In the quest for luscious, healthy hair, we often find ourselves navigating a maze of products, each promising the secret to glossy, vibrant locks. At BOHEMA HAIR, we believe in the power of nature to deliver truly transformative results, which is why our signature hair oil features squalane as its star ingredient. But what exactly is squalane, and why do we prefer it over silicone? Let’s delve into the wonders of this natural marvel and discover why it deserves a prime spot in your hair care routine.💛
What is Squalane?
Squalane is a hydrogenated derivative of squalene, a lipid naturally found in both plants and animals, including human skin. This lightweight, non-greasy oil has gained popularity in the beauty industry for its exceptional moisturizing properties. Unlike squalene, which is prone to oxidation and instability, squalane is fully saturated, making it more stable and suitable for long-term use in hair and skincare products.
The Importance of Squalane for Hair
Moisture Retention: Squalane is renowned for its ability to lock in moisture without weighing the hair down. Its molecular structure is similar to natural hair oils, allowing it to penetrate the hair shaft and provide deep hydration.
Strength and Elasticity: Regular use of squalane can enhance the strength and elasticity of hair. By reinforcing the hair’s natural barrier, it helps prevent breakage and split ends, leading to healthier, more resilient locks.
Scalp Health: A healthy scalp is the foundation of beautiful hair. Squalane’s soothing and anti-inflammatory properties can help balance the scalp, reducing issues like dryness, flakiness, and irritation.
Enhanced Shine: Squalane imparts a natural shine to the hair, creating a sleek and polished look without the artificial glossiness that some silicones provide.
Squalane vs. Silicone: Why We Made the Switch
While silicones have long been a staple in hair care products for their ability to smooth and de-frizz hair, they come with several drawbacks. Here's why we believe squalane is a superior choice:
Breathability: Silicones can create a barrier on the hair shaft, which might lock in moisture but also traps dirt and other product residues. This can lead to buildup, making hair feel heavy and dull over time. Squalane, on the other hand, is breathable and non-occlusive, allowing the hair to retain moisture without suffocating it.
Natural Compatibility: Squalane’s biocompatibility with the skin and hair makes it a gentler, more natural alternative to silicones. It mimics the skin’s natural sebum, ensuring better absorption and effectiveness.
Non-Greasy Finish: One of the most significant benefits of squalane is its non-greasy, lightweight texture. Unlike some silicones that can make hair appear greasy or weigh it down, squalane leaves hair feeling soft, silky, and naturally voluminous.
Sustainability: At BOHEMA HAIR, we prioritize sustainability. Squalane can be derived from renewable sources like olives and sugarcane, making it an eco-friendly ingredient. Silicones, however, are synthetic and can have a more significant environmental impact.
