Hair care at home. Causes of static on hair and solutions

Girls, hello, my dears!

In today’s article, I have collected for you all the “delicious” things from my PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

How to care for your hair so that it is healthy and beautiful, well-groomed and looks like Luxurious Beauty! ☺

I described everything that I consider necessary to pay attention to and “must be followed” if you really, really want the condition of your hair to please our eyes every day!

And for us girls, this is SO important, right?

From this article you will learn:

How to care for your hair to keep it healthy and beautiful?

Of course, any issue must be approached COMPREHENSIVELY, as they say, “attack” from all sides

Then the result will be completely different than “take something like that out of context...”, try to do it, not see the result after a couple of such attempts, abandon everything, and say: “Well, well... it doesn’t work!” ...

It works, HOW it works, girls!☺

You just need to do it RIGHT:

approach the issue comprehensively, as they say, both from the outside and from the inside,
try different options,
see what can be improved
adjust not YOURSELF to the recommendation, but the RECOMMENDATION – “to suit you”

We are all different, we (all!) have different “initial data”: different preferences, different hair condition, hair type, different state of health, which is very important!

Therefore, you yourself will have to choose, experiment, give up something in the process, understanding that it is NOT yours... But something (what gives results) - leave and continue to use it!

And to the skeptics who say that their hair “naturally” is not wow, and that nothing can be done about it, I will say: “If you do, you will do it!”

Yes, genes are genes and, as they say, you can’t “trample” against nature

And you won’t be able to COMPLETELY change your hair (well, maybe do extensions...). But to qualitatively IMPROVE their condition, even SIGNIFICANTLY qualitatively improve - it’s quite possible, girls, quite!

Inspired? I think so!☺

What do you need to keep your hair always healthy and beautiful?

They need to be properly CAREED!!!

And this means:

Clean your hair properly.
Properly moisturize and nourish them.
Strengthen and heal hair with massage.
Cut your hair correctly.
Paint them correctly.
Properly protect and style your hair.
Eat healthy food, the one that will contribute to the beauty of hair.
Take additional “superfood supplements” for Beauty and Hair Growth.
Move actively and exercise.
Think correctly (positively).

That’s basically all... In my opinion, not so much, huh?...

And for those who are immediately “soured” by so much that will need to be done, I’ll say right away - it’s WORTH IT!!! And you decide for yourself.

Regarding what “right” is, I want to say this: “right” is NOT what I or anyone else says...

“Right” is when something suits YOU, something that is comfortable for you to use and gives the results you want!

I do not claim to be the “ultimate truth”, no! I simply share what is “right” for me, what suits me personally.

And you try and decide whether this is right for you, whether this will be EXACTLY “right” for YOU and will give results!

Proper cleansing or washing of hair

It seems like, what’s so and so? I chose a shampoo according to my hair type and that’s it, I washed it for my health, what’s so complicated about that?

And I used to think so... Until I realized that “choosing a shampoo according to your hair type” is not everything...

Moreover, I’ll tell you, girls, this: WHAT shampoo is not the most important thing in hair care AT ALL! Well, in general, shampoo will not be in first or even second place!

The main thing is that it IS and does NOT harm your hair!!!

1) Shampoo

The purpose of shampoo is to cleanse effectively, nothing more.

To enhance the effect, you can enrich it with essential oils; they are absorbed instantly and have a certain effect immediately.

And there is no point in any other nutritional components.

Firstly, the contact time of the shampoo with the hair is too short. So that these nutritional components work well.

And, secondly, for these nutritional components to work, they must be applied AFTER washing, to clean hair.

As I like to say in this case, “you must first WASH the plate, and only then put on a new portion of food,” otherwise it will turn out to be nonsense...

2) Salt peeling

This is a very, very, very important point in properly cleansing your hair and scalp, girls! I attach very great importance to this moment.

This is as important as cleansing your face and body with a scrub.

Clogged pores, skin covered with a layer of sebum, dust and other secretions, does not “breathe”, suffers, and looks bad.

And she cannot, with all her desire, absorb everything that we apply to her in the form of masks and creams, wanting to improve her condition... Right? And hair and scalp are the same!

3) Water temperature

Only warm water is suitable for washing your hair, and not hot!

Often those who have oily hair, trying to get rid of the annoying “to hell” oiliness of their hair, try to thoroughly wash their hair until it is “squeaky clean” and wash it with too hot water, thereby doing a “disservice” to their hair.

This doesn't make your hair any less oily!

The next day - the same thing again... Just like you didn’t wash it...

4) How often should you wash your hair?

Proper hydration and nutrition of hair

After washing your hair, you must moisturize and nourish it.

For this we will need conditioners, masks and special hair tonics.

1) Balm-rinse.

This is the first step after washing your hair. It, like shampoo, would also be good to enrich with essential oils, if they are not included in the balm.

The most universal and most “working” for hair are lavender, rose, neroli, ylang-ylang. Mint (for those who want freshness and those with oily hair), tea tree (for dandruff).

