​Hair Skinification: Provides new active ingredients to the hair
In the world of beauty, hair care has been steadily growing at around 2.80% each year1, and it is now the second largest segment after skincare2. People increasingly prefer more specific treatments, such as anti-dandruff (34%), those that prevent hair loss (28%), and those that hydrate the scalp (19%)3. This shows that people are more aware that each mane is different and requires its own type of care.
Due to this shift, Hair Skinification emerged, an initiative that redefines the way we approach hair health, comparing it to the meticulous care we dedicate to our skin. Current facial and body care routines are detailed, with products designed to meet specific needs based on skin type (oily, dry, combination) and also include specialized treatments for specific areas like the eyes and dedicated sunscreens. However, hair has generally been treated with more universal products. This trend highlights the urgent need to develop more specialized hair products that, like skincare, focus on specific areas, hair types, and particular functions. In this way, we can provide health and beauty comparable to the dedication we give to our skin. A perfect example of this is the scalp.

Hair Transformation: Mimics with Dermal Ingredients
Actives
In the evolution of hair care, the mimicking of dermal ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and alpha-hydroxy acids has been adopted, recognized for improving hydration, acting as antioxidants, and providing firmness, respectively4,5,6. Despite their benefits, their application in hair is sometimes limited to low concentrations solely for 'label claim' purposes.
However, people are now seeking hair products that genuinely care for their hair, repairing it from within and maintaining a balance on the scalp. Studies suggest that there is a significant connection between hair health and its roots. By taking proper care of the scalp, we improve how hair produces keratin and manages oxidative stress, preventing issues ranging from hair aging to hair loss. 7,8
If you want to incorporate dermal ingredients into hair products, we recommend considering options that provide deep synergy for results that go beyond the surface. Here are three suggested products for this purpose, while preserving the unique benefits of each ingredient.
