Dry Hair Needs Nourishment!


Kerastase’s egerie – New Nutritive Range

Avocado toast is a start, but what about the nutrients your hair is getting from the outside? Or in the case of dry hair – not getting at all. Nutrient-deficient hair means the external and internal structures of the hair break down, and the cuticles lift, causing the surface of the hair to feel rough.

And when hair is malnourished, the negative impact doesn’t stop there. On the scalp, a lack of proteins, fatty acids and vitamins leaves the scalp dry, itchy and tight. Along the lengths of your hair, a low level of nutrients leads to a weak protective barrier and chapped cuticles, making your hair feel like straw – rough, dull and thoroughly lifeless. And at the ends, your hair suffers the most; very low levels of nutrients leave the hair ends feeling crunchy and splitting or breaking.

Plant-based Proteins and More: The Ingredients That Help Restore Thirsty Hair


Infused with Plant-Based Proteins to nourish hair with essential nutriments to help retain moisture. Formulas are also infused with niacinamide, a derivative of vitamin B to help strengthen hair fibers and lock in hydration.

Intense hydration is only one of the benefits – once it gets its nourishment, your hair will be supple, silky, soft to the touch and much easier to style. From rich creams to oils and protective sprays, read on to learn about the best shampoo, conditioners and treatments for your type of dry hair.