It is also very welcome to add to balms.

They will also nourish the hair, since the balm still contacts the hair longer than shampoo, so it must be “given a chance” to work even more effectively for the Beauty of our Hair

A trick that I personally use, and which, by the way, is recommended by many experienced hairdressers: keep the balm on your hair not for a few minutes, as is usually written in the instructions, but for half an hour (ideally), or at least 15 minutes! If you have time, of course...

And then our balm (to which we previously “added oil”) will work like a hair mask!

2) Hair mask

It can be either homemade, home-made, or “from a tube.” Not always and not everyone has time to tinker with natural masks, I understand…

Besides, now it's like this huge selection excellent, natural and perfectly “working” masks that many people don’t want to “bother with”...

Personally, I combine: I use both store-bought and . And I like the effect!

I would like to address your Special attention for hair masks with keratin. This substance is very important for the beauty and health of hair! Shampoos and conditioners are also enriched with keratin.

It can also be purchased separately in special online stores. And then use it yourself, adding it to your homemade hair masks! A hairdresser friend recommended this to me. I'll have to try, I still can't get my hands on it...

3) Hair tonics

They are intended for hair and scalp. Great stuff, girls! Highly, highly recommended!

They are made on the basis of some kind of hydrosol, enriched, as a rule, with herbal extracts, essential oils, etc.

Tonics moisturize curls just super!

Moreover, their active components strengthen hair follicles, stimulate blood circulation in the scalp, thereby reducing hair loss and activating hair growth.

There are also components that protect hair from harmful effects. environment, and so on…

The compositions of such products are very different, and you can always choose for yourself exactly the tonic that will meet your needs!

Using tonics for hair and scalp is super easy: the bottle is usually equipped with a special sprayer, which is very convenient! Another convenience is that you can always take the tonic with you. A bottle of tonic is usually no more than 100 ml. and can easily fit even into a small woman's purse!

What I have noticed when using hair toners is that my hair stays fresh and shiny for much longer.

In my opinion, an excellent result! Especially important in the summer heat, don’t you think?

Large selection of natural hair tonics, you can find Here

1) Hair protection products

Their use is a must! Fortunately, the choice is now wide, and every girl can choose the product she needs.

Personally, immediately after washing, rinsing and toning my hair, I always apply a special fluid oil to my hair. It can be applied only to the ends, or to the entire length of the hair, if desired.

It contains a lot of natural oils and other natural plant components.

The principle of “working” of the fluid oil is to envelop each hair with the thinnest invisible film, which will protect the hair from various damages (mechanical - during styling and combing, thermal - when the hair is exposed to hot hair dryers, curling irons).

This fluid oil is also designed to protect hair from solar radiation.

An invisible oil film prevents moisture loss, so hair can remain moisturized, and therefore fresher and more beautiful, much longer!

When applied to the hair, this oil does not interfere with the access of air, the hair “breathes” and is able to function perfectly.

Moreover, the excellent ingredients included in it natural oils They nourish the hair wonderfully, and it becomes vibrant, shiny, strong, elastic, and less brittle, which will help you grow long hair much faster if that’s your goal!

Oils perfectly nourish the ends of the hair and restore their structure, protecting against further delamination. When I started using this fluid oil, I noticed that my ends were now much less split!

In addition, this product is very, very economical; you only need a little bit of it to distribute throughout your hair! And for use only on the ends of the hair - even less...

N.B.! When applying any hair protection products (especially oil-based), it is important not to “overdo” the amount, otherwise the hair will not look clean...

2) Styling products.

Good hair styling products contain various hair-protecting ingredients.

A VERY good means– they also do not seriously harm the hair, because their composition is as much as possible “freed” from the most terrible chemical components (which, by the way, harm the hair in the most “brazen” way, worsening its condition simply terribly!).

So it's best to choose more natural, organic hair styling products. You can easily find them in any online store of natural organic cosmetics.

For those who really, really don’t accept anything like that, we can, of course, advise styling their hair with beer. And what? Vintage and 100% natural way, which our grandmothers and great-grandmothers used

I once tried styling my hair with beer as an experiment. The styling is simply reinforced concrete! But I don’t need this effect, besides, I don’t like this feeling on my hair, so I don’t do it anymore...

3) Gadgets for hair styling.

These are all kinds of special hair dryers, straightening irons, curling irons, cones, etc.

Very good ones are equipped with all sorts of additional features, which are designed to carefully protect hair from the destructive effects of styling, and, in addition, they also improve appearance and healthy hair!

This is a very broad topic, and I will not go into it now.

I can simply advise you to study this issue, take an interest in all the new products and achievements of the industry in this area. Believe me, there are so many interesting things there now!

Perhaps you, like me, will also be pleasantly surprised by how many wonderful “things” for hair styling are offered today!

But remember that any device for drying and styling hair (even a super-modern one), at least a little, still spoils the structure of the hair, dries the hair, makes it duller, brittle, etc.

