Hair care

Long hair, short hair or medium length hair - require daily care. This allows the girl to look luxurious even if she does not have luxurious hair. One trip to the hairdresser is not enough here, home hair care, available to every woman, plays a big role. Hair care is a regular and careful attitude not only to the beauty of hair, but also to their health. After all, luxurious hair is first of all the right care.

Before applying hair care tips, you need to accurately determine your type of curls, of which there are only four :

• normal hair - a healthy natural shine, they are lush, voluminous, do not get dirty very quickly, comb well. Slight dryness of the tips is allowed, which can always be solved with scissors;
• dry hair is dull, thin and grows very slowly. You can wash them once a week, as they slowly get oily at the roots. Active ultraviolet is contraindicated for this type, so special care is needed for dry hair in summer;
• oily hair - oiliness is characteristic, so the curls become greasy at the roots literally the next day after washing. These are not problematic, but absolutely healthy hair with individual physiology. Active production of subcutaneous fat in the head area causes rapid contamination of curls. In winter, you will have to wash your hair literally every day, if you do not use special care cosmetics;
• mixed type - the most common, the main feature of which is dryness (and often brittleness) of the tips and oiliness at the roots. The ends are distinguished by a layered structure, the scales of the hairs are always raised. Such curls need special care all year round.

In addition to the main types, there are additional ones. Trichologists also distinguish artificially bleached, curly, curly, hard, thin damaged, dyed, artificially shaped hair.

Hair types and how to care for them:

Choose the right hair care products. Each of us has different hair, depending on this, special cosmetics are produced for each type of hair: shampoos, balms, and so on. It is important to know what type of hair you have and what cosmetics you buy.

• Normal hair . For this type of hair, there is a line of products that are not overloaded with special components.
• Dyed hair . Keep the color as long as possible - that's the main task of shampoos and conditioners for colored hair. Try to choose products with a pH that is related to the scalp, so that the health of the hair and scalp is maintained for a long time. This all happens thanks to polymers and proteins that smooth the hair scales and protect the hair from the harmful effects of external factors.
• Dry hair . Dry hair should not be treated with oily hair products as this can cause itching and make the hair thin and weak. Shampoos for dry hair have a high concentration of oils, vitamins and active ingredients that retain moisture inside, nourish and moisturize the hair.
• Oily hair . Cosmetics for oily hair contain ingredients that regulate the sebaceous glands, thereby reducing the amount of sebum secreted in the hair.

Proper hair care

In order for the hair to be beautiful and please with density and shine, they need proper care.

Washing is one of the most important steps in hair care. For this, in addition to water, you will need hair care products . First of all, you need to choose the right shampoo that suits your hair type. It is not so difficult to choose it. Sometimes we notice that after washing, the hair seems thin, naughty or dry. In most cases, the culprit is the wrong shampoo. As soon as you change the shampoo to the right one, your hair becomes shiny and voluminous again.

The choice of the type of shampoo depends not only on the individual characteristics of the hair, but also on what kind of water is used for washing. Spring or underground water requires the use of hair care products with a high content of moisturizing ingredients. If you wash your hair with ordinary tap water, then after washing, be sure to apply a balm, conditioner, vitamin mask or any other nourishing hair care product to your hair . The bleach contained in the water not only dries the hair a lot, but also leaches many vitamins out of them, worsening the hair structure. Also, it is worth remembering that you can not wash your hair with very hot water, as high temperature spoils the hair and can cause hair loss. For washing, it is best to use warm water, and rinse with cold. This will add shine and healthy look to your hair.

It is worth abandoning the use of curling irons, hair dryers, thermal curlers and other tools or minimizing their use. After all, the beauty and health of hair is more important than quick drying or daily styling with an iron or curling iron.

Hair care rules:

1. Don't wash your hair on schedule . The head should be washed as it gets dirty, without adhering to clear rules. The fact is that sebum, together with styling products, forms a film on the scalp. It clogs the pores, interfering with the normal circulation of oxygen and blood in the scalp, and this can contribute to thinning and hair loss.
2. Do not forget about balms, masks and oils . After shampoo, be sure to apply a balm and / or mask to your hair. Balms nourish and restore the structure of the hair shaft, strengthen it, making it elastic. Balms-conditioners and conditioners care for and nourish, close the scales of the hair, making it smooth, and facilitate the process of combing. Do not apply conditioner, masks and hair oils to the roots.
3. Watch the water temperature . If you wash your hair with hot or very warm water, this can lead to sad consequences. Such a temperature regime thins the protective lipid layer and activates the sebaceous glands in oily scalp. Accordingly, the hair will get dirty faster. Hot water dries out dry scalp, causing irritation. The ideal temperature for water procedures is body temperature - 36-37 degrees. Rinse your hair with cool water after using the conditioner. Such a contrast shower will smooth the hair cuticle, make the strands more obedient.
4. Do not wrap your hair in a towel or comb it when it is wet . If the hair gets wet, it becomes very brittle. By making careless movements with a comb, you can break the hair, disrupt its growth, or even uproot it. As for the towel turban, which many people love to wrap on their heads after a shower, this is also an undesirable procedure: it disrupts blood circulation and skin respiration and can also contribute to hair brittleness. After washing, it is advisable to squeeze the strands slightly from excess water, then wrap them in a towel for several minutes, and not walk around the apartment with it for half an hour.
5. Stick to a healthy diet . Of course, in order for hair to be beautiful and healthy, you need to pay attention to your diet. Experts recommend adding to the menu: salmon, walnuts, blueberries, sweet potatoes, spinach, lentils, eggs, poultry and lean beef.
