Ceramides

What are Ceramides?   

Ceramides are lipid molecules naturally present in our hair fiber, but also in our skin. They play an essential role in maintaining cell hydration and creating a protective barrier against external aggressions such as pollution, dust, make-up and styling products. They are therefore very important molecules for the health and beauty of our skin and hair.

The Ceramides we use at René Furterer

For maximum effectiveness from the very first shampoo, we've chosen Ceramides derived from biotechnology, and extracted from Ricin Oil and Olive Oil. These natural lipids, which make up the hair's cell membrane, will boost your hair's moisture levels, while also having an anti-porosity action. The result: your hair is deeply nourished for the long term.

What are its benefits?

If we've chosen to include Ceramides in our hair care products, it's because they have so many benefits for hair, and particularly for dry to very dry hair. Here are just a few of them:

•  Hydration: Ceramides repair the hair fiber and strengthen its structure for better natural hydration.
• Protection: Ceramides also help protect hair from external aggressions that could further dry it out.
• Frizz reduction: By nourishing the hair fiber, Ceramides help limit the appearance of frizz and make hair silkier.

Ceramides for silkier hair

Choosing hair care products containing Ceramides, like those in the Sublime Karité range, is particularly beneficial for dry, very dry or porous hair. Ceramides work quickly, right from the first shampoo, filling in the gaps between your hair's scales to make the surface smoother and more uniform. After just one wash, you'll notice that your hair is softer, shinier, better moisturized and with less frizz.

Good to know: Ceramides also help strengthen the hair fiber, making it more resistant. This is particularly important for those who regularly use heated styling appliances.

Advice for less porous hair

Having porous hair is never very pleasant: it retains humidity, swells, frizzes and becomes untamable. Rest assured, it's possible to limit this effect and improve your hair's overall health. Let us give you a few tips:

• Use products rich in Ceramides: Ceramides present in certain hair products, such as those in our Sublime Karité range, help strengthen your hair and reactivate its natural moisture.
• Avoid aggressive treatments: Bleaching, perming and other fairly aggressive hair treatments can damage the hair fiber and leave your hair dehydrated and porous.
• Moisturize your hair regularly: Applying a moisturizing hair mask once a week, and leaving it on for a few hours, will help you maintain a good level of hydration.
• Protect your hair from heat: If you use a hairdryer every time you wash your hair, or a straightener or curler, it's essential to protect your hair beforehand with a heat protector.
• Adopt a better diet: Drinking plenty of water and eating more foods rich in essential vitamins and minerals is also a great way to keep your hair hydrated and healthy.