So it's best, of course, to minimize blow-drying and styling with cones and flat irons as much as possible.

1) How to dye your hair?

Any hair dye, even the most super-duper-natural one, still worsens the quality of the hair and spoils its structure.

Because it cannot be that the composition of the paint, which is positioned as a permanent dye (and not a hair tone), will not wash off for a long time, and which will cover gray hair 100%, contains EXCLUSIVELY NATURAL components.

There may be few of them. They may not be too aggressive, yes. But they will still be there.

The exception is henna. It is completely natural. But it still doesn’t cover gray hair completely. Especially when gray hair not “one or two”, but already decently...

And if the first effect is such that the gray hairs seem to have been painted over, then after two or three “washes” of the head, the gray “spangles” again proudly begin to shine in sunlight...

In addition, pure henna (or henna + basma) cannot be used often; it dries out the hair very much and therefore is not suitable for those who already have dry, brittle and damaged hair...

You need to know this. So as not to be upset later.

For many years I exclusively used henna to color my hair.

Then I started using henna-based hair dyes, they are also called Ayurvedic dyes. I really liked it, my hair was smooth, shiny, not dry...

The problem with such dyes is that the choice of shades is not so great... And I’m simply tired of always wearing the same shade of hair year after year...

2) When should you cut your hair?

Well, any girl can tell you when to cut her hair, right?

Of course, on the Waxing Moon! Then they will grow better and faster, and will also be stronger. This has been proven for centuries!

By the way, even if you have long hair, the ends of your hair need to be trimmed regularly! First of all, it will give your hair a more well-groomed and neat appearance overall.

3) Personal hairdresser

It is best to choose one hairdresser for yourself and get your hair cut only by him. In general, your personal hairdresser, like a gynecologist, dentist and cosmetologist, should be permanent!

It will be very good if this person is pleasant to you, if it is easy and comfortable for you to communicate with him.

Who will not only be a master of his craft, but who will also understand you well, your requests, as they say, “without words.”

Which will feel like the best option for you right now. It will be just great if your tastes, preferences and visions regarding hairstyles coincide with him!

These are important points, a lot actually depends on them, and they should be taken into account so that the result after visiting your hairdresser pleases you.

This is from my personal experience)

Scalp massage for luxurious hair

Girls, this is a very, very, very important point in caring for your hair if you want it to be healthy, beautiful and make you happy every day!!!

The massage will strengthen your hair, promote its growth, improve and maintain its good appearance, and help get rid of dandruff.

Moreover, a head massage before hair masks is a guarantee that the results from the mask will be many times better!

A “side bonus” from regular head massage is the disappearance of headaches! And also such a state when they say “cloudy head” - that is, a fuzzy consciousness, the inability to think clearly and concentrate quickly, some kind of sudden “loss” of logical thinking! Checked!

For those who want to quickly grow hair and stop hair loss, regular massage should be like the “Our Father” - you can’t do without it!

You can do massage yourself, you can visit a salon for this purpose - as you wish... But regular, quality massage scalp must BE!

I understand that now everyone’s pace of life is so fast that not everyone has the opportunity to sit down straight and do a targeted massage, devoting a certain amount of time to this activity...

There is an exit! You can successfully “introduce” massage, integrate it into your life, so to speak, “in small batches”, little by little, but more often:

In the first paragraph - “Proper cleansing (washing) of hair” - I talked about my “massage trick” that I use while washing my hair. Here you go, there is already something you can use...
Further: I often massage my scalp when I am busy with something else, something that does not require my “hands present”, and also does not require full concentration.

I combine, so to speak... And time is saved, and the job gets done!

Movement, exercise and sports for beautiful hair

Everything is simple here: the more we move (especially in the fresh air), the better our blood circulation, which means the whole body functions many times better!

Hair is a part of the body, which means that everything will be much better with its health and appearance!

Correct (positive) thinking

Yes, my dears, hair also loves to be loved! ☺

And this is not just another “esoteric retreat”, this is how it is! I have tested this on myself many, many times.

You can’t treat your hair “automatically” - wash it, comb it, style it and run... ☺

They REALLY need to be loved! Any manipulations with hair should be done not from the position of “what a horror, I urgently need to wash and comb this nightmare...”, but from the position of “I love you, that’s why I’m taking care of you.”

I think you understand what I mean... ☺

Hair is alive, it is part of the body, and the body really doesn’t like it when it is treated unconsciously. Automatically, it regards this as dislike for itself and gets offended...

Proper nutrition for hair

I wrote a whole article about how important nutrition is for the beauty of our hair.

Alena Yasneva was with you, See you and bye-bye!

