NoCole Kidman has a habit of washing her hair with Evian water. To reveal it is Paris Match in an article dedicated to the vices and singular habits of the stars who passed through Cannes. A beauty quirk that might seem like a “star whim”, and yet, to use mineral water for washing your hair, even just for the last rinse, it promises some real benefits.
Hair and mineral water: more beautiful hair thanks to the bubbles
The secret of Nicole Kidman’s hair therefore seems to be revealed: mineral water. Whether it is still, like the one used by the Australian actress, or sparkling, bottled water is qualitatively better than that of the faucet. Truth or vice star, since do Madonna and Kim Basinger have this habit too?
It would seem all true. This is also confirmed by a study conducted a few years ago by the San Pellegrino group: the research revealed not only that drinking water daily in the right amount makes the hair more beautifulhydrated and prevents irritation on the scalp but rinsing the hair with the mineral one is a panacea for the hair.
The importance of water for healthy hair
LIn fact, mineral water contains natural elements that are essential for the hair which he constantly needs be deeply nourished and hydrated, starting from the hair follicles: if not properly hydrated, they can slow down the growth of the hair itself, or cause it to become weak and dry.
Poor water quality can be added to insufficient hydration. Running water used for shampooing usually contains a high amount of limescale and chlorine which, absorbed by the stem and scalp, can cause dehydration, opacity, dryness and modification of the external structure of the hair.
By its very quality, themineral water looks better on the hair. As hairstylists advise, no need to wash your hair with bottled water, – also because it is not very convenient in terms of sustainability – but it is even just the final rinse is sufficient: allows you to eliminate limescale and heavy mineral residues that pass from the pipes to the water. Also, rinsing helps rehydrate and restore the skin barrier.
Sparkling water, anti frizz remedy
In addition to natural mineral water, on the Net there are also praises on the use for the last rinse of the sparkling one.
Carbonated water is a real cure-all for curly, oily or naturally dry hair. The bubbles of carbon dioxidein fact, in addition to eliminating all the heavy residues of running water, they have a degreasing, moisturizing and anti-frizz power. The different minerals also improve the elasticity of the stems, especially curly ones which thus appear more defined.
This is why rinsing with sparkling water is a summer beauty habit, when sun, chlorine and salt, but also high temperatures and sweat, can cause irritation and put a strain on the entire hair which needs to be more nourished and hydrated.
An extra tip? Given the degreasing function of carbon dioxide, sparkling water can also be used on its ownwithout shampoo, for a quick wash.
