Composition of the Hair

• Protein (70-80%) adds strength and resilience
• Moisture (10-15%) softens and adds flexibility
• Lipids (3-6%) keep the hair soft and supple
• Pigment (1%) adds color to hair and absorbs UV rays
• Minerals (.05-.5%) attract and bind proteins together
• Carbohydrates (.1 – .5%) are the intercellular cement that binds moisture and proteins together

Distressed Hair
Distressed hair is weakened hair that has been physically changed in some way. There are two key types of hair distress:

	CHEMICAL DISTRESS Causes: overuse of chemical services such as haircolor, lightening, perming or straightening Effects: Swollen cortex Stretched, weakened cuticle layers A reduction in elasticity resulting in upsetting the moisture / protein balance in the cortex
	MECHANICAL DISTRESS Causes: normal wear-and-tear from blow-drying, curling and flat irons, and everyday brushing Effects: Weakened hair fiber Split ends “Ruffling” effect on the cuticle making hair dull and lifeless

Knowledge of the hair’s composition established proof that topically applied protein and moisturizing solutions – formulated with the appropriate “bonding” capabilities, can dramatically improve weakened and sensitized hair.
