Is there credible evidence that herbal or Ayurvedic products can help reduce hair fall or promote hair quality?

Yes — there are multiple human studies over the years in India and overseas showing that certain botanical/Ayurvedic-style formulations reduce shedding, improve scalp health or strengthen hair shafts. Of course, outcomes vary depending on hair & scalp initial condition, consistency of use, and lifestyle factors.

Will u.elem products suit my hair/scalp type (oily, dry, straight, curly)?

Yes. Our formulas are crafted to work across hair & scalp types. The Ayurvedic-inspired botanicals are gentle and supportive, while the clinical actives are well-researched and efficient at improving hair health. We always recommend a patch test (behind ear or on a small scalp patch) before full use.
If you experience discomfort, stop use and consult a dermatologist.

What is the difference between “Growth Elixir” (serum-type) and Oiling? When should I use each?

 

Growth Elixir (serum-type)

Oiling / Herbal Oil

Texture / feel

Light, fast-absorbing, non-greasy

Richer, may feel heavier, takes longer to absorb

Main purpose

Targeted support: boost scalp condition, support follicles, improve visible hair quality (shine, fewer breakages)

Deep nourishment: longer contact time, moisturise, condition both scalp & hair shafts

Frequency

More frequent (designed for daily or almost-daily use) in small amounts

Less frequent (1-3 times/week depending on your needs), often longer-duration application (hours or overnight)

When best used

Daily for ongoing nourishment of scalp & helping hair quality over time

For routine maintenance, relaxation, when hair is dry, after styling/chemical stress, or when scalp feels neglected

Does external hair-care alone deliver all results — or do lifestyle factors also matter?

External care is very important, but hair health also depends on internal & lifestyle factors: diet, sleep, hydration, stress, hormones, scalp hygiene. For example: sufficient protein, micronutrients (iron, zinc, B-vitamins) and stress-management help your hair-follicle ecosystem work at its best. To get lasting results, we recommend combining our external care with good internal habits.

Will these products help if I already have noticeable thinning or weak hair?

Our formulations aim to strengthen existing hair, reduce breakage, support healthier scalp and improve fullness/texture. They may not reverse every kind of thinning (especially advanced/largely hereditary cases), but many users with early-to-moderate thinning see improvements in how full their hair feels, less breakage and better manageability.

Are u.elem products cruelty-free, gender-neutral and suitable for everyone?

Yes. Our brand is committed to cruelty-free practices. Our products are formulated to be gender-neutral (which means suitable for men & women) and we use inclusive language. We design our ranges so that many users — across genders, hair types and concerns — can benefit.

Can I use u.elem products if I colour, perm or straighten my hair (i.e., have chemically treated hair)?

Yes — generally our products are safe for hair that has been coloured, permed or straightened. In fact, such hair often benefits from the extra nourishment and scalp-support we offer. If you have recently undergone a chemical treatment, we recommend starting with the lighter-use regime (e.g., Growth Elixir daily, oiling 1×/week) and adjusting based on how your hair responds.
