Does Ovation Cell Therapy Work for Men? Client Testimonial

Tue, 07 May 2013 18:56:27 -0400

We’re in the business of creating healthy hair so we’re fortunate in that we hear from happy clients all the time. We’re proud to contribute to any good hair day and if we can make you feel great about your hair, we’ve done our job. We also get a lot of people who want to know “Does Ovation really work?” which is why we like to share the feedback we get from our real clients.

Here’s a recent comment we received from Scott in San Diego about his Ovation experience:

“Before I used Ovation, every morning when I combed my hair, 20-30 pieces of hair fell out…everyday! Since I started using Ovation, it is rare for me to lose one piece of hair! Maybe I lose 2-3 strands of hair a week since Ovation, as compared to 140-210 a week before Ovation, big difference! I can’t afford to lose any more hair. I only wish I started using Ovation years ago, so sorry I did not start back then! Thanks so very much.”

If you’re a new client, remember you get 10% off your entire first order and although we can’t promise Scott’s results, we have a money back guarantee so your purchase is risk free!

Quick and easy way to test your hair strength

Tue, 07 May 2013 18:54:42 -0400

Healthy hair is both strong and resilient and while you may think these qualities are easy to spot, they’re not. Here is a quick and easy way to test just how strong and flexible your hair is.

The Steps:

Starting at the root, pluck a single strand from behind your ear.
Hold one end of the hair with your thumb and index finger.
Using your other hand, run your fingernail along the strand from the top to the bottom (sort of like curling ribbon). Once you reach the end, the strand will curl up.
Hold the strand tight again for a few seconds and release.

The Results:

If the hair coils up again, the hair is strong and healthy. If the strand remains straight or creates a looser curl, it is weak and unfortunately needs repair.

What to do:

If you find that your hair is on the weaker side, there are a few steps you can take to improve its health.

Moisturize and protect. The hair is weak so you need to focus on protecting the strands from breakage and further damage. You can do that by using a Thermal Protection Spray, reducing heat exposure, and adding moisture to the hair strands. Use the Ovation Crème Rinse Moisturizer daily and a Deep Conditioning Treatment either once a week or twice a month.
Nourish. While you’re taking steps to protect the existing hair, you can also work to create healthy re-growth by nourishing the scalp. The Ovation Cell Therapy will provide the scalp (& damaged hair) with vitamins, protein, extracts and more. Applying these nutrients directly to the scalp will create long-term healthy (& much stronger) hair.

Even if your hair didn’t pass the test this time, by taking these simple steps, your hair will be back to its bouncy self sooner than you think.

Stronger hair is within reach!

Scalp Health for Thicker, Stronger, and Longer Hair

Tue, 07 May 2013 18:53:38 -0400

With all the emphasis in the beauty industry on “Hair Repair” we tend to think about what we can do to fix our hair strands instead of actually getting to the “root” of the problem. If you’re hair breaks or sheds often, grows slower than it once did, or looks dull and flat, it may mean issues beyond the hair itself. Of course, there are other factors that can cause unhealthy hair, but what a lot of people don’t realize is that one of the most important aspects of hair health is the condition and health of your scalp. Understanding why the scalp is so important to the future health of your hair, may have you re-thinking where to focus you’re efforts.

All of the living parts of your hair (follicle, root, root, sheath, and oil glands) are under the skin of the scalp. Once the hair leaves the follicle, it’s received the all of the nutrition (proteins, vitamins, and other nutrients) that it needs to grow and live. A healthy scalp produces stronger hair that will break less, meaning it will be fuller and will grow longer without damage.

An unhealthy scalp can’t provide the hair strand with what it needs and produces dry, brittle, weak hair. What’s the difference between a healthy scalp and an unhealthy one? A healthy scalp is clean and full of nutrition. Here’s what you can do to make your scalp the healthiest it can be.

Provide nutrients: There are few different ways to ensure that you’re providing the scalp with the appropriate nutrients. One is to make sure that you have a balanced diet that includes foods like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, and dairy products. If your diet is missing some of these things or is unbalanced, you can take a multivitamin.

