There are lots of reasons lipids in and on your hair can be stripped away. Washing, chemical services, exposure to UV light, and oxidative reactions all impact those protective oils. If your everyday shampoo isn’t optimized for hair, your hair is exposed to surfactants that can strip away protective lipids.
UV exposure from the sun is another contributor to lipid loss. Creating free radicals and reactive oxygen species ROS —which react with their surroundings and wreak havoc—UV exposure can damage the proteins and lipids in your hair.

Can lost lipids be restored?
In reality, oil products act as a bandaid, creating a layer of protection to temporarily replace but never restore lost lipids that exist naturally on your hair surface. Your best bet is implementing a holistic hair care routine, avoiding the overuse of harsh surfactants, and prioritizing damage repair on the molecular level.
