Dry hair can be caused by several possibilities such as: dry scalp, not enough moisture, heat damage, environmental damage such as sun, rain, wind and salt water and the overuse of products. When hair becomes dry its because the cuticles in a hair shaft become damaged and there is lack of nutrition at 3 different point of the hair the scalp, lengths and ends, which can cause the fiber to be lost and can cause blockage in the hair meaning its harder to lock in moisture, so when using these products you want to make sure you’re consistent with them so that it gives your hair more chance to make sure it’s getting the moisture and nutrition it needs to make the hair healthier and stronger.

The main ingredients in nutritive are protein and niacinamide. Protein comes from hydrolyzed which means the proteins are being broken down throughout the hair these proteins cling to the hair helping to repair areas of damage, and as a result the hair feels and looks stronger and healthier. Niacinamide is a boost of vitamin B3 that locks in nutrition into the hair, it strengthens the fiber barrier helping the moisture to lock into the hair easier. These ingredients help coat the hair with protein and moisture to repair the hair shaft which moisture and protein are unable to work without each other which is why you need to find shampoos that have both ingredients which is why the nutritive range is so good it’s a gentle and hydrating shampoo that leaves your hair feeling nourished and reinforced more benefits of using the nutritive shampoo is you get 81% immediate nutrition, 99% stronger hair 83% less frizz and 2X less split ends, the nutritive conditioner allows up to 116% more shine, 99% stronger hair and 53% softer hair.
