Strong, healthy, shiny hair is everyone's adornment, but rarely does anyone feel satisfied with the condition of their natural hair. When faced with hair care problems, it can be a mistake to rush to choose new products. After all, you want to try something innovative, unusual, and it is easy to believe that complex product formulas will be more effective. However, the secret of effectiveness often lies in simplicity. Therefore, it is always worth trying products with natural elements, the benefits of which for hair have been known for hundreds of years.
Those looking for natural and time-tested solutions should try Miya - vegan hair and scalp care products made in Italy.
Why is it important to take care of your hair?
It is known that human ancestors were much hairier, but over time, dense hair covering the entire body became useless, which is why nowadays most of the hair covering a person is concentrated on the head, around the genitals, and limbs. Hair distribution is one of the secondary signs of sexual maturity, so hair essentially speaks of a mature, healthy body. For this reason, lush, well-groomed head hair is directly related to a person's attractiveness: its good condition is associated with high-quality genes that we would wish for our descendants.
Lipids and proteins – the source of healthy hair
Lipids – cells located on the surface and structure of the hair fiber. Lipids contain fatty acids, sphytosphingosine, ceramide, cholesterol and cholesterol sulfate. They are necessary because they give hair shine, maintain moisture levels, and help it adhere to the skin. Lipids in the human body increase during puberty, as sebum production increases – which leads to more oily scalp. There are two types of lipids: endogenous lipids are those that are present in the hair and are mainly responsible for its shine. Exogenous lipids are deposited on the hair with sweat/sebum and can make the hair greasy.
Protein is the most important structural component of hair, made up of long chains of amino acids. 88% of hair, especially its core, is made up of protein. This element gives hair its shape, elasticity and strength. Hair is rich in a fibrous protein called keratin throughout its length. The keratin in hair is called “hard”. Keratin proteins are formed by a combination of eighteen natural amino acids.
A lack of protein and lipids has a very negative effect on hair: it becomes difficult to comb, coarse and dry, prone to falling out. Damaged hair lacks healthy shine, and its ends often split.
Is there snow in your hair? How to deal with dandruff
Dandruff affects many people, regardless of their gender or age. Dandruff, often accompanied by an itchy scalp, is characterized by excessive flaking of the skin, hair, and the appearance of small whitish flakes of skin or dead skin cells. Dandruff is considered an abnormality of the scalp that causes an unpleasant "snow effect" when flakes of dandruff fall from the scalp onto clothing when combing the hair. Dry dandruff is more common in winter and is also more noticeable during stressful periods when a person tends to scratch their head.
The Italian-made Miya "MAKA" product line effectively combats dandruff, gently but thoroughly cleansing the hair and removing flaky cells, maintaining the physiological balance of the scalp. Contains biological ginger and nettle extract, which control scalp skin problems, as well as stimulate scalp blood circulation and promote hair growth. The effect is enhanced by the salicylic acid in the composition and substances with keratolytic effects, which remove dead skin cells and reduce the amount of toxins on the scalp.
Hair loss is a problem that can rarely be avoided
Hair loss is a serious problem that many people face. It is difficult to solve this situation because there are many factors that affect the condition of the hair and scalp. Since there are so many factors, it becomes difficult to name the exact cause of hair loss, but this is a prerequisite for finding the right solution.
However, it is worth trying hair care products that effectively strengthen and nourish the hair. Miya's "HINGA" line products have a positive effect on the overall condition of the hair and scalp, providing vitamins and minerals, the lack of which causes structural changes in the hair and pigment, and hair loss. For this reason, it is important to use products that will provide the hair with the necessary substances - their good condition is essential in the fight against hair loss.
Many studies on this phenomenon show a direct link between protein deficiency and telogen effluvium, as well as alopecia and niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency. Other studies suggest a possible link between nutritional deficiencies and TE, androgenic alopecia, and female pattern baldness. The traditional approach to hair loss is to treat it with lotion or some kind of ointment, but this is often not enough. For this reason, Miya has developed a whole system that consists of a lotion, shampoo and a special product that nourishes the hair from the inside.
The products of the HINGA line strengthen hair and promote normal growth. The products are enriched with the patented pomegranate extract POMANOX® P30, which has a high content of punicalagin. This extract improves hair growth and health. Unlike other plant-based extracts, POMANOX® P30 is produced without any residues of organic solvents such as acetone or ethanol. This allows it to maintain 100% solubility in water and avoid the inclusion of unwanted and harmful organic substances in the final product.
The effect is enhanced by the concomitant use of vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant and protects the cell membranes of the scalp from the effects of free radicals. Changes in the cell membrane reduce the proliferative activity of hair follicle cells, and thus changes in the hair life cycle. The hair is also nourished by the hyaluronic acid, bamboo extract, MSM and more contained in the composition.
Hair, like people – all different, but equally eager for care
Each person's hair has individual characteristics and tendencies, which must be matched by the care products used. Miya products are divided into lines that address specific problems related to the condition or appearance of the hair:
