What is hyaluronic acid and how does it affect hair, methods of use

Girls under 25 years old do not need to worry - their body independently produces the substance in the required quantities. But after this age, it is necessary to look for methods of obtaining acid in order to saturate the body.
There are several ways to use it.
- Interior
Doctors say that hyaluronic acid is best obtained from food - drink red wine, grape juice, potatoes, soy, meat. It is important to lead a healthy lifestyle, get good sleep and not be under constant stress. But, if the substance is not enough, you can try to get it from dietary supplements.
Suitable dietary supplements with large amounts of hyaluronic acid can only be prescribed by a doctor. You can take them in courses - 2-3 weeks per season, then take a break.
- External
You can buy the finished substance at the pharmacy, and then enrich your usual shampoos, conditioners, serums, and masks with it. There are also special products on sale based on the substance that can be rubbed into the scalp.
Important! It is recommended to follow the dosage and not add large amounts of the substance to skincare products - the effect may be the opposite.
There are special series of professional products containing hyaluronic acid. Regular use will allow you to quickly see results.
RESULTS OF THE PROCEDURE
The effect of bioreparation is difficult to overestimate. This procedure almost immediately has a noticeable beneficial effect on both the hair roots and the scalp. Visible progress in treatment is observed within a few days after the first procedure: greasiness, itching, dandruff are reduced, and the sensitivity of the scalp is reduced; subsequently the hair acquires a healthy shine. The maximum effect of bioreparation carried out for therapeutic purposes is achieved after a course of 6 procedures, repeated after 6–8 months.
Carrying out a preventive mini-course procedure before traveling to hot sunny countries guarantees the protection of the patient’s scalp and the preservation of the natural, healthy appearance of his hair.
Reviews about hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is an effective substance that can improve hair health in just a few applications. Reviews from girls speak eloquently about the effect.
Masha, 29 years old
Girls, this is a super moisturizer! I couldn’t even imagine that my hair could be so luxurious! The effect is approximately the same as from gelatin-based masks, but there is no need to additionally dissolve or heat anything. I recommend it to everyone - instant transformation!
Marina, 25 years old
A very cool product - removes frizz, makes curls manageable and silky. I use it after keratin straightening loses its effect. Immediately after use, my hair becomes manageable and I can comb and style it. For me this is just a godsend!
Alina, 35 years old
After using hyaluronic acid, I noticed that after washing my hair was dense and heavy, it seemed much thicker than before application. After sleep and tight elastic bands, they retain their elasticity and impeccable appearance. It is especially good to use the product in summer, when hairs become thin and weak after the scorching sun.
The use of such a product may well replace expensive procedures in beauty salons.
Food products containing beneficial substances
This substance is often found in food products, you just need to know which ones, then you can easily adjust your diet. Main products containing beneficial acid:
- products of animal origin. If there is a lack of hyaluronic acid, it is recommended to eat rich chicken broths not only using meat, but also cartilage. There is also a lot of this substance in the combs of chickens and roosters, their paws;
- soybeans Vegetarians have their own source of acid - soy. Many products are made from it: tofu, soy milk, meat, beans. You can prepare many delicious and healthy dishes from these products. ;
- red natural wines. You can drink a glass of red wine daily. It should be natural without dyes or preservatives, made from good grapes with the addition of seeds and peels. Those who do not want to drink wine are recommended to drink natural grape juice;
- burdock. The plant also has a huge amount of the substance we need. Eat burdock oil and apply it to your hair. You can also brew tea from dry burdock. It is advisable to undergo a course of treatment of one month. You shouldn’t get carried away, because an excess of a substance has a detrimental effect on the body, as well as a lack of it.
You shouldn't expect instant results. Moreover, the body itself decides where to send hyaluronic acid. So, after a strict diet, the substance will go to the cartilage, where it is most needed, and then enter the skin and hair.
Pros and cons, who is suitable and possible contraindications
The use of hyaluronic acid allows you to restore your hair to health, making it silky and shiny. The product has a number of advantages.

