Absolutely all people dream of having strong, healthy and beautiful hair. Each of us strives to make his hairstyle look stylish, and his hair – well-groomed. But not many people know how to properly care for their curls.
33 tips for proper hair care
Tip 1: Dull or brittle hair
If your hair has lost its shine or your hair breaks easily, then your body may be deficient in vitamin A. Our body needs this vitamin to strengthen the structure of the skin and hair, and their good functioning. Good suppliers of vitamin A: liver, egg yolk, milk, cheese, butter. Beta-carotene, which your body extracts from vitamin A through fat, is found in carrots, broccoli, spinach, lettuce, cabbage, red peppers, beets, dill, apricots.
Tip 2: Preserve brittle hair
In brittle hair is a risk to keep it – they hang limply. Agents with positively charged polymers - such as oat or wheat proteins - target negatively charged weak spots in the hair and close small holes in the hair shaft. Thanks to this magnetic effect, the hair will receive help only where it needs it.
Tip 3: Basic hair strengthening
For weak and permanently brittle hair, regular scalp massage is recommended. With your fingertips, you stimulate blood circulation and activate the sebaceous glands, which ensures the maintenance of healthy hair and good hair growth. Special lotions for the scalp will make this process even more effective.
Tip 4: Take good care of dry hair
If the hair is so dry that it feels like straw, it is contraindicated for additional stress drying with a hot hair dryer. It is recommended to dry such hair only with a warm stream of air or use a special hair dryer with an infrared sensor.
Tip 5: Gentle Shampoo
Wet hair is very vulnerable, as the keratin scales on the surface of the hair are open like pine cones. By injecting a spoonful of conditioner before washing your hair, you will make the shampoo less leached and save your hair from damage.
Tip 6: Shine for curly hair
Curly hair tends to be dimmer than straight hair because light reflects unevenly on it. Strengthening treatments and the use of conditioners bring energy and shine to such hair.
Tip 7: massage for dandruff
Oil massage will improve the condition of the scalp, since vegetable oils contain a large amount of vitamin E, and it is useful to rub them into the skin. Special anti-dandruff products, such as shampoos, lotions or creams, are recommended to be applied to the scalp, while skin cell renewal slows down and there is a calming effect. If there is no improvement within 2-6 weeks, a doctor should be consulted.
Tip 8: Hair volume
You will get more volume when styling your hair if you blow-dry it, shaping it with your hands, and only at the end of drying use a brush to style the ends inside.
Tip 9: hair and nutrition
Strong, healthy hair grows only on a healthy scalp. This requires, above all, vitamins and minerals. Hair roots can only be healthy and strong with a balanced diet (rich in vitamin C, biotin, zinc, iron and folic acid), then they become strong and the hair is quickly restored. Sources of the most needed, vital substances for hair are fruits, fish, poultry, green leafy vegetables, milk, soy and whole grains.
Tip 10: Hair Conditioner
It's a mistake to assume that the longer you leave the conditioner on your hair while rinsing it, the better the care effect you will get. Enhancers from conditioners add shine and make hair easier to comb – but they do not penetrate the hair, but only envelop it. Therefore, the exposure time of the conditioner on the hair is up to 1 minute – this is enough.
Tip 11: For oily hair
The hair is washed with a mild shampoo or baby shampoo as often as needed. When washing your hair, try not to massage your scalp too much, as this stimulates excessive sebum production. Between the use of detergents, you can degrease your hair by wrapping a comb with gauze or a cotton layer, and comb your hair in this way. You can also blot your scalp with a tissue soaked in a facial toner designed for oily skin.
Tip 12: Cleaning the right way
Before washing your hair, it is advisable to brush it well, especially if a lot of styling products, such as gel or spray, have been used to shape the hairstyle. Most of these products are easily removed from the hair with special brushes and brushes. With regular hair washing, there is usually no need to reapply detergents, unless, of course, the hair has been styled with a lot of wax. A normal amount of shampoo is enough. Huge mountains of foam do not improve the effectiveness of hair cleansing. It is very important to rinse your hair properly: do it thoroughly and not with too hot water, because the higher the temperature of the water, the more stress on the hair.
Tip 13: Shine and soft hair
Long hair usually requires special attention, and for them you can offer treatment with olive oil, which will give it shine, make it smooth. After washing, warm olive oil should be applied to still damp hair, distributing it along the entire length and especially thoroughly lubricating the tips with it. Leave the oil on your hair for at least half an hour. You can enhance the warm effect of the oil by wrapping the strands with aluminum foil, then the effect of hair care will be much stronger. Try not to wash off the oil until your hair no longer looks greasy. An intense hair mask that works very well can be made by mixing warm oil with egg yolk, a little liquid honey and lemon juice, and then beat the mixture well.
