Valine For Hair Growth, Health & Effectiveness

Valine For Hair Growth, Health & Effectiveness

If you think the shampoos and conditioners from your favorite high-end drugstore brands support the health of your hair, it might be worth checking out their ingredients. Many mainstream beauty products use harsh chemicals, preservatives, and synthetic ingredients that can strip away the nutrients your hair needs to stay healthy. This weakens your hair strands over time and can damage your scalp.

At Divi, our team of researchers understand how to nourish your hair and scalp properly. That’s why we include only safe, clean and clinically tested ingredients in our Scalp Serum, including the essential amino acid valine for hair growth. Valine plays an essential role in helping hair health and growth.

What is Valine?

You may already be familiar with the benefits of natural ingredients like tea tree oil, rosemary leaf extract, and caffeine for hair and scalp health, but valine might be more unfamiliar. As an amino acid, it plays a critical role in building proteins, hormones and neurotransmitters, which are fundamental to hair health.

Amino Acid

In our physiological systems, amino acids are instrumental in cell signaling, synthesis of hormones, homeostasis, phosphorylation of proteins, and gene expression. They also possess antioxidant abilities. Scientists divide amino acids into at least two subsets: essential and non-essential amino acids. The body produces non-essential amino acids, but essential amino acids need to be acquired through diet and supplementation. 

A subset of the essential amino acids, branch-chain amino acids (BCAAs), compose a group of essential amino acids that enable humans to function correctly. The three proteinogenic BCAAs (those incorporated into proteins) are leucine, isoleucine and valine. These comprise more than one-third of the essential amino acids in our muscle proteins. They play a significant role in nutrient-signaling, regulating metabolism and energy balance, and growth hormone production

Medical professionals have used these amino acids to help burn victims, although the scientific understanding of how they are effective is still developing. Sports supplements also often contain BCAAs to boost physical abilities and athletic performance.

Topical application of valine and the other BCAAs to the scalp can improve vascularization, increase collagen deposits and support cutaneous wound healing. Valine also promotes tissue repair.

Where Does Valine Come From?

Your body needs valine and other essential amino acids to stay healthy and work properly. However, your body cannot naturally produce BCAAs. Valine has to come from other sources, such as diet or supplementation, which can include topical applications.

We’ve infused Divi’s products – including our Scalp Serum – with plant-derived valine and other BCAAs for nourishing and restorative hair care. Our Scalp Serum is a topical solution that provides your scalp with the necessary nutrients for a fuller, more vibrant head of hair.   

Benefits of Using Valine for Hair Growth

At Divi, we design products cultivating the healthiest scalp environment to enable your hair to flourish. We include clean ingredients, like valine, for hair growth, along with our science-backed blend of amino acids, vitamins and botanical extracts. Our goal is to improve your scalp health, giving the look you want without all the risks.

How can our valine-infused Scalp Serum benefit your hair? Valine and other amino acids contribute to:

  • Strengthening hair shafts
  • Improving cellular renewal
  • Combating hair loss
  • Promoting faster hair growth

How Does Valine Help Fight Androgenetic Alopecia?

Thinning Hair

Are you struggling with balding, thinning or shedding hair? You’re not alone. Men and women of various ages throughout the world suffer from hair loss.

Hair loss can occur for many different reasons – some due to underlying health conditions and others due to hormonal changes. Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common cause of hair loss in the United States, affecting roughly 50 million men and 30 million women. The older you get, the more likely you are to experience AGA-related hair loss.

The good news is you don’t have to live with the frustration and embarrassment of androgenetic alopecia. According to a 2019 study published in the Journal of Cosmetics, Dermatological Sciences and Applications, the application of a topical solution containing L-valine and other nutrients (L-carnitine, zinc, niacin, biotin, and the branched-chain-amino-acids L-leucine and L-isoleucine) reduces hair loss and stimulates growth, mainly by increasing the anagen (hair growth) phase of the hair cycle. The participants saw noticeable improvements after using a specific hair product for nine months.

You can effectively treat the symptoms of androgenetic alopecia with Divi’s Scalp Serum. Divi’s products use a lightweight mix of amino acids, including valine, to combat balding, thinning and shedding. With regular application, you can help protect your hairline and see fabulous results.

