How to care for your hair

In principle, hair care is not a complicated science, but it is labor-intensive. To make your hair beautiful and delight you both in appearance and in the condition of the roots, you should follow these rules:

Comb your hair correctly. The fact is that everyone’s hair structure is different, therefore, they need to be combed with the right comb. It should be made primarily of natural material and not have a strong odor. Remember, it is better to pay a round sum once for a care product than to pay several times more to the doctor for treatment later. Whatever comb you choose for yourself, its teeth should be smooth so as not to cause harm to the scalp.
You need to wash your hair correctly. Before starting the procedure, comb your hair thoroughly. They should be washed with lukewarm water, as hot water dries them out. They are rinsed with water at room temperature. This will help relieve hair from electrification and brittleness. It would be more correct to apply the shampoo to the back of the head and from there wash it over the entire head.
Dry your hair carefully. Try not to use a hair dryer, straightener or other styling products. Let your hair dry naturally. If you don’t have the opportunity to wait for your hair to dry on its own, use thermal protection. This will help protect them from damage.

Hair must be protected from any damage. The benefits of frequent brushing are one of the deepest misconceptions. Mechanical damage to hair most often occurs due to frequent combing. The combs should have soft ends, and the teeth of the combs should be sparse. Hair should be combed two to three times a day. Not more often. A good hairstyle is only good when it can be “fixed” with your fingers. Even if you just took off your hat or scarf.

You can use shampoos, but not more than once a week. If your hair does not keep clean for seven days, you can wash off the dirt with the help of cereals. Steam any cereal crops with hot water and rub this mixture into your scalp and hair. While rubbing, massage your scalp with your fingertips. After a few minutes, rinse your hair.

Do not blow dry your hair. Its hot air deprives hair of moisture. Hair that is over-dried with a hairdryer permanently loses its natural shine. However, this loss does not apply to growing hair. Therefore, if you decide to abandon the hair dryer and restore the silver shade of your hair, you will just have to wait. After all, hair grows quite quickly.

After washing, the hair should be blotted with a scarf made of natural silk. They will be more shiny and voluminous if, when curling your hair with curlers, you wrap the ends of each strand with a thin short silk ribbon.

Hairspray causes irreparable damage to your hair. Especially thin, damaged, painted and weakened. Any, even strong varnishes can be easily replaced with preparations made from natural products. You can prepare them at home yourself.

For example, lemon juice. Squeeze lemon juice and apply it to dry or damp hair before styling. It will give your hair the desired stiffness and perfectly fix even the most complex hairstyle.

You can use foam from wood shavings. Pour hot water over a handful of any wood shavings. Leave for 10-12 hours. Then collect the viscous, slightly sticky film that forms on the surface into a jar. This is wood varnish, the favorite product of all oriental hairdressers.

It does not damage the hair, but, on the contrary, protects it from unfavorable mechanical influence. Wood foam makes hair thicker and tougher. You can use wood varnish without restrictions, even daily, before styling your hair. It is better to apply this hairspray to your hair with a soft bristle brush. This varnish can be stored in the refrigerator for more than a week.

Gelatin hairspray is great for curly and coarse hair. Dissolve one and a half tablespoons of gelatin in 300 grams of boiling water. When the broth has cooled, rinse your hair with it and dry your hair with soft blotting movements. Now your hair will remain tangle-free and soft until the next wash.

Our ancient ancestors considered peas a symbol of fertility and wealth. It was common in China back in the Stone Age. The ancient Romans made face and hair masks from green peas crushed into flour.

Give it a try. Pour warm water over the pea flour prepared using a coffee grinder. Let sit overnight. Then apply the paste to your hair and leave this mask for thirty minutes. The pea mixture will remove all the dirt and oil from your hair, and after rinsing the mask , you won't have to use shampoo.

How and what to wash your hair with

To wash your hair, you should use only high-quality products. There is an opinion that by abusing frequent hair washing, a person violates its natural protection, simply washing it off. This causes the hair to dry quickly and become brittle. Experts recommend washing your hair no more than once every two days for problem hair and once every four days for normal hair.

To maintain a healthy appearance of your hair and not spoil its structure, it is best to use sulfate-free shampoos for washing your hair, made from natural products without additives or dyes. Shampoo should be selected according to your existing hair type.

In addition to shampoos, it would be good to use hair conditioner or balm after each use. Hair mask, several times a week. You should choose these products according to the same principle as shampoo.

Washing your hair is hard work. And it’s even harder to comb them afterwards. Especially if they are long. To avoid difficulties in this matter, there are special hair sprays and oils. They do not weigh them down and help you comb your hair without any problems. Thanks to these products you will not tear your hair or cause split ends.

The secret of beautiful hair

Beautiful hair is a woman’s calling card. And only healthy hair can be beautiful - thick, elastic, shiny, well-regenerated. What is their secret?

