Hello girls!
Today, I propose a studious post on a very interesting theme: the essential fatty acids as part of our hair care products. :-)
In fact, I'm going to be more general, in this one, because I had already spoken to one of the main acids Essential Fatty: the omega 3 . Here, we'll talk about all the family and their role in the hair. So initially, the family of fatty acids (EFAs to go faster), there are two major lineages: that of linolenic acid (omega 3) and that of linoleic acid (omega 6). These acids are termed essential because our body can not manufacture them itself, so it is absolutely necessary. If you read the post returned to the omega 3 that I put the link above, you see that the benefits of these acids are multiple for the entire body but especially to return on the hair, it is interesting to know that omega 3 maintain the elasticity of the hair while omega 6 control their rate of hydration (it limits the loss). Pretty cool, right?
And it's not over! EFAs keep a role in a healthy scalp too. ! So by extension, it promotes hair growth. ;-) Let me explain. EFAs maintain a favorable moisture level in the scalp so that it is both flexible and durable. We know that when it is dry and you have dandruff, hair can not grow well and sometimes fall prematurely. And Above that, the keratin produced by a dry scalp is not good, because they are poorly hydrated at the origin. Suddenly, without AGE, not hydration, so no good keratin, and ultimately weaken the hair!
EFAs are also found in the hair cuticle (the scales that reflect light) in ceramides, which are part of the composition. At this point, their role is to cement the scales between them to form a smooth surface allowing hair to be protected and well reflect light. And suddenly, at the same time they protect hair by welding the scales between them, it also helps retain moisture better and even to capture from ambient air to maintain proper internal rate of hydration, when everything works well!
:-) But I said when everything works well .... Our hair afros do not work quite like that, for several reasons.
Already, we know that all our hair curly, naturally dry. Relaxed or not.
It just has to see when a girlfriend haired Caucasian tells us that without putting anything in her hair if she did not wash after 3 days they grease level roots to ends. We can wait a week or two or even more for the most courageous, and never see grease (they even do the opposite). Besides, I think I've never seen grease naturally, my hair. Anyway!
To return to what I said before this example, our hair is dry in nature (our sebaceous glands produce very little sebum), which is because they are adapted to the climate (hot and very wet) our latitude of origin. Since moisture in the air is everywhere and always, needless to manufacture many things in-house (little sebum, as I said above and as low intake of EFAs). The Caribbean or elsewhere, you may have noticed they do not react like that here, eh? They are "better out there." It is often said that! Well it works the same for the skin: mode crocodile in temperate climates, soft and silky in tropical climates.
Another important reason why our hair afros miss AGE are our habits Hair: straightening, coloring, bleaching ... So many things that contribute to accentuate the dryness of our precious! When we did a lot of chemical changes in her hair in a short time, the sebum that has rarely disappears and ceramides. So when the hair lost both guards and at the same time, strong scales to protect them, they become vulnerable to all attacks and eventually become rough, porous, dry and dull. Not really top!

That said, there are ways to prevent these minor injuries on a daily basis, first by carefully choosing its vegetable oils based on its properties, and thanks to the virtues of the oil bath, that love our hair. I would you did say more on these topics at once, but it is enough for the post of the day! It will read back again! :-P
