SKINIFICATION OF HAIR 101: WHAT IS IT AND WHAT CAN HSA DO FOR YOU DREAMS
What if a skincare routine becomes the best ally of hair too? Let’s discover in this article the magical world of skinification, the new trend that is taking us to a higher level of self-care.
What is the skinification of hair?
Today, general knowledge about skincare and ingredients has improved significantly, also thanks to influencers who every day share their experience with new products and their benefits.
Their advice and reviews led us to get closer to the effects that a particular product or substance causes on our skin, thus prompting us to pay much more attention to how we treat our bodies.
Now that we have achieved super results in skincare, more and more people are starting to think about the next level.
So, what about hair?
Skinification of hair means treating the hair with a specific routine, to nourish and treat scalp and hair with ingredients and products specifically made for them.
The skinification of hair is about getting healthy hair using hero skincare ingredients in your shampoos, conditioners, treatments, and styling products. Shampoos, conditioners, oils, treatments… The universe of haircare has no limits, but the great mission is always the same: extremely strong and healthy hair.
Is it safe to use skincare products on hair?
Let’s go straight to the point: YES, skincare products are good also for hair, but we need to clarify some points. Hair and scalp needs are not the same.
We are used to relying on hair care products, often forgetting that the scalp has nothing to do with them!
The scalp is the skin that covers our head and is where the hair is born. Keeping it healthy means promoting healthy hair growth from the start.
For this reason, it is essential to consider the scalp not as part of the hair, but as part of our skin!
The result? Scalp care is skincare and it needs to be treated with the right products, which are really not hard to find, in fact relying on many products designed for skincare is a very good move, as they are perfectly safe also for the scalp.
Ingredients to “skinify” the hair
Among the most effective ingredients for skinification undoubtedly include:
- Glycerin
- Squalane
- Niacinamide
- Hyaluronic acid
What are they effective for?
Glycerin is a hydrator and antimicrobialis. It is mostly present in several hydrating skincare serums and creams and has amazing benefits for hair too.
The main advantage of glycerin is its ability to attract and retain water, which makes it an excellent moisturizing component. In fact, it is great for dry hair.
Who should use it? People with frizzy or afro hair need moisture.
Squalane is a hydrator and emollient that helps retain moisture and boost shine. It also prevents hair from breaking, a very common problem for people with dry or fine hair.
A great feature of squalane is that it is non-comedogenic, which means it doesn’t clog pores and is very scalp friendly.
Who should use it? It is great for all hair types but is particularly indicated for people with dry and damaged hair.
Niacinamide is a water-soluble nutrient famous for its calming properties, in fact, it’s perfect in cases of skin inflammation and redness.
In hair care, it boosts the production of keratin which fortifies hair and makes them grow faster than it naturally would.
Who should use it? It is amazing for people who suffer from hair shedding.
Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that keeps hair and scalp hydrated and reduces frizziness.
As opposed to moisturizers, hyaluronic acid works by retaining water and drawing moisture to the skin’s surface.
Who should use it? It is great for all hair types and textures as it helps retain the proper balance of lipids, humectants, and proteins for the healthiest hair ever.
