Hair repair is a long-term improvement of the hair structure. The mechanical strength of the hair is improved, and its hydration and the defects in its structure are replaced. Substances with a regenerating effect penetrate the hair. Depending on the type of active substances, they can be incorporated into the intercellular cement, sealing substances in the cortex, or into keratin chains.

Their active ingredients are deposited on the surface of the hair and, as it were, seal its scales, smooth out damaged areas, prevent the loss of water from the hair shaft, make it thicker, softer, and reflect light. As a result, the hair is visually shiny, silky, thick, although, in reality, its structure remains the same.