The Ovation Multivitamin is a daily supplement and includes not only the vitamins that you need every day, but also extra herbs and extracts that are known for their benefits to the hair and scalp.

Nutrients and water go hand in hand. Make sure you’re consuming enough water (8-10 glasses per day) to keep your hair and scalp hydrated.

Lastly, applying nutrients directly to the scalp is a very sure way to make sure it has all it needs. Our Advanced Cell Therapy includes vitamins, protein, extracts and other ingredients that are meant to be absorbed by the scalp, creating the best environment for healthy hair.

Keep it clean: Your scalp can’t do its job if it’s dirty. Build up and irritation can result in anything from dry, brittle and weak hair to hair loss. The key to choosing the right shampoo is finding one that effectively cleanses, but isn’t so harsh that it removes things your scalp and hair need.

The Ovation Color Therapy Shampoo uses high-quality, naturally derived ingredients to do just that. It thoroughly cleanses the scalp and hair of dirt and buildup without removing essential oils. It’s also sulfate free so it prevents color oxidation and is less likely to cause irritation.

Extra tip: Scalp massage is a great way to increase blood flow which will stimulate and strengthen the hair follicles. A daily or even weekly scalp massage will keep your scalp and hair follicles happy.

By adding one or more of these steps into your hair care routine, you will help your scalp succeed in producing healthy, thicker, stronger, and longer hair. Scalp health is a work in progress so whether you need a lot of help or just a little, keep in mind that the goal is long-term healthy hair.

The Argan Oil complements our Advanced Cell Therapy System very well by adding even more shine and manageability to your hair on a daily basis. The Ovation Cell Therapy System includes our Color Therapy Shampoo, Cell Therapy Hair Treatment, and Crème Rinse Moisturizer that are packed with vitamins, protein and extracts to create the healthiest hair possible.

How to blow dry for more volume

Thu, 21 Mar 2013 16:35:00 -0400

Whether its Adele’s signature bouffant or Carrie Underwood’s colossal curls, big hair is a trend that doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon.

There are many ways to add body to naturally fine hair, but when it comes to everyday styling most of us don’t have the time or patience to take all the steps it takes to pump up the volume.

What If I told you that adding a few minor additions to your blow drying routine could make a big (voluminous) impact? That’s exactly what today’s post is about. Here are three quick and easy tips to add volume while blow drying:

Use a volume enhancer – After towel drying your hair, add a Volume Enhancer Spray to your roots. Use a wide tooth comb to spread the product throughout the hair. This simple step will add a substantial about of volume. The Ovation Volume Enhancer in particular is ideal because its lightweight formula is naturally derived, never sticky, and will keep your hair voluminous all day long!
Use large curlers at the crown – Large velcro curlers can create a quick and very effective root lift. When hair is 80% dry, add 3 or more large velcro rollers to sections of the crown (imagine a mohawk of curlers). Add some light hair spray and finish the blow dry. Let the hair in the rollers set (cool) before removing them and voila!
Blow dry with the nozzle and away from the root – By using the nozzle that comes with your hair dryer, you can concentrate the heat in a specific area, in this case, the root. When hair is 80% dry, use a round or flat brush to pull up a section of hair. Starting at the scalp, blow dry up the root towards the rest of the hair shaft, away from the scalp. Leave the hair to set/cool before letting it down. This easy technique will train your roots to be lifted for the day.

Whether you take one or all three of these steps to achieve thicker hair, make sure to always use a Thermal Protection Spray before blow drying. The Ovation Thermal Protection Spray will lock in moisture and protect against all types of heat damage. It’s also naturally derived and provides antioxidant support.

If you’re looking to achieve thicker hair in general, the key is gaining overall hair health. By using quality hair care products like the Advanced Cell Therapy System, you’re repairing any damage AND making sure new re-growth is the healthiest it can be. This leads to thicker, stronger, and longer hair!

Enjoy!

