If, after waking up, the hair tells you with all its appearance that today they will live their own lives, but you still can’t cope with them, it seems that the day hasn’t worked out and everyone understands that something is wrong with your appearance . Single bad days for hair – this is normal, but if your hair gets out of hand all the time, you need to think about whether you are taking care of it properly. There are many products on the market that help maintain the beauty of hair, but how to choose the right one for you?
About the components of proper hair care – shampoos, conditioners and hair masks – Ben Mones, hair stylist, art director and technologist at NIRVEL professional.
Careful choice of funds – an integral part of proper hair care
Neglecting proper hair care can have fatal consequences: the hair begins to stick together, tangle, the scalp becomes oily, dandruff appears, and the hair becomes thinner.
What to do? First of all, you need to accurately determine the condition of your hair – This is the general recommendation of hair care professionals. So you can limit the choice of funds, and this is important, since their range is quite wide, and it is not always possible to clearly determine the nature of the action of each of them.
Shampoo must be suitable for your hair type. Shampoo – it is the basis of hair care. If the hair is prone to oiliness, the shampoo should minimize the production of sebum. Dry hair needs a moisturizing shampoo.
Attention! Even with the right choice of shampoo, there is a possibility of improper shampooing. One of the main mistakes of this ritual is too much shampoo and hot water. The optimal amount of shampoo for short hair is a portion the size of a cent (10 kopecks), and for long hair – with the euro (about 50 kopecks). This is enough to clean the hair of impurities. Rinse your hair with cool water – and the cooler it is, the better.
Balms-conditioners, they are also conditioners, have a more acidic pH, which is useful for dry and brittle hair. The thin cuticle, which envelops the hair in several layers and should ideally be smooth, has the appearance of open scales in dry hair. Thanks to the conditioner, its cracks and irregularities are eliminated. However, many believe that the longer you keep the balm on your hair, the better. This is not the case, because due to the high acid content, the balm can damage the hair, as a result of which the conditioning effect is reduced. Therefore, Ben Mones recommends that his clients wash off the balm in a timely manner so that it does not damage the hair. In this case, you must follow the instructions on the product bottle.
Proper hair care: masks, deep cleaning shampoos, drying and split ends
As for the various hair creams and emulsions, they also need to be washed off, as their residues pull the hair down, weighing it down, as a result of which you can forget about the volume. In some cases, conditioners are ideal for people with oily hair – proper hair care is about giving them what they need.
Proper use of tinted shampoos and conditioners
These hair care products contain pigments that penetrate the hair structure, giving them the appropriate shade. At the same time, the red pigment is the smallest, so without special care it quickly loses its saturation. Products for blonde hair make blonde hair shine and prevent premature darkening.
To prevent damage to the hair, special products should be applied more than once a week, paying special attention to the tips.
Despite the right choice of hair products, the results are often unsatisfactory because a person sometimes uses too many of these products. Here is what Ben Mones himself has to say about it:
"If you use shampoo and conditioner for damaged hair, and use a treatment twice a week, hair foam, and then also apply hairspray on them, do not be surprised that the styling does not last long. There is a way to prevent this problem. So-called deep cleaning shampoos or exfoliating shampoos, on the one hand, perfectly cleanse the hair, but on the other hand, they should be used rarely, because with frequent use they damage the hair structure.
Do not rub your hair vigorously to dry it. In addition to improper hair care products, hair is also damaged by other factors such as improper drying. If you are used to actively rubbing your hair with a towel after washing your hair, unlearn this habit – so you damage the cuticle that envelops the hair. It's best to wrap your hair in a towel and let it soak up the moisture, then use a wide-toothed comb to detangle.
Be aware that the ends of the hair are damaged by chemicals, UV radiation, etc. Despite the fact that masks and intensive hair care products protect the ends from damage to a certain extent, the already split ends cannot be restored, a timely haircut will be the best way out of this situation. Proper hair care – guarantee of their beauty and health.