Hair is an indicator of the general physical and mental state of its owner. A constant nervous state and fatigue will definitely affect the condition of the hair, most likely causing hair loss. Therefore, the first piece of advice: if you want to have good hair, learn to relax and deal with stress. Special relaxation exercises and daily intake of valerian (or other calming herbs) will help here. Many diseases and strict diets can lead to deterioration in hair condition and appearance. Therefore, if something is wrong with your hair, be sure to go to a therapist, get tested and check the general condition of your body. Hair can show which organ is wrong. Dry hair (and scalp) may indicate kidney disease, while oily hair may indicate liver disease. Hair loss can be associated with diseases of the endocrine system, liver or cholecystitis, early gray hair can be associated with diseases of the thyroid gland. If necessary, start treatment, try to switch to a balanced, nutritious diet, because this also affects the hair.

If the condition of your hair simply resembles a catastrophe: too active hair loss, changes in structure, then you should see a trichologist; behind this terrible word is a hair treatment specialist. If there are no serious diseases, but you want your hair to look better, you need to pay attention to the question: how do we treat one of the main feminine values and do we take care of them every day. You need to start by selecting a multivitamin complex (it is good to take vitamin A in oil on black bread for one month a year, fish oil). In the autumn season, it is imperative to protect your hair from rain. The times when rainwater was a woman's best friend are long gone. Therefore, if your outerwear does not have a hood, be sure to carry an umbrella or a thick scarf with you. And if you do get caught in the rain with your head uncovered, be sure to wash your hair as soon as you get home. In winter, both hypothermia (if you walk without a hat) and overheating (especially if you, trying to hide a bad hairstyle, do not take off your hat when entering some institution from the street) are equally bad, so try to choose a hat according to the weather and be sure to shoot it indoors. Wash your hair properly. First, you need to choose a shampoo based on your hair type (oily, dry, normal, combination). Moreover, if you have a combination hair type (oily at the roots, dry along the length), you need to use shampoo for oily hair. The water for washing should not be very hot (no more than 50 degrees), and for oily hair it is better to use water at room temperature. Of course, it is best to use boiled or filtered water, but to implement this will take much more time than usual, however, the result is worth it. Before washing, you should comb your hair well, improving blood circulation in the head and removing dead skin residues and some of the dirt (remnants of styling products). The shampoo should be applied to the palm of your hand, diluted slightly with water, whipped into foam and only then applied to wet hair, massage the scalp and rinse well until the hair squeaks. The squeaking of hair is, by the way, an indicator of how well the shampoo is chosen. After washing, apply conditioner or balm to the entire length of your hair and rinse your hair with cool water (which your hands perceive as warm). Or instead of balm, use natural rinses - decoctions of nettle, sage, burdock root, hop cones, mint, calendula, chamomile. You need to dry your hair by patting it with a well-absorbing towel and never rub it. Wet hair should be combed with extreme care, as it is very fragile. Long hair (and not just wet hair) should be combed from the ends, holding each strand, then combed from the middle, and finally from the roots. I comb my short hair from the roots. To comb your hair, it is better to use a brush with natural bristles; in case of increased hair loss, use a sparse comb; in any case, you need to make sure that the comb does not damage the hair and scalp. Hair is washed as needed, and daily washing is not always the best for hair health, because it dries it out. But the frequency of washing is a very individual thing, so everyone chooses it for themselves. We can only advise once a week, for example, to replace washing with shampoo by washing with Borodino bread steamed with warm water or an egg yolk.

But what is definitely not recommended to do is dry your hair every day with a hairdryer. If frequent hot drying cannot be avoided, choose a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner with silicones and moisturizing agents and dry on the minimum setting, without staying long in one area. Pay attention to daily combing your hair and massaging your scalp, especially in the evening before bed, because the procedure not only improves blood circulation and enhances hair growth, but also promotes calm and relaxation. Try not to pull your hair into ponytails all the time, especially high ones, as this will cause breakage. Considering the fashion trend of ribbons and headbands, we can give our hair a break not only at home, but also at work, by picking it up without disturbing the direction of hair growth. Periodically use restorative hair masks. You can, of course, use ready-made masks, which are positioned as being made from natural products. But, considering the number of chemical transformations that occur with these products, while cute packages fall into our hands, it is worth paying attention to folk remedies that we can actually use in their natural form. After all, who can know for sure that any of the chemical components of the mask will suit you? Folk remedies have been tested for centuries. As a preventive measure, mix 50 ml of vodka and one teaspoon of lemon juice and rub into the scalp every other day for 2 weeks. Before washing, you can make a mask from one yolk and a tablespoon of castor (almond, burdock) oil, you can add a teaspoon of honey, apply it to your hair while warm, wrap your hair in plastic, cover it with an old terry towel and leave the mask for at least an hour (or better yet, longer). Recipe for a quicker mask: beat one tablespoon of cognac and one yolk into foam and apply to hair for an hour. To make your hair beautiful, thick and shiny you just need a little work, patience and... a few secrets revealed.