Why Ovation Products Work – Advanced Crème Rinse

Mon, 04 Feb 2013 13:18:00 -0500

At Ovation, we take pride in our high success rate and constant positive customer feedback. We know and you know that our products work, but we’d like to share a bit more about why our products are so effective. In a previous post, I explained some of the reasons why our Cell Therapy Hair Treatment works to promote healthy hair, but in today’s post we’ll discuss the Advanced Crème Rinse Moisturizer.

Many people think that our Crème Rinse is a conditioner, but it’s not. It is a moisturizer. Unlike conditioners, it doesn’t contain any oils or waxes that coat the hair and weigh it down. Some conditioners contain silicones that leave your hair feeling smooth, but they aren’t actually making the hair strand healthy. Our Crème Rinse contains key ingredients like rice proteins, aloe, and panthenol that work to keep the hair cuticle smooth, healthy and strong.

The cuticle is the outer layer and is covered in cells that resemble scales. When the hair is healthy, those scales lay flat and the cuticle is smooth. Why is it so important to have a smooth hair cuticle? Because that smooth surface means more shine and manageability. A head of smooth hair strands is moisturized and soft with less breakage and split ends.

Determining what the hair will look and feel like is not the only purpose of the cuticle, it has some other very important functions. First, it locks in moisture to keep the hair hydrated. Second, it protects the rest of the hair strand. With a strong, sealed cuticle, it’s more difficult to damage the very important inner layer, the cortex. The cortex is the primary source of strength, flexibility and water uptake so damaging it can be detrimental and permanent.

Our Advanced Crème Rinse is also free of sulfates and parabens. Not only are these chemicals not so great for your scalp, especially when you apply it daily, but they can also strip your hair of natural oils and amino acids that it needs to be healthy.

This product is a great way to keep your hair healthy and moisturized without harsh chemicals, while keeping it light and voluminous. To find out more about the Advanced Crème Rinse Moisturizer, click here. We’re so confident that you’ll feel a difference in your hair after using the Crème Rinse that it comes with a money back guarantee.

Now is a great time to try our entire Advanced Cell Therapy System because our Valentine’s Day Gift Set includes a 6oz version of the set, is priced at a 10% discount, and includes an adorable plush monkey – http://ovationhair.com/giftset.html.

Does Ovation Cell Therapy Work? Client Review

Mon, 14 Jan 2013 18:18:40 -0500

Thank you Pamela for sending us this wonderful testimonial! It makes us very happy to know that the product is working so well for you.

“All I can say is I was very skeptical to say the least about the Ovation Hair Care Products but decided what did I have to lose in trying them because I had lost almost all of my hair anyway. So I purchased my first set a couple of years ago and what a difference! I don’t know how your products work but they do!

My hair has almost completely grown back and while it is still baby fine the volume of hair is quadrupled! I just made a purchase to give a set to a very dear friend who is in the same boat I was just 2 years ago. I hope it works as well for her as it has for me…if it does she will be very pleased. Thank you for your products. They are truly a miracle for people like me who had nowhere to turn and no hope at all. I had even purchased several wigs to start wearing and now only wear them for fun every once in a while because my own hair has come back in such a way that I’m no longer ashamed.”

Taking a Multivitamin for Healthy Hair

Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:39:00 -0500

Here at Ovation, it’s no secret that we want you to have healthy hair. Because we don’t create miracles we can’t promise to create that for you, BUT with our product line specifically made to promote healthy hair and our knowledge of the how your hair works, we’d love to help you achieve the healthiest hair possible.

With that in mind, we’re developing a series of posts on the blog all about hair health. This series will include tips and tricks on both how to improve the hair you have and improve the health of future growth. Not only that, the tips we’ll discuss are meant to help you achieve Thicker, Stronger, and Longer hair! Some tips will be quick and easy, things you can do every day. Others may require a bit of dedication or explanation and we’ll dive into those too.

This series is meant to be interactive so let us know if you have input or suggestions. We’d love to hear what you you’d like to achieve and we can discuss ways in which to get there.

Today’s Healthy Hair Tip: Take a Multivitamin for Healthy Hair

There are multiple benefits to adding a multivitamin to your daily routine. Many of us don’t get the essential nutrients from the things we eat and a supplement can greatly improve the way our body works.

