Nothing shows a person’s health more clearly than the condition of their skin and hair. Any malfunction in the body will sooner or later affect the appearance of the hairstyle. But masking the presence of problems is more difficult than preventing their occurrence. In reality, maintaining beauty is not so difficult, but we are prevented bad habits, lack of time and ignorance of some nuances.

Hair care at home should be done daily. Some of its features are determined by the type of curls, but the basic rules are the same for everyone. Unfortunately, few of us, due to our lifestyle, manage to follow all the instructions, but this is worth striving for.

There are medical recommendations regarding the frequency of washing your hair depending on its type, but most women prefer to carry out this procedure without waiting for the moment when their hair becomes unkempt. Daily cleansing activities do not benefit the curls: sebum is washed off every now and then, and the hair is left without protection. But beauty requires sacrifice, and the only thing that can be done here is to reduce the “traumatic” nature of washing.

• Use a shampoo that suits your hair type. It should not contain weighting additives (silicones, parabens), as well as sulfates (especially if you have colored or damaged curls). Avoid universal products and “2 in 1” complexes: they are useless at best, dangerous at worst. Shampoo, no matter how good it is, needs to be changed at least once every six months.
• The water should be soft and warm (up to 50 °C). If your hair is oily, increasing it by a few degrees is acceptable. Too hot water stimulates the sebaceous glands, which means that after the procedure the curls will remain clean for a short time. Rinsing is done exclusively with cool water.
• During the washing process, you do not need to rub or shake your hair too intensely: you can simply tangle it or even damage the cuticle. Apply and distribute the shampoo with gentle movements, massage the skin lightly and carefully.

Combing and drying

• Do not comb wet hair - this will damage its structure.
• Don't wrap your head in a towel after washing; instead, blot your hair a few times and let it dry naturally. Of course, the temptation to use a hairdryer every time is very great, but remember that hot air has a destructive effect on the hair shaft.
• Don't go to bed with wet hair.
• Get a wide-toothed wooden comb. Plastic and metal ones provoke electrification of hair. In general, the best option is a massage brush made of natural bristles, but in recent years models made of special plastic have appeared that allow you to comb even wet hair without damaging it.
• You need to start combing from the ends, and only then move on to the roots. It's important to take your time. You should comb your curls no more than 4 times a day. Passion for this ritual and excessive haste lead to hair being damaged or pulled out.
• If the strands are tangled and stiff after washing, you should spray them with leave-in conditioner or lubricate them with a special light cream before combing.

Styling and protection

Styling with a hair dryer, curling iron or flat iron requires pre-application heat protectant. Hard plastic, wooden and even silicone curlers should be replaced with foam rubber ones. Clips and pins are only suitable for healthy, elastic hair, and leave kinks on damaged and thin hair. It's safer to use soft, wide elastic bands and avoid hairstyles that are too tight.

As for styling products, if they contain alcohol, they dry out your hair. This is even advisable if you have oily ones, but even in this case you need to know when to stop. If the strands are damaged or dyed, special attention should be paid to the composition of the styling foam or mousse. The weaker the hair, the more delicate the modeling composition should be, and vice versa: it’s not for nothing that the industry produces varnishes varying degrees fixation.

Choose a product based on the type and condition of your curls: for some, an airy mousse is enough, while others cannot do without a heavy gel. But, be that as it may, do not overdo it with the quantity and do styling only when it is really necessary. Give your hair a chance to rest, and before going to bed, be sure to wash off or comb out all the “chemicals” from it: the scalp should breathe, and the sebaceous glands work especially intensively at night, and there is no need to interfere with them.

Features of care at different times of the year

In winter, to protect your curls from the cold, you need to wear a hat, despite the fact that under it they wrinkle and quickly get dirty. In winter, the air is dry (and indoors is also hot), causing the hair to lose moisture and become electrified. The solution may be to purchase an air humidifier (it will also be useful for the skin). But there are also less radical measures - in particular, the use of thermal protective sprays, mild moisturizing shampoos and balms, and special masks. In addition, you need to drink at least two liters of water daily.

Cold air constricts blood vessels in the scalp, causing the hair to be poorly supplied with nutrients. Therefore, doctors recommend periodically doing a light massage in winter to help improve blood circulation.

Spring is a time of unstable weather, winds and high humidity. But the main problem of this season is vitamin deficiency, which is easiest to combat by taking special complexes.

In summer, hair is exposed to UV rays, fades, becomes dry and brittle. Frequent bathing causes hair strands to lose their softness and become dull. In this case, again, drinking plenty of fluids and special protective equipment will help.

When visiting a bathhouse or sauna, wear a felt cap, and in the pool do not neglect a cap.

Normal hair

Owners of this type of curls are definitely lucky. They do not need to carry out any special procedures beyond those listed above. The main thing is to maintain the health of the strands by proper nutrition, supply them with vitamins. It is important to choose good shampoo and an air conditioner for it. You can make masks: moisturizing, for shine and silkiness, but not necessarily in courses. It is enough to carry out such procedures every 2 weeks.

Normal hair should not be washed too often, otherwise the sebaceous glands will begin to work more intensely than necessary.

Hair masks of this type are made based on vegetable oil(for example, almond or burdock) with the addition of honey, cognac, aloe. Sometimes colorless henna compresses are used for preventive purposes.

In general, hair care is not too burdensome if the hair is normal. All you have to do is keep them that way.

