The Biotin Pro-Growth System

Thicker-looking hair starts at the scalp.

The Hair ResQ Biotin Pro-Growth System: biotin, three clinically tested peptides and a four-step routine for visibly fuller hair.

Hair did not change. The way we notice it did.

The scalp
is the new face.

The conversation used to start with thinning. Now it starts at the scalp: how it looks, how it feels, how it shows in every photo. And almost every change has a story behind it.

Common triggers

What sets off
a shed?

Most hair changes have a cause, and most causes are common. Here is what each one can look like, and when it usually shows up.

FRONT
  1. 01 / 08

    Stress, illness and big life events

    A high fever, an operation, a divorce or a lost job can push many hairs into their resting phase at the same time. They let go together, months later.

    What it can look like

    • Shedding all over the scalp, not in one spot
    • More hair in the brush, the shower drain and on your pillow
    • Usually noticed a few months after the event
    1. The event
    2. Shedding starts, a few months later
    3. Fullness usually returns within 6 to 9 months

    If the stress stays with you, the shedding can stay too.

    A new baby

    Pregnancy hormones hold on to hair that would normally fall. After birth, falling estrogen levels release it all at once.

    What it can look like

    • Noticeable shedding a few months after giving birth
    • Shedding that usually peaks around four months
    • Most people see normal fullness by their child's first birthday
    1. Birth
    2. Peak, about 4 months
    3. Normal fullness, often by the first birthday

    If fullness has not returned after a year, a dermatologist can help.

    Rapid weight loss and GLP-1 medications

    Losing 20 pounds or more can trigger a shed. Recent large studies have also linked GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide with more diagnoses of shedding, which researchers think may come from the physical stress of fast weight loss.

    What it can look like

    • All-over shedding that follows a period of fast weight loss
    • In the research, people who shed had a lower body weight at follow-up
    • A link in a study is not proof that the medication is the cause

    Never stop or change a medication without your prescriber. Ask your care team about protein and nutrition while you lose weight.

    Nutrition gaps

    When iron, protein, zinc or biotin run low, hair can thin. It often recovers once the body gets enough of what it is missing.

    What it can look like

    • Gradual thinning across the whole scalp
    • Hair that feels finer than it used to
    • Something your doctor can check with a blood test

    More is not always better. High-dose biotin supplements can interfere with some lab tests, so tell your doctor if you take them.

    Hormones and genetics

    Inherited pattern thinning is the most common cause of thinning hair worldwide. In women it usually begins in the 40s, 50s or 60s, and it is more common after menopause.

    What it can look like

    • A part that looks wider than it used to
    • A ponytail that feels thinner
    • In men, a receding hairline or a thinning spot on top

    Thyroid conditions, PCOS and stopping some birth-control pills can also change hair. A dermatologist can tell these causes apart.

    Tight styles and tension

    Styles that pull, like tightly braided hair, cornrows, locs, tight buns and ponytails, extensions and weaves, strain hair at the root. The hairline is one of the first places it shows.

    What it can look like

    • Broken hairs around the forehead
    • A hairline that starts to recede
    • Pain, stinging or tenting where hair is pulled tight, or patches where it is pulled most

    If a style hurts, it is too tight. The longer the pulling goes on, the harder it is for hair to recover, so act early.

    Scalp conditions

    Flakes, itch and buildup are the scalp asking for attention. Dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis are among the most common reasons.

    What it can look like

    • Flakes that are most noticeable in the hair
    • Dry or greasy scales, with mild to intense itch
    • Pink, purple or red patches, depending on skin tone

    Scaly patches with broken hairs or small black dots can signal a scalp infection. That is a reason to see a dermatologist.

    Sudden round patches

    Alopecia areata happens when the immune system targets hair follicles. It often appears suddenly, and hair can come and go.

    What it can look like

    • A round or oval, smooth bald patch
    • Skin that looks calm, with no redness or swelling
    • Sometimes eyebrows, eyelashes or the beard too

    Patchy hair loss is always worth a dermatologist visit.

Beneath the surface

Every strand keeps its own calendar.

Each hair moves through four phases on its own schedule. That is why shedding often shows up two to four months after the moment that set it off.

Keep scrolling to follow one strand

01 / 04Growing

Anagen

The active phase. Most hairs on your scalp are here right now, and each can stay for years.

02 / 04Transition

Catagen

A short pause of a few weeks. The follicle shrinks and the hair loosens its hold.

03 / 04Resting

Telogen

About three months of rest. The hair stays put while the follicle quietly resets.

04 / 04Release

Exogen

The old hair lets go. Roughly 50 to 100 a day is commonly cited as normal.

Science at the root

Three peptides. One purpose.

With biotin, the B vitamin hair care is known for, and a peppermint-fresh, scalp-first finish.

Peptide 01 / 03

Copper Tripeptide-1

GHK-Cu

Copper Tripeptide-1, often referred to as GHK-Cu, is a copper-binding tripeptide: a short chain of three amino acids paired with copper. It is a well-known ingredient in skin and scalp care.

Chosen to support a healthy-looking scalp and fuller-looking hair.

Peptide 02 / 03

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 is a peptide made of four amino acids. It is used in scalp and hair care formulas.

Chosen to support a healthy-looking scalp and fuller-looking hair.

Peptide 03 / 03

Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1

Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 is a tripeptide linked to biotin (vitamin B7). It brings together two ingredient families that are popular in hair care.

Chosen to support a healthy-looking scalp and fuller-looking hair.