Every woman dreams of beautiful, healthy hair, but not everyone is blessed with it by nature. However, even thick, shiny hair can lose its appearance if you don't take care of it. And weakened, unhealthy hair needs care even more. Hair health is affected by age, hereditary predisposition, and stress. Hormonal changes climatic conditions, poor nutrition - all this does not affect in the best possible way. Hair may be too dry or oily, weak, dull, damaged. Sometimes quite common diseases such as psoriasis or seborrhea occur, which can lead to baldness, and then treatment from a dermatologist will be required.

Home hair care by using natural remedies and even treatment with them in many cases gives positive results. Our grandmothers did not know either shampoos, conditioners, rinses, or tonic lotions. They themselves prepared hair care products at home, using egg yolk and honey, vegetable oil, rye bread, “live” beer, onions, lemons, burdock root, infusions of nettle, birch, chamomile - all this strengthened hair and made it lush, silky and shiny.

Home hair care involves step-by-step and daily care of your scalp and hair. Before choosing a cosmetic product or homemade cosmetics recipe, you need to choose the right one. Further hair care and the effectiveness of using cosmetics depend on this stage.

Home hair care can be divided into several stages:

How to wash your hair correctly

Follow a few rules:

1. Before washing your hair, comb your hair thoroughly.

2. Shampoo must be applied twice. First apply the products to your hands, dilute a little with water and lather, then distribute evenly over the scalp. Hair should be washed with shampoo and foam during rinsing.

3. Movements while washing your hair should be soft, and the direction should be from the roots of the hair to their ends. The cuticle scales are located in this direction. .

4. Long hair It is better not to collect them in a bunch, so as not to tangle them during washing. Tangled hair becomes damaged when combed.

5. When washing your hair, do not rub it too hard against each other so as not to damage the cuticle and hair shaft.

6. After washing your hair, you need to dry your hair and comb it with a soft wooden comb. Wet or wet hair You need to comb it very carefully, as you can damage their structure.

It is necessary to wash your hair when it gets dirty. There are certain recommendations for washing frequency different types hair.

How often to wash your hair

Normal hair wash once every 7-10 days with lemon juice or vinegar added to the water (1 tablespoon per 1 liter of water).

Short dry hair wash no more than once every 10-12 days, and long ones once every 2-3 weeks. Use soft water for washing. Dry hair is washed well with cool water. After washing, it is useful to rinse them with decoctions and infusions of herbs, which reduce dry skin and give hair a silky shine. Shampoos should be very soft, with nutrients (vegetable oils, lanolin, egg lecithin, silk proteins). It’s even better to wash your hair with natural products - egg yolk whipped into foam, kefir, yogurt or whey, soaked rye bread.

Greasy hair need to be washed once every 4-5 days with warm (35-40 C) or cool water. Hot water enhances the work of the sebaceous glands. Rinse your hair after washing with cool water (this tightens the pores).

Hair rinsing

Hair rinsing do immediately after washing them. Rinsing your hair with decoctions of chamomile, nettle, tea, beer, oak bark and other herbs helps it become more voluminous, shiny and healthy.

Greasy hair It is useful to rinse with a decoction of plantain, infusion of yarrow, string, mint, chamomile, calendula, oak bark - these herbs contain astringents. Narrowing pores and inhibiting the activity of the sebaceous glands.

To strengthen hair healthy rinse with a decoction of burdock roots(burdock, burdock, turnip). This is a two-meter plant with large heart-shaped leaves, and its fruits cling to everything around it. Burdock is considered a weed, but it is an excellent honey plant and a wonderful “hair doctor.” It is used to strengthen hair. Its roots contain protein and tannins, essential oils, resins, flavonoids, phytosterols, bitterness, organic acids, inulin polysaccharide, carotene and vitamin C. Rhizomes and burdock roots should be harvested in April-May or September-October. Rinse the dug roots well to remove any remaining soil, cut into 1-2 cm pieces and dry. A decoction of their roots is prepared as follows: place 1 liter of water in a water bath and add 3 tbsp. spoons of dried roots. Leave for 30 minutes, then remove and let sit for 10 minutes. Strain and rinse hair.

Should know that decoctions and infusions medicinal herbs. Which are used to rinse hair and rub into the scalp, should be warm. They can be stored for a day, but it is better to use them fresh. After the procedure, the hair is wrung out and the head is tied with a terry towel. They take it off in an hour. Procedures should be carried out in courses. For 1-1.5 months, and then change the herbs so that addiction does not occur.

Special care: nourishing masks, balms, oils

Hair needs constant saturation with energy, especially after coloring, perming and other procedures that cause damage to the hair. For home care can be used for damaged hair cosmetical tools, purchased in the store and made yourself according to home recipes. Basic hair care products: masks, balms and oils. They differ in their action and application procedure.

Hair masks

Hair masks from natural products play an important role in home hair care: they nourish the hair with useful substances and vitamins, giving it health and beauty. Masks should be done 2-3 times a week (in courses of 12-15 procedures) when damaged hair oh and after every third or fourth wash to improve hair. Masks should be prepared in small quantities and used immediately. A homemade mask is applied before gentle shampooing (a store-bought mask is applied after shampoo). The mask should be warm and fresh. Prepare a plastic bag (film) and a towel or woolen cap in advance. Apply the mask with massage movements to the hair roots, rubbing into the head. Then wrap your head in plastic and put on a towel. This is how you create steam bath for the action of the remedy. The pores will open and beneficial substances will penetrate into the hair structure and skin. After a certain time, the hair is rinsed.

