Nutrition: a fundamental need for gorgeous hair

Even if they only make up 3% of the hair fiber, lipids are crucial in protecting locks from environmental damage, preventing breakage, limiting water loss within the fiber, improving elasticity and boosting shine.

Unfortunately, unlike those found in skin, these lipids don’t regenerate and their loss is irreversible. As a result, it’s important to nourish the fiber in order to protect the reserves or, for dry or damaged hair, to compensate for what’s lacking.

Nutrition and hair type

All hair types need nourishment to be strong, shiny and easy to style. This is even more the case for textured hair or hair damaged by heat or chemical treatments (bleaching, straightening, etc.), in which case it requires special care.

Kinky, coily, and curly hair tends to be drier because its spiraled structure makes it more difficult for sebum to evenly coat the fiber. It needs an outside source of added nutrition to limit tangling, breakage, and frizz.

Damaged hair suffers from a lack of lipids, which causes problems at the cuticle. The cuticle is weakened and no longer able to properly protect the internal structure of each strand of hair. Lipid balance must be restored to restore softness and limit drying, as well as the emergence of split ends.
