Do you know the difference between hair hydration and nutrition?
If you still don't know if your hair needs hydration or nutrition don't despair! We explain everything you need to know to take care of your hair correctly.
Does my hair need nutrition or hydration?
When it comes to taking care of our hair, it is important to understand the difference between nutrition and hydration. Although these terms are often used interchangeably, they are two different hair needs. To maintain the health of our hair and treat it with the right products, it is essential to know how to differentiate between them.
Definition of nutrition and hydration
Nutrition refers to the intake of essential nutrients for hair, such as protein, vitamins, and minerals. These nutrients help strengthen hair and prevent hair loss processes.
On the other hand, hydration refers to the amount of water in the hair. Water helps keep hair soft, silky, and manageable. A lack of hydration causes hair to become dry and rough. To hydrate the hair, the use of moisturizing shampoos and conditioners is recommended, as well as the weekly application of a moisturizing mask.
How to know if my hair needs hydration or nutrition
Knowing if our hair needs hydration or nutrition can be a complex task. However, there are some indicators that let us know exactly what our hair needs.
Hair is hungry
If your hair looks weak, lifeless and you are suffering from excessive hair loss, it is likely in need of nourishment. The lack of essential nutrients, such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals, can upset the balance and affect the health of our hair.
Hair is thirsty
If what you’re seeing is rough, dry, and brittle hair, the most likely cause is a lack of hydration. An alteration in the moisture balance of our hair will make it look dull and dull.
Malnourished hair care
The best way to recover hair nutrition is by applying a treatment that nourishes and repairs the hair in depth, providing the proteins and vitamins that the hair needs. The Yellow Shot treatment from the Biokera Fresh line or the Hi Repair shampoo are two perfect options for recovering malnourished hair. These treatments can be complemented with a diet rich in proteins and vitamins from group B and Zinc to enhance the results.
Dehydrated hair care
In the event that hair needs hydrating, we recommend the use of highly moisturizing shampoos and conditioners, such as the products from the Salerm 21 line. In addition, for an intensive effect, we recommend applying an intensive moisturizing mask weekly. Salerm 21 Boost is the perfect option to complement a complete Salerm 21 care routine.
And finally... is it better to use a mask or conditioner?
Masks and conditioners are two distinct hair care products. Both products are important to maintain the health of our hair and must be present in the care routine. The main action of a mask is to nourish and repair, while a conditioner provides softness, hydration, and manageability. These two products are complementary, we can use a conditioner every time we shampoo and a mask once a week.
