NANNIC HSR: frequently asked questions

A full head of hair again is no longer impossible

Below you will find our answers to the most frequently asked questions about the revolutionary Anti-Age Concept for Hair, Scalp & Roots. Do you still have another question? Then be sure to let us know!

We think it makes sense to take good care of our skin on a daily basis with mild cleansing products, nourishing serums and moisturizing creams. This also counts for the care of the hair: both the visible and the invisible part of the hair need daily care to obtain and maintain a beautiful head of hair.

Many products are available to improve the appearance of the hair itself, but little attention has been paid to the root of the hair, from which the hair begins to grow. The operation of NANNIC HSR is based on this. We stimulate hair growth and prevent the hair from going into a rest phase prematurely under the influence of external stress factors. The more hairs that remain in the growth phase and the fewer that are stuck in the transition or rest phase, the fuller the head of hair.

This vision makes this concept particularly unique. NANNIC is the first to bring day and night care for beautiful and healthy hair. The well-considered active ingredients in the NANNIC Anti-Age HSR concept and their consistent application lead to the intended result. Skincare doesn’t stop at the hairline.

All NANNIC products are based on scientific studies and empirical research. The approach we use is unique. Our hair roots are hyperactive factories that masterfully grow the hair constantly (day and night). Our environmental factors (pollution, UV radiation, stress, diet, etc.) are constantly changing and have an impact on our hair growth and even on our health in general. NANNIC HSR responds to this and normalizes what starts to go wrong under constant ambient pressure. The hair root is regenerated, which optimizes hair growth.

However, we respect the hair growth cycles and do not under any circumstances want to stimulate too much, because this would not benefit hair growth in the long term. The hairs have a period of growth, but now and then they also need a period of rest. Even if this rest is only a few months and only occurs once every 2 to 7 years, it must be respected to avoid exhaustion. We therefore focus on a long-term result and in other words, it does not benefit from a quick fix, because that is never good for our metabolism.

In a way, NANNIC HSR is a continuation of what we do with our daily skin care, which immediately explains why this treatment has become a daily day and night care, but for the hair. We’ve been working on this for almost a decade, and the operation is very complex.

Daily application of the nourishing HSR lotions only takes a minute. A small effort for a big return. Your hair will benefit and become beautiful, healthy, strong and voluminous. Apply the two lotions (one for the morning and one for the evening) directly to the scalp. The supplied applicator allows to apply these lotions directly on the scalp between the hairs.

Replace the shipping cap of the packaging with the applicator. Position the bottle upside down with the tip of the applicator on the scalp and trace across the entire scalp. Pay some extra attention to those places where the hairs have become thinner. You can feel the liquid spreading over the scalp. The active substances will penetrate quickly. Your hair will not get greasy and you can keep your normal hair style. Do not rinse.

The visible result is highly dependent on each person. Every metabolism, every lifestyle, every person is unique. So there is no way of telling when the result will be visible on a particular person. This is very related to the condition of the hair follicles. Since we do not know this condition and since we also do not know whether other inner factors may be involved, it is impossible to give guarantees that the hair will return in ALL cases.

We also want to communicate honestly about this and not arouse false hopes, but in any case it is still worth a try. After 2 packs it is known whether the dermal papilla is still biologically active or not. In any case, it is a blessing for the remaining hairs and if the hairs start to grow back in the thinning spots, that is completely fantastic. However, if nothing happens after two months, it is better not to continue with this. It is important to obtain medical advice if necessary.

The NANNIC Active Serums and Serums-in-cream keep the skin in good condition. The same goes for NANNIC HSR and the hair. If you want to keep your healthy hair, you also have to maintain it. That is what we want to achieve as a brand: that people understand that daily care for the hair is just as logical as daily care for your skin.

If the follicle is no longer viable, there is little hope of doing anything about it from a cosmetic point of view. This is also part of the study we mentioned earlier. In a rather pessimistic approach you can say that you cannot stimulate anything that is no longer biologically active, optimistically this means that there are quite a few possibilities if the hair follicles are still biologically active and that is what NANNIC was about. Without overkill, in a healthy way, provide the necessary stimulants. Although we cannot guarantee that the hair will return in ALL cases, it is still worth a try.

After only 2 packs one already knows whether it will benefit or not, or in other words; one knows whether it is right to proceed or not. In any case, it is a blessing for the remaining hairs and if the hairs start to grow back in the thinning spots, that is completely fantastic.

Also important is the lifestyle of the person. You cannot expect the product to work if the lifestyle is extremely unhealthy. It is like taking pills for blood pressure but continuing to eat an enormous amount of fat and salt: then those pills will not be able to work properly.

