Every hair problem has a solution, but do you know what’s happening on your scalp?

CRLAB is proud to announce the launch of our CRLAB supplements in the US. Hair reflects a person's emotional state. Several factors can affect the health of hair and scalp, obstructing the hair's growth cycle, texture, and longevity. The most common reasons for hair loss are genetic hormonal imbalance, stress, lack of sleep, fatigue, nutritional deficiencies of vitamins and minerals, and taking some medications, along with several other factors such as assimilation of nutrients in the body and aggressive styling.

We will demonstrate in our class a CRLAB Trico test with our revolutionary software and Trico test equipment and show a live Trico-test on AHLC attendees. We will show you what a scalp up close scalp looks like with our state-of-the-art blue light camera, and we will check hydration, sebum and PH level.

CRLAB,  for over 50 years is the world's leader in the thickening sector of the well-being of skin and hair and has developed five new food supplements with innovative and revolutionary formulations. Every supplement acts precisely on a specific problem closely related to hair loss. Our CRLAB supplements are launching in the US in June/July 2024, and we are excited to share the benefits of the CRLAB supplements with you at this year's AHLC conference.
