What is healthy hair?
Healthy hair is not defined solely by its texture or appearance, but rather by its environment. Hair is part of a complete ecosystem comprising the scalp, the roots and the hair itself. For hair to be healthy, the scalp must be well hydrated, nourished and balanced. The scalp behaves like the skin on your face: it needs regular, suitable care to ensure strong, shiny, soft hair from root to tip. Healthy hair is therefore strong, firm and shiny, and reflects light well.
A lack of body and shine is often due to a loss of the hair's natural protection, provided by sebum. When this barrier is damaged, the keratin scales open up, making the hair more fragile, brittle and dull. Conversely, healthy hair has closed scales and a thin layer of sebum that protects it, gives it body and helps it reflect light better, bringing shine and vitality.
How can you get back thick, healthy hair?
To keep or regain thick, healthy hair, several actions can be taken:
- Daily brushing: a simple but effective habit that stimulates blood circulation and promotes the supply of essential nutrients to the roots.
- Regular care: use gentle, nourishing products that respect the sensitivity of your hair and scalp.
- Regular trims: even cutting off very little removes damaged ends that weaken the hair fibre.
- Specific treatments: in cases of loss of density, medical treatments such as hair mesotherapy can be considered to strengthen the hair.
What are hair's enemies?
As an extension of the skin, the scalp is sensitive to the same aggressors. The main enemies of hair include:
- Dryness: caused by changes in climate, indoor heating or the use of harsh products.
- Free radicals: they attack the scalp and the hair fibre, causing visible damage such as dull or brittle hair.
- Harsh chemical treatments: bleaching, straightening and overly frequent blow-drying damage the hair's natural structure.
Caring for your scalp as you would your skin: the Innerskin philosophy
Just like the skin on your face, the scalp needs regular care to ensure healthy, beautiful hair. Innerskin's philosophy is based on this holistic vision of hair care. Hydrating, nourishing, protecting and detoxifying are all essential steps to ensure a healthy scalp. It is in this area that the hair follicles draw the elements they need for hair growth. Suitable care not only helps prevent hair problems but also optimises the quality and density of the hair.
The aesthetic medicine treatments offered by Innerskin's hair department
Innerskin offers innovative treatments to treat and revitalise the scalp and the hair. Here are two flagship treatments from the hair department:
