What is DHT?

DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is derived from testosterone, which is present in both men and women. Men typically have more testosterone and about 10 percent of this in most adults converts to DHT. Once DHT flows freely through your bloodstream, it can then link to receptors in the hair follicles in your scalp, causing them to shrink and become less capable of supporting healthy hair.

DHT and hair loss:

Hair within a follicle goes through a growth cycle which lasts about 2-6 years. When this cycle ends, your hair enters a resting phase before falling out a few months later. The follicle produces a new hair and the cycle begins again.

High levels of DHT can shrink hair follicles as well as shorten this cycle, causing hair to grow thinner and more brittle, as well as fall out faster. DHT can also make it take longer for your follicles to grow new hairs.

Why DHT affects people differently?

Your proclivity to hair loss is down to genetics, meaning it runs in the family. For example if your father experienced male pattern balding, it's likely you'll show similar traits. If you're already inclined to male pattern baldness, the follicle shrinking effect of DHT tends to be more pronounced. The size and shape of your head can also contribute to how quickly DHT shrinks follicles.

By using Grow & tell products, you're providing your scalp and hair with the carefully selected ingredients, which help block DHT and potentially reduce the effects is has on the follicles, follicles that lose hair through DHT can start to die after two years this can result in no chance of future regrowth.

Can I use Longstory products on coloured hair? Will it fade quicker?

Yes our products can be used on dyed hair, our products will only ever fade hair if you have had it pre-lightened underneath your colour at some point, this usually happens when the cuticle opens to release the colour, which hot water can do also. Try keeping your water a little cooler when rinsing to close the cuticle and trap the colour inside the hair shaft.

Our products are non medical and we're not qualified to offer advice where existing medical conditions are concerned. However, whilst we've no scientific data or evidence to support such claims, we've many customers who are or have received treatment who have seen really positive results using our products but please check with a medical professional first.

I still seem to be losing hair, is this normal?

Yes it is. Hair has a three stage growth cycle, anagen, catagen, and telagen. When your hair hits the telagen cycle it will start to shed, as a new hair is preparing to grow in the follicle. When you start using our shampoo it releases all of the hairs that are in and approaching the telagen stage, so over the first few weeks you'll lose hair that you were going to lose naturally anyway. Don’t worry it is perfectly natural, a bit like weeding the garden.

Our products can be used on 100% remy hair keratin bonded extensions, but they haven't been tested for any other methods. Most people these days wear extensions because their hair isn't long enough. Use our products to help your

Can I get a free sample?

Longstory products aren't designed to be a quick fix, they are a lifestyle change, generally our users state it can take around three months to start seeing results so unfortunately trying a sample you wouldn't see the necessary benefits.

How long does it take for the products to work?

The results of Longstory products can vary depending on a number of factors. These may include existing hair length, extent of damage and dryness of the hair, and the time the hair follicles were at rest. The results will be different for each client, with some users noticing results within a month and others having to wait 3-6 months before noticing a difference.

Will Longstory work on long-lasting baldness?

Unfortunately, we can’t promise that Longstory will work on users with long-lasting baldness. Over time, the hair follicles on the bald scalp shrink and die, and even our formulas are powerless to stimulate them. If baldness is just starting to work for you, our solutions may be able to help you. Because most baldness is caused by high levels of testosterone in the scalp, the three DHT inhibitors in our shampoo are designed to combat this by promoting hair growth and by inhibiting hair follicle shrinkage.

More hair, more confidence. Complete your routine.
