How To Finally Achieve That Luscious Hair Goal

Getting the perfect, Rapunzel-like hair is no easy task, but we have all wished for it at one point. While some (lucky) girls are born with luscious hair, the rest of us depend on the perfect hair care routine to maintain our not-so-effortless locks.

The good news? It is not impossible to achieve that dream hair and even better, to grow it faster than we realize! Besides the frequent advice that we hear, from the types of hairbrushes to the frequency of heat styling, there is one easily neglected point just as important as any useful hair care routine tips - our nutrients intake.

More accurately, is the consumption of natural supplements to allow our body to promote hair growth from deep within. And one of the essential nutrients for this is none other than the amino acids, Cysteine Peptide.

First, Let's Understand The Hair Structure

Keratin, a type of fibrous protein, makes up about 90% of our hair structure. In a desired, healthy condition, it is rich in Cysteine - which helps add rigidity, stability, and strength to the entire hair composition.
Hair growth occurs in 4 primary phases:

1. Early Anagen
A new hair begins the growth phase, as it pushes the old hair out.

2. Anagen (growth phase)
Your hair is actively growing at this point. Each strand may spend several years in this phase, with healthy nourishment of nutrients from the blood vessel.

3. Catagen (transitional phase)
Over time, the hair follicle starts to shrink and detach from your skin. 

4. Telogen (resting and shedding phase)
Hair growth slows down, and without sufficient nourishment, the process of falling out starts. Eventually, the old hair falls and is pushed out by the growth of new hair.

Hair grows at varying rates between different individuals. However, experts agreed that the average rate of hair growth is around half-inch (1cm) per month. You might be wondering, that seems acceptable, but why does it not look like it? Other than genetics, lifestyle factors such as hair styling and even the inevitable one like frequent shampooing can cause split ends if the hair lacks essential nutrients. When this happens, it subsequently shortens the length of the hair and makes the growing period slower as well.

Cysteine Peptide: The Secret To Silky Hair

Cysteine is the most crucial family member of amino acids needed for healthy hair growth, being the most significant component of keratin. It not only helps to strengthen existing hairs but also facilitates the growth of new hair in the early Anagen phase. They are the basic building blocks of protein and play many vital roles in the body, such as aiding in detoxification, tissue repair, and the production of antioxidants. 

Do you know? Cysteine is also one of the few amino acids that contain sulfur, which not only helps maintain the protein structure in the hair, but also reduces the tendency of hair breakage. Think about it - less hair breakage means that you will be able to grow your hair longer and reach your desired hair length.

So Where Do We Get Cysteine?

Besides being super beneficial for the skin, did you know that AG-FACTOR™ can also improve hair texture and growth? It contains the potent Cysteine Peptide, which stimulates Glutathione and Collagen's natural production in the body!

Cysteine Peptide is an important component of Glutathione, also known as the body's master antioxidant, to fight damage in hair follicles caused by free radicals. And an increase in Glutathione production can also improve the hair loss condition, Alopecia Areata - male or female-pattern baldness, caused by hormonal imbalance and weakened immune system. This is because of the anti-inflammatory properties of Glutathione, which works not only to reduce inflammation in the hair follicles caused by the abnormal immune attack but also to balance the body's hormonal production to reduce hair loss-causing hormones, such as Androgens.

Not to mention, Cysteine Peptide also acts as a precursor of Collagen, which makes up 70% of the dermis layer that contains the root of each hair and contributes to its elasticity. Besides maintaining integrity, it also helps keep the hair shiny by supporting the function of the oil-producing sebaceous glands within the dermis layer! Stronger hair strands PLUS that healthy, glamorous shine? Sign us up!

However, as we age, our body's Collagen-producing ability decreases and this leads to hair thinning. Now before we chew on every Collagen product in the market, it is extremely important to note that consuming synthetic Collagen only works temporarily. So rather than feeding your body with synthetic Collagen, why not nourish it with a natural boost of Cysteine Peptide from AG-FACTOR™ instead? Your body will be able to continue making its own Collagen intelligently, which is absolutely the healthier way to prevent hair loss in the long term!

What Makes AG-FACTOR™ More Effective?

The Cysteine Peptide in AG-FACTOR™ is milk-derived naturally and encased in a protective lipid layer that resembles the human cell membrane. Incorporating the smart R-Liposome Technology, this formulation helps enhance the absorption rate to ensure that all the nutrients encased in AG-FACTOR™ can be well-absorbed by the cells so that your hair will reap the additional benefits of healthy hair growth!

Say goodbye to synthetic Glutathione and Collagen, and hello to AG-FACTOR™ - your body will thank you for the nourishment of natural nutrients that helps brighten your skin, and add that healthy shine to your hair at the same time! Best believe that your dream to achieve that long, Rapunzel hair can finally come true.
