penile erection, decreased semen volume, increased liver workload because the drug breaks down in the liver. If used at 5 milligrams daily continuously, it can cause the prostate to shrink. If readers are concerned about these side effects, you may consider using products that reduce DHT hormone from outside the body — products that don't cause harm to internal organs — such as AloEx Hair Regrowth Serum, a natural-extract product that helps stop hair fall, reduce hair thinning, and regrow hair effectively.

It's perfectly normal for everyone to style their appearance before leaving the house, right? Especially hair, which needs to look great. But how do we choose a product that won't cause allergic reactions or scalp itching that leads to hair thinning and hair fall? Today, AloEx would like to guide you on what each type of hair styling product is like and which is best suited to your hair condition. 1. Hair Gel — best used when hair is wet or damp. Works well for wavy, curly, or natural loose styles, and for hair that is not colour-treated. The advantage is that it holds the style for many hours without losing shape. However, choose one that contains a moisturiser to maintain healthy-looking hair, and avoid products containing alcohol, as they may cause scalp irritation and dry, damaged hair. 2. Mousse — when shaken and dispensed it comes out as foam. Easy to style while hair is still wet, and it is not as shiny as gel. Suitable for long hair and permed hair. However, it is not recommended to use it continuously for long periods as it can make hair dry and lifeless. Therefore, choose a mousse with no alcohol for best results. 3. Wax — can style hair even when it is dry, and you can reshape as desired without washing out or adding more product. However, be careful as dust and particles can easily stick to both hair strands and the scalp, leading to inflammation and irritation. It is recommended that after returning home you shampoo to wash out the wax and remove dirt. 4. Hair Spray — popular among actors, hosts, news presenters, and those attending events and television programmes, because not only can it be sprayed on both dry and wet hair, but hair will hold its shape and stay durable, look natural, and be protected against UV and light from various sources. However, there are also several downsides — inhaling these sprays may be harmful to the respiratory system and cause irritation, and they can seriously damage hair. People with allergies need to be especially careful about using sprays as they can worsen allergic reactions. If you already have sensitive skin, you should avoid using hair styling products, or if you really must use them, use as little as possible and avoid contact with skin — whether the scalp or the face. Most importantly, apply a hair serum to nourish your hair before any styling, so that hair is ready to face the outside world with confidence. With AloEx Hair Serum, which contains no fragrance or alcohol, it gives a cool, comfortable feeling without stickiness, absorbs into the scalp more quickly, and also contains Thai herbal extracts that help absorb chemicals left on the scalp from hair treatments, while also making newly grown hair thicker and darker.

Did you know? Drinking soy milk regularly can help strengthen hair roots and also stimulate new hair growth effectively — because soy milk has the ability to help form a molecule in the intestines called Equol, which acts to inhibit the action of DHT hormone, which is the main cause of weak hair roots and excessive hair fall. Now that you know, don't forget to find soy milk or tofu drink to consume every day for good bodily and hair health. And remember to choose hair cleansing and care products that are free of chemicals and safe for hair and the scalp — such as AloEx shampoo and hair root nourishing serum — to help restore and strengthen hair roots in another way.

In the hair world, very few people are unfamiliar with "Biotin" — the nutrient renowned and celebrated for nourishing hair. Whether it's weak, fragile, brittle, prone-to-breakage hair, hair fall, or slow hair growth, Biotin is among the first choices for those who want to nourish their hair — especially people experiencing hair fall. But before choosing to take Biotin to nourish hair and reduce hair fall, let's get to know Biotin first. What is Biotin? Biotin is also known as Vitamin H or Vitamin B7. Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in cell growth and assists in the functioning of various bodily systems, including: supporting the metabolism, nourishing hair for strength, nourishing skin and nails, helping reduce inflammation, helping lower blood sugar in people with diabetes, and supporting the nervous system. Biotin from natural sources can be found in foods such as butter, milk, organ meats, egg yolks, whole grains, nuts, soybeans, bananas, and various vegetables. However, biotin loses its potency when exposed to heat, meaning you may need to eat larger quantities of food to obtain the amount of biotin your body requires, which could affect your weight. The recommended daily amounts of Biotin the body should receive are as follows*: Young children should receive approximately 5–12 micrograms/day. Older children should receive approximately 20–25 micrograms/day. Adults should receive approximately 30 micrograms/day. For women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, approximately 30–35 micrograms/day is recommended. However, always consult a specialist physician before taking supplemental Biotin. Does Biotin really help reduce hair fall? Biotin is the main key component of hair structure, helping stimulate the production of and strengthen keratin. Keratin is a protein the body can produce on its own, forming the structure of nails, skin, and hair. Therefore, a deficiency of Biotin in the body may affect keratin, weakening hair health and leading to breakage and fall. Conversely, if the body receives sufficient Biotin, keratin is strong and hair will be strong too — hair will not break or fall easily, and will be naturally soft, beautiful, and healthy. Regarding receiving more Biotin per day than the body requires over a long continuous period — while it may not cause direct harm, some articles note that excessive Biotin in the body may skew results of other medical tests, such as thyroid tests. However, that is only one article. Nevertheless, the view here is that consumption of everything — whether food or herbal supplements — should be kept at an appropriate level to maintain good bodily balance. AloEx Dietary Supplement — a dietary supplement for hair and scalp — contains not only Biotin but also over 15 more herbal extracts, to help maintain the balance and strength of hair and the scalp. It combines 3 formulas of natural power — TMC — from traditional medicine, modern medicine, and marine extracts, all in one capsule. T — Traditional Formula: extracts blended from both original and ancient traditional formulas from Thailand and abroad. M — Marine Formula: the power of premium extracts from the sea. C — Conventional Supplements: the benefits of concentrated vitamins and minerals. Read more about keratin here: 'Keratin' — the beauty secret every woman needs to know – AloExHair.

