They split, fall out, break. In many cases, you have to turn to trichologists to determine the cause of the poor condition of the hair. The big mistake is that many do not even try to take care of themselves at home. How to keep beauty? Let's start in order.

Favorite recipes for gorgeous hair

In addition to strengthening and wellness procedures, it is necessary to monitor nutrition, which should be varied. Eat foods rich in proteins, such as meat, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, greens, oatmeal and buckwheat, eggs.

Dryness and brittle hair is the main cause of concern for many women. May occur due to malnutrition or external influences: frequent washing, improperly selected products, use of a hair dryer and ironing, hair dyeing. It is worth paying special attention to the care of dry hair at home.

For starters, stop washing your hair too often. This is due to the fact that the shampoo washes out special oils from the scalp, which are responsible for moisturizing the hair. Washing agents also activate the sebaceous glands, which leads to their rapid contamination.

Wash your hair with a special shampoo that is only suitable for dry hair. It contains special substances that contain acids that are responsible for retaining moisture in the hair and scalp. Wash your hair gently and gently so as not to further damage the already fragile hair.

Choosing hair care products

Hair, like all organs of the human body, suffer from various diseases. Often, trichologists prescribe medications necessary for hair health. But in many cases, beauty and health can be maintained with proper care. Let us consider in more detail the basic rules of care at home.

Cleansing hair from impurities with the help of specially selected products. Particular attention when choosing a shampoo and balm should be given to the type of scalp and hair. It is unacceptable to use products for oily hair with dry hair, as this will lead to disastrous consequences.
Providing moisture and nutrition to the hairline.
Protection from the adverse effects of the external environment.

Use not only shampoos, balms and rinses, but also apply essential and vegetable oils, and periodically make homemade hair masks.

Pay attention to the selection of combs for hair. After all, complex care also includes proper combing. It is believed that the best material for combs is horn and wood. The edges must be processed, without sharp teeth, so as not to injure the scalp.

Caring for dyed hair

Colored and highlighted hair is the most prone to damage. They often split, break, fall out. How to care for highlighted and dyed hair?

First, use ammonia-free hair dye.
Secondly, after staining, try not to use irons and curling irons for several days. High temperatures damage hair.
Thirdly, it is better not to comb wet dyed hair: it breaks very easily.

A mask of egg yolks helps in recovery after staining. Mix two egg yolks with olive oil and apply this mixture to your hair. Leave on for 30 minutes and rinse with warm water. This mask will strengthen and restore the hair structure.

The weather also affects the condition of the hair. Cold and wind dry them out. Therefore, it is doubly necessary to take care of your hair in winter. Be sure to wear a hat, because the hair follicles are cooled in 5 minutes in cold weather. They become brittle and the hair begins to fall out. In winter, take vitamins, this will improve the condition of not only the whole body, but also the hairline. Use nourishing hair balms.

In general, the condition of the hair depends entirely on your health. Take care of yourself, exercise, drink vitamins. Healthy hair grows in a healthy person.

Hair like Rapunzel? Easy!

Long and strong hair. Many of us have dreamed of this all our lives. Someone was lucky to have a beautiful head of hair since childhood, and some have thin, lifeless hair throughout their lives. You can go to beauty salons and pay big money for their services, you can buy hair care products in specialized stores, or you can put your hair in order at home.

To begin with, consider a few simple rules for any type and condition of hair:

Do not wash your hair with very hot water, it breaks their structure;
Wash with a shampoo suitable for your hair, preferably in three steps. The first stage is with shampoo to wash off dust, grease and dirt, the second stage is to apply shampoo again to wash the hair, and the third is to rinse the hair with a balm;
Trim the ends of your hair every month. It doesn't matter if your hair is short or long, trimming the ends speeds up their growth;
Change the brand of shampoo from time to time;
Do not blow-dry your hair unless it is necessary. But if you really need it, then do not make the air flow hot, rather slightly warm.

It is better to wash long hair not with concentrated shampoo, but diluted with water. Because there is a risk of overdrying the ends and ruining their condition. Frequent shampooing can also lead to dryness. Comb long hair several times a day, starting from the ends and gradually moving to the roots. Burdock oil and tar are very helpful in restoring long hair.

