Answer: UfB™ is a 100% herbal hair care product. It  supplies naturally occuring nutrients to  hair by providing short chain amino acids, fatty acids, enzymes, and minerals of natural origin to compensate for dietary deficiencies and/ or digestive defects with respect to particular amino acids required for hair protein (sulphur containing amino acids), hair pigment, and lipid synthesis by the sebaceous gland. The ingredients act as precursor of above mentioned nutrition, as a carrier of the nutrients, as a stimulant for hair follicle metabolism, and as infection preventors (bacteriostatic, bacteriocide). Moreover, herbal ingredients contained in UfB™  allow environmental pollutants to bind loosely to hair, so that they can be washed off easily and without the need of chemical surfactants. UfB™ protects hair and scalp from dust settling, and from the clogging of sebaceous gland secretion. Chemical (synthetic) detergents damage both hair and scalp. The harsh chemicals  break linkages of hair keratin and allow further thinning of the hair. The herbs contained in UfB™ provide nutrition to hair and has protective value. Their combined effect help control thinning of the hair, unless it is genetic or due to medical conditions. 

Question:What causes Dandruff and/ or Seborrheic dermatitis?

Answer: Dandruff is the result of scalp’s natural self-cleaning process. It is not a constant condition although it causes nothing more than social embarrassment. Over-shampooing dries the hair and the scalp and chemically induces a continual state of dry skin. And what happens when the skin is too dry? It flakes.  Seborrheic dermatitis is completely a different condition, although it is often mistaken for dandruff as it also causes scalp flaking.  It is primarily an inflammation of patches of the scalp, but it may also appear on the face, hairy areas of the trunk of the body, or in skin folds, particularly behind the ears. It causes skin to flake from red, inflamed patches in the affected areas, may cause intense itching, and usually gets worse with stress or poor health. Seborrhea is caused from over secretion of sebaceous glad (sebum) to cover the hair shaft, and seborrheic dermatitis is the  disease caused by deposition of seborrhea at the hair root thereby causing infection. A medicated shampoo improves the appearance of seborrhea but do not alter the course of the disease. Application of cortisone, hydro-cortisone or dehydro-cortisone will offer temporary benefits and its repeated or continuous use will do more harm than doing any long lasting benefits.

Question:  How does UfB™ help in controlling dandruff and seborrhea?

Answer: The herbal ingredients contained in UfB™ provide short chain amino acids, fatty acids, enzymes, and minerals of natural origin required for hair protein, and lipid synthesis by the sebaceous gland. The ingredients act as precursor of above mentioned nutrition, as a carrier of the nutrients, as a stimulant for hair follicle metabolism, and as infection preventors (bacteriostatic, bacteriocide). The combined effect of herbs also protects hair and scalp from dust settling as it cleanses hair and scalp, and normalize hyper secretion of sebum, thereby controling dandruff, seborrhea, scalp flaking and itching.  

Question: How is hair conditioning different from hair damage repair?

Answer: Hair conditioners provide a superficial finish to the outer coating of the hair, and give a cosmetic effect,  whereas, the histology of hair repair is linked with integration of tissues towards the binding strength of the hair keratin which is the structure of hair sheath. The later has a medicinal effect.  

Question: How does UfB™ help in controlling and repairing hair damage?

Answer:  UfB™ supplies nutrition to the hair by providing short chain amino acids, fatty acids, enzymes, and minerals of natural origin. These natural ingredients act as precursor of above mentioned nutrition, as a carrier of the nutrients, as a stimulant for hair follicle metabolism, and as infection preventors (bacteriostatic, bacteriocide). The ingredients provide an outer coating to the hair to protect hair lipids for suppleness, and also work from within through absorption of the nutrients by hair shaft/ follicle. The combined effect of these herbs provide is as it controls and repairs hair damage (split-ends, hair cracking etc.) by rebuilding the cross linkages of hair keratin, and also makes hair pliable and maintaining natural buoyancy of the hair. Thus UfB™ provides a truly nutritional effect to the hair.

Question: Can I use UfB™ on permed hair?

Answer: Yes, you can use UfB™ on permed hair. Perming requires heat and utilizes synthetic chemicals. Unfortunately, it  damages hair, makes it brittle, and prompts premature graying. The best option is to use UfB™ before you perm, as it would give some protection (instead of none) from excessive hair damage.

Question: Is it safe to use UfB™ after I color my hair?

Answer: Yes, it is safe to use UfB™ after your hair color…but please remember that regular coloring of hair is detrimental to your hair health. A chemical compound known as p-phenyldamine, is used as one of the ingredients in hair color; it causes hair damage. So, it is better to use UfB™ first, and then use hair color, because UfB™ acts as a primer and reduces further damage to your hair.
