Frequently Asked Questions
-

Yes, ceramides are considered to be very beneficial for your hair and scalp. This powerful ingredient helps by preventing moisture loss and protecting hair from environmental damage2. Some studies also found that using ceramides on the scalp can help minimize flaking and itching caused by dandruff.

What causes oil build up in hair?