Negative consequences may occur in case of individual intolerance to the components or exceeding the permissible dosage. Irritation, peeling, severe itching, and fragility of the strands appear.
The substance also has several significant contraindications:
- allergic reactions to components;
- period of pregnancy and lactation;
- wounds and scratches on the skin;
- period of exacerbation of skin diseases.
Important! Before using hyaluronic acid, you should test for an allergic reaction. To do this, you need to apply a drop of the product to your wrist and wait a couple of minutes: if there is no peeling or redness, the substance can be used.
What is hair biorevitalization
This is the intradermal administration of cocktails enriched with vitamins and microelements. The composition of the drugs activates the protective functions of cells, restores water balance, stimulates local blood circulation, and improves metabolism. As a result, a pronounced result is achieved - such changes cannot be achieved at home using shampoos and masks!
As part of the procedure, not only the head, but also the face can be treated. If the patient wants to make the most of a visit to the clinic, we offer comprehensive biorevitalization, which includes not only the face area, but also the neck, décolleté, hands, and elbows.
The procedure can only be performed in a clinic. Any injections cause tissue trauma. To avoid the risk of infection, entrust your health care to professionals.

Thanks to its gentle composition, the paint does not cause brittleness and does not provoke hair loss. The principle of action of the pigment is also to fully restore the structure of the hairs during the dyeing process. At the same time, the color remains durable even after several weeks - you can forget about constant touch-ups.
Important! Acid attracts moisture, so it is possible to moisturize the curls along the entire length.
The price of paint is from 250 rubles.

Hair masks with hyaluronic acid are widely available from brands that produce professional-grade cosmetics. The Densifeque thickening mask from Kerastase is a sensational product from luxury cosmetics. The composition includes several valuable components that provide complete care for curls.
The action of cosmetics is aimed at increasing hair thickness - the active ingredients awaken inactive hair follicles and stimulate their growth. The hyaluronic acid included in the composition provides complete hydration along the entire length due to the uniform distribution of water molecules.
Glycopeptides provide complete nutrition to hair follicles and activate their full growth. Ceramide creates an invisible protective film that allows curls to withstand negative environmental factors.
It is recommended to apply the mask once a week after washing your hair. Results appear after the first applications.
Price – from 2500 rubles.
POST-PROCEDURAL CARE
In the first days after the procedure, we recommend that the patient not wash his hair (two days), limit activity (fitness, swimming pool, physiotherapy), and avoid applying irritating reagents to the skin (for example, hair dyes).
At the end of the main course, it is advisable to invite the patient for maintenance procedures once a month. You can effectively complement injection therapy by recommending for home care the mild medicinal shampoo MEDUL (GERnètic, France), which improves hair growth and prevents hair loss, which also has a keratolytic and tonic effect, and the restorative lotion CUTICUL EXTRA PLUS (GERnètic, France), which normalizes metabolic processes in the skin cells of the scalp, improves the trophism of hair follicles.

Hyaluron for hair: application options, popular products
Hyaluron for hair is used in different forms - sprays, shampoos, masks, conditioners, paints, gels. Masks and sprays are considered a good choice. The first ones are applied to clean and slightly moistened strands for literally 5 minutes, after which they are washed off. Sprays are used without subsequent rinsing, are characterized by uniform distribution, and can be used to restore hair that is often dyed.
The above products cannot be used if you are allergic to hyaluronic acid, even if it has mild symptoms. In addition, sprays and masks are not suitable for dry and sensitive scalp. The best choice in this case would be shampoos and conditioners. They will also provide an increase in hair volume, because the active substance penetrates into each hair, increases its diameter and stops the process of hair loss.
The choice of a specific form of application of “hyaluronic acid” should be made by a specialist - a cosmetologist, trichologist. Only the absence of skin and hair diseases and a normal general state of health make it possible to decide for yourself.
