Elasticity of the hair: what it is and how to achieve it
The elasticity shows us what our cortex is like. The cortex is the inner layer of our hair, just after the cuticle. Inside is the hair marrow. But what is elasticity? Elasticity is the property that allows a body to deform under the action of an external force and - if the deformations are not too great - to return to its original shape when the cause of the deformation disappears. If the body resumes exactly the original shape, it is flexible/elastic; if not, it is not flexible/elastic. An elastic body is more resistant to the forces acting on it....

Balancing the concentration of proteins, moisturising and nourishing are undoubtedly the prerequisites for taking good care of curly hair. Let's talk today about how to use proteins and find out together when they are really good for our hair. Pros of proteins: Strengthen the hair shaft Increase elasticity and “bounce” Reduce hair breakage Smoothing the cuticle, increasing shine Proteins are essential for maintaining healthy hair: they make up at least 90% of hair and their surface absorbs them. All stressful agents, both internal and external, contribute to deteriorating the appearance and therefore the performance of hair proteins, making them brittle,...
