A complete body care regimen includes care for the hair. Hair is an extension of the skin and has its own unique structure and needs. Hair consists of an inner portion (the medulla), a middle portion (the cortex), and an outer layer (the cuticle). The middle portion or medulla of the hair shaft is important because it gives the hair its color. The outside portion, or the cuticle, is important because it has many overlapping scales or tiles that are called keratinocytes that, when lying flat and orderly, gives hair the shine and luster that makes it look healthy.

Haircare products should be designed around keeping the hair cuticle as healthy and conditioned as possible. They also should contain anti-oxidants to protect the hair from sun damage. Ingredients should stimulate circulation to the scalp for healthy, fabulous hair.

Things known to damage the hair and scalp include harsh detergents and chemicals. Physical damage to the hair occurs with blow dryers, curling irons, rough towel drying, color treating, and the sun.

You can protect the hair by washing it regularly with Shimmer and conditioning it with Shine . The nourishing ingredients in Shimmer stimulate the scalp leading to healthy hair growth. The ingredients in Shine help seal in moisture, protect the cuticle, and put healthy oils back into the hair to help smooth the cuticle and untangle the hair.
