Let’s imagine our hair strands as a plant: the follicles acts as the roots, fostering growth, while the strands itself resemble the leaves, exposed to environmental and external factors. Much like a plant’s roots draw nutrients from the soil to support the growth of healthy leaves, our hair follicles do the same. However, once the hair emerges from our skin’s surface, it no longer has the ability to replenish itself with such nutrients. Our hair strands primarily consists of its own proteins, with keratin comprising approximately 95% of its composition.

Given that our hair is essentially lifeless, it becomes susceptible to further damage from both the products we use and our surrounding environment. Whether it’s the chemicals found in hair products, dyes, the relentless heat from styling tools, or the harsh rays of sun, these factors can all contribute to worsening the health of our hair. Despite your attempts to maintain beautiful-looking hair, it’s crucial to recognise that some product may be doing the opposite than reviving your hair. These products have the potential to weaken our strands, making them susceptible to breakage and split ends. 

Even with all the right hair products, achieving optimal results isn’t as simple as slathering them on and rinsing them off. Given that our hair is essentially dead, proper product application is key to maximising their effectiveness. Take the time to massage your hair your hair products deeply into your strands, ensuring that every part is coated and nourished. Additionally, you can choose to complement your routine by incorporating hair tools to further enhance absorption and nourishment.
