In the field of hairdressing, innovation is essential to meet the growing demands of clients regarding health and aesthetics. Among the new trends, the use of prebiotics in hair products stands out. In this article, we will explain what prebiotics are and why to use them daily in your salon.
Have you ever searched the internet for “What are prebiotics?” Then this article is for you! Prebiotics are non-digestible compounds found in certain foods that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. They act as a food source for probiotics, the living microorganisms with well-established health benefits. By improving the balance of the intestinal flora, prebiotics can also play a role in overall well-being and, by extension, influence external aspects of health, such as hair health.
It’s essential to differentiate prebiotics from probiotics. While prebiotics are fibers that nourish good bacteria, probiotics are the beneficial bacteria themselves. Together, they create a healthy environment both inside and out. For hair, using products that contain both prebiotics and probiotics can maximize the benefits.
In the beauty world, it’s exactly the same. Prebiotics are ingredients that promote the growth of good bacteria on the skin. They help to strengthen the skin barrier, balance pH, and create a favorable environment for beneficial microbial flora, which can help reduce skin issues such as inflammation or irritation.
In hair care, prebiotics play a fundamental role in maintaining a healthy and balanced scalp. They help nourish and support the microbiomes, which are communities of microorganisms living on the surface of the skin, including the scalp.
Prebiotics can be found in fiber-rich foods or in hair care products. More and more brands are innovating by integrating prebiotics into their formulations.
If you’re wondering how to intelligently integrate prebiotics into your daily work, we are here to help.
Finding prebiotics in your salon involves several decisions:
To maximize the benefits of prebiotics, we have developed a new shampoo enriched with prebiotics, our Naturalys shampoo.
This shampoo, designed for very sensitive scalps, is rebalancing and ultra-gentle. Thanks to its innovative prebiotic-based technology, it cleanses while balancing the microbiome for a healthy scalp. As we explained in a previous article, the scalp microbiome plays a crucial role in the health of your hair.
It is rich in various active ingredients:
What’s the best part? It has a subtle orange blossom scent that we particularly appreciate. It is not strong and will not irritate those sensitive to smells.
To complement our Naturalys prebiotic-based shampoo, it is important to provide a full routine for even more effective results.
Before shampoo, we recommend offering an oil bath to your clients to best soothe their sensitive scalps. To do this, you can choose a base of Repair or Renovator vegetable oils depending on the nature of your clients’ hair. Simply combine it with Dermoactif, our essential oils elixir designed for the most sensitive scalps. This deep oil bath will help purify the scalp, relieve it, and prevent itching.
After performing two shampoos with Naturalys on your client, we recommend using the Sweet Care conditioner to detangle and hydrate. Sweet Care is our organic conditioner that allows you to care for the most delicate scalps.
This is how you can offer your clients a 100% personalized routine for their sensitive scalps. Respectful of their scalp, organic, and effective, it is the best way to care for their hair.
