If you are over 40, you know that the hair they start to change. The density and shine you once took for granted may not be what it used to be. However, that doesn’t mean you have to put up with your hair loss. With her “ACA” method you can keep your hair healthy, rich and shiny as you grow older.

What is the ‘ACA’ method?

The “ACA” method is a simple but effective hair care technique that you can apply at home. Its name comes from the initials of its three main steps: Acondicionador (Conditioner), Champú (Shampoo), Acondicionador (Conditioner). That is, you use the conditioner before and after the shampoo, creating a protective shield around the hair.

How does it work?

The process is simple, but extremely effective. You start by applying the conditioner to the lengths and ends of your hair before washing it. Leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes. During this time, the conditioner fills any gaps in the hair fiber, preventing water from entering and wearing down the hair. Then, you wash your hair as usual with your shampoo and repeat the application of the conditioner after rinsing. This helps to lock in the hair fiber and seal in moisture, keeping your hair soft and hydrated.

Why is it important to protect the hair?

When hair is wet, the hair fiber opens up and exposes its cuticle, making it more vulnerable to breakage and frizz. The pre-application of the conditioner creates a protective layer that reduces this sensitivity. In addition, the conditioner you apply after the shampoo seals the hair, ensuring that your hair remains strong and shiny.

How often should you apply the ACA method?

To see the maximum benefits of the ACA method, it is enough to apply it once a week. If your hair is already healthy, you can reduce the frequency from once every two weeks. Applying too much can weigh hair down, so balance is key.

What conditioner to choose?

For the application of the ACA method, it is ideal to choose a conditioner that contains hydrolyzed protein. This form of protein is broken down into smaller molecules, which can penetrate deeper into the hair, offering a powerful boost and protection.