If our body works properly it’s going to produce the healthiest hair that it can. Our scalp also needs proper nutrition in order to function in the correct way. When looking for a daily supplement, there are certain vitamins in particular you’ll want to look for, that promote both overall health and hair health. Vitamins C, E, and B provide anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, and antioxidant effects. These properties sooth the scalp, decrease irritation, and protect cells and follicles resulting in healthy hair. Also look for vitamins that provide circulatory and digestive health like vitamin E and some of the B vitamins. When your digestive system works properly, you get the nutrients you need and a healthy circulatory system transports those nutrients to the scalp and hair follicle.

Ovation Hair has created a multivitamin that is not only formulated to promote overall health, but also includes herbs and extracts specifically known for their benefits to the hair and scalp*. This unique multivitamin contains 11 vitamins, 6 minerals, amino acids and extracts from exotic and all natural roots, herbs, plants, and fruits. These ingredients were specifically chosen for their abundant health properties and are a great source of vitamins and minerals that are crucial for overall health. Adding the Ovation Multivitamin to your daily routine is an easy and affordable way ($12.95 for a 60 supply) to achieve healthy hair. For specific information, ingredients, and to purchase the Ovation Vitamins click here.

Enjoy healthy (thicker, stronger, and longer) hair!

2013 New Year’s Resolutions that your Hair will Love

Wed, 02 Jan 2013 15:47:00 -0500

Can you believe 2013 is next week? The whole New Year’s resolution thing gets me very excited. It’s a good exercise not only because of the hope it brings for an upcoming new year and fresh start, but it also requires reflection and for me, a strong appreciation for the last year.

It’s interesting to think about what resolutions people make and why, the inspiration behind the decision, and whether they’ll follow through. There are of course the standard resolutions and those that are unique as we are. At Ovation we’re motivated by hair health so that is one thing I consider when deciding what resolutions to make.

These resolution ideas will not only make you feel great, they will give your hair a happy new year too!

Drink more water – Drinking more water is a great resolution because it’s measurable, attainable, wonderful for overall health and the health of your hair! Each strand of hair is made up of about 25% water, so your hair needs to stay hydrated to remain healthy. The scalp also needs water to keep the hair shaft moisturized. Each person should drink half their weight in oz of water per day. Whether this means cutting down on other drinks like sodas or just increasing your water intake, this is one easy resolution that has huge rewards.

Eat healthier, no junk food – Eating healthy is by far one of the most notorious of resolutions and probably also one of the first to be abandoned. Choosing a healthy diet benefits your hair immensely because it’s the most effective way for your body to get the nutrients it needs. If your body isn’t getting those nutrients, your scalp health becomes less of a priority and can deteriorate.

Know that healthy is an important word here and eating healthier and decreasing junk food is very different than losing weight in an unhealthy way. Severe weight loss and crash diets are one of the main reasons for hair loss.

Take a multivitamin – As mentioned above, the best thing you can do for your hair is to make sure your body is healthy, but even eating healthy doesn’t guarantee that you’re getting all the nutrients you need. Taking a daily multivitamin will provide you with a great source of vitamins and minerals that are crucial to good health. Another huge benefit to taking the right multivitamin is that it will keep your scalp, hair, and skin healthy as well.

We recently launched a multivitamin that includes vitamins that do just that. The Ovation Multivitamin also has added extracts from all natural roots, herbs, plants, and fruits that are known for their health and hair benefits.

Go natural – Many people are not only introducing natural and organic food items into their diets, but are also committing to the use of naturally derived body and hair care products. After all, these items are being consumed too when absorbed into the skin. By purchasing naturally derived products, you’re getting higher quality ingredients which of course make your scalp happy. You’re also avoiding harsh chemicals that could be building up on your scalp, causing irritation and possibly even worse.

Ovation products are naturally derived and contain vitamins, antioxidants, plant extracts, and aromatherapy scents that all work to promote healthy hair.

