RESTORIA DISCREET FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What makes hair go gray or white?
A: Melanin is the pigment that determines your natural hair color. As we age, the levels of melanin in our body start to decrease which in turn causes your hair to go gray.

Q. How does Restoria Discreet work?
A. Restoria Discreet is not a dye. Restoria Discreet works with the hair's natural chemicals to restore natural looking color. The hair gradually develops the same rich blends of highlights and shades found in natural human hair. It does this by counteracting the effect of pigment starvation in the cortex of the hair.

Q. When will I see results?
A. Restoria Discreet gets rid of gray hair gradually. It works slowly over two to three weeks to return natural looking color to the hair. It gradually turns gray or white hair a golden brown, then, day by day a medium brown then dark brown to black if desired. There is no sudden change. Your friends will only notice how much younger you look.
