In the world of beauty and personal care, trends are constantly evolving. One of the most recent and revolutionary trends is Hairskinification. This term, which merges the concepts of hair and skin care, is rapidly gaining popularity.
Rofersam Laboratories has been applying this trend for over 15 years with great results. Their focus on innovation and sustainability has led to the creation of products that not only care for your hair but also the environment.
But what exactly is Hairskinification and why is it causing such a stir?
Hairskinification is a trend that promotes caring for the scalp with the same dedication and high-quality products used for skin care. The idea is that a healthy scalp is the foundation for strong and shiny hair. This trend has been driven by the growing awareness of the importance of treating the scalp as an extension of the facial skin.
Market Data
The hair care market is constantly growing. According to a recent report by Grand View Research, the global hair care products market is expected to reach $102.5 billion by 2024. This growth is driven by the increasing demand for natural and sustainable products, as well as the popularity of new trends like Hairskinification.
What is the Scalp Like?
The scalp is an extension of the facial skin but with some key differences. It is composed of five layers of tissue, including the epidermis and dermis, which contain hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and a rich network of blood vessels. These characteristics make the scalp more prone to accumulating sebum and residues, which can affect hair health if not properly cared for.
What are these Layers Called?
- Skin: The outermost layer, where the skin is adorned with hair follicles and sebaceous glands, providing a protective and nourishing barrier.
- Dense Connective Tissue: A network rich in blood vessels and nerves, which supports and nourishes the skin, firmly connecting it to the underlying layers.
- Epicranial Aponeurosis: A tendinous and resistant structure that connects the frontal and occipital muscles, allowing for the mobility and expression of the scalp.
- Loose Connective Tissue: A flexible layer that allows the scalp to slide smoothly over the skull, facilitating movement and adaptability.
- Pericranium: The deepest layer, which envelops and protects the skull bones, providing a solid and secure base.
Each of these layers works in harmony to protect and maintain the health of the scalp and hair.
Benefits of Using the Same Actives as Facial Skin Care
Deep Hydration: Actives like hyaluronic acid can provide intense hydration, keeping the scalp and hair well-moisturized.
Effective Exfoliation: Ingredients like glycolic acid help remove dead cells and residues, promoting a cleaner and healthier scalp.
Antioxidant Properties: Actives like vitamin C and retinol can protect the scalp from environmental damage and promote cell regeneration.
Sebum Control: Ingredients like activated charcoal can help control sebum production, keeping the scalp free of grease and residues.
What Would a Hairskinification Routine Look Like?
Pre-shampoo: This is a treatment applied before regular shampooing. Its main purpose is to prepare the hair and scalp for washing, providing additional benefits that shampoo alone cannot. Apply oils, serums, or masks before washing to prepare and protect the hair.
Scalp Exfoliation: This step helps remove dead cells and residues, promoting a cleaner and healthier environment for hair growth. A specific scalp exfoliant is used once or twice a week.
Shampoo: The primary role of shampoo is to clean the hair and scalp, removing dirt, excess oil, and product residues. Shampoo not only cleanses but also cares for and protects the scalp and hair.
Conditioner: Enhances the appearance and manageability of hair, contributing to the overall health of the scalp, aligning with the principles of hairskinification. Its beneficial active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and prebiotics not only clean and condition the hair but also care for the scalp.
Hair Serum: A highly concentrated hair care product that offers multiple benefits such as hydration, anti-frizz, shine, repair, nutrition, and anti-aging. There are also specific serums to address issues like dryness, oiliness, or hair loss. Serums can provide essential nutrients and improve the overall health of the scalp.
Hair Technology
Hair technology has advanced significantly, allowing for the creation of more effective and personalized products. Some innovations include:
Prolonged Release Technology: Allows active ingredients to be gradually released, providing long-lasting benefits.
Biotechnological Proteins:
Hydrolyzed Keratin:
This protein penetrates deeply into the hair fiber, restoring its strength and elasticity, and repairing damaged hair with almost surgical precision.
Bioactive Peptides:
Growth Factors: These peptides stimulate hair follicles, promoting stronger and healthier hair growth, revitalizing hair from the root.
Antioxidants Derived from Algae and Plants:
Thermoprotective Liposomes:
Heat Protection: These liposomes encapsulate actives, offering greater defense against thermal damage, keeping hair soft and protected.
