According to a board-certified dermatologist based in New York City, Dr. Hadley King, hyaluronic acid is humectan, meaning it plays a role in drawing water and helping hydrate.

Hyaluronic acid, found in countless skin products, refills the skin moisture and helps remove fine lines instantly. When applied to hair care, the benefits are similar. You can restore moisture to hair kutikula, produce smooth, soft, and healthy strands of hair.

Because moisture from the humectan can evaporate, especially if the environment is dry, King recommends finding a formula that contains hyaluronic acid which also contains emoliene and occlusive materials such as lipids, oils, and butter. This will form a protective barrier and seal the hydration.

Theohydrolysed collagen peptide serves as a humectan, helping to moisturize the skin, according to King. That's why you often find peptide collagen in face creams and serums. In hair care, this multitasking ingredient performs some of the main functions.

Peptida collagen can not only moisturize hair and head skin, but, said doctor King, "when peptides are applied to hair, they can help fill damaged hair stem areas, providing temporary strength enhancements." To get maximum benefits, he recommends looking for peptide collagen in hair or serum care without rinses.

In skin care, micellar water is known for its ability to remove stubborn eye makeup. This can offer the benefits of thorough cleaning but it can be for hair too.

The oil and water consists of oil and water suspended in water. This small cleaning molecule attracts dirt and oil, and removes it without drying the skin or hair," explained doctor King as quoted by Women's Health, Sunday, November 13.

Therefore, King suggested looking for a shampoo micellar water to remove buildup of hair and scalp.
