The science behind amino acids
Ensuring good results in hair care goes beyond strictly following a good hair schedule that involves cleaning, hydration, moisturizing and reconstruction (nutrient replacement). It is necessary to choose products that have raw materials aimed at promoting hair health. Washing is the first step of care and, for this process, it is important to choose shampoos that contain mild cleansing agents, especially amino acid-based surfactants, which do not contain sulfates and are effective in cleaning hair without causing damage.
“Ingredients derived from amino acids, such as Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate, clean without compromising the formation of foam and also contribute to hydration, as they do not damage the protective lipid barrier of the hair”, highlights Tatiana Gargalaka.
Vivid color and long-lasting effect
Hydration and reconstruction are recommended processes to maintain color and leave hair strong and silky. The cuticle plays a fundamental role, protecting the amino acids inside the hair. However, the outer layers suffer constant wear and tear due to daily practices, such as washing and brushing, and harmful processes, such as the use of heat to dry and style the hair, as well as the use of chemical products.
“The tip to avoid dry and brittle hair is to use moisturizing creams and toning masks with Sodium PCA. Products with this substance act deeply and, in cases of platinum and dyed hair, provide a longer lasting effect”, recommends the specialist.
