Question

What is the recommended concentration of GHK-Cu for stimulating hair growth and applying it to the scalp? Are there different recommendations for GHK-Cu solutions (like 1000ppm or 10000ppm) versus GHK-Cu powder (purity > 98%)? Additionally, are there considerations for application method and specific scalp conditions like oiliness?

Answer

GHK-Cu Concentration for Hair Growth

Based on product information and staff recommendations, the suggested concentration for using GHK-Cu to stimulate hair growth is similar to the concentration used for skin.

  • For GHK-Cu solutions (such as 1000ppm or 10000ppm concentrations), the recommended usage rate is typically 1-3%.
  • For GHK-Cu powder (purity higher than 98%), the recommended usage rate is typically 0.01% - 1%.

When applying the formulation to the scalp, ensure you use enough product to reach the hair roots effectively.

Additionally, as the staff mentioned, if hair loss is related to an oily scalp, consider incorporating ingredients that help reduce oiliness, such as Zinc PCA or Licorice Extract, into your formulation alongside GHK-Cu.
