what is dry hair? understanding the root cause
dry hair lacks sufficient moisture, making it brittle, dull, and prone to breakage. damaged cuticles are often the cause, as they can't retain moisture. environmental factors (pollution, uv rays, hard water), heat styling, chemical treatments, and improper care worsen dryness.
the importance of hydration in haircare
hydration is essential for healthy hair. moisturized hair has a smooth, shiny appearance and resists breakage. hydrating shampoos, conditioners, and masks replenish moisture, repair cuticles, and prevent dryness. shu uemura's urban moisture range hydrates and protects hair from urban aggressors.
