Last year, I became completely obsessed with my hair health and went on a bit of a re-growth journey. After obsessing over how much hair I seemed to be losing, I took matters into my own hands and started regularly using an LED Red Light helmet to boost my follicles, and I haven't looked back since. While talking to an expert, though, I was made aware that while the benefits of LED to hair growth are measurable, there is an added benefit to topical productions or even supplementation in tandem with regular use of LED. My next step, was finding a topical regimen that would help boost my growth.

For that, I have turned to Act + Acre, with emphasis on their Stem Cell Shampoo and their 3% Stem Cell Peptide treatment. The difference I noticed was remarkable. It should be noted that I originally used the system with a hair mask, and the set has now been discontinued, but the shampoo, conditioner, and treatment are just as easily integrated as a complete routine. When I first started with the shampoo, I took to washing my hair every day, but then was able to get myself back to a place where I was washing every other day. The double cleanse, starting at the nape and working your way up, is key. I found that the lather was considerable and in general my hair was left feeling clean and balanced, without being stripped. This is notable because my hair is baby fine. Another major thing I noticed was that I was losing, and still lose, far less hair in the shower and when I brush than I used to, ever since starting with the program. Reassuring! Not only would I be stimulating growth, but losing fewer hairs that I already have? Sign me up.

As for the special sauce, Act + Acre leverages a trademarked and clinically vetted blend of grape stem cells to optimize hair follicle function in tandem with growth peptides and caffeine to boost circulation to the scalp, and as a result, further support the hair follicle and hair density. In my experience, this has been incredibly effective.

Within a few months of regular use of the shampoo and the peptide treatment, the thinning at my temples was yielding more baby hairs than ever. I really did see that the addition of topical products boosted the already good results from regular use of LED. The peptide treatment, in particular I felt really made a difference, and I love the tingling sensation when I massage it inthough I will note that it took some trial and error to make sure I didn't overapply and make my strands look dirty.

All in all, I found that this set was noticeably efficacious in boosting my growth when paired with LED. So if hair growth and health is your priority, don't think twice about adding the Stem Cell System to your routine.