Before washing, it is useful to lubricate oily scalp and hair with sour milk or low-fat kefir, then tie a towel around your head, and after 20-30 minutes, rinse off the mask with warm water and mustard (1 tablespoon of dry mustard per 1 liter of water). You can also rub carrot juice into your scalp 2-3 hours before washing your hair. If the hair becomes oily very quickly after washing, the skin should be wiped every other day with a cotton swab soaked in lemon juice and alcohol (1:1).

Hair balm

Balms give hair vibrant shine and elasticity, strengthen and restore its structure. They are applied to damp hair after washing. They are either used as a mask: left on for a few minutes and then washed off, or not washed off at all: the balms are well absorbed by the skin and hair. Balms can be used daily.

Hair oil

Hair oil is used for dry ends. 2-3 hours before washing dry hair, it is useful to rub vegetable oil or a mixture of oils (olive, sesame, almond, castor) into the scalp and hair, do a light massage to stimulate blood flow, thereby increasing the supply of oxygen and nutrients, and then tie your head with a plastic scarf and a terry towel.

They attract attention, a beautiful shiny head is considered an indicator of health and excellent heredity. Since every woman can grow long hair at home in a relatively short time, it is worth doing. The correct approach consists not only in using all kinds of shampoos or masks based on natural products, but in the gradual elimination of various negative factors, a balanced diet and proper hair care. It will take patience, even if your hair was thick and beautiful in childhood. With age, the growth rate slows down for various reasons, and if you start acting at random, you will not be able to achieve the desired length of curls even after a year or two of continuous effort.

What determines the speed of hair growth?

The skin contains a follicle, a sac with a hair follicle. Depending on its shape, the hair, consisting of, grows straight or grows curly.

The outer covering forms the so-called cortical layer, which contains the pigment melanin; depending on the state of the hormonal background, it determines the color of the hair.

Shiny thick hair always looks beautiful and is rightfully considered the standard of health and beauty. How to properly care for your curls, what cosmetics to use? Proper care will help you achieve your ideal.

Hair care rules

There are three basic rules for hair care at home:

How to wash your hair

First, you need to wash your hair properly. Comb your hair well with a massage comb or comb before washing it. At the same time, blood circulation in the scalp increases, and dead skin cells are washed out more easily. Then you should completely wet your hair with water at a temperature of up to 35 degrees Celsius. Apply a small amount of shampoo to your palm, diluting it with water, and distribute it along the hair. Using light massage movements, rub the shampoo into the scalp. Next, you need to rinse off the soap suds with plenty of water. Repeat the procedure of applying and rinsing shampoos to completely remove impurities from your hair. Use the balm according to the instructions to give your hair a healthy and beautiful appearance. After washing, you need to pat your hair dry with a towel, do not rub it between your palms, this has a negative effect on the hair structure, which is why the hair splits and breaks.

Combing

Secondly, you need to comb your hair correctly. Gather long hair into a ponytail and start combing from the ends, then proceed to combing the roots. Short hair, on the contrary, is better to comb first from the roots, moving towards the ends. You should not comb wet hair, as it will be very damaged. Wait until they dry a little, first wrap them in a towel in the form of a turban, then comb your hair using a spray that makes it easier to comb your hair or other similar products.

Gentle drying

Thirdly, you need to dry your hair carefully. The most ideal option to preserve the beauty and health of your hair is to dry it naturally. But there is not always time for this. Yes, and you can create curls or create volume only with the use of a hair dryer, curling iron or other hair styling devices. Blow dry your hair while applying heat protectants to your hair. This cosmetic product will protect your curls from the harmful high temperatures of tongs, hair dryers or curlers.

Remember that when creating a hairstyle using a hairdryer, it must be kept at a distance of at least twenty centimeters from the head.

How to care for dry hair

Hair becomes dry due to frequent hair washing, exposure to high temperatures or due to health conditions. For dry hair, gentle care is recommended. Washing dry hair should be done using a mild shampoo for damaged and dry hair, which restores the structure of such damaged hair, moisturizes and nourishes it, and protects it from drying out. Moisturizing aerosols will help replenish moisture in your hair. You can use hair moisturizing spray "and Aloe", Collection Polynesie from Faberlic, Bonacure Moisture Kick from Schwarzkopf.

To solve the problem of dry hair, folk methods will also help:

Peppermint infusion

Prepare a peppermint infusion. To do this, pour two tablespoons of dried mint with one glass of boiling water. Leave for 30 minutes to infuse. Rinse your hair with mint infusion after washing. Mint activates the sebaceous glands, while the hair receives the required dose of natural sebum.

