use

Hair treatments are used differently depending on the hair type. If you have healthy hair, it is recommended to use it regularly once a week, with damaged hair using a hair treatment after every second hair wash. The hair treatment is applied to washed, towel-dried hair and, depending on the manufacturer's instructions, remains in the hair. There are two types of hair treatment:

  • Rinse-off hair treatments are washed out thoroughly after 2–10 minutes
  • Leave-in hair treatments remain in the hair and are not rinsed out

Hair treatments with protein hydrolysates, lipids , panthenol and conditioning agents should be used for hair that is additionally stressed by dyeing .

INCI -compliant specification of the ingredients of a hair treatment.

ingredients

Hair treatments are semi-solid emulsions made from emulsifiers , liquid to solid lipids, consistency enhancers, humectants , essential oils , plant extracts, conditioning agents, preservatives , fragrances , buffers , water, alcohols and additional active ingredients (depending on the hair type). However, the main ingredient of most hair treatments are moisturizing agent such as fatty alcohols , fatty oils , silicones and paraffins .

effect

The result after using hair treatments is improved wet combability, additional shine and smoothness of the hair. Dry hair becomes lightly oiled and retains its moisture. In the case of oily hair, an insulating layer is deposited on the hair, which delays the re-oiling. Cures that are specific to the ends of the hair are designed to delay split ends and can be used equally on all hair types. For fine, thin hair, only treatments for this hair type should be used, otherwise the hair will become too heavy and stringy.