How to achieve the desired hair length

Many of you who are interested in this article dream of lush and long hair. After all, it is in them that female attractiveness, our magnetism, is hidden. Unfortunately, not everyone's hair can grow very fast. But it is up to us to achieve the desired results. Perhaps the procedures in the salon show high efficiency, but still not everyone is happy with the result. Many girls do not trust purchased products, so they are increasingly looking for folk remedies.

If you decide to accelerate hair growth, then think about your diet. It is with food that we get the necessary “building materials” for our body. Lean on vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, fish, dairy products. Consume a small amount of olive or flaxseed oil daily.

Spend regularly head massage, adding burdock and castor oil, which promotes hair growth.

Great fit and masks. For example, the most common is a mask with mustard powder. Mix a teaspoon of sugar and mustard, add some water and apply to your hair. As soon as you feel a strong burning sensation that you can no longer endure, you can wash off the mask.

The mask with pepper tincture, which can be bought at any pharmacy, has the same effect. It promotes blood flow to the head and accelerates hair growth.

How to care for fine hair

Thin and brittle hair also needs to be nourished and strengthened. The most efficient method is to use gelatin and mineral water masks.

Mix 2 tablespoons of gelatin with mineral water, bring over low heat until smooth, add a few drops of aloe juice. Then apply to hair, wrap with a towel and do not rinse for 40 minutes. This mask gives hair thickening, volume and shine.

Also helpful for thin hair. vitamins A and E. They can be purchased at a pharmacy and rubbed into the hair. Vitamins give strength and shine to your hair.

It is best to rinse thin hair with soft water. To make water soft, it is enough to freeze and thaw it. Wait for the water to come to room temperature and rinse your hair with it.

Nourish your hair with masks, such as yeast. Stir the cake of yeast with a tablespoon of oil and apply this mixture for 50 minutes. This mask will hydrate and condition your curls.

Advice!Choose the right hairstyle that will add volume to your hair. In this case, bob and square will be the best solution for you. Haircut should be airy and layered.

Girls, hello, my dear! Let's talk today about how to care for your hair.

In today's article, I have collected for you all the most "delicious" from my PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

How to care for hair so that it is healthy and beautiful, well-groomed and looks like Luxurious Beauty! ☺

I described everything that I consider it necessary to pay attention to and “mandatory for execution”, if you really, really want the condition of your hair to please our eyes every day!

And for us girls, this is SO important, right?

From this article you will learn:

How to take care of your hair so that it is healthy and beautiful?

Of course, any issue must be approached COMPREHENSIVELY, as they say, “attack” from all sides.

Then the result will be completely different than “taking something out of context ...”, trying to do it, not seeing the result after a couple of such attempts, abandoning everything, and saying: “Yes, well, it ... does not work!” …

It works, HOW it works, girls!☺

You just need to do it RIGHT:

approach the issue comprehensively, as they say, both from the outside and from the inside,
try different options
see what can be improved
adjust not YOURSELF to the recommendation, but the RECOMMENDATION - “to suit yourself”

We are all different, we (all!) have different “initial data”: different preferences, different hair condition, hair type, different health status, which is very important!

Therefore, you yourself will have to choose, experiment, give up something in the process, realizing that it is NOT yours ... But something (what gives a result) - leave and continue to apply it!

And to skeptics who say that their hair is “naturally” not wow, and you can’t do anything here, I’ll say: “You will do it, HOW you will do it!”

Yes, genes are genes and, as they say, you can’t “argue” against nature

And it’s impossible to COMPLETELY change the hair (well, perhaps, to make extensions ...). But to IMPROVE their condition qualitatively, even SIGNIFICANTLY improve their quality - it is quite possible, girls, quite!

Inspired? I think so!☺

What do you need to keep your hair healthy and beautiful?

They need to be taken care of!!!

And this means:

Cleanse your hair properly.
Properly moisturize and nourish them.
Strengthen and revitalize hair with a massage.
Cut your hair properly.
Paint them right.
Properly protect and style your hair.
Eat healthy food, one that will contribute to the beauty of the hair.
Take additional "superfood supplements" for Beauty and Hair Growth.
Move actively and exercise.
Right (positive) thinking.

