Hair Lipid Science

Meaning ❉ Hair Lipid Science gently opens the understanding of the natural oils, ceramides, and fatty acids that naturally reside within and upon each strand of hair. For those with coils, curls, and kinks, this field provides clarity on how these vital components maintain structural integrity and moisture balance, particularly for hair prone to dryness and breakage due to its unique formation. It serves as a guiding light for systematizing hair care routines, allowing for the precise selection of ingredients that replenish and support the hair’s delicate lipid barrier, transforming routine into a predictable, effective system. Applying this wisdom allows individuals with Black and mixed heritage hair to make informed choices, selecting products and practices that genuinely sustain elasticity and resilience, moving beyond trial-and-error to informed care for their unique hair heritage.