Tip 14: How to choose the right brush
It is very important for hair health to have intact combs and brushes. Test: run a brush or comb along the back of your hand – the comb should not leave scratches. Rub it, the hair should not be attracted to it. The bristles of the brush should be soft and round or have round tips. When combing, the tips of the comb should always touch the scalp with round, not sharp edges. There should be no pressure on the brush when combing. Important: brushes and combs should be washed regularly with shampoo and hot water to remove microorganisms.
Tip 15: More Styling Stability
Despite painstaking efforts in drying the hair, the voluminous hairstyle is quickly destroyed. But there is a trick that helps to give the hair more stability. We dry the hair, and then comb it with applying a certain amount of mousse in several approaches. Separate the upper part and start styling from the bottom layer of hair. We work with two round brushes: one of them is always left in the hair to cool, while the next strand is styled and dried with the other brush.
Tip 16: Styling your hair without washing
With the help of special lotions - the so-called fresheners – you can restore perfect shape to tired curls or dull strands. True, it works for a short time. Spray freshener on dry hair – strand by strand, blow-dry each strand, allowing it to cool a little on the hand.
Tip 17: Hair and Static
Dry indoor air, especially where synthetic carpeting is present, or when rubbing a comb against hair, for example, can generate an electrostatic charge. In this case, the hair repels each other and takes off. If you use combs made of natural wood or horn material, then this effect can be avoided. Flying hair can be brought under control with a little hairspray. Just spray some polish on the palm of your hand and run it through your hair.
Tip 18: For split ends
These hairs stay on the comb more often, look thinner and thinner towards the ends, and often have split ends. Since the ends of the hair are more affected, they need extra help. Care tip for this type of hair is either intensive vegetable oil treatments or sealing split ends to prevent further splitting.
Tip 19: For dry and fine hair
If your hair is dry and thin, it is recommended to try products with oat or wheat proteins to care for them. The particles contained in the grains form a protective film around each hair and strengthen it. Wheat germ oil is very useful – its fatty acids nourish the hair without weighing it down.
Tip 20: Hair bounce
Fruit Ingredients – pulp of pineapple, banana and peach – if used when washing the hair, they will add shine to the hair and add elasticity to it, give stability to the hair structure. The secret of this action is that the fruit components stimulate the formation of keratin – main structural component of hair. Fructose is considered a source of energy to enhance cellular functions, while citric acid strengthens hair fibers.
Tip 21: Intensive nutrition for dry hair
Treat your hair. Soft avocado pulp, 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil and a little lemon juice, beat with a fork until creamy. Spread the mass over wet hair, cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Rinse your hair thoroughly after 15 minutes. It will be easier and faster to use ready-made hair products based on avocado or sunflower oil.
Tip 22: Silky hair
As a hair cleanser, make a cocktail containing, for example, borage, almond and camellia oils. This will give your hair a festive shine.
Tip 23: Keep Moisture
Healthy hair contains about 10% of moisture inside, but quickly loses it with damaged hair shafts. Ideal for moisturizing products containing seaweed and sea minerals.
Tip 24: bouncy hair
The secret of Asian women with black, bright, lush hair lies in the use of flint bamboo shoots. They not only consume them for food and hair care, but also, for example, use bamboo extract in hair styling products. Bamboo shoots help retain moisture and add bounce, making hair shiny and much stronger.
Tip 25: Shiny Hair
The kernel oils found in peaches and apricots are especially good at supporting hair without being greasy. Since these oils are rich in vitamin E, they act as a natural sunscreen and protect the hair from fading. The pulp of these fruits contains fruit acids that tighten each hair. At the same time, the scales of each hair are compacted and intensely reflect light.
Tip 26: intense hair color
Shampoos with chamomile, henna or walnut shell extract contain vegetable dyes that penetrate the hair shaft, while tannins help smooth the cuticle. Plant components allow you to better show the natural pigments inside the hair. Chamomile is good to intensify blonde hair color, henna will give a reddish tint, and walnut extract will activate your own hair color.
Tip 27: Nuts are hydrating
Foods that contain concentrated brazil nuts, almonds or coconut fatty acids penetrate especially deep into the hair. So they can solve the problem of even very dry hair.
Tip 28: Egg hair treatment
Beat 2 eggs with warm water in a cup. Rub the mixture into wet hair and wash off after 5-10 minutes with cool water. Caution: Do not wash with hot water, otherwise the eggs may curl and cannot be removed from the hair.
Tip 29: Egg and Shampoo Treatment
The egg is mixed with regular shampoo, which further strengthens the hair. In this way, you can easily and quickly use products that contain egg as an active ingredient.
Tip 30: For hair density
