Hair care should be daily. In the absence of proper daily hair care, any hair masks used periodically will not have the desired effect. The condition of the hair depends largely on the care of the scalp. Hair health and proper hair care at home will always be in the foreground.
One of the easiest methods hair care at home - regular washing hair. When washing hair, I would like to draw your attention to the following essential points.
First of all, It is important to choose the right shampoo that suits your hair type. If the hair after washing seems thin, stuck together or begins to electrify when it comes into contact with clothes - this means that you have chosen the wrong shampoo. When properly selected shampoo hair becomes shiny and voluminous.
Secondly, we recommend buying shampoos of professional series, for the price they are not much different from ordinary shampoos sold in mass networks, but they are far superior in quality. If it is not possible to buy expensive shampoos, then buy cosmetic oil at a pharmacy, for example: rose, jasmine, jojoba. Add 3-4 drops of oil to your shampoo. This will give your hair shine and aroma.
Thirdly, After washing with shampoo, it is necessary to apply a balm or conditioner to the hair so that the hair is smoother and can be perfectly combed. We recommend not to apply conditioner or balm on all hairs from the roots, in this case the hair will be greasy. Apply conditioner or balm from the middle of the hair, then the effect of their application will be maximized. Our mothers and grandmothers used a solution to make the hair shine (1 tablespoon of lemon juice or table vinegar was diluted in 1 liter of warm water), which was rinsed with hair after shampoo.
Fourth, We do not recommend washing the hair with too hot water, it spoils the hair and may cause its gradual loss. To wash the hair, it is better to use slightly warm water, and at the end it is good to rinse the hair with cool water. This will smooth the inner hair scales and give the hair a healthy shine. To soften hard water, add a teaspoon of baking soda or ammonia. Water becomes soft and very well degreased hair. If you regularly wash your hair with soft water, they will not break, irritation of the scalp will stop. In addition, in order to make your hair look more voluminous, you need to rinse your hair with a decoction of nettle after washing. To do this, take 50 grams of chopped nettle and burdock root, mix in equal proportions and brew in 400 ml of boiling water. Boil broth for twenty minutes, cool, strain and add to the water in which we rinse hair.
Also within the framework of hair care at home, we recommend not using a hair dryer, heated hair rollers, curts, straighteners, or at least to minimize their use.
Let's talk about such tools by hair care at home Like combs, elastics and other hair accessories.
When hair care is very important to choose the right comb. The comb should not be metallic, because it can injure the hair and scalp. In addition, a metal comb strongly electrifies the hair. We recommend purchasing a wooden brush or plastic comb.
It is recommended to start combing hair from the tips, gradually rising higher and higher to the roots. If the hair is tangled, you do not need to brush over it again and again, this splits the hair. In this case, you need to gently unravel the nodules with your hands and then continue to comb. Do not comb wet hair, as wet hair clings to the comb and strongly stretch. This disrupts the structure of the hair, flakes flake off, and the hair begins to split.
To purchase hair ties you need to approach with all responsibility. Too tight and narrow gum can strongly hair, which can damage the hair bulb and lead to loss. We recommend to buy wide and soft gum.
Let us turn to such a topic as trimming the tips, as one of the hair care products.. If you grow hair, regular trimming of the tips is a necessary procedure for hair care. After all, the tips suffer the most from friction about clothes, from climatic conditions, from constant scratching. We recommend trimming the tips every two months.
Also, speaking of home hair care, it must be said that our hair requires protection from severe weather conditions. If you are at home or on the street, in windy weather, we recommend you to collect the hair in a ponytail or pigtail. This will prevent hair from tangling in the wind or rubbing against clothing. In winter, we recommend hiding your hair under a hat or hood, so that they do not deteriorate in the cold and do not experience sudden temperature changes. And in the summer it is desirable to protect the hair from the scorching sun. To do this, you can use either a hat or special sunscreen for hair.
Covering the topic of hair care at home can not touch such an important aspect as proper nutrition.
Healthy nutrition is a necessary element for creating beautiful, healthy hair. To make your hair look beautiful, you need to eat cereals, legumes, dairy products, fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, and juices. It is necessary to eat less sweets, flour, spicy and fried dishes and stop smoking and alcohol. In addition, you need to drink plenty of clean water every day.
Now let's talk about the nourishing and therapeutic hair masks, as well as hair lotions, as home hair care products.
