Did you know that dry ends are the most evident sign that your hair needs an extra nourishment? As you read. The use of straighteners, the hair dryer, the sun or dyes ends up weakening the hair fiber and taking away shine and softness. When that happens, hair oils become the best allies, as they are products capable of repairing, sealing, and returning to the hair its healthy look without weighing it down.
These oils “act as an intensive treatment that hydrates deeply and prevent breakage. The most effective usually combine natural ingredients such as argan, coconut, jojoba or camellia, rich in fatty acids and antioxidants,” explains Jose Fernández, a hairdresser at Llongueras. The experts’ advice is to apply it from mid-length to ends, to soften the texture, provide instant shine and help protect the hair against heat and humidity. The keys? Its continued use, as well as applying it in small amounts, and depending on our hair type.
The result is a more flexible, luminous, and moving mane, even on the driest days. In fact, “a well-chosen oil can transform the appearance of the ends and restore the hair’s natural vitality,” it concludes.

This pre-wash treatment from Collistar is a gem for restoring weakened, dry, or split-end hair. Formulated with 100% natural fito-keratin — rich in low-molecular-weight amino acids — it penetrates deeply into the hair fiber to reconstruct its protein structure, repair broken bonds, and restore strength, elasticity and shine to damaged hair.
Enriched with Camelina sativa seed oil, it also nourishes and soothes the scalp, making it ideal even for sensitive skin. Although it is not applied as a finishing oil, its reparative action prior to washing noticeably improves the quality of the ends with continued use, preventing future damage. After each application, the hair feels stronger, more elastic and much shinier, acting as a true hair reset.
