Reconstructors consist of human hair protein, keratin, which has all 19 amino acids, that strengthens and rebuilds the hair. Acidifiers are conditioners that maintain a pH between 2.5 and 3.5. The acidic pH binds the cuticle layer of the hair, creating a bouncy and shiny look. These chemicals and vitamins seal in nutrients and protect the hair from overstyling, sun damage, and chlorinated water. Hairstylists do not recommend the daily use of conditioners.
Conditioners attack the hair in order to restore lost emollients and nutrients.
However, the chemicals in the conditioners do not wash away when they are used every day and they instead coat the hair. This causes it to become dull, limp, and lifeless. We are very harsh to our hair by perming and coloring it. Heat and chemicals erode the layers of the hair shaft and cause it to break that then exposes it to the sun, pollution, and any other chemicals that you apply. Strong acids will also dry out the hair shaft and this is because ofa pH of 1.0-2.0.