Quit smoking – We all know that smoking causes all types of health problems, so while your lungs and heart will be very happy without nicotine, so will your hair. Smoking is said to induce both premature hair loss and graying because it interferes with the circulation that the scalp and follicle need. Carbon Monoxide and other toxins found in cigarettes make it difficult for your cells to reproduce into healthy cells, including the cells needed for hair growth and strength.

When it comes to resolutions, the options are endless so whether you choose a resolution that benefits your hair or not, make this New Year a great one and may 2013 be your best year yet!

Cheers!

Fun, Interesting and Random Hair Facts – Post #1

Fri, 21 Dec 2012 12:37:03 -0500

Did you know that hair is the fastest growing tissue in your body or that hair can absorb its weight in water? My guess is that you didn’t know that and I’m assuming you’ll never need to, but hair gurus like us at Ovation think facts like these are kind of cool! In fact, there are so many cool and interesting hair facts out there that I’ve broken up this post into two parts.

While today’s Hair Fun Facts Post #1 may not fill you with a ton of useful information on hair health, it may provide a little entertainment and/or some fun conversation starters. Check them out:

The average person has between 100,000 and 150,000 strands of hair on their head.
A natural blonde usually has more hair strands then dark or red hair. Towheads generally have 120,000 strands; brown/black-haired people 100,000 strands, and redheads average about 80,000 strands.
Hair is the fastest growing tissue in the body. The only thing that grows faster is bone marrow.
Everybody sheds between 40-150 strands of hair per day.
Hair is made up of mostly keratin, which our outer layer of skin and fingernails are made out of. In animals, horns, hooves, claws, feathers, beaks, quills (porcupines), and baleen (whales) are all also made of keratin.
On an average adult scalp, 25 meters of hair fiber is produced every day.
At any random time, 90% of the hair on a head is in a growing phase, while the other 10% is in a resting phase.
Hair can absorb its weight in water.
The hair follicle contains its own muscle, nerve and blood supply.
Hair grows the fastest during the summer, sleep, or between the ages of 16 to 24.
The process of removing unwanted body hair dates back to the ancient Egyptians.
At one time, in Russia, there was a random tax for wearing a beard.
Humans have the same amount of hair follicles per square inch as a chimpanzee.
The first African-American hair products were created by Madam CJ Walker, the first American black woman to become a millionaire.
Body hair is generally shorter because the growing phase is a lot shorter than the growing phase of hair on the scalp.
Human hair and fingernails continue to grow in death.
Scientists have discovered that people with a higher IQ, have more zinc and copper in their hair.
The purpose of hair is to act as a thermal protection, since our head lacks the thermal insulation fat layers.
Less than 4% of the world’s population has natural red hair.
Research shows that hair becomes drier with age.
Gender is one thing that cannot be identified by a hair strand.
Stress can make dandruff worse.
The average American woman spends between 10-23 thousand dollars in a lifetime on unwanted hair removal.
The color of hair depends on how much melanin each strand has.
Men without hair on their chests are more likely to get cirrhosis of the liver than men with hair.
The human body has approximately 5 million hair follicles.
Alopecia is the medical term for hair loss.
The longest documented hair was measured in 2004. It belonged to Xie Qiuping from China, and measured 18.5 feet long.
For it to be apparent that you are balding, you would have to lose 50% of your hair.
Humans are born with all of their hair follicles and there is no possible way to increase the amount of hair follicles you have.
Hair turns grey as a result of the pigment cells in the hair follicle not working properly. The hair bulb slows melanin production as a result of age or stress.
A whole head of hair could support up to 2 tons.
The length of the growing phase of hair shortens as you age.
When you are born, you have about 1000 hair follicles per square centimeter. This number drops as you age.

Whether you’re one of the 4% natural redheads, have a head of hair that grows slower than others, or are looking to beat the world record in hair length, Ovation products can make the hair you have, the best hair it can be.

Enjoy and stay tuned for part #2!

I ordered Ovation because I had undergone chemotherapy during the first half of the year and was hoping that this would help my hair to grow back quicker. I have been COMPLETELY satisfied with the results and have told everyone every chance I get what an amazing product Ovation is. When I had my first follow up with my radiation doctor, she told me that I had about 2/3 more hair than other patients at their same 1 month follow up!! I ABSOLUTELY love the results!

