The intercellular cement ensures the cohesion of hair scales.
As its name suggests, the intercellular cement behaves like masonry cement. It binds the scales of the hair cuticle to each other. It thus guarantees the impermeability of the hair.
With a perfectly intact hydrolipidic film, the scalp benefits from robust protection. Proper hydration is maintained and the necessary nutrients for the hair are preserved.
The scalp doesn’t create any buzz. The hair is healthy, shiny and soft to the touch. From the roots to the tips, from the surface to the core, it contains the right amount of water and lipids.
Disruption of the scalp's protective and moisturizing organs
When these protective barriers are weakened, the scalp suffers. It shows signs of discomfort of varying degrees.
The appearance of the hair is also affected: coarse, dry, dull, difficult or even impossible to detangle.
If the hydrolipidic film is damaged, it loses its effectiveness.
If the intercellular cement no longer plays its role, the scales of the cuticles begin to lift. The water naturally present in the hair escapes.
The scalp and the hair become dry.
