Hair products currently on the market are based on increasingly specialised, innovative and high-tech formulations and product ranges - similar to products launched on the skin care market in recent years.

But what you may not know is that a fourth barrier exists. This is essential for the wellbeing of your skin but is unfortunately all too often overlooked, namely the hair barrier. We should really discuss the first barrier since it is in fact the first one to be exposed to the environment and its harmful consequences.
