Dry hair

Dry hair care to deeply nourish and hydrate

Dry hair needs special attention to restore suppleness, softness and shine. A tailored routine can help restore vitality without weighing the hair down.

How to recognise dry and damaged hair?

Dry hair generally displays the following characteristics:

• split and brittle ends,

• lack of suppleness,

• dull hair that feels rough to the touch,

• difficulty detangling.

The hair fibre appears weakened and may lack natural shine.

Why do we get dry hair?

Several factors can explain this imbalance.

Lack of hydration and sebum

It is important to distinguish between hydration and nutrition:

• Hydration refers to the supply of water to the hair fibre.

• Nutrition refers to the supply of lipids (oils, butters) that strengthen the protective barrier.

A lack of sebum or water gradually weakens the hair.

External aggressions and heat

Sun, wind, pollution, hair dryers, straighteners and curling tongs can damage the hair fibre and worsen dryness.

Colouring and chemical treatments

Repeated colouring, bleaching or chemical treatments can sensitise the hair structure and make it more vulnerable.

What routine should you follow for dry hair?

A complete routine combines gentleness, hydration and nutrition.

1. Cleanse without stripping: Opt for a gentle shampoo such as the Nourishing & Restorative Shampoo Bar or the Palm-free Neutral Shampoo Base customised with hydrating active ingredients.

2. Hydrate the fibre: Native Aloe Vera Gel, Vegetable Glycerin or Hyaluronic Acid Concentrated Serum can help maintain the hair fibre's hydration.

3. Deeply nourish: Apply a hair mask enriched with vegetable oils (Organic Coconut, Avocado, Argan, Cacay) or butters (Shea, Mango).

4. Strengthen and protect: Active ingredients such as Phytokeratin, Hydrolysed Rice Proteins, Provitamin B5, Plant Ceramides or the Keratin AA, Peptides & Hyaluronic Acid Hair Serum help strengthen the hair fibre. A protective hair oil can help protect against daily aggressions.

Which ingredients should you choose for dry hair?

Certain active ingredients are particularly well suited:

• Nourishing vegetable oils (Coconut, Avocado, Argan) to strengthen the lipid barrier.

• Hydrating actives (Aloe Vera, Vegetable Glycerin, Urea, Intense Hydration Complex).

• Plant proteins and keratin to support the hair fibre.

How to avoid drying out your hair on a daily basis?

To preserve the balance of your hair, avoid washing too frequently and using water that is too hot. Also limit the use of heat styling tools or use a protective treatment. Protect your hair from the sun and external aggressions. Finally, opt for products suited to your hair type rather than overly stripping formulas.
