Healthy, strong hair takes time and care. It’s the result of consistent, intentional care. It’s the choices you make daily that impact the resilience of hair, from how you wash to what you use to protect it against damage. If you’re seeing more breakage than usual, or your hair just isn’t bouncing back the way it used to, let us help you rethink your approach.
What Makes Hair Weaker?
The cortex is the thickest layer of the hair strand and is responsible for its strength, elasticity, and shape. Heat, chemical treatments, tension from styling, and even regular wear and tear can break down the proteins within the cortex—primarily keratin—which compromises the hair’s structural integrity. Without this internal support, hair becomes weaker, making it more prone to breakage and split ends.
How Can I Make My Hair Grow Stronger?
It’s about the full routine, not one miracle product.
Step 1: Start with a shampoo that gently cleanses, like Cécred’s Hydrating Shampoo.
Step 2: Follow with either Cécred’s Reconstructing Treatment Mask or Fermented Rice & Rose Protein Ritual.
Cécred developed the Reconstructing Treatment Mask, powered by our patent-pending Bioactive Keratin Ferment to increase visible strength after 1 use.* Traditional protein treatments often sit on top of the hair, but our patent-pending Bioactive Keratin Ferment uses a wool protein that mimics the proteins naturally found in your hair. It’s fermented for better absorption and sized small enough to dive deep into the hair shaft, not just coat it. Once inside, it helps replace keratin and reinforce the structure from the inside out.
*Based on a third-party clinical study of 35 participants after 1 use.
For those who need extra reinforcement, opt for Cécred’s Fermented Rice & Rose Protein Ritual, which is both a treatment that restores visible strength and a nod to how Cécred honors ancient practices and elevates them with modern science. Inspired by the centuries-old practice of using rice water to strengthen hair's appearance, this two-step treatment delivers protein, biotin, honey, and rose extracts that instantly boost resilience. The second step is a Silk Rinse infused with our African oil blend and sea buckthorn oil to balance your strands with softness, smoothness, and shine.
Step 3: After either treatment, always follow up with Cécred’s Moisturizing Deep Conditioner or Cécred’s Hydrating Conditioner to seal the cuticle and maintain the results.
What Can I Do to Make My Hair Strong and Thick?
While the thickness of your hair is genetically determined, visible density and overall hair health can be supported with Cécred’s Restoring Hair & Edge Drops. While it's a go-to for the hairline, this daily scalp serum is designed for use across the scalp. Powered by Biopeptide-5, botanical extracts, and our Bioactive Keratin Ferment, it visibly improves hair density up to 1.5x,** supports enhanced scalp health and follicle vitality, and leaves hair looking fuller, stronger, and healthier.
**3rd-party consumer study over the course of 16 weeks
Think about hair care as a ritual that starts with wash day, but doesn't end there. During the week, layer in support with Cécred’s Moisture Sealing Lotion to help lock in hydration and Cécred’s Nourishing Hair Oil to protect the cuticle, smooth frizz, and keep strands flexible as you move through your day.
When you stay consistent with the right hair care rituals, stronger looking hair is within reach. Give your hair what it needs, and the results will follow.
