What care for dry and damaged hair?

Tips for Repairing Dry and Damaged Hair


For some time now, you've been feeling like you've been growing a thatched roof over your head. Your hair is coarse, dull, and has brittle ends. All of these characteristics simply mean that your hair is dry and severely damaged. But don't panic, because there are solutions. To quickly improve the condition of your hair, combine hair care, a dietary supplement regimen, and simple maintenance steps.

Pamper your hair with suitable treatments


When you have damaged hair, only use products designed for damaged hair . Dry hair care provides the hair with the necessary amount of lipids for protection and repair. Dry hair does not indicate a lack of water, but a major problem with sebum production. This essential fatty substance is responsible for protecting hair against external aggressions such as wind, sun, cold and sea bathing. To wash dry hair, choose shampoos rich in nourishing active ingredients – oils and ceramides – instead of degreasing components. These are very foamy and damage the keratin in the hair, which is the source of its strength and suppleness. To cleanse your hair, consider, for example, Kératine forte® shampoo – keratin shampoo – from Biocyte. Formulated with keratin, this shampoo for damaged hair gently removes impurities accumulated on the hair.

It nourishes, repairs and gives hair shine and volume. This Keratin forte cleansing treatment also contains Boket extract. This plant native to Asia is known and used for its gentle and smoothing cleansing properties. Combining plant ceramides, Boket extracts and keratin,Keratin forte masque® from Biocyte is a cocooning treatment for damaged hair. Thanks to its active ingredients, this mask repairs damaged and dry hair by nourishing it deeply. This treatment also helps to protect and strengthen hair . To enhance hair , combine this nourishing hair mask with Biocyte keratin shampoo.

Improve hair condition with a course of food supplements

In addition to using treatments for dry and damaged hair, don't hesitate to take a course of dietary supplements. They can help you fill in any gaps that may be causing dull, lifeless hair. To maximize the effectiveness of your treatment, focus on certain active ingredients such as:

— Brewer's yeast, which has purifying properties for the skin, and therefore for the scalp as well. Rich in vitamin B, minerals, vitamins and proteins, brewer's yeast helps strengthen hair shafts;
— Royal jelly which also strengthens the hair fiber;
— Soy lecithin, which is also used in many hair care products for damaged, dry, and fine hair. This active ingredient moisturizes and revitalizes hair.

For dietary supplements to truly benefit your body, follow the recommended duration of the treatment. This should be done as part of a healthy lifestyle and a healthy, balanced, and varied diet.

Adopt simple hair care gestures

To avoid further damaging damaged and dry hair, adopt a few simple maintenance steps. For example, it is recommended:

— Limit washing dry and damaged hair to once a week;
— Avoid using hair care products containing sulfates/sulfites and silicones;
— Wash/rinse hair with cold or lukewarm water;
— To limit as much as possible the use of heating devices;
— To favor the use of styling products designed specifically for damaged and dry hair, therefore free of alcohol;
— Protect your hair with a protective treatment and a hat at the beach or simply when sun exposure is particularly high. To have beautiful hair during the summer , it is advisable to use nourishing and moisturizing products.

To say goodbye to dry, damaged, and brittle hair, be sure to trim your ends every 3 months or so. When it comes to coloring, choose ammonia-free formulas. Let your hair breathe by spacing out your coloring sessions as much as possible.

Additionally, diet plays a vital role in hair health and beauty. On a daily basis, include more foods rich in B vitamins, iron, silicon, and magnesium, such as grains and lentils. Also, eat more foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids, such as hazelnuts and salmon. For seasonings and fried foods, opt for olive oil. To protect your hair, limit foods that are too fatty, salty, or sugary, such as cold cuts, pastries, and processed sweets. Choose still water over sparkling water.
