The Water
Water is an indispensable substance for all life.
Our body consists largely of water.
We find it mainly in the liquid state, the seas, rivers and lakes constitute 70% of the surface of Our Mother Earth.
Water has special properties:
​
- SURFACE TENSION: it causes that phenomenon for which it seems that on the surface of the water there is a transparent film.
This characteristic is the consequence of the formation of hydrogen bonds between the molecules on the surface and those below.
This property is used by many aquatic insects to move on the surface of the water.
​
​
- CAPILLARITY: this feature allows the water to move in very small spaces and go up in tubes.
Thanks to this characteristic, plants absorb water through the roots and transfer it to all parts of the stem and leaves.
​
- SPECIFIC HEAT: This feature allows living beings to maintain a constant internal temperature.
​
- DENSITY: it increases with decreasing temperature up to 4 ° c.
Water behaves in this way due to the three-dimensional shape of its molecules.

When we talk about hair care, we can't stop talking about water
Chemically speaking, water is a substance composed of two elements, hydrogen and oxygen, which together form the water molecule.
Water has a great solvent power that is able to dissolve many substances, for this reason it is practically impossible to get it pure, for example the mineral waters within them contain small amounts of various minerals such as iron, magnesium etc ...
Water does not dissolve all the substances, water alone cannot cleanse the hair as it cannot dissolve fats, for this reason shampoo is used but in our case of natural lovers we will use a shampoo with delicate surfactants of vegetable origin or with the use of saponiferous flours and clays.
Water can be hard or sweet.
Hard water is when it does not dissolve cleansing substances well or because it has too many minerals in it.
If we use hard water on our hair we will have long, dull and dry hair in the long run.
Hard water must also never be used for the preparation of dyeing herbs, as the large quantity of metals could hinder the coloring.
This is one of the reasons why the last acid rinse is made, in addition to closing the cuticles we go to contrast the metals that, depositing on the foliage, would often make it dry and opaque.
Fresh water is when the quantity of minerals it contains is present in modest quantities so as not to create the problems mentioned above.
Today tap water is often hard if you have this doubt, use demineralized water or boil tap water and then use it in preparations.

What Importance Does Water Have In Our Body?
​

​
​
Water helps us to digest and absorb food, regulates body temperature, eliminates toxins and toxic waste, fat that is burning, circulates blood, protects tissues, organs and joints and transports nutrients and oxygen to our cells.
​
Dehydration or lack of water worsens many common ailments including headaches, fatigue, allergies and muscle aches.
A well hydrated body rarely suffers from these disorders.
​
People who are chronically dehydrated often suffer from numerous diseases due to the fact that toxins cannot be easily removed from the body without water.
​
Water is also an important part of weight loss because it has no calories, but it can give the feeling of satiety and helps the body metabolize accumulated fat.
​
Drinking more water will also help with swelling, stimulating the kidneys.
​
When the water is not consumed enough, a body often has poor muscle tone.
​
One of the reasons why a person fails to lose weight while eating little is certainly that he is not drinking enough water.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER FOR HAIR:
​

​
Water is a valuable ally for hair health because adequate hydration counteracts hair loss and makes them healthier.
Drinking water is necessary for our health.
Water is also an extraordinary ally of beauty.
Correct hydration, in fact, helps to keep the smile beautiful and healthy, bright and smooth the skin and strong and shiny hair.
Water is a precious ally for our hair which, if properly hydrated, is healthier and more voluminous; on the contrary, without adequate hydration, the hair becomes fragile and dull.
​
The advantages of proper hydration
like the skin, the hair also needs to be hydrated both from the inside and the outside.
The roots absorb water from within our body and transport it directly to the scalp, moisturizing it and making it healthier.
Water nourishing the cells improves the growth of healthy, soft and shiny hair.
Through the nutrients transported by the roots, dandruff and thinning problems are also reduced.
​
​
WATER AGAINST HAIR LOSS:
​
Hair loss appears to be caused by various factors, first of all genetics, followed by stress, weakness and a wrong hydration.
Water is necessary for the health of our hair.
When the scalp stops receiving the right hydration, in fact, the action of hair growth is inhibited, risking to stop completely.
This is because, without the right nutrients, the hair (now dry and brittle) weakens and tends to fall.
