Hydration VS Nutrition: What to choose for your hair?
Between hydration and nutrition, it is sometimes difficult to know what your hair really needs. Understanding these two concepts is essential to maintaining healthy, radiant, and strong hair. In this article, Julie Pernet, a hair health expert, will demystify these two notions and help you identify the specific needs of your hair, both on the scalp and along the lengths.
Hair Hydration: The Essence of Hair Life
Hydration is essential for maintaining the health and suppleness of your hair. Dehydrated hair can appear dull, brittle, and lack vitality. Hydration mainly consists of providing water to the hair to preserve its elasticity and softness.

To rehydrate your hair, a water-based product is essential. MakeMyMask's Aloe Vera and Flaxseed Hair Jelly is an ideal solution. Aloe Vera is known for its exceptional moisturizing properties, while flaxseeds bring softness and shine to your hair. This product helps rehydrate your lengths and maintain a healthy and balanced scalp.
Hair Nutrition: The Vital Force of Hair

Nutrition involves providing the lipids (fats) and proteins necessary to strengthen and nourish the hair fiber. Under-nourished hair can be fragile, thin, and prone to breakage.

To deeply nourish your hair, it is essential to use a product rich in fatty substances. MakeMyMask's Nourishing Hair Whipped Cream is perfectly suited for this. Made with natural and nourishing ingredients, it provides your hair with the lipids necessary to strengthen and protect it against external aggressions. It is ideal for revitalizing dry and damaged hair, and for maintaining a healthy and well-nourished scalp.
How to identify your hair's needs?

It is important to assess your hair's specific needs. Here are some steps to determine if your hair lacks hydration or nutrition:
- Observation: Examine your hair and scalp. Is it dry, dull, or brittle?
- Touch: Touch your hair. Is it rough or soft? Rough hair often lacks hydration, while soft hair may lack nutrition.
- Split Ends Analysis: Look at your ends. Split and brittle ends indicate a lack of hydration or nutrition.
- Scalp Condition: A dry and itchy scalp may indicate a need for hydration, while a scalp that produces little sebum may indicate a need for nutrition.
