To provide the right care for your hair, you must take your hair type into account, because everyone has specific needs. Whether it is choosing the ideal brush, the frequency of washing or the hair products to adopt, you must always take this into account. If you have dry hair, especially in winter, you can boost its hydration by adding a little coconut oil to your hair mask but also braid your hair to protect it from external aggressions.

But lately, a new ingredient is making waves to repair dry and damaged ends. A star ingredient in the skincare universe to keep skin young (notably used by Eva Longoria), it is hyaluronic acid. On TikTok, dermatologist Dr Shah, known as @dermdoctorcommented on the user’s publication @katilynroundtreewho used this ingredient to repair her hair for two weeks.

Dry hair: hyaluronic acid, an ingredient with strong moisturizing power to repair it

“Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, it can hold up to a thousand times its weight in water“, begins the doctor. The TikTok user explains that every evening she moistened her lengths before applying a little of this miracle ingredient. “As it retains water, this makes it a very good treatment for the skin but also the hair“, continues Dr. Shah.

The doctor specifies that hyaluronic acid is particularly interesting for people who have dry and damaged hair but also for swimmers, whose hair is often damaged by chlorine in swimming pools. But it can also repair the hair after using a shampoo that is too harsh and is also suitable for colored hair. “As we can see in the images, this treatment revived her hair“, continues the specialist.

After two weeks of use,@katilynroundtree once again shows her hair which is in better condition, “they are very soft and much easier to style“, she adds. “A great tip that doesn’t cost much“, concludes Dr. Shah.

If you don’t have hyaluronic acid on hand, you can start by following the advice of dermatologist @dermguru on TikTok. This involves putting a little coconut oil on your ends before washing your hair, which will protect your hair fiber so that it does not absorb too much water in the shower. For drying, use the cold air mode of your hair dryer and absolutely limit the use of heating appliances.
