Bid goodbye to coarse and frizzy hair with treatments that revitalize your hair from inside out
A common hair problem in Singapore is frizziness, which leads to dull, rough, and frizzy hair that is made worse by the high level of humidity here. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, chemical treatments and styling products, heat styling tools, and even combing and brushing can damage hair cuticles. Hair treatments are essential in helping us protect our hair and repair damage to achieve smooth, manageable, and stronger hair.
What Causes Frizzy Hair and Hair Damage?
Chemical treatments and bleaching damage our hair by altering hair structure, reducing its strength and moisture retention ability, and causing our hair cuticles, or the outer layer of our hair, to open. Heat styling tools, styling products, and UV rays are also causes of this. When the hair cuticles are raised, trap water molecules from the air when the humidity level is too high, and bind to the proteins inside our hair. This causes the cuticles to expand even further, which leads to dull, untameable, and frizzy hair that deteriorates in health and is more brittle as more frizz-inducing moisture continues to get trapped.
Hair treatments can help to replenish moisture and protein from within the hair and seal and smooth the hair cuticles. Protein hair treatments can repair overall hair structure as well for stronger, more resilient strands. We pick three of our favorite hair treatments at U Hair that can help to keep our hair in check and undo the damage.
U Hair, now located in both the Western and Eastern ends of Singapore at Jurong Point and Pasir Ris Mall, recommends the following hair treatments for damaged and frizzy hair.
Viege Hair Treatment
Viege Hair Treatment is one of the most popular hair treatments due to its natural plant ingredients. It is known for its natural plant oils which are more easily absorbed into our hair for more effective results. This treatment is suitable for dull and limp hair that lacks nourishment.
Quinoa seed oil: Quinoa is packed with amino acids, also known as the building blocks of protein, which can help to build hair strength, hair resilience, and hair elasticity by forming a protective barrier around each strand.
Chia seed oil: It is rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, creating a source of nourishment and hydration for lifeless and brittle hair. Chia seed oil penetrates the hair shaft to seal moisture, thus preventing further breakage for healthier and stronger hair.
Pistachio oil: Lightweight and easily absorbed by the hair shaft, Pistachio oil is an underrated ingredient for haircare. Not only does it restore hair shine and softness without making our hair look oily and greasy, it also provides protection against heat, which is perfect for those who regularly use heat-styling tools.
I.A.U Cell Care Treatment
This hair treatment begins from the scalp to provide all-rounded care and restore hair elasticity from the roots. It is important to keep the scalp moisturized to ensure the scalp does not lose its elasticity, which, in turn, keeps the hair follicles protected and encourages the growth of healthy hair.
The I.A.U Cell Care foam combines two key ingredients to replenish our hair with the nourishment it needs:
Elastin: Elastin increases hair resilience by moisturizing the hair and scalp from within.
Pycnogenol®: Also known as French pine bark extract, it is packed with antioxidants that can protect the scalp and the hair from oxidative damage, combatting free radicals to prevent hair thinning and hair loss.
Together with keratin, Avocado oil, Jojoba extract, and other plant extracts, I.A.U Cell Care treatment restores weakened and collapsed hair structure, repairing it and building up its elasticity again to retain moisture and nourishment. This treatment also coats the hair with a layer of moisture-retaining film to mend the damaged cuticles, fortifying each strand and thus improving brittle hair and reducing split ends and breakage.
Hair Rescue Treatment
Arguably the most popular hair treatment in U Hair Singapore and true to its name, Hair Rescue is the go-to hair treatment for those who need to “save” their hair. Hair Rescue is known to have the powerful ability to revitalize damaged hair and get rid of frizziness in just one treatment. While its longevity still depends on individual lifestyle and hair habits, it is undeniable how one treatment can greatly improve the state of our hair.
Hair Rescue Treatment is U Hair’s signature treatment for damaged hair with its blend of the following key haircare ingredients:
Active Protein: This helps to restore vitality to our hair by hydrating it and replenishing lost moisture so that our hair looks healthier and more vibrant.
Collagen: An ingredient that is more commonly known for its applications in skincare, collage can also strengthen brittle hair, repair split ends, and repair dry hair to enhance the volume of our hair for a fuller, healthier look.
Hydrolyzed Keratin: A mainstay in haircare, hydrolyzed keratin is keratin broken down into smaller molecules for easier absorption by the hair to repair damage and thus strengthen each hair strand.
If you frequently bleach your hair, use heat-styling tools, or have wavy hair that naturally traps more humidity, the award-winning Hair Rescue treatment for damaged hair may just be the solution for you.