Spray
Sprays containing hyaluronic acid are presented in many brand lines, the most popular are:
- Nollam Lab - made in South Korea. In addition to the main substance, the composition contains provitamin B5, argan and olive oils, wheat proteins and soybean extract. Spray the spray onto clean and dry hair at a distance of 20-25 cm, you need to evenly cover the curls along the entire length with the product. The result of use within a month will be high-quality moisturized curls, their elasticity, silkiness and increased growth. Cost for 100 ml – 790 rubles.
- Care Desing – produced in Italy. Ideal for caring for thin and weakened hair. The composition is enriched with elastin and collagen, it does not contain vitamins, oils and minerals - the product is considered hypoallergenic. Apply to clean and slightly damp hair. After 3 minutes you can start combing and drying. The spray increases the diameter of each hair, making the hairstyle larger. Price for 150 ml – 950 rubles.
- Fluid conditioner from Libriderm . The composition includes, in addition to hyaluronic acid, silk proteins, elastin and collagen. Experts recommend using a treatment product for colored hair to restore its density and integrity. Apply to slightly damp hair after washing, after 3 minutes you can comb the strands.
There is no feeling of stickiness, the curls become more voluminous, silky and easy to style. At the same time, the ends are strengthened - they do not split even if the hair is not trimmed for a long time. The cost of a 150 ml bottle is about 300 rubles.
Mask
Masks have a deeper effect and are rarely used - it is enough to apply this product to your hair 2 times a week to get the desired effect and saturate the strands and scalp with hyaluronic acid. The most effective are considered:
- Seven Ages - suitable for eliminating dryness, brittleness, split ends, restoring shine and silkiness. The composition is enriched with the glycolastil complex - plant extracts and glutamic acid, which slow down the aging process of the skin, stabilize regeneration and metabolic processes at the cellular level and strengthen the bulbs. Price for 200 g is about 900 rubles.
- Densite is a thickening mask that immediately after use makes hair voluminous, fluffy and manageable in styling. Contains both high molecular weight and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid in high concentration. That is why experts recommend using this product a maximum of 3 times a month to avoid an excess of the main active ingredient.
Solves the problems of dullness, fragility of strands and aging of the scalp, when even pigment is produced by cells with low intensity. The cost of a 250 g bottle is 1400 rubles.
- Densifeque from Kerastase is a “representative” of luxury cosmetics; the composition of the mask is kept secret by the manufacturer, but it is known that “hyaluronic acid” is in a very high concentration. The mask is used a maximum of once a week, its active components fully nourish each hair, saturate it with moisture, and increase elasticity.
It is known that the composition contains ceramides, and they make curls resistant to external negative factors such as wind, dust, sunlight and low air temperatures.
The cost is appropriate - for a jar of 150 g you need to pay at least 2500 rubles.
All masks with “hyaluronic acid” are used in the same way: applied to the entire length of the hair after washing (curls should be damp), left for a maximum of 10 minutes and washed off with warm water without using detergents. It is better to dry your hair naturally after the procedure, but you can also use a hair dryer with warm air (not hot!).
Gel
Gels with hyaluronic acid have a pleasant, light structure, they do not need to be washed off and can be used 2-3 times a week. When choosing, you should pay attention to the following products:
- Gemene Protein . The gel is suitable for caring for dull, weakened, split ends. Can be used for curly hair, it will become smoother and will not frizz when combed. Distribute through damp hair (immediately after washing), rub into the skin with your fingertips. It is not necessary to wash it off, but if necessary, the procedure is performed 10-15 minutes after application. The cost of a 30 ml bottle ranges from 250-400 rubles.
- Kay Pro Filler-sealant in the form of a gel, has a nutritional effect, contains a complex of vitamins and keratin. With regular use, it makes hair silky, manageable, voluminous, and eliminates split ends. Among the components there is citric acid, so first you need to make sure that you are not allergic to this substance. The cost of a 200 ml bottle is 1400-2000 rubles.
