Each and every HairGia hair product is personally tested by the members of the HairGia family to ensure quality and results.
Healthy Hair
Hair is made up of 88% protein, 2-4% essential fatty acids and 10% moisture. Protein is essential for every cell and is a combination of amino acids. Molecular weight is a range of average molecular weights of a blend of protein sizes suitable to penetrate the entire hair shaft. To learn more about the make-up of strong hair, and our product ingredients, continue reading below.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Essential Fatty Acids, EDTA:” open=”on”]
Essential Fatty Acids: Necessary for hair to have sheen. EFAs contribute to 50% of the hair’s sheen.
EDTA: ethylendiamine tetraacetic acid- a sequestering agent found in all our shampoos used to remove bid up, trace metals, impurities.

Molecular weight is important because it is the range of the average molecular weight of a blend of protein sizes. This is important to be suitable to penetrate the entire hair shaft. The molecular weight of the protein to effectively penetrate the hair is in the range of 150-800- 2000. Anything above 2500 coats the cuticle layer only causing build up.
150mw- representing the medulla
800mw- the cortex
200mw- the cuticle layer
Each part of the hair cuticle, the cortex, and medulla will allow different weights and sizes. HairGia combines botanicals with hydrolyzed human hair keratin protein along with soy and wheat proteins. To create a unique protein mix that penetrates all parts of the hair shaft. Each with its own special features. A molecular weight is a range of average molecular weight of a blend of protein sizes. The molecular weight of HairGia’s product is in the range of 150-800-2000. The first part of the hair is the Cuticle Layer-MW 2000- the cuticle layer varies in each and every person, some with fine hair will have only a few layers where thicker coarser hair will have several cuticle layers. The cuticle external layers give the visual appearance, it is the protective layer, and provides 80% of the hair’s strength. The cuticle layer can average 3-7 layers, some 10-14 layers, with up to 16 layers.
The second part of the hair shaft is the Cortex- MW 800. This is the largest part of the hair shaft. This part of your hair is where elasticity and strength are found beneath cuticle layers. The cortex is softer and more fragile, and contains most of the protein and moisture. The center of the hair shaft is the Medulla- MW 150. This is an unstructured mass of protein, the inner most part of the hair structure. It delivers vitamins and minerals throughout your hair. The Medulla provides 50% of the hair’s sheen; the other 50% is obtained from a closed cuticle.

pH- Power Hydrogen. pH is a measure of acidity (or alkalinity) of a solution. HairGia products are pH balanced to make your hair look its best. It gives back shine, bounce, and strength.
The pH of hair is 4.5-5.5 a pH value may fall anywhere on a scale from 0 (Strong Acid) to 14 (Alkaline), 7 being neutral.
Only opposite charges attract. pH below 7 has more positive charges than negative. Above 7 has more negative charge than positive charges.

All hair is composed of tough fibrous proteins called, Keratins. Keratin is a protein composed of 18 different amino acids. These chains of amino acids create hair structure. Protein is a large group of molecules essential to structure. Protein is derived from the Greek meaning primary (itali). Geradus J. Mudler first recognized proteins as a unique molecule in the 1830’s.
Proteins adhere to the hair shaft to recreate the protein chain. HairGia uses the “Intercellular Adhesion System.” Intercellular the region between cells, adhesion the mutual attraction, and as well damage control system. All proteins consist of amino acids. Only 20 of the more than 80 amino acids found in nature serve as building blocks for proteins. There are 18 different amino acids found in hair. HairGia uses several proteins that have the proper molecular weight to benefit the hair structure. With the correct molecular weights and pH, damage to the hair shaft can be corrected.

Hydrolyzed human hair keratin proteins – Crotein HKP is produced by hydrolyzing human hair down to a molecular weight of approximately 150-2000. It is a mixture of amino acids. These highly moisture biding amino acids will moisturize and take that dull look away, and because you are putting hair back into hair you will see benefits such as body, bounce, and shine. Hydrolyzed means Greek hydro water. Lysis- setting free.
Crotein HKP- from Croda Inc. – is hydrolyzed from solely pure virgin human hair. In Japan, Crotein HKP is approved by the government as a food addictive and fortifier.
Wheat Protein- Hydrotriticum WaaTM The wheat protein, a solution of wheat amino acids, also has the right molecular weight of approximately 150-2000. Again with this molecular weight it can penetrate all the layers of the hair shaft that can condition from the inside out. We use this protein because it has an enhanced powerful moisturizing ability. The increased moisture retention makes hair healthier inside and shinier outside. It will improve hair’s gloss and make your hair soft and supple. Adding shine to its healthy shiny appearance.
Hydrolyzed Soy Flower – Increases the hairs ability to retain moisture that will protect the hair from damage. Works in the cuticle layer of the hair to improve the tensile strength of the hair.
Botanicals – All the botanicals we use benefit the scalp as well as the hair. This is a natural protein that is small enough to rebuild the hair without the need for heat. Botanicals can carry nucleic and amino acids into the hair because of their low molecular weight. Each have special reason for use; such as, botanicals are plant life that is highly compatible with hair, and botanicals have a natural aroma like chamomile and rosemary.
Our rich and natural botanicals are herbs and plants. Raw botanicals are received from all over the world, must have been a wild grown in their own natural ecological and geographical environments free of ma-made chemical fertilizers. The botanicals are strictly handled and maintained to ensure superior products.