How to Apply Divi’s Scalp Serum 

Divi’s Scalp Serum is easy to use. Massage 3/4 of a dropper of the Serum into your scalp once daily and let it absorb fully. Apply the serum in the morning or evening and leave it there for the remainder of the day or at night.

Other Ingredients in Divi’s Hair Products

Essential amino acids like valine offer many benefits when used by themselves. However, we’ve added it to our Scalp Serum as part of a powerhouse blend of other amino acids, vitamins and botanical ingredients for the most effective hair and scalp care. Divi helps in the following ways:

  • Cultivating the ideal environment for hair follicles
  • Making your hair appear fuller and thicker
  • Combating signs of balding, thinning and shedding
  • Strengthening hair shafts
  • Stimulating blood flow to hair follicles
  • Targeting the underlying causes of poor hair health
  • Reducing scalp inflammation and dryness
  • Moisturizing your hair
  • Encouraging natural cell renewal

Divi’s Scalp Serum uses clinically proven, active ingredients working synergistically to promote happy, healthy hair.

Eucalyptus Oil

Taking care of your scalp is a critical part of maintaining beautiful hair. We include eucalyptus oil in our hair products to help protect your scalp and ensure it stays healthy. Eucalyptus oil has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties to create the best environment for your hair follicles.

In 2016, researchers discovered eucalyptus oil has important nematicidal (parasite-killing) and fungicidal properties. In other words, it can help treat a dry, irritated or itchy scalp. Often, poor scalp health is the root cause of hair growth issues.

Rosemary Leaf Extract

Rosemary leaf extract (commonly known as rosemary oil) offers incredible benefits for your hair and scalp. One study shows it may be just as effective as minoxidil (Rogaine) at helping hair growth and preventing hair loss, but without any side effects.  

At Divi, we proudly use rosemary leaf extract because of its role in:

  • Improving the scalp’s blood flow
  • Reducing hormone-related hair loss
  • Rejuvenating hair follicles
  • Promoting overall hair growth

Hyaluronic Acid

Divi’s Scalp Serum includes hyaluronic acid to help bring your luxurious locks back to life. Hyaluronic acid is naturally produced by your body and has been proven to be an excellent treatment for hair care, offering the following benefits:

  • Plumping limp hair
  • Hydrating dried-out hair
  • Minimizing frizziness
  • Revitalizing high-porosity hair

Ascorbic Acid

Your body needs ascorbic acid (vitamin C) on a regular basis to help prevent disease and sickness. It bolsters your immune system and supports growth, development and repair of all body tissues. It may surprise you to know vitamin C can also fight hair loss!

Recent studies show vitamin C deficiency could be an underlying cause of balding or thinning hair. Vitamin C can help your body produce keratin and absorb iron – two critical aspects of hair growth.

Caffeine

Caffeine is another substance many people use daily, and some of us can’t function during the day without our morning cup of coffee. Caffeine also supports hair thrive through topical application.

Caffeine is an essential ingredient in Divi’s Scalp Serum. It provides nourishment for hair and aids in healing and restoring your scalp and hair follicles. In a 2007 University of Lübeck in vitro study, researchers labeled caffeine “a significant stimulant of hair follicle growth.” It may combat symptoms of androgenetic alopecia by improving hair and scalp health. Caffeine can help with:

  • Breaking down fatty acids
  • Stimulating blood flow in the scalp
  • Giving your hair a more youthful appearance
  • Protecting your scalp from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays

Copper Tripeptide-1

According to a 2007 study, copper tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu) extends the hair growth cycle. This copper-binding peptide occurs naturally in the body, but its supply decreases as we grow older. At Divi, we incorporate copper tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu) into our Scalp Serum to promote longer, richer hair.

Green Tea Extract

Green tea extract functions in many ways, including fighting against bald patches and thinning. This clean ingredient has epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which medical research shows can inhibit hair loss related to dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Peppermint Oil

Divi’s Scalp Serum includes peppermint oil for an effective, safe solution to balding, thinning and weak hair. According to a 2014 study, topical application of peppermint oil supports overall hair growth in a couple of ways:

  • Producing more hair follicles
  • Increasing follicular depth

However, you should use Divi’s Scalp Serum as directed.
