Why does my hair become dry and brittle?
Let’s treat the issue from its core. Just as with the skin, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to misbehaving hair. However, hair generally becomes dry and damaged due to a combination of environmental factors and inadequate care. Exposure to harsh weather conditions, such as extreme heat or cold, can strip the hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness.
Certain ingredients in hair care products, such as sulfates, silicones, and microplastics, can negatively impact your hair. Sulfates, commonly found in shampoos, are harsh detergents that can strip the hair of its natural oils, possibly leading to dryness and scalp irritation. Silicones, used in many products ti add shine and smoothness, can build up on the hair and scalp, blocking moisture and making the hair feel heavy and lifeless.
Microplastics, present in a variety of products, can clog the pores of the scalp and disrupt its natural balance, potentially causing irritation and hair loss. These ingredients can exacerbate existing hair issues or create new problems, highlighting the importance of choosing gentle hair care products free from harmful substances.
Frequent use of heat styling tools and chemical treatments, like dyes and relaxers, can further exacerbate the problem by weakening the hair’s structure, leaving it more frizzy and unruly. This can also lead to breakage and, therefore, disrupt dreams of healthy lengths.
Additionally, while surprising to some; hormonal changes can also play a significant role in your hair’s condition. Hormonal fluctuations, such as those experienced during pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid imbalances, can also impact hair health, growth, and loss. Some may even experience that their hair serves as an indicator of their mental health, with hair loss reflecting issues such as stress.
In other words: your hair and scalp are just as complex as the rest of your systems. Luckily, your routines don’t have to be.
How our hair care collection can transform your hair
Our hair care collection is developed in close cooperation with leading Scandinavian hair experts to curate effective ingredient compounds that will leave your hair visibly changed. All formulas are vegan, with organic and natural ingredients, and free from harsh sulfates (SLS/SLES), silicone, and microplastics. Additionally, our shampoos are enriched with 100% natural washing actives that cleanse hair and scalp without stripping it of its natural oils, while nutrient-rich ingredients work within the complex to keep sensitive scalps soothed.
Our collection consists of two sets: Our Nourishing Hair Care Kit and Volumizing Hair Care Kit, which target different hair types and concerns. Here’s how to choose yours and what to expect from each product.