Greasy hair

Accept that you will have to wash them often. But still, not twice a day, otherwise you are guaranteed a vicious circle: you will wash off the skin secretion every time, and the glands will begin to produce it at an accelerated rate in order to protect the hair. To remedy the situation, avoid fatty foods and flour products, eat vegetables and fruits and drink as much water as possible (including mineralized water). Buy only hair cosmetics that are suitable for daily use. It is acceptable to occasionally use dry shampoo.

Increased greasiness is often accompanied by the formation of dandruff and seborrhea. To make oily hair look fresh and stay clean longer, you need to use masks based on kefir, blue or white clay, mustard, aloe and lemon juice, and salt. You can add base oils to them, but only relatively light ones - for example, coconut or grape seed. They go well with essential oils - rosemary, juniper, lemon. Masks are applied mainly to the scalp, especially if the hair is of mixed type. Dry ends can be lubricated with special nourishing serums or fluids. Mixed-type curls urgently need protection from the sun; they need to be trimmed every few weeks.

Oily strands are rinsed with lemon or vinegar water, fresh (this is important!) decoctions of mint, horsetail, nettle, yarrow, calendula and oak bark. The listed herbs help narrow pores and inhibit the activity of the glands that produce skin secretions. Decoctions must be chilled.

Dry or damaged hair, split ends

Most often, curls become dry after bleaching, dyeing, chemicals, or as a result of regular heat exposure. They cannot boast of strength and volume, they tear easily, split ends, and fall out. Dry scalp causes itching and dandruff, which is a serious cosmetic problem. Hair must first be saturated with moisture and protected from loss. Stimulation of the sebaceous glands also helps: in order for them to produce fat that envelops and protects the hair shaft, the scalp must be massaged daily.

• Dry hair is sensitive to various types of chemicals; you need to wash it with soft, cool water and natural shampoo, without aggressive additives (sulfates, parabens). It’s good if care products contain lanolin, lecithin, proteins, and artificial keratin. These substances help curls become more elastic, stronger and shiny. In general, dry hair is washed easily, so purchasing funds You can refuse and use beaten egg yolk, yogurt or whey with the addition of rye bread instead of shampoos.
• Rinse dry hair with a decoction of nettle or chamomile, but you can replace them with an aspirin solution (at the rate of 2 tablets per 1 liter of warm water). This product fights dandruff and provides curls with a beautiful natural shine.
• Hair masks are prepared based on fatty oils: castor, burdock, peach, olive. They add honey, aloe extract, egg yolks, sour cream or cream, garlic and onions. It is useful to supplement these compositions with a few drops of essential oils: for example, geranium or lavender. Masks are made weekly, in courses. They are applied to the hair along the entire length and kept, as a rule, for at least an hour under a towel or hood.
• Those with dry hair should be especially careful with styling products. It is better not to wear tight elastic bands, hairpins and metal hairpins.
• Split ends should be trimmed regularly (at least once a month, if possible every two weeks) with hot scissors. It is not possible to cure them, but they successfully camouflage (stick together) by special means, which can be found in any cosmetics store. Some women, however, apply castor oil to their ends, claiming that it acts in a similar way.

Grey hair

In terms of their properties, they are close to dry, so you need to care for them in much the same way. In addition, you need to replenish your arsenal with shampoo that gives a noble shade to gray hair. It is important to protect your hair from cigarette smoke and smog. .

Shampoos and masks

About shampoos and masks in detail. To prevent your hair from getting used to a particular product and getting worse after replacing it, you should alternate these products every time you wash your hair. It is advisable to purchase at least two different shampoos and a mask with conditioner.

It is best to choose one industrial shampoo, that is, any suitable one from the store, and one natural one, which you will most likely have to look for. Do the same with the mask; have one natural one in your arsenal.

You can also use interesting folk recipes for masks from the Internet. If you don’t have time for this, you can buy a ready-made one.

Head peeling

It is very important to exfoliate your scalp periodically. As a scrubbing agent, you can use finely ground or coarse sea salt, but then you need to grind it yourself. Clay is also added to the salt if desired, essential oils or regular air conditioner.

This procedure is useful not only because it improves blood circulation in the scalp, thereby accelerating hair growth, but also because it removes the remnants of oils, masks and other products, thereby allowing the pores to breathe and the hair to stay clean longer.

The prepared product is applied to damp skin, left for a few minutes, and then washed with shampoo. Next, all the procedures that are usually done when washing your hair are performed, that is, a balm or mask is used.

Important! There is no need to immediately panic and criticize the peeling if after the procedure a little more hair falls out than usual. This is a completely normal phenomenon after peeling.

Decoctions of medicinal and beneficial herbs

Sometimes you need to rinse your hair with decoctions of various beneficial herbs; there will definitely be no harm. You can collect herbs yourself, for example, chamomile, linden, burdock, nettle and others. If necessary, any herbs are sold at the pharmacy.

Pour boiling water over two purchased bags or two large bunches of the desired herb, then let it brew for 15 minutes. When the broth has cooled, rinse your hair with it after washing.

If your hair quickly becomes greasy just a few hours after washing, then most likely the product was chosen incorrectly. In this case, you should not buy shampoo with a high protein content. It is better to turn your attention to products based on herbs, for example, chamomile, nettle, etc. Dry and brittle hair, on the contrary, requires more nutrients and softening substances.

Drying
