Hyaluronic acid for hair: properties and application features

Hyaluronic acid is widely recognized in the beauty industry. It is equally useful for both skin and hair, although it has a small number of contraindications. From the point of view of cosmetology, it perfectly moisturizes and nourishes the curls, makes them shiny, soft, but to obtain the desired result, you will need to strictly observe the dosage.

Of the many positives I especially want to highlight a few basic ones.

• Intensive moisturizing of curls, which is difficult to achieve with other methods. Water molecules are properly distributed throughout the hair, making it look well-groomed and healthy.
• The acid also nourishes the follicles, improves circulation and metabolism in the skin, which has a positive effect on hair development. It is a very powerful growth promoter.
• Many experts agree that hyaluronic acid is the best restorative after intense coloring or curling.
• The element helps to stimulate the process of protein synthesis, as a result, the production of components such as elastin and collagen increases.
• Improves the process of production of keratin by the body, hair acquires a natural shine.
• Hyaluronic acid often helps to solve the problem of hair loss.

There are also some disadvantages. The negative effect can be caused by individual intolerance or exceeding the dose. Sometimes a person uses an uncertified and, accordingly, low-quality product.

Hyaluronic acid is sold in several forms, available to the consumer:

• gel;
• powder;
• liquid.

When choosing any of these funds, it is necessary to take into account the condition of the hair and scalp, as well as consumer reviews.

You don't have to buy a finished product, but increase the use of this element, which is found in large quantities in tendons, chicken skin and scallops, and offal.

Special masks have a good effect. They are applied to the hair for 5 minutes, then washed off with warm water. Make sure your hair is clean and damp.

Modern spray conditioners are no less effective. This is a great solution for hair that is periodically dyed and therefore requires restoration. With regular use of such a cosmetic product, the condition of the hair is significantly improved, the volume increases, and the previous shine is restored. Such products do not weigh hair down, do not create a feeling of oily at the roots. But it is worth applying them in small quantities before combing the curls. They are not washed off.

The sprays have a lot of positive reviews, but the composition can be used only in the absence of an allergic reaction.

Hyaluronic acid has a regenerating, antioxidant, moisturizing and protective effect on the hair. It is a natural component that is present in the human body. In the form of a liquid, it is part of the tissues of the joints and eyes. Scientists have long proven that hyaluronic acid is not only beneficial in anti-aging products, but it also helps prevent hair loss.

The scalp has two main layers - the epidermis, which is external, and the dermal, deeper. The place where the hair follicle is located and the surrounding tissue contain a liquid, which is partly composed of hyaluronic acid. It moisturizes the scalp from the inside out and prevents premature hair loss from hair follicles.

If a person has dry skin, using a shampoo and conditioner containing this ingredient is a good option in order to cope with the problem. According to dermatologists, using professional cosmetics based on hyaluronic acid definitely benefits hair as it works as a complementary food. This substance can not only increase the growth, but also the diameter of each hair, therefore the volume becomes larger.

There are people who should not use procedures to restore the condition of curls using the described substance. These include:

• girls in position;
• those who are allergic to hyaluronic acid;
• nursing mothers;
• if there are injuries on the head;
• people with exacerbation of dermatological diseases on the scalp.

More and more hair cosmetics appear on the market, which contain this component. The consumer should pay attention to the concentration of acid in the composition of the product. The higher it is, the better. In some cases, there are additional ingredients that make the cosmetics more effective.

Verified brands are the most reliable, since these companies do not want to lose their own name and only use a quality product. Price is often an indicator of quality; cheap products are ineffective.

Hydroxypropyltrimonium hyaluronate is a special charged particle of hyaluron. Hair is negatively charged and acid is positive, so it attaches to the hair and scalp.

The composition should be free of alcohol, synthetic fragrances, they are not useful, but often harm the curls. The chemicals only irritate the scalp and can disrupt hair growth.

It is worth remembering that gel and aqueous solutions are more effective than dry powder, so they should be preferred. Differs in high efficiency and mask, which is sold ready-made in the pharmacy. After application, you can feel a slight tingling sensation or even a burning sensation, the manufacturer claims that this is how you can determine whether a cosmetic is working or not.

Among all the brands on the market, it is worth highlighting a few, which have already proven themselves from the best side.

• Kapous. In this product, hyaluronic acid is part of the shampoo. Such professional cosmetics helps not only to clean the curls with high quality, but also to restore them.
• "Medikomed". One of the demanded budget funds, presented in the form of drops. Supplied in a convenient container and used as an additive to other cosmetics.
• LibreDerm. Quite an expensive series that can be easily found at the pharmacy. There are many products for hair and scalp in the assortment.

If you do not want to purchase a finished product, you can always prepare the mask yourself. For this, kefir or plain yogurt is suitable, to which 0.5% hyaluronic acid is added. Three drops for half a glass is enough.

The product is applied to slightly damp hair and, gently massaging the scalp, rub in the mask.

There is another method of using acid at home - using burdock oil, which already contains a lot of the described substance. Its benefits for hair have been proven for centuries. It is recommended to warm it slightly before use. After you can see how the plasticity of the curls has changed, this tool always has a positive effect on the structure.
