The experience of witnessing my hair thinning as I age has been nothing short of disconcerting. I attribute it to a combination of factors, including my battle with COVID-19 and the hormonal challenges associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a condition notorious for causing hair loss. The most anxiety-inducing moment of my daily routine used to be the aftermath of a shower, where a colossal clump of hair typically clogged the drain. However, with the introduction of dpHue’s ACV Revitalizing Shampoo, that terrifying clump has now been reduced to just a few strands, despite no other alterations in my hair care regimen.
Part of dpHue’s apple cider vinegar line, the Revitalizing Shampoo boasts a water-like consistency that transforms into a frothy lather – but only with a dedicated effort, when you genuinely commit to scrubbing your scalp and massaging your strands. I observed a noticeable change in hair texture after my initial use, but it was after approximately five washes that I witnessed remarkable improvements in hair shedding and an overall increase in hair volume. An added bonus: my hair, which had previously felt heavy and weighed down, experienced newfound lightness, enhancing the natural curl of my locks.
The key players in this transformative shampoo are the eponymous apple cider vinegar, hyaluronic acid, and peptides. Apple cider vinegar, to begin with, offers an effective solution to combat dandruff, a pesky issue that afflicts many. Thanks to ACV, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in this nuisance since incorporating the shampoo into my routine. Scientific studies have also attested to ACV’s ability to cleanse the scalp of debris, residue, and buildup, while simultaneously imparting a healthy sheen and softness to the strands.
Hyaluronic acid, familiar in skincare circles for its moisture-retaining properties, works its magic on the scalp much like it does on the skin. It draws in moisture, effectively taming frizz and enhancing the overall manageability of the hair. In fact, research has shown that hyaluronic acid is an invaluable asset in the quest for healthier, more vibrant locks.
Peptides, another key ingredient, have been identified as potent allies in the fight against hair loss. They have the remarkable capacity to increase the actual number of hair strands, fostering a fuller, more robust mane. This trifecta of ACV, hyaluronic acid, and peptides in dpHue’s ACV Revitalizing Shampoo has not only addressed my hair loss concerns but has also left me with hair that feels luxuriously silky, glistening, and irresistibly soft.
