How to maintain healthy hair

To take good care of your hair health, you don’t have to spend money on sky-high price shampoos or stock up on celebrity hair essences. The core is to first understand your own scalp and hair properties, and get the basics of daily care, work and rest, and external protection right. It’s more effective than any flashy theater program.

I met a little girl in 1998 who had oily scalp and itchy scalp all the time. She saved up 3,000 yuan to get a scalp treatment card. After each treatment, she was really refreshed and could last for two days. However, within two weeks, her dandruff appeared more and red bumps appeared from time to time. After going to the dermatologist, she found out that the soap base content of the scalp cleansing product she chose exceeded the standard. Repeated tossing and tossing destroyed the barrier of the scalp cuticle, and the condition got worse.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the most controversial issue of hair washing frequency. People with dry skin say that washing every day will make their hair dryer and the ends of their hair will become brittle and brittle. People with oily skin say that if they don’t wash their hair for two days, their scalp will become oily and it will easily clog the pores and cause hair loss. In fact, there is really no one-size-fits-all standard. If you stay in In the hot summer days in the South, you will break out in sweat after just two steps outside. The sebaceous glands are active, so it is perfectly fine to wash it every day. Just choose a mild amino acid surfactant shampoo. If you have dry hair and stay in the autumn and winter heating season in the north, washing it once every two or three days is perfectly fine. You don’t have to stick to other people’s schedules.

I've been in the trap of blow-drying my hair before. In order to save time, I always turned on the hottest wind and blew it close to my scalp. Within a month, the ends of my hair were as dry as dry grass, and the split ends at the ends became longer and longer. After checking the information, I changed my habit. Before blow-drying, apply a layer of hair care essential oil to the ends of your hair, which is like creating an insulating layer. Blow it with warm air until it is 80% dry, then switch to cold air to blow the hair roots to set the shape. Just brush the ends of your hair twice and the texture of your hair ends will return a lot in less than a month.

There has been controversy for many years about whether silicone oil can be used. In fact, there is really no need to talk about silicone discoloration. The silicone oil added in compliance with regulations will only adhere to the hair cuticles to fill the gaps and will not block the pores of the scalp. If you have dry and damaged hair that has been permed and dyed, using silicone oil-containing shampoo can make your hair smoother. If you have thin and flat hair that is particularly prone to oiliness, choose silicone-free ones for a more refreshing feel. Just choose according to your needs.

Don’t think it’s enough to only focus on your hair. Last year, I stayed up late for 20 consecutive days while working on a project. During that time, I washed a handful of my hair, and my hairline became a lot wider. I even applied half a bottle of celebrity hair lotion but it didn’t show any improvement. Later, I forced myself to go to bed before 12 o’clock every day. I usually eat more whole grains and high-quality protein, and don’t pull my hair all the time or tie it into a tight high ponytail. After two months, my hair loss was reduced by two-thirds. This effect is really better than any other skin care products.

Don’t just apply sunscreen to your face when you go out in the summer. Your scalp will age if you get too much sun and your hair will become brittle and easy to break. Just wear a cap or a parasol. It’s much more cost-effective than a scalp sunscreen serum worth a few hundred dollars.

Anyway, maintaining hair is really a slow process. Don’t think that if you do a hair care today, you will have silky hair tomorrow. Do these little things right, and if you touch your hair for two months, you can feel the obvious changes.
