What are regenerating hair treatments for?
They are among the best remedies for damaged hair because they provide nourishment and hydration from within the hair fiber. We are talking about real shock treatments for brittle and damaged hair from exposure to sun rays, salt, wind and stressed by heat sources such as straighteners and hairdryers, dyes and bleaches.
The restructuring treatments act from the inside and reconstitute the fibers of the scalp, bringing strength and brightness. They are an ideal solution to be used especially during seasonal changes or after a particularly aggressive treatment (see discoloration).
When should they be used
When the hair is damaged, that is:
- It is worn out, therefore it has the appearance of straw;
- You often use a hairdryer and a straightener;
- It breaks;
- It is rough, porous and stressed, difficult to comb.
This happens because there is less keratin in the circulation, so the hair tends to lose its shine and softness, resulting in thinner and more fragile.
What do they contain?
Generally they are real cocktails of specific active ingredients, such as keratin and hyaluronic acid, an excellent tonic and elasticizer. But they can also contain vitamins, oils and plant extracts with a fortifying and energizing action.
How regenerating hair treatments are used
According to the instructions on the packaging that must necessarily be followed carefully. Broadly speaking, however, there are two uses:
- Daily, with sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners suitable for frequent use and with milder action
- Weekly or monthly, with shampoos, conditioners, serums, masks and leave-in creams to be used on a weekly or monthly basis and as a shock treatment.
The effects are immediate and last for months if used consistently.
How to choose the regenerating hair treatment

- Features: what needs will the regenerating products you are looking for meet?