Others may require a bit of dedication or explanation and we’ll dive into those too.

This series is meant to be interactive so let us know if you have input or suggestions. We’d love to hear what you you’d like to achieve and we can discuss ways in which to get there.

Today’s Healthy Hair Tip: Use a Wide Tooth Comb for Thicker Hair

Making the switch to a wide tooth comb from your everyday brush seems a little weird, right? There are a lot of people that think they serve two entirely different purposes. The fact is, they don’t and making that simple change can have huge benefits. Brushing your hair, especially vigorous brushing or with harsh bristle brushes can literally rip your hair apart. Not only does this break pieces off, it pulls healthy strands completely out, especially when the hair is wet. Over time this leaves your hair weak and lifeless.

Using a wide tooth comb gently detangles the hair so it decreases breakage and shedding which will keep your hair strong. Strong hair strands are thicker, creating an overall fuller head of hair. Sounds easy for some, but I know that using a comb like this won’t work for everyone every day. If you have a hair type where a wide tooth comb isn’t ideal for primary use, consider working it into your hair routine in some way. Decreasing brush use to a few times a week can make a difference. Remember it’s really important to be gentle; patience is the key to avoid breakage while detangling your hair. The best thing about today’s tip is that wide tooth combs are inexpensive. Even the best brands are under $5 so it’s at least worth giving it a try.

Healthier, thicker hair is within reach!

Holiday Party Hairstyles you can do at Home

Tue, 11 Dec 2012 13:22:22 -0500

Holiday parties are one of the reasons I love this time of year. Maybe it’s the holiday music, the comfort food, or the spiked eggnog that brings out the happy in all of us. Whether your fellow-party goers are friends, family, or co-workers, occasions like these are a great excuse to go glam. Holiday parties are one of the few times a year that it’s completely appropriate to pull out that sequin covered dress or sparkly stilettos. They are also one of the only times that most adults get a reason to rock an up-do or other formal hair style. While this fun and great, it’s also precisely why some of us don’t even know where to start.

As much as I’d love to have my hair professionally done for special occasions like holiday parties, it’s usually hard to make that happen. This means that by doing it on my own, I need not only inspiration and help deciding on a do, but also a step-by-step instruction guide on how to create it.

It’s times like these that I turn to Pinterest. Pinterest is a huge source of inspiration and ideas for up-dos and DIY hair styles. The Ovation Pinterest page of course has several hair related boards, but one in particular is great if you’re looking for hair tutorials. We’ve put together a board of “Hair How-Tos” that include classy, formal hairstyles, perfect for occasions like a holiday party, but are easy enough to do at home on your own and in under an hour. Whether you’re looking to wear your hair down, up, or somewhere in-between our board includes ideas that are sure to make your decision and holiday party hair prep a bit easier.

Here are some of my favorites from our Hair How To Board -

Vintage Waves – The vintage wave look is definitely a popular one and is a great way to curl your hair in maybe a different way than you normally do. Because it is a different curl, I recommend a trial run, just so you know that it works on your hair type. By the time your holiday parties come around, you’ll be able to pull it off in no time. Vintage waves works really well with cocktail attire and vintage accessories making it a brilliant look for winter parties.

Mini Twisted Buns – The best part about the mini bun look is that there is no exact way to create them. I personally like the fact that that the style is intended to look a bit messy, meaning you can mess it up and pull it off all at the same time! It’s great for hair of all types and lengths and is the easiest of the styles mentioned.

Braided Halo – For longer hair styles, the braided halo is a beautiful style for dressy occasions. There are several ways to create the halo, but each is classy, polished and hip. Braids in any form are trendy so if your hair isn’t long enough for a halo, you can always wrap a braid around a bun or add braided strands to an elegant ponytail.

No-Tease Bouffant – This bouffant tutorial is one of my favorites on Pinterest because I love any tip to help add volume without hair teasing. This voluminous bouffant looks pretty as it’s shown on our board (worn half down), but also would look great with a ponytail or bun.

