Nutrition is one of the most important stages of the hair schedule, responsible for replacing the lipids and proteins that the hair loses naturally or due to chemistry and the use of heat tools, such as a dryer and straightener.



What is Hair Nutrition?

Hair Nutrition, as the name suggests, represents the treatment of the hair schedule responsible for recovering the nutrients lost by the hair due to chemicals or external factors.

All hair strands carry an essential protective layer to retain hydration within their structure and protect keratin – a protein that gives strength, shine and elasticity to hair. Nutrition will act exactly at this point, it returns the necessary oils to the hair, restoring this barrier and enabling other stages of the hair schedule, such as hydration and reconstruction, to work correctly.


What is the difference between Nutrition, Reconstruction and Hydration?

The terms seem synonymous, but in practice they are complementary. The focus of Hydration is to return water to the hair. If your hair looks rough, dry and lackluster, it needs to be hydrated.

Nutrition is responsible for replenishing the hair’s natural oils, a step also known as moisturizing. Among its benefits are facilitating detangling, enhancing luminosity, reducing frizz, promoting softness and even leaving curls more defined.

Reconstruction, in turn, aims to restore mass lost by thin, fragile and/or elastic hairs.

Does my hair need Nutrition?

This step is not just for those with dry hair! Whenever you feel like your hair is dull, rough and frizzy, it’s time to invest in a nourishing, oil-rich hair mask. The main objective of the Nutrition treatment is to recover the nutrients lost by the hair and, through this lipid replacement, preserve hydration within the hair fiber.

Nutrition leaves the hair cuticles aligned and sealed, which results in hair with less frizz and more control. Furthermore, it is responsible for combating split ends, as the antioxidants present at this stage protect the strands from aggressions that cause the fiber to weaken, preventing split ends.

Another sign that Nutrition is necessary is when the hair appears to be stiff and shapeless. Those who use heat tools or use chemicals frequently need to do more Nutrition steps throughout the week. If your hair is fine, be careful: the formula needs to be very light so as not to weigh down your strands.