Everyone benefits from this product. You can use it preventive, restorative and entertaining. It is both to maintain and protect healthy hair, as well as to re-stimulate hair growth and thus allow the hair to grow. NANNIC HSR keeps the growth of every hair healthy, resulting in more beautiful hair. The product offers a solution for everyone: from men with a reducing hairline, to women with thinning hair who place extensions to make it appear fuller. But also, if you are satisfied with your hair, you can use it preventively to keep it beautiful and healthy for a long time.

Alopecia is too vague a description because there are different forms of Alopecia:

  • Alopecia Areata : patchy baldness, usually an autoimmune response often triggered by stress.
  • Androgenetic alopecia : baldness caused by the androgenetics (male hormones).
  • Alopecia universalis : complete baldness due to several possible causes: diffusa, androgens, telogen effluvium.
  • Alopecia Cicatricialis : bald spot on a scar. Because scars do not contain hair follicles, hair cannot grow.
  • Alopecia diffusa : severe hair loss all over the scalp. Not in places like Alopecia areata. This can be the result of illness with fever, overdose of vitamin A or chemotherapy. Usually recovers on its own.
  • Frontal fibrosing alopecia: inflammation alopecia. Tends hard to Alopecia citricialis. It often recovers on its own. Manifests on the frontal hairline where inflammation develops followed by a scar.
  • Traumatic alopecia: baldness caused by trauma. Trauma such as perms, bleaching, coloring, constant pulling (rubber bands). One sees many broken hairs because the hairs become brittle and brittle. By stopping the trauma, the hairs grow back. If the trauma continues, scars can occur on which hairs no longer grow = then becomes Alopecia Cicatricialis.
  • Telogen effluvium : disruption of the hair growth cycle. The hairs remain stuck in the telogen phase of hair growth.
  • Trichotillomania : the hair is compulsively pulled out. This is often the case with children with mental health problems.

NANNIC focuses on the most common type of hair loss, ‘Androgenetic Alopecia’ that can affect both men and women. Both men and women have both hormones (estrogens and androgens). These are in a certain ratio to each other and thus command the hair growth cycle. An imbalance in this ratio amounts to an imbalance in the hair growth cycle. NANNIC HSR optimizes this balance. The growth phase is supported here, but the resting phase is also respected.

Nevertheless, a favorable effect could also be obtained with ‘telogen effluvium’. It’s definitely worth trying. This is also the case with ‘Alopecia diffusa’ once the possible medical cause has been found and one has recovered from the disease or medication. NANNIC HSR could then have a supporting and promoting effect. The same applies to ‘Alopecia traumatica’ if the trauma is stopped and no scar tissue has yet formed.

In principle, after 2 packs, people already know whether it works. We cannot give guarantees because the cause is also unknown at the moment.

We see these products as a daily care for the scalp. People also don’t stop using their day and night creams, this is basically the same thing. People come into unwanted contact with UV radiation, pollution, chemical stressors, stress, … and several factors that increase the risk of follicular degeneration. As a result, the degenerative activity of all stress factors will probably also slowly start to show an activity on the hair follicles and the result obtained will probably fade. That is why we recommend that you continue to use it daily, just like your day and night cream.

Except for certain diseases with open wounds on the scalp, there are no immediate contraindications. The NANNIC HSR products work topically and locally.

NANNIC HSR Lotion Night Care – Root Stimulation contains a complex of essential oils containing some allergens from natural products. These are stated on the packaging: D-Limonene, Eugenol, Cinnamal and Linalool. If you have a problem with an allergen from this list, you can of course respond to it. These allergens can be found in most perfumes and eau de toilettes.

All products are safe for use on the scalp during pregnancy. Please note: the balance between the different hormones is vital for healthy hair growth. During a pregnancy there is a large fluctuation in this balance.

During our testing phases, we tested the products on many people. In Moscow we had a very interesting test subject: a pregnant woman with extreme fluctuations in her hormone levels, causing her to lose her hair. She used the lotions daily during her pregnancy, and her hair started to grow back. When she started breastfeeding, she lost her hair. However, she has continued to use the lotions to stimulate hair growth back after breastfeeding.

Pregnancy is therefore not a contraindication, but it is not the best period to start this result-oriented treatment. The products are perfect for balancing the hormonal fluctuations in the hair after pregnancy and thus achieve healthy and optimal hair growth.

Yes, but sulfates have erroneously been given a negative connotation. The negative news about sulfates mainly came in the media, which responded to hypes. Incidentally, this did not take into account the different forms of sulphates.