Another way to take your hair from “everyday” to “holiday” is to add a festive hair accessory. A shiny or sparkly headpiece, headband or decorated bobby pins adds holiday cheer and makes whatever style you choose more sophisticated. If the above dos aren’t for you, check out the entire board and Ovation Pinterest page for additional ideas, inspiration and just plain pretty hair!

Remember that any hair style is only enhanced by hair products like a Thermal Protection Spray and a Volume Enhancer, especially sulfate free products like Ovation’s.

Good luck, have fun and happy holidays!

Promote Healthy Hair and Scalp with Ovation’s New Multivitamin

Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:48:50 -0500

We consider ourselves the experts when it comes to hair care products that improve the health of your hair. So who better than Ovation to create a multivitamin that can support those products from within?

That’s exactly why we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our brand new Healthy Hair and Scalp Multivitamins. They are available now!

The Ovation Multivitamin contains a propriety blend of ingredients that are specially formulated for those who want thicker, stronger, and longer hair*. The vitamin complements Ovation’s hair care line by promoting healthy hair, skin, and scalp from within*. This unique multivitamin contains 11 vitamins, 6 minerals, amino acids and extracts from exotic and all natural roots, herbs, plants, and fruits. These ingredients were specifically chosen for their abundant health properties and are a great source of vitamins and minerals that are crucial for overall health.

Whether you’re already taking a multivitamin or not, they are worth a try! Here’s why…

The BEST thing you can do for your hair is to make sure your body is healthy. Taking our supplement on a daily basis will provide you with a great source of vitamins and minerals that are crucial to good health. Another huge part of hair health is making sure that your scalp, hair, and skin are getting the proper nutrients as well. We have carefully chosen not only vitamins that do just that, but also extracts from all natural roots, herbs, plants, and fruits that are known for their health and hair benefits.

Check out the list:

Aloe Vera – Aloe is most commonly known for its soothing and healing affects on the skin. The plant contains protein, calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamins A, B12 and E, essential fatty acids and is also naturally rich in vitamin C and amino acids. It is said to have anti-inflammatory, anti- bacterial and anti-viral properties.
Burdock – Burdock consists primarily of carbohydrates, volatile oils, plant sterols, tannins, and fatty oils that are said to give it anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial effects.* Burdock is also a rich source of potassium, iron and calcium.
Ginger – Most commonly used as a cooking spice, ginger is also an herbal remedy. Ginger root contains phenols, a plant compound that is said to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Rosemary - Rosmarinic acid, a natural polyphenolic antioxidant found in rosemary, has been found to have anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant functions. Rosemary is one of most common herbs used for aromatherapy. The essential rosemary oil is a main ingredient in the industry of cosmetic products because of its analgesic, aromatizing, anti-inflammatory, effects.
Capsicum – Capsaicin is a flavorless, odorless chemical concentrated in the veins of chilies and peppers (aka Capsicum). Capsicum contains Vitamins A and C, and beta-carotene that are said to have antioxidant properties and neutralize the free radicals responsible for damaging tissue and cells.
Horsetail - Horsetail is a member of the Equisetaceae family; the sole survivor of a line of plants going back three hundred million years. The plant is high in silica, potassium, ascorbic acid, equisetonin and caffeic acid, all these contributing to its health benefits. The active components in horsetail have antimicrobial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory effects.
Nettle Leaf – Nettle leaf has been used medicinally for hundreds of years for its anti-inflammatory properties. This herbal remedy has been used for a variety of reasons, from alleviating the symptoms of arthritis to flushing out toxins from the body and reducing water retention.
Saw Palmetto Berries – Saw palmetto is an extract derived from the berries of the saw palmetto fan palm. It’s been used for hundreds of years in several forms of herbal medicine as a diuretic and anti-inflammatory.
Red Sage – the Red Sage plant, also known as sage, is derived from the Latin meaning “to save.” This herb had an early reputation to be a cure-all. Sage contains a variety of antioxidants — in the form of volatile oils, flavonoids and phenolic acids. Sage also contains antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase.

