August marks National Hair Loss Awareness Month, and elastin replenishment brand NULASTIN® encourages everyone to join the discussion and support each other in hair and scalp care. Hair loss affects more than 50 million men and 30 million women in the United States alone, and over 80% of men and 50% of women will experience it in their lifetime.
Level Up Your SPF: UV rays accelerate the breakdown of elastin—a vital protein for hair strength and resilience—leading to premature shedding and hair loss. NULASTIN recommends applying broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to exposed areas of your scalp. Reapply every two hours, especially when spending time outdoors.
Hydrate Your Hair: Prolonged exposure to the sun can degrade essential proteins, like elastin, which leads to damage. To combat this, replenish moisture and use elastin-protecting products.
Support Hair Growth & Retention with NULASTIN: NULASTIN’s Vibrant Scalp Treatment is a breakthrough serum designed to address hair loss by promoting a healthy scalp environment. Formulated with biodesigned proteins—including elastin—and signal peptides, this multi-award-winner is clinically proven to deliver up to 43% fuller hair, up to a 50% improvement in the appearance of hair thickness, and up to a 50% improvement in shine, in only 12 weeks (with visible results in six).
Elastin: The “Youth Protein”
A critical component found in the skin and the root system of hair follicles, elastin plays a pivotal role in hair retention and scalp health. NULASTIN’s proprietary Elastaplex® Technology boosts elastin levels to anchor-and-bind hair follicles to the Elastin Root™ System, thus helping reduce shedding and fallout, and allowing hair to grow visibly fuller, longer and stronger.
