Pro Vitamin B5 Hair Benefits

Choose Smooth, Shiny Hair with Pro Vitamin B5

By Pro Vitamin B5 has excellent benefits for the hair.

Pro-vitamin B5 is a derivative of vitamin B5, found in plants and other foods. Also known as panthenol, it supports healthy skin and hair when metabolised by the body. It’s also used as an ingredient in topical hair and skin care products to condition and soften.

Pro-vitamin B5 (and this is scientifically proven) is able to penetrate the outer layer of the hair (The Cuticle). That means it can get moisture to the hair’s core (The Cortex)

Oh my goodness! After one use, I didn’t recognise the feel of my hair as that of my own! The reviews are all accurate – this product is mind blowing! So much so that after only one use, I’ve ordered another two – one for each of my beloved sisters!
Rashpal
Was a little skeptical about this product but so glad I ordered it. It definitely lives up to what it says on the website. No frizz, soft silky hair with a great shine. I was suffering from very dry frizz hair due to dehydrated ends – I’ve only had it for three weeks and used it once a week and every time I use it I get asked what I use to get a great shine!
Karen
Beautiful product, smells great, I’ve been using it twice a week for a few weeks now and can see the difference already (as can my hairdresser), my hair is really shiny and in great condition.
Clare
This is the most amazing hair masque. I have used it for years and it makes the condition of my hair lovely, and smells wonderful.

Norris Ogario

Norris Ogario is founder and Creative Director of Ogario London. Developed in his London salon, the Ogario London haircare products reflect his belief that hydration is the key to fixing most hair problems. Hydrated hair can be styled with ease. Plus, hydration leaves hair shiny and healthy. Norris has over 35 years of hair know-how. With expertise in all hair types; from dry hair to fine or grey hair, from frizzy hair to damaged or bleached hair, curly hair and afro hair, Norris has created a healthy hair blog to share his expert advice.

I write about all aspects of healthy, shiny hair. From preventing frizzy hair to stopping split ends and styling bob hairstyles I share my experience of how to get the best from hair.

Whether I’m working with hair, writing about hair or developing hair care products I stay true to 3 principles.

1. Less is More

This is a principle I have adhered to all my hairdressing career and it gets the best results. I like to minimise the heat stress to hair from heated styling tools and take a simpler approach to styling. Over working the hair can leave it dry, damaged and flat. A simple approach is the best way to add volume to hair and keep hair looking and feeling smooth and shiny.

2. Hair needs Moisture

Moisture is the foundation of good hair care. Hair needs a routine of deep conditioning to stay frizz free and retain flexibility and strength. When it has moisture, hair elasticity is maintained, making hair easier to style.

3. Great Hair Care is Holistic

Holistic in the context of hair care is about making sure we eat a healthy, balanced diet and that we feed our hair with nourishing products. Maintaining hydration in the body contributes to good quality hair growth. Using nourishing hair products ensures our hair can retain moisture.

You’ll see these principles threaded through my blogs. My goal is to share the simplest tools and techniques to give you easy ways to care for and style your hair at home.

Ogario London is a salon developed range of natural hair care products. Because we are passionate about our products, delivering the best results is at the heart of what we do.
