As they made clear in the Fleabag series: hair is everything. If your hair doesn't look good, it's quite possible that you don't feel comfortable with anything about your appearance.

Not to mention that the use of chemicals (dyes, discolorations, perms), inadequate combs, brushes and scissors or excessive heat and cold (irons, dryers, tongs) can cause irreversible damage in the hair cuticle.
We advise you to take adequate nutrition, moderate stress and help with some nutricosmetics... but you can also give a little 'shot' to your hair to make it look healthier. Oxygen therapy is the solution proposed by BeOxy, a unisex treatment based on the application of pure oxygen to hydrate, nourish and recover the texture of the hair.