Most of the herbs and extracts have anti-something affects…antibacterial, anti-histamine, anti-biotic, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic. These properties are very beneficial to the body as a whole, but you may be wondering how an anti-histamine or antibiotic can help improve hair and scalp health so let me explain…

Anti-inflammatory ingredients can sooth scalp irritation and inflammation causes many of the problems associated with unhealthy hair. Anti-bacterial and anti-histamine components can treat many of the causes of scalp irritation. Antioxidants are crucial in protecting cells from damage, including hair follicle and scalp cells. They are said to prevent hair loss and boost growth. Anti-fungal and anti-septic elements are helpful in treating a variety of scalp issues, including dandruff, eczema, and psoriasis.

The vitamins, minerals and amino acids included in the Ovation multivitamin are as follows: Vitamin A, C, E, B1, B2, Niacin, B6, Folic Acid, B12, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, Calcium, Iron, Phosphorus, Zinc, Copper, and Lysine.

These vitamins, like the herbs and extracts, also have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects as well as circulatory and digestive health benefits.* Why are these benefits important for hair health? An active, healthy digestion process allows your body to absorb nutrients that is needs and a healthy circulatory system help deliver those nutrients to your scalp. The result is healthier hair!

Another great thing about our vitamins? The price! We’re offering a 60 day supply for only $12.95. That is definitely a small price to pay for healthy hair and scalp. They are also gluten and soy free! http://ovationhair.com/vitamins.html

Enjoy :)

Five Things You Can Do Every Day for Healthier Hair

Fri, 16 Nov 2012 17:42:36 -0500

Improving the health of your hair is definitely not something you can do overnight. It is a process that takes time, patience and dedication. For a results oriented person like me, this can be discouraging and with all the different ways to improve hair health, I get a bit overwhelmed. If you’re at all like me, you may think to yourself, “Where do I even begin?”

One way is to start small, so I found five easy and most importantly doable steps you can take on a daily basis to improve and maintain your hair health.

Drink lots of water – Everyone knows that drinking lots of water is necessary for overall health, but many don’t realize how important water is for you hair. Each strand of hair is made up of about 25% water. The body and scalp need that water to keep the hair shaft moisturized. Each person needs 8-10 8oz glasses of water every day and even more if you drink coffee, alcohol or work out. Think about this next time you want to skip out on the water…hydrated hair is healthy hair!

Use heat protection – Most people expose heat to their hair every day, whether its sunlight, a blow-dryer, curling or straight iron and this exposure can cause major damage. Because we’re so dependent on heated styling tools and treatments, it would be very difficult to eliminate heat exposure, but there is an easy step to decrease it: Use a heat or thermal protection spray. This type of product coats the hair and protects the strands from breakage and dehydration. Ovation’s Thermal Protection Spray not only protects the hair from heat, it also has naturally derived ingredients that moisturize the hair and make it more manageable throughout the day.

Take a supplement – Hair grows best when the body and scalp have all the nutrients they need. If you’re not consuming those vitamins and nutrients in the food you eat, taking a supplement can greatly improve the health of your hair. Multivitamins that includes B Vitamins like Biotin and Folic Acid, Vitamin A and E, and minerals such as Phosphorus and Zinc are especially beneficial for hair.

Use sulfate free hair products – Sulfate free shampoos provide a gentle cleanse without stripping the scalp of essential oils that it needs to produce healthy hair. By using sulfate free hair care products, you also avoid exposing the scalp to harsh and potentially harmful chemicals. A healthy scalp = a healthy head of hair so when it comes to hair care products, I say go natural!

Scalp massage – Who doesn’t love a good scalp massage? Well, here’s an excuse to give yourself one on a daily basis…your hair loves it! Massaging the scalp, even if just for a few minutes stimulates and increase blood flow to both the scalp and hair follicle. It can even increase the strength of the hair root, making the hair strands stronger and thicker.

These tasks are not only easy, quick, and beneficial for your hair, most of them are great for your general health as well, why not give them a try?

Remember, healthier hair is within reach!
