Preserving color
To preserve your color and keep your hair in good health, it's essential to use a mask at least once a week. We explain why. It prevents color from fading. Color often loses its intensity over weeks and shampoos. On the one hand, it loses its radiance as it oxidizes due to exposure to UV rays; on the other, it escapes through the hair scales, which open on contact with water that's too hot. To prevent this, the mask can contain natural or synthetic antioxidants (tocopherol, vitamin E, fruit extracts, etc.). It also prevents color fading by sealing the scales with a slightly acidic pH (citric acid, vinegar, lemon extract, etc.).
It makes hair shine. Color-treated hair is beautiful if the light reflects well off it. To achieve this, many hair products use silicones that smooth hair and leave a shiny film. The natural way is to neutralize the limescale in the water, which deposits on the hair, leaving it dull, dry and damaged. To achieve this, the mask must contain acid extracts, such as citric acid or lemon extract.
It repairs the fiber. Sensitized by coloring, but also by the environment (pollution, UV rays...), hair can become damaged. If the hair fiber is damaged, not only does the hair become brittle, but it also allows more color to escape. To restore the fiber's integrity, masks incorporate active ingredients such as keratin and ceramides, or fortifying ingredients like panthenol (provitamin B5), rice or silk proteins.
Nourishes lengths. Colored hair is often dry. Even more so if the hair is long and/or curly or frizzy. A hair mask is the essential product for nourishing and revitalizing colored hair, using mainly vegetable oils: macadamia, coconut, olive, argan and shea butter, rich in essential fatty acids.
Apply once a week to dry hair, less often to normal or oily hair. Before shampooing on damp hair when hair is fine, to avoid weighing it down.
After pigmentation or bleaching, our hair is sensitized. Color often loses its intensity over weeks and shampoos. But with the right care routine, there's no need to worry! Color and shine are prolonged, and hair is protected.
How to care for dull hair
Pollution, sun, stress, hard water, blow-drying, rough brushing, unbalanced diet, chemicals... Lack of light and falling temperatures also have an impact on our hair! Less shiny and drier, it's also more vulnerable... In fact, lack of shine is mainly due to alteration of the hair cuticle.
Your scalp and hair see a lot every day. Would you like to restore shine, vitality and lustre to your dull, rough and flat hair? Follow our advice and adopt the right daily care routine.
In addition to delicate, everyday gestures such as gentle brushing and blow-drying, there are beauty products specially designed for dull hair. For example, chitin masks are highly recommended. They promote cell reconstitution and help the cuticle to re-establish its cohesion. Thanks to this element, hair becomes brighter and silkier.
However, the best solution for dull hair is to use natural hair care products. There's nothing better than a good grandmother's recipe: lemon juice, vinegar and lukewarm water as a conditioner. Simply leave on for a few minutes, and your hair will be shiny again in no time!