That, in principle, is all ... In my opinion, not so much, huh? ...

And for those who are immediately "sour" from so many things that will need to be done, I will say right away - it's WORTH IT!!! And you already decide for yourself.

Regarding what is “correct”, I want to say this: “correct” is NOT what I say or someone else ...

“Right” is when something is right for YOU, what is comfortable for you to use and gives you the results you want!

I do not pretend to be the "ultimate truth", no! I just share what is “right” for me, what is right for me personally.

And you try and decide whether it suits you, whether it will be EXACTLY “correct” for YOU and giving a result!

Proper cleansing or washing of hair

It looks like, what's wrong with that? I chose a shampoo according to my hair type and that's it, my health is good, what's so complicated about it?

And I thought so before ... Until I realized that “choosing a shampoo according to your hair type” is far from everything ...

Moreover, I'll tell you, girls, here's what: WHAT shampoo is, well, AT ALL not the most important thing in hair care! Well, in general, not in the first and not even in the second place will be shampoo!

The main thing is that it DOES NOT harm your hair !!!

1) Shampoo

The purpose of a shampoo is to cleanse effectively, nothing more.

To enhance the effect, you can enrich with essential oils, they are absorbed instantly, and have a certain effect immediately.

And there is no point in any other nutritional components.

Firstly, the contact time of the shampoo with the hair is too short. So that these nutrients work well.

And, secondly, for these nutrients to work, they must be applied AFTER washing, to clean hair.

As I like to say in this case - “the plate must first be WASHED, and only then put on a new portion of food”, otherwise it will turn out to be nonsense ...

2) Salt peeling

This is a very, very, very important point in the proper cleansing of hair and scalp, girls! I attach great importance to this moment.

This is just as important as cleansing the face and body with a scrub.

Clogged pores, skin covered with a layer of sebum, dust and other secretions, does not “breathe”, suffers, looks bad.

And she cannot, with all her desire, absorb everything that we put on her in the form of masks and creams, wanting to improve her condition ... So? And the hair and scalp are the same!

3) Water temperature

Only warm water is suitable for washing hair, and not hot at all!

Often those who have oily hair, trying to get rid of the annoying "to hell" greasy hair, try to thoroughly wash their hair to a "clean squeak" and wash it with too hot water, thereby rendering their hair a "disservice".

Hair does not become less oily!

The next day - the same thing again ... No matter how they washed it ...

4) How often should you wash your hair?

Proper hydration and nutrition of hair

After washing your hair, you need to moisturize and nourish it.

To do this, we will need conditioners, masks and special hair tonics.

1) Balm conditioner.

This is the first step after washing your hair. It, like shampoo, will also be well enriched with essential oils, if they are not in the balm.

Universal and the most “working” for hair are lavender, rose, neroli, ylang-ylang. Mint (for those who want freshness and who have oily hair), tea tree (for dandruff).

It is also very welcome to add to balms.

They will also nourish the hair, since the balm still contacts the hair longer than the shampoo, so it needs to be “given a chance” to work even more effectively for the Beauty of our Hair

A trick that I personally use, and which, by the way, is advised by many experienced hairdressers: we keep the balm on the hair not for several minutes, as is usually written in the instructions, but for half an hour (ideally), well, or at least 15 minutes! If you have time, of course...

And then our balm (into which we previously “added oil”) will work like a hair mask!

2) Hair mask

It can be either homemade, homemade, or “from a tube”. Not always and not everyone has time to mess around with natural masks, I understand ...

In addition, now there is such a huge selection of excellent, natural and perfectly “working” masks that many do not want to “bother” ...

Personally, I combine: I use both purchased and. And I love the effect!

I want to draw your special attention to hair masks with keratin. This substance is very important for the beauty and health of hair! Shampoos and balms are also enriched with keratin.

It can also be purchased separately, in special online stores. And then use it yourself, adding to your homemade hair masks! This was recommended to me by a hairdresser friend. I'll have to try, still "hands do not reach" ...

3) Hair tonics

They are designed for hair and scalp. Great stuff, girls! Very, highly recommended!

They are made on the basis of some kind of hydrolat, enriched, as a rule, with herbal extracts, essential oils, etc.