In the professional hair market, Sodium Laureth Sulfate is often used as the main ingredient. This is because it has a very high foaming capacity and has very good degreasing and cleaning properties. In some cases, those degreasing properties can cause an irritating effect. But the quality of the water also plays a part in this. For example, hard water will allow the surfactants to settle on skin and hair, while soft water will not.

NANNIC’s exceptional formulas: the NANNIC HSR Shampoos have been developed in such a way that possible adverse properties of Sodium Laureth Sulfate are negated by the addition of extra active ingredients (such as cosurfactants, refatting agents, lipid enhancers). As a result, we obtain a mild, caring and cleansing shampoo with excellent dermatological properties that also restore the skin’s balance.

Hair aging and hair loss are, in addition to hormonal, also dependent on many aggressors, such as pollution, UV, stress, chemicals, thermal stress, tensile strength, smoking, diet… A healthy lifestyle is still the best cosmetic that exists. NANNIC therefore stimulates the biological activities of the (scalp) skin.

Healthier skin is, by definition, more beautiful skin. And that’s the same with hair: healthy hair is beautiful hair.

It is best to always protect your hair against UV radiation. Especially if you have thin hair. With today’s fashion, however, this is not a problem: headwear comes in all shapes, colors and sizes.

Although the HSR lotions do not provide immediate protection against UV radiation, they do repair the damage caused by UV and pollution.

You could also spray NANNIC UV-Shield over your hair to provide extra protection for your hair and scalp.

NANNIC considers hair care and skin care as one whole. We think it makes sense to take good care of our skin on a daily basis with mild cleansing products, nourishing serums and moisturizing creams. This also counts for the care of the hair: both the visible and the invisible part of the hair need daily care to obtain and maintain a beautiful head of hair. Healthy hair growth starts from the scalp. That’s why we want to stimulate that scalp. Skincare doesn’t stop at the hairline.

There are several stress factors that can damage the hair. This is a short (incomplete) overview of common stress factors:

  • Environment : avoid direct radiation from the sun that is too bright, always rinse your hair after swimming in salt or chlorinated water, …
  • Chemical : make sure that the hair is rinsed after coloring, styling or straightening. Ask for the least burdensome coloring as possible.
  • Mechanical : tighten to keep your hair together, don’t pull the elastic band too hard and prefer gentle brushing to combing. Mechanical influences rub against the hair cuticles, possibly causing them to flake and crack.
  • Thermal : set your hair dryer on maximum power, but only on the medium heat setting. Never leave the curling iron in contact with the hair for too long and never use it on damp hair.

There are still several negative influences. Smoking : inhibits hair growth. Because less oxygen is supplied via the blood and the capillaries clog, there is insufficient oxygen reaching the hair follicle. Moderate alcohol consumption. Alcohol dries out the organism which contributes to dry, dull and quickly breaking hair. Drinking water is the message! Water helps all substances in their positive effect, but again do not overdo it. And stress creates a lot of by-products in the body. This is also detrimental to healthy hair growth. Regular relaxation not only affects your happiness, but also your health. A healthy body results in healthy hair. And healthy hair is beautiful hair.

There is a lot of healthy food for a healthy head of hair:

  • Proteins : Our hair consists mainly of proteins. A healthy intake of proteins is therefore recommended. Protein can be found in abundance in beans, peas, nuts and seeds, as well as in oily fish, chicken, turkey, all meats, dairy products and eggs. For the fruit lovers there are berries, avocado, banana, mango and strawberries.
  • Silica (silicic acid): To combat dry and dull hair. It can be found in potatoes, brown rice, leafy greens, beets, strawberries, green and red peppers, asparagus, barley and wheat.
  • Iron : Provides energy in the hair follicles. Iron is in dark chocolate, fish, meat, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, seaweed.
  • Vitamins C & E : Promote the absorption of iron from the blood and provides a beautiful shine. You can find them in spinach, nuts, seeds, avocado and citrus fruits.
  • Carotene : Ensures a healthy scalp. Found in all brightly colored fruits and vegetables. Spinach, carrots, bell pepper, melon, apricots and strawberries.
  • Vitamin B : Increases the absorption of oxygen and can be found in Spirulina, among others.
  • Zinc and copper : Accelerate cell division. Garlic and sesame seeds are high in zinc and copper.
  • Sulfur : All amino acids require sulfur. The best sources are onions, garlic, cabbages, turnips, Brussels sprouts, seaweed.
  • Fats : Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids that we need, but cannot make ourselves. These are abundant in oily fish, walnuts and legumes.
