Active ingredient
Flax Bio
Preserves the shape of the hair shaft.From wavy to curly, textured hair comes in an infinite variety. The appearance of curls is determined by the shape of the hair follicle: the more curved it is, the more defined the curls. At the same time, the cuticle of curly hair is layered unevenly, with scales that do not lie flat against each other, making the hair porous, fragile, and particularly prone to breakage. In addition, due to the specific shape of the follicle, only a limited amount of sebum is produced, leaving the hair very dry. Finally, this hair type often becomes frizzy in high humidity, causing curls to lose their elasticity. Drawing on their unique expertise in the plant world, the researchers of Yves Rocher Botanical Beauty® selected Organic Flax, known for its sculpting properties. More than 8,000 years ago, flax was already cultivated in the Middle East, and today it grows in many regions of the world, including France. Flaxseed flour and flaxseed cake, used in the food industry, are distinguished by their high content of protein and omega-3. Our researchers harnessed all the benefits of flax seeds to meet the needs of curly hair. Flax preserves the shape* of the hair shaft, making curls more elastic, enhancing definition, and visibly transforming them*. *Instrumental tests on individual hair strands.
