The health of our hair is a window into our internal well-being and the effectiveness of our hair care routines.
But have you ever wondered what science says about truly healthy hair?
At Luxeny, we go under the microscope to bring you a scientific perspective on hair care.
Get ready to bust myths and redefine what it means to nourish your hair from root to tip. 🌟
The Structure of Hair: A Look Inside
To understand how to care for our hair, we first need to understand its structure. Each hair is made up of three layers:
- Cuticle: The outer protective layer, made up of overlapping cells like roof shingles, that shields the inside of the hair from external damage.
- Cortex: Where your hair’s strength, color, and texture are found. It’s the thickest part and contains protein fibers and pigments.
- Medulla: The central core, present in some hair types, which doesn't significantly affect the health or appearance of the hair.
How Products Work at the Cellular Level
Hair care products mainly interact with the hair cuticle.
A moisturizing product, like our Luxeny Biphasic Spray, works by sealing the cuticle to lock in moisture, resulting in softer, less frizzy hair.
On the other hand, protein treatments like Hair Power reinforce the cortex structure, helping to repair and strengthen hair from within.
Demystifying Hair Ingredients and Routines
In the world of hair care, some ingredients have been unfairly demonized, while certain practices are promoted without solid scientific evidence. Here are some myths and facts:
- Sulfates and Parabens: While they’ve faced criticism, not all sulfates and parabens are harmful. Their roles are to cleanse your hair and preserve products, respectively. The key is to use balanced formulas suited to your hair type. At Luxeny, regardless, we work sulfate- and paraben-free, so you can try our products with complete peace of mind.
- Daily Washing: Contrary to popular belief, washing your hair every day isn’t necessarily bad. It depends on your hair and scalp type. The important thing is to use a gentle, nourishing shampoo. The key is to figure out what works for your hair—every hair type is different, so find your balance.
- Natural Oils: While they’re wonderful for hydrating and nourishing, not all oils work the same for every hair type. It’s crucial to find the oil that best suits your specific needs.