Before shampooing, apply a little heated kefir on your hair and hold it for 40 minutes. Then wash your hair with shampoo as usual. After this procedure, the hair becomes much softer. Especially this mask is suitable for dry hair, as kefir well nourishes and moisturizes the hair.
Honey mask is effective for hair loss, and also helps with dandruff. To make it, mix 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of castor or burdock oil and 1 yolk. Apply the resulting mass on your hair and leave for half an hour. Then wash it off with shampoo. This mask is best done through the course for two to three months. Then the effect will be well noticeable.
Mash two ripe bananas and mix with one yolk. Apply to wet hair, and leave for 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water. This will make your hair shine.
Approximately 100 gr. mayonnaise "Provence" (room temperature), add 1 teaspoon of brandy or vodka and a few drops of lemon juice, mix everything. Apply the mixture on wet hair, then wrap in plastic and wrap with a towel. After 30 minutes, rinse with warm water. The mask improves the structure and hair growth.
Pomegranate lotion will also help give your hair a lively shine. To make pomegranate lotion, you will need juice of 1 pomegranate, juice of half a lemon and 1 tsp. honey Mix all ingredients, rub into hair and hold for 30 minutes, then wash your hair.
To prepare a mask to strengthen the hair, stir 20 g of castor oil, 20 g of olive and 10 g of shampoo, then apply the mixture with a cotton swab on the scalp. Within two minutes, comb your hair in different directions. Wrap them with plastic wrap and a towel to warm them. After half an hour, rinse with water.
Using our tips on hair care at home, your hair will always be healthy, beautiful and magnificent!
How to care for dry hair
Hair becomes dry due to frequent washing of hair, exposure to high temperatures, or due to health condition. Therefore, dry hair need gentle care. It is necessary to wash dry hair using a mild shampoo for dry and damaged hair, which restores the structure of damaged hair, nourishes and moisturizes them, protects them from drying out. And special moisturizing aerosols, such as Macadamia and Aloe hair moisturizing spray, etc. from Avon, Bonberure Moisture Kick from Schwarzkopf, Collection Polynesie from Faberlic, will help replenish the moisture.
There are also popular methods for solving the problem of dry hair. For example, you can make an infusion of peppermint. Pour 2 tablespoons of dried mint 1-m glass of boiling water. Insist 30 minutes. Rinse with mint infusion hair after shampooing. Thus, the activity of the sebaceous glands is activated and the hair receives the necessary dose of natural sebum. You can also mix olive and burdock oil and apply this mixture evenly on the hair before washing your hair. Cover the hair with a plastic bag and a towel to create a warming effect. After 40 minutes, rinse the oil mixture from the hair with a shampoo.
How to care for oily hair
Salting hair occurs due to improper hair care, disruption of the sebaceous glands. It will help to cope with oily hair proper nutrition (exclude from the diet sweet), taking vitamin complex, which includes vitamins of group B and vitamin E, as well as the correct selection of cosmetics for hair prone to fat. It is not recommended to use masks and all kinds of balms, gels and oils, weighting heavily greasy hair. Also, increased activity of the sebaceous glands of the scalp causes frequent combing of the hair, exposure to elevated temperatures, as in the case of hair-drying with a hair dryer or shampooing with hot water. It is recommended to use special shampoos for oily hair and rinsing them with degreasing agents, for example, with an aqueous acetic solution at the rate of 1 liter of water per 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.
It fights well with the problem of oily hair and a therapeutic mask of egg yolk. Mix 1 raw yolk with 1 teaspoon of alcohol and 1 teaspoon of water. Rub this mixture into the skin of a pre-washed head. Leave it on the hair for 10 minutes and then wash it off, not massaging the scalp thoroughly. Egg yolk is able to suppress excessive secretion of sebum, and alcohol defats hair and scalp, making them not so glossy.
You can also use ready-made anti-greasy hair products. This is the Care Line oily scalp lotion from the Keune trademark (the Netherlands), K05 sebaceous gland secretion balance lotion from the KAARAL trademark (Italy), the mask regulating the secretion of the sebaceous glands from the Norgil trademark (France), etc.
How to care for your hair so that they grow faster
Significantly accelerate hair growth - impossible. After all, a certain growth rate of hair is genetically laid in man, an increase in which is beyond the power of world scientists. However, it should be said that due to certain factors hair can slow down in growth. Therefore, to answer the question: “How to make hair grow faster?”, We consider all the factors that adversely affect the ability of hair to grow “in full force”.
