Is Hyaluronic Acid Good For Your Hair?


A cult beauty favourite for many years, it now turns out that hyaluronic acid is good for your hair too!
Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, which means one molecule of it is able to hold a thousand times its weight in water. This makes it especially beneficial for lightened or damaged hair, which is less porous than healthy hair. When integrated into hair care like our blonde hair products, hyaluronic acid is able to minimise porosity, add hydration, banish frizz and even address scalp dryness. Hyaluronic acid even promotes hair growth by improving blood flow to the scalp, meaning it can offer both short-term and long-term benefits.
Adopt Hyaluronic Acid into your hair routine to be able to enjoy renewed shine and healthier hair thanks to the multitasking acid.

Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid For Hair

Being a humectant, hyaluronic acid helps hair to retain moisture. This means that the Hyaluronic acid benefits for hair include:

  • Minimise Porosity - Hair with high porosity means that your hair can be moisturised, however, it is not retained long enough to nourish and moisturize your hair. High porosity hair can be caused by genetics, but it also can be caused by any damage caused to hair like heat damage, lightening and the weather. If this is you, Hyaluronic Acid can benefit your hair by filling in the cracks of porous hair and help retain long-lasting moisture.
  • Add Hydration - Hyaluronic Acid isn't only hydrating to the skin but it can be highly hydrating to the hair. It's ability as a humectant to help hair retain moisture will keep your dehydrated hair deeply nourished.
  • Reduce Frizz - Frizzy hair is caused by dehydrated hair that is looking for moisture in the air. Hyaluronic Acid helps to seal the cuticle, locking in moisture and taming that unwanted frizz.
  • Address Scalp Dryness - Scalp care is the key to overall health hair. As mentioned above, Hyaluronic Acid is an hydrating ingredient that does not only hydrate the hair, but the scalp too! Hyaluronic Acid can attract and bind moisture the skin, helping it keep the scalp hydrated and balanced.