Tonics moisturize curls just super!

Moreover, their active ingredients strengthen the hair follicles, stimulate blood circulation in the scalp, thereby reducing hair loss and activating hair growth.

There are also components that protect the hair from the harmful effects of the environment, and so on ...

The compositions of such funds are very different, and you can always choose for yourself exactly the tonic that will meet your needs!

Using tonics for hair and scalp is super-simple: the bottle is usually equipped with a special dispenser, which is very convenient! Another convenience is that you can always take the tonic with you. A bottle of tonic is usually no more than 100 ml. and can easily fit even in a small woman's handbag!

What I have noticed using hair tonics is that the hair stays fresh and shiny much longer.

I think it's a great result! Especially relevant in the summer heat, what do you think?

Large selection of natural hair tonics, you can find here

1) Hair protection products

Their use is a must! Fortunately, the choice is now wide, and every girl can choose the right tool for herself.

Personally, immediately after washing, rinsing and toning my hair, I always apply a special fluid oil to my hair. It can be applied only to the ends, or it can be applied to the entire length of the hair, if desired.

It contains a lot of natural oils and other natural plant components.

The principle of the "work" of the oil-fluid is the enveloping of each hair with the thinnest invisible film, which will protect the hair from various damages (mechanical - when styling and combing, thermal - when exposed to hot hair dryers, flat irons).

Another such oil-fluid is designed to protect the hair from solar radiation.

An invisible oil film prevents moisture loss, so the hair is able to stay hydrated, which means fresher and more beautiful, much longer!

When applied to the hair, this oil does not interfere with the access of air, the hair "breathes" and is able to function perfectly.

Moreover, the wonderful natural oils included in its composition remarkably nourish the hair, and they become alive, shiny, strong, elastic, less brittle, which will help you grow long hair much faster if you have such a task!

Oils perfectly nourish the ends of the hair and restore their structure, protect from further separation. When I started using this fluid oil, I noticed that the ends are now much less split!

In addition, this tool is very, very economical, you only need a little bit to distribute it all over your hair! And for use only on the ends of the hair - and even less ...

N.B.! When applying any hair protection products (especially those based on oils), it is important not to “overdo it” with the amount, otherwise the hair will not look clean ...

2) Styling products.

Good hair styling products contain various hair-protecting components.

And VERY good products - they also do not harm the hair much, because their composition is “freed” as much as possible from the most terrible chemical components (which, by the way, harm the hair simply in the most “impudent way”, worsening their condition just terribly!).

So it's best to opt for more natural, organic hair styling products. You can easily find them in any online store of natural organic cosmetics.

For those who really, really do not accept anything like that, you can, of course, advise you to style your hair with beer. And what? The old and 100% natural way used by our great-grandmothers

I once tried to style my hair with beer for the sake of experiment. Styling just reinforced concrete turns out! But I don’t need such an effect, besides, I don’t like this feeling on my hair, so I don’t do it anymore ...

3) Hair styling gadgets.

These are all kinds of special hair dryers, irons, curling irons, cones, etc.

Very good ones are equipped with all sorts of additional features that are designed to carefully protect the hair from damaging effects during styling, and, besides, they also improve the appearance and health of the hair!

This is a very broad topic, and now I will not delve into it.

I can simply advise you to study this issue, take an interest in all the innovations and achievements of the industry in this area. Believe me, now there are so many interesting things!

Perhaps you, like me, will also be pleasantly surprised at how many wonderful “things” for hair styling are offered today!

But remember that any device for drying and styling hair (even super-modern), at least a little, but still spoils the structure of the hair, dries the hair, makes it duller, brittle, etc.

So it's best, of course, to minimize blow-drying and styling with cones and flat irons as much as possible.

1) How to dye your hair?

Any hair dye, even the most super-duper-natural, still degrades the quality of the hair and spoils its structure.

Because it cannot be that in the composition of the paint, which is positioned as a resistant paint (and not a hair tone), it will not be washed off for a long time, and which will paint over gray hair by 100%, there are EXCLUSIVELY NATURAL components.

There may be few of them. They may not be too aggressive, yes. But they still will.

The exception is henna. She is completely natural. But she still does not paint over her gray hair completely. Especially when gray hair is not “one or two”, but already decently ...

