Is drinking lots of water good for your hair?

Water, besides being an essential element for life, is also crucial in the care of our hair: drinking lots of water is good for your hair! It is necessary, in times like these, not only to have healthy and strong hair but also to feel good, to drink at least 8 🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛 glasses of water a day - easy, isn't it!?

Hair and water are an essential pair

Hair is mainly made up of keratin, a protein composed of chains of amino acids. To keep it healthy, it is essential to provide it with the right amount of moisture. Just like the skin, hair can become dehydrated and brittle if it does not receive enough water. Moisturising the hair starts from the inside: drinking plenty of water is the first step to healthy, strong hair; dehydration reduces blood flow to the scalp, decreasing the ability of the hair follicles to assimilate important nutrients. What does this entail? Increased brittleness and dryness of the hair, exposing it to a greater risk of fraying or even worse, falling out... and who would ever want that!? 🥶

What are the benefits of water on our hair? 💦

💧 Improves elasticity: water maintains the elasticity of hair, preventing breakage and split ends. Elastic hair is less prone to damage caused by styling and exposure to harmful environmental factors.

💧 Promotes growth: a moisturised scalp creates a favourable environment for hair growth. Hair follicles need a hydrated environment to produce strong, healthy hair.

💧 Prevents dry scalp: a well-hydrated scalp prevents dryness, flaking and itching, creating a solid base for healthy hair.

💧 Increases shine: well-hydrated hair reflects light better, giving it a bright, shiny appearance.
