What causes dry hair?

After decades of advanced research, Kérastase understands the problem behind dry hair. It is caused by both internal and external factors. It affects the health of the scalp and hair, not to mention the appearance and self-confidence of those who suffer from it. Kérastase has discovered that the main cause of dry hair is a lack of nutrients. A lack of nourishment at three different stages, from scalp to hair ends.

When hair becomes dry, the cuticles become damaged and the fiber loses its essential building blocks: proteins and lipids. At a microscopic level, the cuticles gradually open up and become fewer until they disappear completely. This results in dry, rough, and even brittle hair.  

Internal factors that can cause dry hair

Dry hair can occur naturally. Some people have insufficient sebum production, meaning that an adequate protective film does not form on the fiber's surface. This problem is usually genetic, so the hair needs regular lifelong nourishment with highly nourishing products that make up for the lack of sebum.

External factors that can cause dry hair

  • Repeated combing and brushing of the hair
  • UV rays & heat
  • Water & humidity
  • Chemical treatments

When hair is exposed to any of the factors listed above, the cuticle is damaged and the essential proteins and lipids in the fiber are depleted, compromising the fiber's natural protective barrier. As a result, the hair no longer feels as soft and smooth and is harder to comb through. Split ends appear more quickly, and the hair soon looks dull and less healthy.