And if the first effect is such that the gray hairs seem to be painted over, then after two or three “washes” of the head, the gray “sparkles” again proudly begin to shine in sunlight ...

In addition, pure henna (or henna + basma) cannot be used often, it dries hair very much and therefore is not suitable for those who already have dry, brittle and damaged hair ...

It needs to be known. So that you don't get upset later.

For many years I used exclusively henna for hair coloring.

Then she began to use henna-based hair dye, they are also called Ayurvedic dyes. I really liked it, my hair is smooth, shiny, not overdried ...

The problem with these colors is that the choice of shades is not so hot ... And I'm just tired of always wearing the same shade of hair year after year ...

2) When should you cut your hair?

Well, any girl will tell you when to cut your hair, right?

Of course, to the Growing Moon! Then they will grow better and faster, and will also be stronger. This has been tested for centuries!

By the way, even if you have long hair, the ends of your hair need to be trimmed regularly! First of all, it will give the hair a more well-groomed and neat look in general.

3) Personal hairdresser

It is best to choose one hairdresser for yourself and get a haircut only from him. In general, your personal hairdresser, like a gynecologist, dentist and beautician, should be permanent!

It will be very good if this person is pleasant to you, if it is easy and comfortable for you to communicate with him.

Who will not only be a master of his craft, but who will also understand you well, your requests, as they say, "without words."

Who will feel that for you now will be the best option. It will be just super if your tastes, preferences and visions regarding hairstyles coincide with him!

These are important points, a lot really depends on them, and they should be taken into account so that the result after visiting your hairdresser pleases you.

This is from my personal experience)

Scalp massage for luxurious hair

Girls, this is a Very, Very, Very important item in hair care, if you want them to be healthy, beautiful and delight you e-day!!!

Massage will strengthen your hair, promote its growth, improve and maintain its good appearance, and help get rid of dandruff.

Moreover, head massage before hair masks is a guarantee that the result of the mask will be many times better!

The “side bonus” of regular head massage is the disappearance of headaches! And also such a state when they say "cloudy head" - that is, a fuzzy consciousness, the inability to think clearly and quickly concentrate, some kind of sudden "loss" of logical thinking! Checked!

For those who want to quickly grow hair, stop hair loss, regular massage should be like "Our Father" - nothing without it!

You can do massage yourself, you can visit a salon for this purpose - as you wish ... But a regular, high-quality scalp massage should BE!

I understand that now the rhythm of life for everyone is so fast that not everyone has the opportunity to sit straight down like this and engage in purposeful massage, devoting a certain amount of time to this activity ...

There is an exit! You can successfully “introduce” massage, integrate it into your life, so to speak, in “small batches”, little by little, but more often:

In the first paragraph - "Proper cleansing (washing) of hair" - I talked about my "massage trick" that I use while washing my hair. Here, please, there is already something, you can use ...
Further, I often massage my scalp when I'm doing something else, something that doesn't require me to have my "hands" and also doesn't require my full concentration.

I combine, so to speak ... And time is saved, and the job is done!

Movement, exercise and sports for beautiful hair

Everything is simple here: the more we move (especially in the fresh air), the better our blood circulation, which means that the whole body functions many times better!

Hair is a part of the body, which means that everything will be much better with their health and appearance!

Correct (positive) thinking

Yes, my dears, hair also likes to be loved! ☺

And this is not just another “esoteric corral” there, it’s true! I have tested this myself many, many times.

Hair cannot be treated “automatically” - washed, combed, styled and ran ... ☺

They REALLY need to be loved! Any manipulations with hair must be done not from the position “what a horror, we urgently need to wash and comb this nightmare ...”, but from the position “I love you, therefore I take care of you”.

I think you understand what I mean... ☺

Hair is alive, it is a part of the body, and the body does not like it very much when it is not consciously treated. Automatically, it regards this as dislike for itself and is offended ...

Proper nutrition for hair

I wrote a whole article about how important nutrition is for the beauty of our hair.

Shampoo.
How to choose the right shampoo.

If you choose a new shampoo, then carefully read the annotation for the shampoo, study its composition and recommendations for the type of hair for which the shampoo is intended. It is better to choose a shampoo based on natural ingredients recommended specifically for your hair type.