The main reason for slowing down healthy hair growth is the lack of optimal conditions for this growth. First of all, it is a lack of essential vitamins in the human body. Vitamins of group B, vitamin A, C and E can, in combination, stimulate hair growth.
Thiamine (vitamin B1 or aneurin) stimulates hair growth, prevents their fragility and loss of natural shine. Thiamin is the richest in plant foods: beans, peas, soybeans, spinach, and wheat bread made from wholemeal flour.
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) helps to improve the blood circulation of the scalp and is generally responsible for the overall healthy appearance of the hair. A clear sign of a deficiency of vitamin B2 in the human body is considered such a pattern when the hair roots quickly become fat and their tips remain dry. Sources of riboflavin (vitamin B2) are liver, yeast, mushrooms, almonds, cottage cheese and other dairy products, broccoli, etc.
Nicotinic acid (vitamin B3, PP or niacin) improves oxygen supply to the hair follicles, stimulating hair growth. Early gray hair is a sign of a lack of nicotinic acid in the human body, since it is she who is responsible for the formation of pigment in the hair. The greatest amount of vitamin B3 is found in beef.
Pantothenic acid (provitamin B5 or D-panthenol) helps to smooth the surface of the hair shaft, forms a protective film thereby protecting the hair from moisture loss when exposed to high temperatures in the hot period of the year and using a hair dryer.
Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) prevents dandruff and dryness, flaking of the scalp, and as a result, itching, burning and other unpleasant sensations. This vitamin is contained in such foods as in buckwheat, wheat cereals and rice, in carrots, bananas, avocados, corn, potatoes, soybeans and in other products.
Biotin (vitamin B7 or vitamin H) gives the hair a healthy shine, and curls of elasticity and elasticity, also prevents hair loss in men. Biotin is found in liver, beans, cauliflower, peanuts, tomato, spinach, boiled egg yolk and wheat bran.
Beta-carotene (vitamin A) reduces the excessive secretion of the secretion of the sebaceous glands, prevents fragility and hair loss. The effect of vitamin A is enhanced when it is taken together with vitamin E, which also has a beneficial effect on the nutrition of the hair follicles. Vitamin A is found in butter, sour cream, fish oil and caviar, and vitamin E in vegetable oil, leafy greens, tomatoes, whole grains, soybeans, etc.
The complex of vitamins and minerals needed to increase hair growth is offered by many modern pharmaceutical firms, for example, Nutrival, Fitoval, Multitabs B-complex + AEvit.
It is important to note that the general health of the human body also affects the health of the hair. Improper diet, stress and alcohol and tobacco use also adversely affect hair growth and their overall condition.
Stimulates hair growth and scalp massage, which helps to increase blood circulation in the skin. This technique is pretty simple in execution. All you need is to massage your scalp for about 5-7 minutes before washing your hair with light circular movements of the fingertips. To enhance the effect and improve the slip, you can lubricate your hands with natural essential oils, such as tea tree oil, rosemary, coriander, cypress, cedar or mint, before massaging. And you can use for this purpose ready-made indelible serum to stimulate hair growth, for example, serum TM "Vielita" of the Vitamin PRO series or burdock serum from TM "Elfa".
The main thing to remember is that after the massage, the scalp produces an excessive amount of greasy fat, so massage with indelible serums is best done at bedtime so that you can wash your hair with shampoo and go to work / school with a fresh hairdo in the morning. In the case of essential oils, the hair can be washed with shampoo immediately after the end of the massage procedure, however trichologists (doctors who are engaged in the diagnosis and treatment of hair) are advised to leave the mask of therapeutic essential oil for about an hour, wrapping the hair with a plastic bag and a towel to create a warming an effect that has a beneficial effect on the ability of hair to absorb the necessary nutrients.
The third barrier that prevents healthy hair growth is improper hair care.If you have dyed or bleached hair, they need special care.
How to care for melirovanny hair
Streaked, colored and dyed hair need to restore and strengthen the structure of the hair. To do this, use balms and masks marked "For melirovannyh hair." In order to maintain the color and shine of the highlighted hair, it is recommended to wash it with a special shampoo for highlighting hair, for example, Lumino Contrast shine shampoo for hair from L’Oreal, Illumi Lights from Schwarzkopf or Lifela Color protection from Wella.
Traditional medicine offers the following recipes for fully or partially colored hair.