- Hyaluronic Special Care . Produced in Italy, it strengthens hair along its entire length, filling the structure of especially weakened and damaged hair. Additionally, it “works” as an antioxidant, protecting against the harmful effects of external factors. Apply to damp hair after washing, rub into the skin, and after 5 minutes rinse with warm water. It is highly advisable to use a spray with hyaluronic acid in parallel to enhance the effect. Price for 200 ml – 1440 rubles.
Gels weigh down the hair a little and make it denser. They can be successfully used to straighten curly hair; the smoothing effect will last for 3 days.
Wash
Removing pigment from hair is used when it is necessary to quickly get rid of cosmetic color. If such a product contains hyaluronic acid, then you can guarantee gentle “cleansing” of the strands, simultaneous care for them and the preservation of the natural color (the natural/own pigment is not washed out).
One of the most popular products in this category is the Color Off emulsion, which is suitable for removing persistent oxidative-type paints. The product is quite aggressive, so you need to wear gloves when working with it, and if it gets into your eyes, rinse them with plenty of water and consult a doctor if the eyeball is red, sore, itchy, or there is a burning sensation.
The cost of the wash is 415-500 rubles per 300 ml bottle. Such products belong to the professional category, therefore cosmetologists, hairdressers and trichologists do not recommend them for independent use - it is possible to obtain an undesirable shade and burn the scalp/face/neck if the manipulation technology is violated.
Growth activator
Hair growth activators with hyaluronic acid are available in the form of shampoo. The most prominent representative of such products is MedikoMed, an activator shampoo that is sold in pharmacies and is classified as medicinal. They use it 2 times a week, after a month of procedures the following are noted:
- reduction of hair loss;
- increasing hair volume;
- getting rid of oily shine;
- obedience during styling;
- silkiness and healthy shine.
Apply the growth activator to the hair and scalp on damp hair, rub/distribute thoroughly. After 10 minutes, you can wash off the resulting foam, after which you can only use balms with “hyaluronic acid” in the composition.
The average cost for a 250 ml bottle is on average 200 rubles.
Paints
Of all the well-known hair dyes with hyaluronic acid, products under the Kapous brand from Italian manufacturers are especially effective. The product maximally moisturizes the strands and colors them evenly; during the manipulation, the hair follicle is strengthened, and the coloring pigment penetrates into the structure of each hair - the color will be rich and lasting.
Before use, the paint must be mixed with an oxidizing agent in a ratio of 1:1.5, for example, 60 ml of the main product and 90 ml of the additional one. Apply to hair with a brush; carefully paint over partings and roots. After 30-40 minutes you can take water procedures. If only tinting is required, then the combination of components is done in a 1:2 ratio (more oxidizing agent), and the exposure time is only 20 minutes.
The price of paint with hyaluronic acid is around 200 rubles, and for an oxidizing agent from the same manufacturer you will need to pay about 300 rubles.
Balms
The Belarusian company Belita markets a hair care balm containing hyaluronic acid. Such products have a mild effect, so they should be used to prevent the appearance of split ends, loss of shine and silkiness. The composition contains a small amount of D-panthenol, and this substance restores the structure of each hair, nourishes the hair follicles and prevents fragility of the strands.
Optimally suitable for excessively dry, weakened hair; it is not advisable to use it with increased oil content. The cost of a 250 ml package is 354 rubles. Use schedule: no more than 2 times a week. Apply the balm to damp hair, rub into the scalp and rinse off after 5-10 minutes.
Shampoo
The largest range of hair care products with hyaluronic acid are shampoos produced by each brand. They restore damaged strands, get rid of split ends, and make curly hair straighter.
Shampoos contain the main substance in minimal concentration, so they can be used continuously, but not more than 2 times a week. After washing off the formed foam, you can use a balm or spray - this will enhance the effect.
Prices for shampoos vary - from 190 to 600 rubles per bottle of 300-500 ml.