If the shampoo is chosen correctly, then as a result of its use:

even after the first application, the hair is washed well and becomes clean
there are no signs of fat on the hair
hair after drying should have a healthy shine
strands are well combed and obedient
no irritation, itching on the scalp

How to properly wash your hair

Shampoo is selected, proceed to wash your hair.

The safe process of washing your hair is a whole ritual, with its own rules and subtleties.

Hair preparation

Before washing your hair, you should prepare your hair, protecting it from the harmful effects of detergents. No matter how good the shampoo is, it will still cause, albeit small, but still harm, washing out the natural lipids that hold the scales of the outer layer of the hair (cuticle). This is especially important for owners of dry, damaged, wavy and curly hair.

You can protect your hair before washing with the help that suits your hair type. Oil should be applied 5-7 minutes before shampooing so that it covers the hair with a film and protects it during shampooing.

If there is no time to apply oil before washing your hair, then it is better to apply shampoo only to the scalp in the area of \u200b\u200bthe hair roots. Massage and rinse the roots of the hair, and the resulting foam with soapy water will help wash the remaining length of the hair.

Washing process

7 minutes after oil application, you need to thoroughly wet the hair with water along the entire length and apply a little shampoo. Massage well first on the scalp and then on the hair. Move from the roots of the hair to their tips. Do not use too much shampoo, it should be just enough to wash off the dirt and excess oil.

Next, thoroughly rinse the shampoo for 5-6 minutes with warm water. The last rinse is best done with slightly cool water. It is important to thoroughly rinse off the remnants of all shampoo. If the shampoo particles remain on the hair, then the surfactants contained in the shampoo will destroy the lipid layer of the hair, making it brittle and dry.

Drying your hair properly

After the hair is completely washed and has become clean and pleasant to the touch, you need to dry it.

This process also requires attention. So a hard towel, sharp or excessively intense movements while wiping the head, can harm the hair. Excessive friction loosens the scales of the outer layer of the hair, which, when washing the head with shampoo, have already opened up and have not yet taken their original position. As a result of improper wiping of hair, the strands become dull, brittle, the hair breaks easily, sticks out in different directions, does not fit well, and the ends are constantly split.

To avoid such problems, you should wipe your hair gently. After shampooing, gently pat your hair dry with a soft, absorbent towel. It is best to wrap your hair with it and leave for a few minutes so that the moisture is absorbed into the fabric. For long hair, this may take 20-30 minutes.

After the excess water has been absorbed from the hair into the fabric of the towel, you can remove it and let the hair dry completely.

Use a hair dryer only in extreme cases, unless you are very limited in time and need to urgently wash your hair. In other cases, it is better to let the hair dry on its own.

Combing hair

After the hair is dry, you need to brush gently.

Do not comb wet hair. When the hair fibers are filled with moisture, they stretch and become weaker. During combing, stretched hair is more quickly damaged and broken.

First of all, you need to choose the right comb. A wide-toothed wooden comb or a soft massage brush is ideal. Also pay attention to how the edges of the teeth are processed, as well as the places at their base. Rough processing with sharp edges may damage the scalp, hair structure, or hair may break out.

With a good comb, comb or massage hair brush, there should be smooth polished teeth and the same gaps between them. The tips of the tines should be rounded, not spear-like. You can purchase two funds at once and use them alternately.

Short hair is combed from the roots to the tips, and long hair, on the contrary, from the tips to the roots. If you have tangled curly hair, divide it into separate sections and comb each one separately.

When combing long hair, it is necessary to alternate the movements of the comb with stroking the hair with the palm of your free hand. Of course, the hands must be washed beforehand. One movement with a comb, and then the second with a palm.

You can stroke your hair for several minutes and already combed. This distributes sebum along the entire length of the hair, and they become shiny, elastic and strong.

That's it, the hair is washed, dried, untangled and combed. And you need to take care of them daily, and not occasionally or if there is time.

Extra hair care

Unfortunately, it is not enough just to keep your hair clean and healthy. In our modern world, we are surrounded by a lot of negative factors that do not have the best effect, including hair. Among the adverse factors are the most common:
