We are used to the fact that hyaluronic acid is a must-have in skin care. But hair… What is it, another marketing ploy or a real innovation? Let’s figure it out together with expert Yulia Galliamova.
How to determine on your own that the hair needs additional hydration, and not nutrition?
Is hyaluronic acid suitable for regular moisturizing for all hair types?
The effectiveness of hyaluronic acid has long been known and proven in cosmetology, but it has been used in cosmetic hair care products relatively recently.
Like any skin type, hair of any type needs constant hydration. Means with hyaluronic acid can be called universal, suitable for any type of hair.
Forming a kind of protective film on the surface, they not only prevent the evaporation of moisture due to their physical properties (occlusion), but also retain moisture due to their ability to bind water.
How do hairs of different structure react to hyaluronic acid? Is the effect the same for everyone?
It is impossible to name situations that should be avoided when using care with hyaluronic acid. Tip: if you actively swim in the sea or pool, you should take a special spray with hyaluronic acid to the beach or pool.
Due to what, when applying care with hyaluronic acid, the effect of increasing the volume of the hair is achieved?
The main part of the hair shaft is a substance that consists of fibers intertwined with each other. They, like a mesh, retain water and pigment. These intertwining fibers themselves are made up of amino acid compounds that bind and hold water within the rod. Imagine a dry washcloth. It decreases in volume, fades, individual fibers easily break off. This is exactly what happens to dehydrated hair.

Therefore, the hair will be flexible, shiny and strong only with enough water in the hair shaft. Dry hair is more intensively exposed to destruction from external influences, easily thins and breaks off.
What ingredients does hyaluronic acid work well with or, on the contrary, do not combine when it comes to hair care?
There are no such ingredients. It goes well with oils and various styling products.
Does the need for additional hair moisture depend on the season and how?
Hair is exposed to aggressive effects regardless of the season. In summer it is the sun and wind, in winter it is frost and wind, in the off-season it is temperature fluctuations. Therefore, the evaporation of moisture from the hair shaft is present at any time of the year, which means that moisturizing is always necessary.
When is hyaluronic acid treatment especially appropriate?
Always, if a girl wants to keep the volume and lightness of the hairstyle.

We started a conversation with our expert in connection with the appearance of a new hair care line L’Oréal Paris Elseve “Hyaluron Filler”. The new range includes a complete daily care kit: shampoo, moisturizing balm, volumizing serum-spray and moisturizing mask.
First of all, the gamma is intended for dehydrated and thin hair. But judging by the words of our expert, it is not necessary to wait for their condition to worsen in order to try a new care. Our editor has already evaluated the serum and shared her experience here.