Prepare a fruit mask for streaked hair. To do this, mix grapefruit juice and kiwi pulp, add a little honey. The proportions of the ingredients depend on the length of the hair. Spread the mixture over the entire length of the hair and leave it for 15 minutes. Rinse your hair well with warm water. This mask contains fruit acids that strengthen your hair and neutralize alkali residues after hair dyeing.
The mask of beer and egg yolk is able to restore shine and softness to the highlighted hair. Mix 0.5 glass of warm light beer with 1 egg yolk. Apply the resulting liquid to clean hair and scalp. Cover the hair with a plastic bag and a towel for 40 minutes. Rinse your hair under warm water without using shampoo. The smell of beer disappears in a couple of hours, and the hair will become silky to the touch and more shiny in appearance. If you are still afraid that the smell of beer will remain even after a few hours, then it is better to make such a hair mask on a day off, when you can stay at home and devote the day to yourself.
With regard to the basic care for melirovannyh hair, it is identical with the care of ordinary unpainted hair. About the proper care of hair at home, we wrote above.
How to care for hair extensions
Extensive hair requires careful treatment, in order to extend their socks. Recommendations hairdressers for the care of hair extensions present in the form of the following list:
1. Combing the “donor” strands must be a special comb with bristles or with silicone teeth without balls on their tips. Scallops and ordinary “massages” with metal teeth can not be used for combing hair extensions, since such hairbrushes lead to the destruction of capsules that glue native hairs with hair extensions, as well as they contribute to the formation of microcracks in hairs, and as a result lead to hair loss.
It is necessary to start combing the hair from the middle of the hair length, i.e. with their tips, collecting their hand in the tail, and then go to the roots. When combing hair, make sure that the strands in the places of adhesions do not tangle with each other, so it will be harder to unhook them during correction. Also try not to cling to places of adhesions!
2. It is necessary to wash hair extensions without tilting them and not tilting the head forward. Ideal shampooing is standing in the shower or sitting in the bathroom. With regard to the selection of shampoos, then the professionals advise to choose a non-concentrated shampoo for normal hair with a neutral pH balance, as shampoo for oily hair will overdry curtains, and for dry hair - on the contrary will soften, which will lead to combing. And you can buy a special soft shampoo for hair extensions, for example, Keune Hair Extensions from Shampoo.
3. Apply masks, balms and similar hair care products to the hair roots or rub them into the area of adhesions - it is strictly prohibited, as they can destroy the structure of the glue that holds the hairs together with your relatives. All sorts of balms, lotions, etc. funds can be applied only to the ends of the hair, evenly distributed throughout their length.
4. It is not recommended to blow-dry hairs grown in a hot way, but if you still need to quickly dry your hair, then set the hair dryer to a cold-drying mode. In general, whenever possible, minimize the use of a hair dryer, curling iron, ironing and other thermometers, and on hot summer days, do not forget to use thermal protectors for hair.
5. At night, it is desirable to braid the hair in one or two not tight braids to avoid tangling the hair.
How to care for hair after a perm
Any perm, even “gentle” (as one type of curl is called), damages the structure of the hair to one degree or another, so the hair needs special care. It is important to note that the perm overdries the hair, and if you already have dry hair, then you are strictly forbidden to curl using chemical means. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to return a healthy look to hair.
Also remember that on the day of the curl, and better in the next three days, it is not recommended to wash and blow-dry the hair, since after chemical exposure they are very sensitive to the components of the shampoo and hot air, besides chemical processes continue to occur several more days, and who knows what reaction may occur as a result.
To restore the injured areas of hair, after each hair wash, use moisturizing and revitalizing balms and rinses designed for hair after chemical waving. Remember, they need to be applied every time you wash your head, and nourishing masks must be done once a week. In addition, the emphasis should be placed on the tips of the hair, because they usually suffer the most during chemical waving.
For hair styling, use skins, gels, fluids with healing properties and only for curly hair, as fixing agents for straight hair make them heavier and help straighten curls. As a means of laying you can use natural substances, for example, lemon juice, bread kvass or beer, infusion of flaxseed. Deep hair coloring can be done only after 2-3 weeks after curling, otherwise the hair will be heavily damaged.
For combing hair, use non-metallic scallops with a rare arrangement of teeth.
Following these recommendations, your hair will gain a healthy look and will not become a problem in the future after repeated cheaming procedures.
