Customers who frequently perm and dye their hair often have a rough and split “withered grass-like” appearance. This is because chemical agents and high temperatures damage the outermost cutile structure of the hair, preventing it from adhering closely and leading to the loss of keratin inside. And conditioner is just like a gentle “restorer”, providing all-round nourishment for damaged hair through exquisite ingredient combinations.
The vitamin B5 (panthenol), hydrolyzed keratin and other components rich in hair conditioner are highly similar to the structure of hair itself and can easily penetrate into the interior of the hair strands. Take hydrolyzed keratin as an example. It is like a handful of tiny “building materials”, precisely filling the cavities caused by hair damage and reshaping the internal support structure. Under the laboratory microscope, it can be observed that the internal fiber arrangement of the hair samples containing hydrolyzed keratin conditioner is more compact and orderly compared with that of the untreated samples. Natural plant oil components, such as argan oil from Morocco and jojoba oil, are like a flexible “protective coat” for the hair. These oil molecules can penetrate the gaps between the cutiles, enhancing the elasticity of the hair and making it less likely to break during daily combing or exposure to wind and sun.
During the shampooing process, the alkaline components of the shampoo force the cuticles to open, just like opening small Windows. Although it is convenient for cleaning, it also makes the hair strands fragile. At this point, the weakly acidic pH value of the conditioner plays a crucial role. It can neutralize the remaining alkaline substances and promote the reclosure of the cuticles. This process is similar to putting on “armor” for hair, effectively resisting external damages such as ultraviolet rays and environmental pollution. Research data shows that people who consistently use hair conditioner can reduce the degree of hair damage caused by ultraviolet rays by approximately 30%, and the frequency of split ends also significantly decreases.
It is not difficult to notice in life that people who use hair conditioner for a long time can still keep their hair in a relatively healthy state even after multiple perming and dyeing sessions. A friend who often bleaches and dyes her hair shared that she chose a conditioner containing amino acids and plant essential oils. After using it three times a week, the ends of her hair, which used to break easily upon touch, gradually became tough and could even withstand a certain degree of pulling. This inside-out repair process not only improves the appearance of the hair but also fundamentally enhances the health of the hair quality, restoring vitality to damaged hair.
