Apparantly it can make your hair grow up to 40% faster(LOL)
Most feminine/fake/cheesy advert ever but what do you expect from a long hair product :/.
ime just about to run out of my current stock of shampoo/conditioner and ime tempted just to try this stuff even if it dosent make my hair grow faster the products aren't poor quality.
Here are my four cents...
If they are making a special blend with "amino acids" they need to know what amino acids are. The molecule they show is this:
W W
\ /
W-G-G-G=P
/ \
W P
which is most likely supposed to be:
H H
\ /
H-C-C-C=O
/ \
H O
and it should be instead:
H H
\ /
H-N-C-C=O
/ / \
H R O
And so...these are my beefs...
1. They do not have the nitrogen where it should be (the spheres are the same color along the backbone).
2. They completely left off the R-group.
3. Not only did they leave off the R-group, the middle carbon only has three bonds.
4. A lack of labeled charges...which is only a minor beef. Of course, they did, perhaps accidentally, get the physiologically correct ionic condition of the carboxylic acid losing the hydrogen and the amino group gaining a hydrogen.
Anyway, if they have a special amino acid formula, they should have the chemists and biologists to provide their marketing people a good picture. I don't know, seeing that molecule makes me want to distrust them and their "scientifically-superior formula". So, I am keeping my distance.
Of course, I doubt that nutrients can be absorbed transdermally on the scalp...
Sorry, my molecules did not turn out...so another try...
...should be W3G-G(W)-GPP
should be H3C-CH-COO
should be H3N-CHR-COO
and by the way, the simplest amino acid is glycine H3N-CH2-COO...if they had the other hydrogen on there I'd feel better about it...
