Hyaluronic acid is well known for its skin benefits as it promotes healthier, more supple skin, reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and speeds up wound healing.
But many videos appeared recently on Tiktok, talking about using hyaluronic acid for hair as it has numerous benefits.
Certified trichologist and inventive colorist Bridgette Hill, shared that hyaluronic acid has numerous benefits for the hair one of which is that it acts as a humectant in the body. This means that the acid is great at attracting and binding moisture to the skin, which gives an opportunity for the collagen to thrive on your complexion and scalp.
Furthermore, hyaluronic acid performs similarly to hair fibers, which makes the hair fibers retain and seal moisture from products. Also it is sealing the cuticle to prevent unwanted moisture to enter, which leads to frizzy hair and shrinkage in highly curly and oily hair texture.
The moisture-binding property of hyaluronic acid is beneficial to all hair types and textures by helping retain the proper balance of lipids, humectants, and proteins required for healthy hair.
It can be applied topically on a daily basis or as needed on your wash days and it works best when used with water. When applied to damp hair, hyaluronic acid can use the water to help pull the moisture into the hair. Experts recommend pairing it with jojoba and argan oils for dry hair or with collagen and proteins, like keratin, for strengthening the hair.