Burdock and olive oils

Mix burdock and olive oil, then apply this mixture evenly to your hair before shampooing. Wrap your hair in a plastic bag and a towel, creating a warming effect. After waiting 40 minutes, the oil mixture must be washed off the hair with shampoo.

How to care for oily hair

Due to improper hair care and disruption of the sebaceous glands, hair becomes greasy. To reduce oily hair, you need to:

Eat right (exclude sweets from your diet).
Take a vitamin complex that includes vitamin E and B vitamins.
We do not recommend using masks and all kinds of balms, gels and oils that weigh down already oily hair.
Frequent combing of hair and influence elevated temperatures causes greater activity of the sebaceous glands of the head.
Choose the right cosmetics for hair that is prone to oiliness. Use shampoos for oily hair and rinse them with degreasers, for example, one of these products is a water-vinegar solution at the rate of 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar per 1 liter of water.

Yolk mask

The medicinal yolk mask helps well with the problem of oiliness. Mix 1 teaspoon of alcohol with 1 raw yolk and 1 teaspoon of water. You need to rub this mixture into the skin of your washed head. Wait for 10 minutes for the mask to start working, then rinse off the mixture without massaging your scalp too much. Egg yolk suppresses excess sebum production, and alcohol degreases the scalp and hair, making it less shiny.

Anti-oily hair products

There are also ready-made products against oily hair:

Care Line lotion of the Keune brand (Netherlands) for oily skin heads.
Lotion K05 from the KAARAL brand (Italy) to restore the balance of the secretion of the sebaceous glands.
Mask from the Norgil brand (France), regulating the secretion of the sebaceous glands, etc.

How to properly care for your hair so it grows better

It is impossible to significantly increase the growth rate of your hair. In humans, the rate of hair growth is genetically determined; even the world’s scientists cannot yet increase it.

However, it is important to know that due to certain factors, hair growth may slow down. Let's look at all the factors that negatively affect the ability of hair to grow as quickly as possible.

Vitamins

The main reason that slows down healthy hair growth is the lack of favorable conditions for growth. Firstly, it is a lack of important vitamins in your body. Vitamin A, C and E, B vitamins can collectively stimulate hair growth.

Vitamin B1 (thiamine or aneurin) stimulates hair growth, prevents hair fragility and loss of natural shine. Thiamine is found in plant foods: peas, soybeans, spinach, as well as wheat bread made from wholemeal flour.
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) improves blood circulation in the scalp and generally has an impact on the overall health of hair. When hair roots become oily quickly, but their ends remain dry, there is clearly a lack of vitamin B2 in the human body. Sources of riboflavin are yeast, mushrooms, broccoli liver, almonds, cottage cheese and other dairy products, etc.
Vitamin B3 or nicotinic acid (niacin) improves the supply of oxygen to the hair follicles, thereby stimulating hair growth. Premature gray hair is a sign of nicotinic acid deficiency in the human body, since it is this substance that is responsible for creating pigment in the hair. A large amount of vitamin B3 is found in beef.
Provitamin B5 (pantothenic acid or D-panthenol) smoothes the surface of the hair shaft, promotes the formation of a protective film, which protects hair from moisture loss at high temperatures during the hot season and when exposed to a hair dryer.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) protects against dryness and dandruff, flaking of the scalp, and resulting burning, itching and other unpleasant sensations. This vitamin is found in wheat, buckwheat and rice, bananas, carrots, avocados, corn, soybeans, potatoes and other products.
Vitamin B7 (biotin or vitamin H) gives hair healthy shine, and curls with firmness and elasticity, also prevents hair loss in men. Biotin is found in beans, wheat bran, liver, cauliflower, tomato, spinach, peanuts, and boiled egg yolk.
Vitamin A (beta-carotene) reduces excessive secretion of sebaceous glands, prevents hair loss, and prevents fragility. In combination with vitamin E, the positive effect on the hair structure is enhanced; the latter vitamin has a beneficial effect on the nutrition of hair follicles. Sources of vitamin A: butter, sour cream, fish oil and caviar, and vitamin E is found in leafy greens, vegetable oil, tomatoes, soybeans, whole grains, etc.

Many modern pharmaceutical companies offer complexes of vitamins and minerals that are necessary for hair growth. For example, these are Fitoval, Nutrival, Multitabs B-complex + AEvit.

Healthy lifestyle

The condition of the human body as a whole also affects hair growth. Stress, poor diet, alcohol consumption, and smoking negatively affect hair growth and its overall condition. So change your lifestyle to a healthy one and it will certainly affect your hair and your overall well-being.

Massage

Massaging the scalp will help increase blood circulation in the skin, which stimulates their growth. This technique is easy to implement. Before washing your hair, you should use small circular movements massage the scalp with your fingertips for about 5-7 minutes.

Before massage, hands can be lubricated with essential oils, such as rosemary, cedar, coriander, tea tree, cypress or mint. This will enhance the effect and improve glide.

