Hair treatment for dry hair: what to use?
What solutions are there for treating dry and brittle hair?
Damaged and dull-looking hair can be a real daily hassle. Beyond the aggression of free radicals, the hair fiber is quickly weakened by the frequent use of heating appliances and inappropriate hair products. It is therefore necessary to establish a hair beauty routine with the right care products to preserve its softness, strength, and flexibility.
Characteristics of dry hair
Before turning to any hair care product, the priority remains to identify the cause of your problems. Weak, dull, and prone to breakage hair is often the result of a lack of sebum secretion. Indeed, when the sebaceous glands do not produce enough sebum, the hydrolipidic film no longer fulfills its role as a barrier to protect the hair from dehydration and environmental aggressions. As a result, the scales open and allow the water trapped in the heart of the hair fiber to escape. The hair then becomes dry and even more vulnerable to external attacks.
In addition to a lack of sebum, hair dryness and breakage can also be exacerbated by improper hair care. Frequent use of hair dryers, straighteners, and coloring also destroys keratin and worsens the thatched roof effect on your head. External factors such as pollution, UV rays, chlorine, and seawater also contribute to the deterioration of the hair fiber, which loses its suppleness and shine.
Deep care with food supplements
To regain strong and healthy hair, a course of dietary supplements may be necessary to provide deep repair. Among the essential active ingredients for beautiful hair, keratin is the essential ally for strengthening weakened hair. It is a protein made up of 17 essential amino acids and represents 80% to 95% of the hair fiber. This molecule gives hair its elasticity, strength, and shine. A lack of keratin can lead to weakening of the hair fiber and make hair more brittle and dull.
To repair dry and damaged hair , choose the Keratine forte® Full Spectrum food supplement from Biocyte laboratories. This formula provides hair with an optimal supply of keratin to restore its vitality. This food supplement also contains vitamin B6 which boosts the synthesis of cysteine, an amino acid naturally present in keratin and which contributes to strengthening the hair structure. Keratine forte® Full Spectrum is also formulated with zinc, biotin and alfalfa which act in synergy to preserve the health and vitality of the hair. Horsetail contributes to hair growth and improves its resistance.
In addition to keratin-based dietary supplements, brewer's yeast formulas are also recommended for repairing dry hair. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, brewer's yeast provides the bulb with the nutrients needed to strengthen the fiber and stimulate hair growth.
The right care products for hair care
Since dry and damaged hair is particularly sensitive, it needs regular pampering to restore its beauty. First and foremost, you should choose a hair care line that's suited to your hair type, many of which are found in the Biocyte product ranges. Choose a shampoo for dry hair enriched with active ingredients that deeply nourish and moisturize the hair fiber. Formulas based on ceramides, essential fatty acids, vitamins, or vegetable oil are ideal for gently washing hair while preserving its moisture, especially if it's already weakened. However, it's recommended to space out shampoos to avoid damaging the hydrolipidic film and damaging the hair fiber.
Dry hair care: daily steps to take
Hair that dries out easily is already sensitive by nature. That's why it's important to adopt the right habits to limit split ends and breakage. If your hair is dry, apply a mask for dry hair once or twice a week. This treatment, packed with moisturizing agents, will help preserve the moisture in the hair fiber. After shampooing, rinse your hair with lukewarm or cold water to help the cuticles close. Also, air dry your hair or simply pat it dry with a soft towel, avoiding friction. You should limit the use of thermal appliances, as heat tends to dry out hair and make it even more brittle.
