Kastenbein & Bosch Hair Care Products
No matter how many times you cut your hair, they grow again. Namely approximately 0.03 mm every day. Thus on average it grows about one centimeter a month. How much time did Rapunzel need to grow her magnificent head of hair? Metres long hair is indeed not an invention of the Brothers Grimm but still very rarely. Because our hair usually has a growth phase of 2-6 years. If it is not cut within this time, it extends at most up to one’s waist. After about one meter there is an end for most. In exceptional cases, however, the growth phase lasts for several decades. In 2004 the Chinese Xie Qiuping made it into the Guinness Book of Records. With a hair length of 5.60 meters she would certainly have been able to compete with Rapunzel. Only the hair of Tran Van Hay of Vietnam was longer. His hair came to an impressive 6.80 meters and tipped the scales at more than 10 kilos. To not be impaired in everyday life, he wrapped them spirally in a turban on his head. However, he was so loaded that he could not get into a car or even wear a motorcycle helmet. After he has not been at the hairdresser for over 30 years, he had to switch to a bike.
Whether your own hair has a particularly long period of growth, can only be found out by doing a self-experiment. Outer indications of potentially extra long hair do not exist. In contrast it can be estimated how many hairs someone has on the head in total on the basis of hair color. Blondes have about 150,000 hairs, brunettes reach up to 110,000 and black haired about 100,000 hairs. Redheads come in last with 90,000 hairs. But black and red hair is usually firmer. Regardless of how much hair you have; after about 6 years of growth, they get in the ”resting phase“. Then they stop growing, fall off individually and are replaced by newly growing hair. It is quite normal to lose between 100-150 hairs every day. However, most people do hardly realize this process.
No matter how long we wear our hair, it is essential for the public image. Therefore, if you want to change your appearance, you usually start with the hairstyle. Shoulder-length, parted, braided to pigtails or shaved half, there are countless opportunities to emphasize one’s personality. But how to care best for the hair? This question is raised repeatedly by two hairdressers from Cologne. Hairdressers hold a large number of hair care products in their hands every day, brought by customers themselves or offered by the industry. Dry hands and allergic reactions are therefore typical ”hairdressers' diseases“.
To counteract this, the hairdressers Roger Kastenbein and Stefan Bosch began to develop their own care and styling products in 2004. Their brand Kastenbein & Bosch relies exclusively on natural ingredients and dispenses 100 percent with synthetic ingredients. The hair care products based on natural ingredients by Kastenbein & Bosch meet the high standards of the two founders in terms of consistency, volume, shine and resilience.
With their hair care products Kastenbein & Bosch also focus on superfoods. But they do not end up on the plate but in the hair. Kastenbein & Bosch Chia Shampoo is a shampoo for daily hair washing. With natural ingredients such as hemp, pure argan oil and chia extract it provides the hair with shine, volume and strength. Thanks to its mild formulation it can be used by the entire family. The Chia Conditioner brings shine and smoothness to the hair. In the early 1930s to the '50s there was a styling product that no man wanted to do without: the hair wax. With this fat wax one could mimic the hairstyles of one’s idols. After all, Gary Grant's side parting and the quiffs of Elvis Presley and John Travolta characterized entire styling generations. Perfect hold and shine for all rockabillies and rockabellas!
In the Orient, a well-groomed beard is the pride of a man. For many centuries men there relied on beard oil when it comes to beard grooming. Kastenbein & Bosch continue this long tradition. The Beard Oil by Kastenbein & Bosch not only gives beards shine, shape and smoothness, but also an invigorating scent of cedar wood. The full, dark and shiny hair of Arab beauties arouses the interest of the western world again and again. The secret is easy to disclose: Many oriental women dismiss modern hair cosmetics. They dye their hair with henna, care for the scalp with sour milk and support brows, eyelashes and hair tips with a natural vegetable oil. The Hair Oil by Kastenbein & Bosch cares for dry hair tips with argan oil and spoils the hair with the scent of vanilla and blood oranges. The certified products of Kastenbein & Bosch combine unique recipes of all-natural ingredients with 100% care. For a natural hair care.