Leave-in ready-made serums for stimulating hair growth are also suitable for this purpose, for example, burdock serum from TM “Elfa” or serum from TM “Bielita” of the Vitamin PRO series.

After a massage, an excess amount of sebaceous fat is produced, for this reason it is better to massage with leave-in serums before bed, so that you can wash your hair with shampoo in the morning. If you used essential oils, immediately after the massage procedure, you can wash your hair with shampoo, but trichologists (specialists who treat hair) recommend keeping the mask from the medicinal essential oil for about an hour, wrapping the hair in a bag and a towel to create a warming effect, which has a beneficial effect on the hair’s ability to absorb the necessary nutrients.

Another factor that interferes healthy growth hair is incorrect hair care. If you have dyed or highlighted hair, then it needs special care.

How to care for highlighted hair

Dyed, highlighted and colored hair has a structure that needs to be strengthened and restored.

Care products

Masks and balms marked “For highlighted hair” will help you with this.

To maintain shine and color saturation, it is recommended to wash such hair with a special shampoo designed for highlighted hair:

Lifetex Color protection shampoo from Wella;
Shampoo-shine Lumino Contrast from L’Oreal for highlighted hair;
Illumi Lights from Schwarzkopf.

Folk remedies

Traditional medicine also has its own recipes for partially or fully colored hair.

Fruit mask

Make a fruit mask for highlighted hair. You need to mix kiwi pulp and grapefruit juice, add a little honey. The ratio of ingredients is determined by the length of the hair. Apply the fruit mixture over the entire length of your hair and leave it on for about 15 minutes. Rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water. This mask contains fruit acids, strengthening your hair and neutralizing the alkali remaining after dyeing.

Egg yolk and beer mask

But a mask made from egg yolk and beer will help restore shine and softness to your highlighted hair. You need to mix half a glass of warm light beer with one egg yolk. Apply the resulting liquid to washed hair and scalp. Wrap your hair in a plastic bag and a towel for about 40 minutes. Rinse your hair with warm water without using shampoo. The aroma of beer will disappear in a few hours, and after that the hair will be silky to the touch and shiny in appearance.

If you are afraid that the smell of beer will not disappear for a long time, then it is better to make such a hair mask on a day off, when you can stay at home.

How to care for hair extensions

Hair extensions must be taken care of delicately and carefully in order to increase their wear time.

Tips from hairdressers for caring for hair extensions are as follows:

Combing

You need to comb your strands with a special comb with bristles or with silicone teeth without balls at the ends.

You cannot use combs or ordinary massage combs with metal teeth to comb hair extensions, as they destroy the capsules that glue the natural hairs to the extensions. In addition, such combs contribute to the formation of microcracks in the hair, which cause hair loss.

You need to comb your hair from the middle of the hair length to its ends, while collecting the hair in a ponytail with your hand, then move on to the roots.

When combing your hair, make sure that the strands do not get tangled with each other at the joints; they will be more difficult to detach during correction. Do not catch the adhesions!

The washing up

When washing your hair extensions, do not tip them over and do not tilt your head forward. Most the best option Washing your hair is done while sitting in the bathtub or standing in the shower. As a shampoo, professionals recommend using a non-concentrated shampoo with a neutral pH balance for normal hair, since a shampoo intended for oily hair will dry out the extensions, while for dry hair it will soften them, which will lead to their combing out. In such a situation, a special mild shampoo for such hair, for example, Keune Hair Extensions from Shampoo.

Balms, lotions, masks

Using balms, masks and other similar hair care products on the hair roots or rubbing them into the area where the adhesions are located is strictly prohibited, as they can destroy the glue that holds the hair extensions to yours. Various lotions, balms and other products can only be used on the ends of the hair; distribute them evenly over the entire length.

How to dry?

It is not recommended to dry your hair extensions with a hot hair dryer, but if you need to dry your hair quickly, you can set the hair dryer to a cold setting. In general, minimize the use of hair dryers, irons, curling irons and other thermal devices, and in hot summer days Don't forget about heat protective hair products.

How to sleep?

At night to avoid tangled hair, braid your hair in one or two braids.

How to care for hair after perm

Each perm, including the “gentle” one (this is one of the types of perm), damages the hair structure to one degree or another, so such hair should be cared for especially carefully.

It is important to know that perming dries out your hair, and if you have dry hair, then you are completely prohibited from this procedure, carried out using chemicals. Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to restore a healthy appearance to your hair.

It must be said that on the day of curling, as well as in the next 3 days, you should not wash or blow dry your hair, because after aggressive exposure it becomes sensitive to the components of the shampoo and high temperatures. Chemical processes continue to occur for several more days, and no one knows what reaction may occur in the end.

Recovery

To restore damaged areas of hair, after each hair wash, use restorative and moisturizing rinses and balms that are intended for hair after perm. Such cosmetics should be applied every time after washing your hair; nourishing masks should be done once a week. The emphasis should be on the ends of the hair, since they suffer the most after a perm.

