Undoubtedly, at some point you have come across these terms, and surely you have once missed their meaning. But don't worry, we are going to help you resolve all your doubts!
NUTRITION
When we talk about nutrition, we refer to replenishing the fatty nutrients or lipids of the hair. But, when does our hair need to be nourished? Our hair needs nutrition after bleaching, coloring, abuse of thermal tools, or after strong chemical treatments. If you have split or brittle ends and if your hair is porous or rough to the touch, it is crying out for a dose of nutrition. But don't worry, the L'Essentiel range will save you from this hair SOS!
HYDRATION
Surely you have heard that hair is hygroscopic, but do you really know what that means? It means that it absorbs moisture from the air in humid conditions and loses water in dry environments. The goal of hydration is to replenish and retain the water that hair loses. It is about providing the hair with natural moisture that restores movement and flexibility to our mane. The best way to hydrate hair is with the Tasmania range, it is the perfect hydration dose our mane needs!

RECONSTRUCTION
In haircare terms, reconstruction is the most intense treatment we can provide to hair. It is ideal after highly aggressive chemical treatments, or after damage caused by heat tools. When we talk about reconstruction, we refer to the restructuring of the hair strands, from the inside out. We give the hair an extra boost of strength! An example of a reconstructive treatment would be Sublime 10.31, it’s the shot that brittle, porous, bleached, and chemically treated hair needs!
REPAIR
It’s a very dubious concept! It is often confused with the term reconstruction, but it is important to note that they are completely different concepts. Repairing hair means restoring it to its original condition, and the reality is that it is impossible to return damaged hair to its original condition. For this reason, we can never talk about repair in hair beauty terms. If someone promises that a hair product will repair hair, be suspicious!