Damaged hair, lack of shine, or open cuticles are all problems that make women lose confidence — frizzy hair that is difficult to style. Today AloEx shares 3 easy methods to fix damaged hair that you can do at home. 1. Add shine by doing a hair mask. If you dislike hair that is frizzy and loses its shine after being exposed to light, we suggest a way to create shine using natural ingredients: blend strawberries with 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, then mask your hair for approximately 5–10 minutes and rinse out. Just this simple step will help transform frizzy hair into shiny hair. 2. Use conditioner — reduce static. The problem of frizzy hair due to static electricity from dry weather conditions or in cold air-conditioned rooms with low humidity causes hair to lose moisture and become dry and frizzy. A simple solution is to use conditioner after every wash to restore moisture to hair, help reduce static, prevent tangles, and make hair easier to comb. 3. Finish with a cold water rinse to help close the cuticles for smoothness. Did you know that ladies who like to shower with warm water will find their cuticles open, making hair prone to damage? Therefore, the best solution is to use cold water to rinse out the shampoo foam in the final rinse, to close the cuticles completely again. You will then find that your hair is softer and reflects more light. Now that you know these simple ways to manage your own hair, don't forget to use AloEx to help stop hair fall, reduce hair thinning, and regrow new hair for your hair, so that your hair becomes even healthier.

New mothers often experience the distressing problem of heavy hair fall. First-time mothers may be especially worried and stressed about hair fall, because sometimes it can fall heavily for several months, causing hair to become noticeably thin. Many mothers therefore wonder why there is so much hair fall, whether it is abnormal, and whether it is dangerous. Let AloEx clear up your doubts and concerns, and give you ways to cope. Post-partum hair fall — a natural occurrence for new mothers. For mothers experiencing post-partum hair fall, there is no need to panic — post-partum hair fall is a natural occurrence that can happen to any mother, due to hormonal fluctuations. Normally, we all shed some hair every day, but during pregnancy the body produces more oestrogen. Some pregnant women therefore have hair that looks healthy, dark, and thick, with almost no shedding throughout the 9 months. However, once the baby is born, the elevated oestrogen levels during pregnancy drop sharply. Hair that had been in a resting phase and barely shed for over 9 months re-enters its normal cycle and sheds all at once — causing the heavy hair fall experienced after giving birth. The post-partum hair fall will not be permanent — it typically lessens after about 6 months. Managing post-partum hair fall on your own. Eat a balanced diet with all 5 food groups so that your body receives sufficient nutrients to nourish all its parts, including the scalp and hair roots. Don't comb or pull your hair forcefully, as this will cause breakage and fall — especially when hair is wet, since wet hair is weaker than normal. Avoid applying heat to your hair — whether from a hot dryer, flat iron, or direct intense sunlight without protection — as heat will weaken your hair and make it brittle and prone to breakage. Avoid using chemical hair treatments or colouring — since hair is already falling, adding more chemicals may further damage it, causing chemical build-up and heavier fall. Dealing with post-partum hair fall — what should you use? Hair care products are another important thing to consider when facing this kind of post-partum hair fall — what should mothers use? Of course, products that are free of chemicals, organic, and naturally extracted are the answer — because hair is already falling, and using hair care products containing chemicals that may leave residue on the hair and scalp could cause even heavier hair fall. AloEx hair-fall reduction products are a hair care solution ready to address post-partum hair fall for mothers, nourishing hair and the scalp for strength, reducing hair fall, stimulating blood circulation in the scalp to deliver nutrients to the hair effectively, and increasing the rate of new hair growth to be better and stronger than before. Available as shampoo, hair mask, and serum — a complete nourishing set. Hair fall reduction shampoo, organic formula — helps detox chemicals and impurities that remain on the hair and scalp thoroughly. Available in 2 formulas: for dry hair and for oily hair. AloEx Hair Regrowth Original Shampoo — the original formula shampoo in a white bottle, suitable for normal-to-oily hair. Rich in over 30 natural herbal extracts, it cleanses hair and the scalp, reduces itching, removes excess oil, and refreshes. AloEx Hair Regrowth Black Shampoo — the black bottle shampoo for dry or chemically damaged hair. Rich in natural herbal extracts, Black Sticky Rice extract, Lemon Lavender Oil, and various natural oils — it cleanses, adds moisture, and stimulates new growth. AloEx Natural Hair Mask — comparable to a conditioner, it contains no silicone but leaves hair soft and moisturised, and adds volume to hair with Lemon Lavender Oil and natural oils. It can be used as a conditioner replacement — no worries about clogging. Besides replacing conditioner, it can also be used as a hair treatment or hair spa. AloEx Hair Regrowth Serum — produced using Hydrosol extraction technology as a clear liquid from 100% natural herbal extracts. Can be sprayed anytime you want to add vitamins to hair and the scalp, nourish hair for strength, reduce post-partum hair fall, while also refreshing and controlling oiliness throughout the day. AloEx is ready to care for mothers with post-partum hair fall problems. Use with peace of mind and no worries, as our products are naturally extracted, free of chemicals such as SLS, Silicone, Paraben, and Fragrance, certified by the Thai FDA, and manufactured in a GMP-standard factory — you can be confident in their gentleness and safety.

One of the main causes of hair fall and hair thinning is genetics — and the genes responsible for hair fall tend to affect men more than women. Being left with thinning hair, a barcode-like hairstyle, or a bald patch in the middle of the scalp is not a particularly distinguished look. Many men therefore seek ways to address this weighty but hair-light problem, and one popular method is taking medication. The hair-growth medication most popular on the market is Finasteride — a drug used to treat enlarged prostate and to treat hair fall, hair thinning, and baldness, because it works to inhibit Androgen hormone, the male hormone that causes hair fall. Those wishing to treat hair thinning with Finasteride must take 1 milligram per day, with or without food, continuously for 3 months before new hair growth can be seen. While Finasteride can genuinely stimulate new hair growth and prevent further hair fall, it has its dark side — because the drug inhibits Androgen hormone, the root cause of most hair fall in men, the side effect is that sexual performance in men will also decline. However, if the medication is stopped, sexual performance returns to normal — but the hair will start falling again too. For men who don't want to trade their sexual performance for hair on their head, Minoxidil is another drug commonly used to treat baldness. Originally a medication used to treat high blood pressure, it was found to have the side effect of stimulating hair growth, and was subsequently adapted into a topical treatment for hair thinning. Minoxidil is a vasodilator — it is believed that hair growth is stimulated because the drug dilates blood vessels in the scalp, increasing blood flow to hair cells, resulting in more new hair growth. While it is an effective hair-growth treatment, it does have many usage restrictions: the drug must not come into contact with any other areas of the body, and it must be allowed to dry naturally — using heat to blow it dry is absolutely prohibited as it may catch fire. Furthermore, topical Minoxidil contains alcohol and preservatives, which can cause dry scalp and dandruff. But for anyone who wants fuller hair without sacrificing sexual performance or risking dry, dandruff-prone scalp, we recommend AloEx — shampoo and serum extracted purely from Thai herbs with no chemical additives that would irritate the scalp or reduce masculinity. The shampoo gently cleanses the scalp, stimulates blood circulation on the scalp, and also detoxes the scalp in preparation for nourishment in the next step. That next step is the serum. AloEx serum contains protein extracted from plant seeds to stimulate new hair growth, strengthen hair roots, and reduce hair fall and breakage. Most importantly, it contains extracts that inhibit DHT hormone — a type of Androgen hormone and the main cause of genetic hair fall and thinning — without any loss of sexual performance.