Laying

To style your hair, you can use gels, foams, fluids with medicinal properties, but only for curly hair, because fixing products intended for straight hair help straighten curls, as they make them heavier. Natural substances can be used as styling products. It could be lemon juice, beer, bread kvass or flaxseed infusion. You can dye your hair only 2-3 weeks after curling. Hair can be seriously damaged if this rule is not followed.

Combing

Use non-metallic, wide-toothed combs to comb your hair.

Keeping your hair healthy is quite simple, but to do this you need to know how to care for it. Hair is made up of proteins, so eating right and washing your hair on time is extremely important for healthy hair. If you want to improve the condition of your hair, learn how to wash it and use conditioner correctly. Then learn how to dry and style your hair without harming its health. Additionally, you will need to make some changes in your lifestyle that will promote stronger hair.

Steps

How to wash your hair

Wash your hair less often and use high-quality shampoo. If you wash your hair too often, it becomes dry and deprived of natural lubricant (sebum), which is harmful to its condition. Try to wash your hair no more than every other day, or only twice a week.

Use shampoos without sulfates and parabens. Sulfates are chemicals that create foam. Parabens are preservatives that can cause irritation and eye problems with prolonged use. Both types of substances are harmful to your hair and the environment, so try to use more natural products.

Choose a shampoo based on your hair type. Don't buy the first shampoo you come across. Choose a product that suits your hair type. There are several types of hair, including the following:
- Curly or afro. Moisturizing anti-frizz shampoos are suitable for this type of hair. These shampoos contain natural oils and have a creamy texture.
- Direct or fatty. So suitable for hair shampoo for daily use.
- Painted or chemically treated. Such hair requires a shampoo that contains extracts and amino acids, since chemical hair treatments significantly weaken the hair.
- Dry. Dry hair needs a shampoo with glycerin and collagen that will restore moisture.

Use high protein products with caution. Excess proteins can make hair very dry and brittle. Although protein is essential for healthy hair, it is best not to use conditioners with a high concentration of proteins.
Rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar once a month. This will make your hair shinier and cleaner. In addition, vinegar helps get rid of dandruff. Dilute 1 part apple cider vinegar to 3 parts warm water, rinse your hair with this solution, and then wash your hair as usual.
- At the vinegar strong smell, but it will go away when you wash your hair with shampoo.
Apply anti-frizz products to smooth hair if needed. Anti-frizz serums allow you to smooth unruly hair. It's not enough large quantity about a pea. If this is not enough, add more, but no more than twice.
- Don't use too much product - too much serum will make your hair dull.
- Wash your hair once a week with a clarifying, sulfate-free shampoo to remove any leftover residue that can leave your hair looking dirty and lifeless.
Style your hair naturally to minimize styling damage. Styling by itself will not cause much damage to your hair, but if you repeat it several times a week, your hair may suffer.
- If possible, don't do it perm, do not crimp, straighten, curl, bleach or dye your hair too often. You can straighten your hair before a party once a week, but you shouldn't do it every day.
- Do not use loose elastic bands to style your hair. Rubber bands without a shell pinch the hair, making it easy to tear it out by the roots.
- Try not to make your hairstyle too tight. Dense African braids and tight ponytails damage the hair at the base and unnecessarily load the follicles.
- Try pulling your hair up. A simple ponytail or bun looks elegant and doesn't require a lot of hair products. You can wear your hair loose or tie it up with a hoop.
Dye and chemically treat your hair rarely, or better yet, avoid these procedures. Dyeing and other hair treatments are harmful to hair. People with natural hair are less likely to encounter the problem of dry, damaged and lifeless hair.
- If you dye your hair, try to do it less often. Take a break and let your hair recover. You will notice that their condition will noticeably improve.
If you towel dry your hair, be careful not to rub it too hard, as this may cause your hair to split. Use a microfiber towel as this fabric absorbs a lot of moisture.
If you must use heat styling tools, apply a heat protectant to your hair.
Do not go to bed with wet or wet hair. This will weaken the hair and make it brittle.
Dry your roots with a hairdryer on low power before going to bed.
Take biotin daily. This supplement strengthens hair and nails.
Do not wash your hair with hot water - it is harmful to your hair.
Don't wear your hair too tight as this can lead to hair loss.
Before washing your hair, apply aloe vera to your hair for an hour. This will make your hair healthy, smooth and shiny.
If you have Wavy hair and you want to straighten them a little, apply oils and creams to them not on water based. Water can cause wavy hair to become even more frizzy.
Do not comb wet hair. While your hair is wet, it is more vulnerable to damage.
Do not use more than one hair spray per day. Too much product can weaken your hair.

Warnings

Protect your hair from excessive sun exposure and dust.
Careless handling of curling irons and straighteners can result in serious burns. Use extreme caution when working with these devices.
Contact your doctor if your hair begins to fall out.
