Dry hair: the #1 concern for women in salons¹
Dehydrated hair can lead to disorderly frizz, leaving the hair disheveled and difficult to tame. As a result, hair becomes more susceptible to breakage, making it harder to shape and style on a daily basis.
Characteristics of dry hair:
Characteristics of very dry hair :
There are many causes of dry hair. Hair is dry by nature when it doesn't secrete enough sebum to lubricate the hair shaft. Hair also tends to dry out with age, as sebum production declines.
Pollution, sun, chlorine and seawater dry out the fiber, causing the scales to spread and the hair to lose its suppleness and shine.
Dry hair is a condition that can be exacerbated by the vagaries of the weather. Indeed, climatic variations, including temperature variations and exposure to the sun, can have a considerable impact on your hair's hydration. When the ambient air is devoid of moisture, your hair can suffer, losing its natural shine and becoming more fragile, manifesting itself in rough texture and split ends.
The use of heaters also removes moisture from between the hair's protective scales. Increased use of these appliances makes the fiber drier, porous and rougher.
In addition to environmental factors, certain hair care practices can aggravate dryness. Washing too often or using unsuitable products can have a stripping effect on hair, removing the natural oils that protect and nourish hair fibers. This can lead to increased dehydration, leaving hair vulnerable and lacking in vitality. The process of repeated wetting and drying is also a stress factor for the hair. Each time hair is wet and then dried, it undergoes expansion and contraction, which can ultimately dry out and weaken it. What's more, the use of high-temperature drying appliances can cause further damage, especially as hair is more sensitive and delicate when wet.
There's nothing we can do about genetics: hair can be dry or very dry by nature, resulting in poor scalp irrigation and insufficient sebum secretion. But there's also everything we can put it through: the aggression of a too-hot hairdryer, inopportune brushing, ill-adapted treatments, bleaching, etc. Add to this the explosive cocktail of sun, wind, seawater, chlorine, pollution, UV rays and stress, and the results are obvious. The capillary fiber is damaged, leading to dry hair.
Attacked by hair styling and other aggressions (straighteners, bleaching, hair dryers, chlorine, etc.), this protective surface shield no longer plays its role as a barrier for the hair fiber.
Like tiles on a roof, the scales are interlocked. When degraded, they break apart and expose the inside of the hair. As a result, the water naturally present in the hair evaporates excessively and the hair dries out.
Caring for dry and very dry hair on a daily basis can be a challenge, but with the right products and routines it's possible to improve your hair’s appearance and health.
First of all, it's important to use a shampoo specially designed for dry hair. Opt for moisturizing and nourishing products that will help restore lost moisture and strengthen weakened hair. Nourish your hair regularly by applying a moisturizing mask once or twice a week. Sublime Karité masks, which act at the heart of the hair fiber, benefit from new, cutting-edge formulas concentrated in smoothing conditioning agents, which are formidable for caring for lengths, to which they restore suppleness, softness and discipline. Hair is instantly transformed, with a radiant shine just like leaving the salon.

Frizz can be a real nightmare for those who want smooth, well-disciplined hair. But don't panic: there are effective solutions for eliminating frizz and restoring perfectly smooth, silky hair. First of all, it's important to adopt a hair routine that's adapted to your hair type. Use products specifically designed to control frizz, such as shampoos and smoothing masks. Also, be careful not to overuse heating appliances, such as straightening irons or hair dryers, which can aggravate frizz. Next, remember to moisturize your hair regularly. Frizz is often the result of dehydrated hair. Apply a moisturizing conditioner or hair oil to deeply nourish your hair and make it smoother. Finally, to temporarily eliminate frizz, you can use a disciplining milk or smoothing cream. Apply to towel-dried or dry hair to discipline lengths and make hair more supple.
Heat protection is essential to protect hair from damage caused by excessive heat from styling tools such as straightening irons, curling irons and hair dryers. Repeated exposure to heat can weaken hair, leaving it dry, brittle and prone to split ends. Using heat-protection products such as sprays, creams or oils creates a protective barrier that helps reduce the damaging effects of heat on hair. These products work by minimizing moisture loss, sealing hair cuticles and reducing friction during styling, keeping hair healthier and preventing damage.
Dry ends are often the sign of hair in need of moisture and nutrients. To combat dry hair, it's essential to adopt the right care routine. Start by reducing the frequency of washing to preserve the scalp's natural oils, and opt for gentle shampoos. After each wash, apply a nourishing mask, concentrating on the lengths and ends. Incorporate a deep moisturizing mask, specially formulated for dry hair, into your routine to restore moisture and vitality to your ends. Avoid heated appliances that aggravate dry ends. When using a hair dryer, straightening or curling iron, be sure to apply a thermal protector to minimize damage. Discover the perfect range to combat dry and very dry hair: Sublime Karité.
