The recipe calls for using unsalted shampoo, 1ml of Monovin A and 1ml of Bepantol solution, both for every 100ml of shampoo.

The great controversy in this composition revolves around Monovin A, which is a high concentration of vitamin A, which indicates the need for the shampoo to be without salt, so that it does not cancel out the vitamin.

The product, normally found in farm houses, is used on horses, to strengthen the mane, as dermatologist Bruno Vargas adds: “Monovin A is a concentrate of vitamin A developed to treat the deficiency of this in animals, therefore, of use exclusive veterinarian. In addition, as stated in the package insert, it is an injectable and non-topical product, and there is no recommendation for use in humans”.

Is it worth using this mixture?

It is common to find many reviews from bloggers who have used the product and approved it, mainly due to the intense growth of the hair. Many make posts comparing the growth in the period of a month and the “filling” of the hair is visible, giving an impression that the wires have multiplied.

In contrast to the reports of bloggers and even ordinary people who have tested the combination, there is the opinion of specialized professionals, such as Dr. Bruno, who warn of the consequences of use: “Another point to be considered is that if the formula is used on people with oily scalps, this can make the skin in the region even more oily and worsen the fall, as the oiliness of the scalp – seborrheic dermatitis – is a cause of hair loss.”

The specialist also points out that vitamin A deficiency, which impairs the growth and health of hair, should be treated orally, always under the supervision of a doctor.

Alternatives for hair growth

The incessant search for alternatives to speed up the hair growth makes women continue in the search for an ideal product, and this search is even more intense among those who use chemicals in their hair, which consequently causes greater hair breakage, hair loss and growth difficulties.

According to Dr. Bruno, some hair characteristics are genetically determined and some nutritional deficiencies can change it, both in growth and fall.

The professional also adds: “A dermatological evaluation is important for a correct diagnosis and subsequent treatment. There are situations in which hair loss increases, such as when there are hormonal changes, seborrheic dermatitis on the scalp, stress or nutritional deficiency. There is no miracle formula for good hair health; it is necessary that all the aforementioned causes are diagnosed and treated”.
