8 Secrets of Healthy Hair
Psychologists have long determined that hair loss and deterioration (brittleness, dull color) cause a person to associate directly with a loss of attractiveness, which leads to stress and depression. To avoid this, we try to wash our hair with the “right” shampoo, “feed” our hair with various balms and masks and spend fabulous amounts on salon procedures.
Rule 1: choose the right shampoo Shampoo is, first of all, a detergent, it will not make the hair soft and silky (contrary to all the statements of the manufacturers). Its active ingredients can protect the hair from the harmful effects of chlorinated water, but the main purpose of the shampoo is to wash away the dirt and grease accumulated during the day from the hair. Rule 2: balm or conditioner required Balm contains fats and oils in a higher concentration than conditioner. That is why the balm is more suitable for dry, damaged hair, and conditioner for oily, ”says Evgenia Babich, trichologist at IHC (Israeli Hair Clinic). Unlike shampoo, these funds must be chosen not only depending on the scalp, but also on problems associated with hair. Rule 3: nourish and moisturize your hair Just as we need food and water, our hair also needs nutrition and hydration for a normal life. In this they are helped by intensive hair restoration products. Rule 4: handle wet hair with care Water makes the hair heavier, it can break or fall out with the root under the pressure of a towel or comb. “Immediately after washing, do not comb and do not squeeze the hair. Pat them lightly with a towel and wrap them in a turban. The towel absorbs excess fluid. Then let your hair loose, let it dry on its own, ”says Marusya Kirpa, hair stylist at Cut and Color.

Stylers, irons, curling irons, hair dryers are terrible weapons that seem to have been specially invented to combat the beauty and health of hair. They suck all moisture out of the hair, leaving it to dry and wither. Nevertheless, we cannot afford to refuse styling products . Rule 6: choose the right comb Metal combs openly tear hair, so it’s better to get rid of it. Plastic, wooden - combs should be with rounded teeth. Rule 7: healthy eating Strict diets, snacks instead of dinners - as a result, our body does not replenish the reserves of vitamins and minerals, so necessary for healthy and beautiful hair. The diet for beautiful curls should include as much protein food of animal origin as possible. Zinc plays an important role for hair, it participates in the process of protein formation, of which hair consists of 60%. Rule 8: Watch Your Health! Sometimes hair loss or a sharp deterioration in the condition of the hair may indicate the presence of any diseases ( problems with the gastrointestinal tract, thyroid gland, hormonal malfunctions or diseases of the genital organs, stress, diabetes). The fact is that hair is nourished last, so problems with it are a clear reason to contact a trichologist. |
