Ever wonder what keeps your hair shiny, smooth, and strong? Let us introduce you to the Cell Membrane Complex (CMC)—a tiny but powerful component inside each strand of your hair.
What is CMC?
Think of the CMC as the "glue" that holds your hair together. It's a lipid-based layer that keeps your cuticle cells in place, locking in moisture and making your hair strong and flexible. It also acts as a barrier to protect your hair from heat, harsh chemicals, and environmental stress.
Why is CMC Important?
- Your hair stays hydrated and soft.
- Elasticity improves, which means less breakage and fewer split ends.
- Your hair looks shiny and smooth, giving it that healthy glow.
But when the CMC gets damaged, your hair can end up feeling dry, brittle, and lifeless. This often happens from too much heat styling, chemical treatments, or exposure to the elements.
How Can You Protect and Restore CMC?
- Use gentle, hydrating products: Look for shampoos and treatments that help restore the CMC by adding back essential lipids.
- Limit heat styling: If you must use hot tools, always apply a heat protector.
- Get regular treatments: At Aube, we offer specialised treatments like X Treatment that repair and strengthen your hair’s CMC, giving it the love it needs.
- Use CMC homecare products: Homecare products formulated to support CMC restoration, like those from Oggi Otto, can keep your hair healthy between salon visits.
