These are the internal structural lipids found in the space between the cuticle cells. They are associated with the proteins that form the CMC (Cell Membrane Complex) and ensure they bind well.

Ceramide 2 is one of six ceramides found in the hair. Its incorporation effectively protects hair that has suffered chemical damage; it is introduced in a natural way between the cells of the cuticle and acts as a cement. This binds together the scales, producing a restructuring and smoothing effect as well as clearly reinforcing the structure of the hair itself.

As a result of applying a dye, a bleaching process or a perm, the hair is subjected to changes and attacks that may damage its intrinsic structure (loss of cementing substance, irreversible rupture of the disulphide bridges, and so on) and lead to partial loss of its properties. The hair becomes more fragile, with a lack of moisture, dull and difficult to comb, and loses the ability to protect itself against further attacks.

The TEKNIA DEEP CARE product line restructures damaged fibers by means of a high concentration of essential components of keratin and ceramides, substances which are structurally identical to those in hair fibers.

The hair is restructured in depth and gains in elasticity, mechanical strength and resilience. The ceramides focus on damaged areas in particular, binding together the scales of the cuticle, and the hair recovers its natural vigor and shine.

The COLLAGE CLAIR superblonding dyes also incorporate naturally occurring ceramides: Ceramide Complex, which prevents loss of lipid content during the coloring process. This complex protects and respects the hair fibers and keeps hair healthy and shiny.
