ON THE USE OF A HYALURONIC ACID MASK SHAMPOO FOR THE TREATMENT OF BRITTLE, UNSTRUCTURED AND DAMAGED HAIR

One of the main causes of hair deconstruction and damage is definitely the topical use of aqueous solutions with high alcohol content. Finding out how to curb the negative effect of these substances on one’s hair is a key node in keeping scalp health intact.

But how come these solutions damage the hair structure?

The most serious problem is their being hygroscopic, that is, having a tendency to absorb water from their surroundings, including biological tissues. This, of course, contributes to dry and weakened skin and hair, and prolonged use can promote irritation as well as damage the structure of the follicle itself.

The problem is particularly important when, for solubility reasons, it is impossible to add a moisturizer to the solution to counteract the effects of alcohol.

The consequences of these applications are most pronounced in patients subjected to frequent application of lotions with 80% vv alcohol in water, usually used to apply active ingredients such as Finasteride or Minoxidil that are poorly soluble in an aqueous environment, but in which the addition of a moisturizing agent can greatly complicate the preparation of the solution often leading the active ingredients to precipitate.

Hyaluronic Acid: Useful for skin and hair hydration, as it is capable of binding water molecules within its polymeric structure. Present in both low and high molecular weight polymer chains, it performs functions in the care of dry and weakened hair. High-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid polymers go on to form an impermeable protective film over the hair, while low-molecular-weight polymers are able to penetrate the hair cuticle, thanks to the particular gel in which they are contained, and once this barrier has been overcome, they perform the function of moisturizing the hair from the inside by taking advantage of the large amount of water with which they are bound.

Shea butter: Produced from the plant of the same name, this is a cream containing fatty acids, phytosterols and vitamins A,E and F, which help limit hair desquamation, repair brittle hair and eliminate the problem of split ends. It also has soothing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and emollient action for hair.

Castor Oil: Relieves dryness of the scalp and exerts an anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antifungal action, helping to alleviate any irritation created by repeated applications of dehydrating alcoholic lotions and to limit the onset of the problem of split ends.
