Skinification - the future of hair care

If you’re even slightly interested in beauty, you’ve probably heard of hyaluronic acid, whose moisture-attracting and moisture-retaining properties have long since taken the skincare industry by storm. 
But did you know that hyaluronic acid is also being used more and more in hair care?
 In this article, we delve into the future of hair care, where ingredients inspired by skincare are paving the way for a new era in hair care.

‘Skinification’

A new trend is taking the haircare world by storm. ‘Skinification’ represents the fusion of skincare and haircare. It marks a new era in the care of both hair and scalp, drawing inspiration from skincare routines and ingredients traditionally associated with skincare, including the potent and much-hyped ingredients: hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and ceramides. But we’re also seeing a growing focus on vitamins and minerals, which beauty enthusiasts are increasingly seeking out to achieve the same benefits in their hair care.

This is partly due to the growing interest in scalp care – because you can’t talk about hair care without taking the skin on the scalp into account. In fact, we should consider renaming ‘hair washing’ to ‘scalp washing’, because when you wash your hair, it’s actually the scalp that’s most important to cleanse.

Hyaluronic acid: the moisture magnet

Before we explore the role of hyaluronic acid in hair care, it’s important to understand its development within skincare. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a gel-like substance found naturally in the skin’s connective tissue, which ensures the skin remains hydrated. Hyaluronic acid has a unique ability to attract and retain massive amounts of fluid. In short: hyaluronic acid, the moisture magnet, is a fast track to skin that looks plumper, better hydrated and fresher – and has therefore rightly earned its reputation as a true skincare hero. 

But how can hyaluronic acid be applied to hair care?

Karmameju’s clinically proven hyaluronic acid is just one example of the many ingredients we’ve extracted using innovative biotechnology, which you’ll find in a wide range of our products. 

Hyaluronic acid – a game-changer in hair care

Incorporating hyaluronic acid into haircare products brings a host of benefits. Just as it benefits the skin, hyaluronic acid has the ability to attract and retain moisture in the hair and scalp:

Hydrates the hair
Hyaluronic acid works on hair fibres in the same way as it does on the skin, allowing the hair fibres to absorb and lock in moisture from products and from water – think of hyaluronic acid as a large glass of water for your hair.

Reduces frizz and adds shine
Hyaluronic acid also helps to seal the outer layer of the hair shaft, which reduces frizz and instead boosts the hair with a sublime shine. 

Adds body and volume to the hair
Hyaluronic acid has a plumping effect – particularly beneficial for dry and damaged hair. Its volumising effect can be used to add body at the roots – ideal for Scandinavian hair. 

Karmameju’s bioactive hyaluronic acid in HALO hair mask consists of several different molecular sizes that penetrate deep into the various layers of the hair shaft, leaving a proven higher level of moisture, retaining moisture in the hair, reducing frizz and adding volume, shine and softness.
This is particularly beneficial for those struggling with dry, frizzy or damaged hair, as the hyaluronic acid works to restore and maintain optimal moisture levels. 

However, ALL hair types benefit from incorporating hyaluronic acid into their hair care routine.
