Step by step hair care. Hair Mask. Fruit balm for hair

Nothing so clearly indicates a person's health as the condition of his skin and hair. Any failure in the body will sooner or later affect appearance hairstyles. But masking the existence of problems is more difficult than preventing them from occurring. In reality, maintaining beauty is not so difficult, but bad habits, lack of time and ignorance of some of the nuances hinder us.

Home hair care should be done daily. Some of its features are determined by the type of curls, but the basic rules are the same for all. Unfortunately, few of us, by virtue of our lifestyle, manage to follow all the instructions, but this is worth striving for.

Exists medical advice regarding the frequency of washing hair, depending on their type, but most women prefer to carry out this procedure, without waiting for the moment when the hairstyle becomes unkempt. Daily cleansing activities do not benefit the curls: sebum is washed off every now and then, and the hair remains unprotected. But beauty requires sacrifice, and the only thing that can be done here is to reduce the "trauma" of washing.

• Use a shampoo that suits your hair type. It should be free of weighting additives (silicones, parabens) and sulfates (especially if you have dyed or damaged curls). Avoid universal means and complexes "2 in 1": they are useless at best, dangerous at worst. Shampoo, no matter how good it is, should be changed at least every six months.
• The water should be soft and warm (up to 50 ° C). If the hair is oily, it can be increased by a few degrees. Too much hot water stimulates the work of the sebaceous glands, which means that after the procedure, the curls will remain clean for a short time. Rinsing is done with extremely cool water.
• When washing your hair, you do not need to rub or beat too vigorously: you can simply tangle it or even damage the cuticle. Apply and distribute shampoo with gentle movements, massage gently and lightly on the skin.

Combing and drying

• Do not comb wet hair- this leads to damage to their structure.
• Do not wrap your hair in a towel after washing; instead, blot the strands several times and let them dry naturally. Of course, the temptation to use a hairdryer every time is very great, but remember that hot air has a destructive effect on the hair shaft.
• Don't go to bed with a wet head.
• Start with a wide-toothed wooden comb. Plastic and metal ones provoke electrification of the hair. Generally, the best way- a massage brush made of natural bristles, but in recent years there have been models made of special plastic that allow you to comb even wet hair without harming it.
• You need to start combing from the ends, and only then move on to the roots. It's important to take your time. The curls need to be combed no more than 4 times per day. Passion for this ritual and excessive haste leads to the fact that the hair is damaged or pulled out.
• If the strands after washing are tangled and tough, it is worth sprinkling them with an indelible conditioner or lubricating them with a special light cream before combing them.

Styling and protection

Styling with a hair dryer, curling iron or ironing requires a thermal protective agent to be applied first. Hard plastic, wooden and even silicone curlers should be replaced with foam. Hairpins and hairpins are suitable only for healthy, elastic hair, and they leave creases on damaged and thin hair. It is safer to use soft, wide elastic bands and avoid hairstyles that are too tight.

As for styling products, if they contain alcohol, they dry out your hair. It is even advisable if you have fatty ones, but in this case you need to know when to stop. If the strands are damaged or dyed, special attention should be paid to the composition of the styling foam or mousse. The weaker the hair, the more delicate the composition for modeling should be, and vice versa: it is not for nothing that the industry produces varnishes of varying degrees of fixation.

Choose a product, focusing on the type and condition of your curls: someone has enough air mousse, and someone cannot do without a heavy gel. But, be that as it may, do not overdo it with the amount and only do styling when it is really necessary. Give your hair the opportunity to rest, and before going to bed, be sure to wash off or comb out all the "chemistry" from it: the scalp must breathe, and the sebaceous glands work especially intensively at night, and they do not need to interfere.

Features of care at different times of the year

In winter, to protect the curls from the cold, it is necessary to wear a hat, despite the fact that under it they wrinkle and get dirty quickly. In winter, the air is dry (and indoors it is also hot), which is why the hair loses moisture and becomes electrified. The solution may be to purchase a humidifier (it will be useful for the skin). But there are also less radical measures - in particular, the use of thermal protective sprays, mild moisturizing shampoos and balms, special masks. In addition, you must drink at least two liters of water daily.

Cold air constricts blood vessels in the scalp, which makes the hair poorly supplied with nutrients. Therefore, doctors recommend periodically doing light massage in winter to help improve blood circulation.

Spring is a time of unstable weather, winds and high humidity. But the main problem of this season is vitamin deficiency, which is easiest to deal with by taking special complexes.

In summer, hair is exposed to UV rays, fading, becoming dry and brittle. Frequent bathing causes the strands to lose their softness and fade. In this case, again, plenty of drinking and special protective equipment will help.

When visiting a bathhouse or sauna, wear a felt cap, and do not neglect a cap in the pool.

Normal hair

The owners of curls of this type are definitely lucky. They do not need to carry out any special procedures beyond those listed above. The main thing is to maintain the health of the strands through proper nutrition, supply them with vitamins. It is important to choose good shampoo and an air conditioner to it. You can make masks: moisturizing, for shine and silkiness, but not necessarily in courses. It is enough to carry out such procedures every 2 weeks.

Normal hair should not be washed too often, or the sebaceous glands will start to work harder than necessary.

Hair masks of this type are made on the basis of vegetable oil (for example, almond or burdock) with the addition of honey, cognac, aloe. Sometimes colorless henna compresses are used for preventive purposes.

In general, hair care is not too cumbersome as long as the hair is normal. All you have to do is keep them as such.

Greasy hair

Accept that you will have to wash them often. But still, not twice a day, otherwise you are guaranteed a vicious circle: you will wash off the skin secretion every time, and the glands will begin to produce it at an accelerated rate in order to protect the hair. To remedy the situation, avoid fatty foods and flour products, eat vegetables and fruits, and drink as much water as possible (including mineralized water). Buy only hair cosmetics that are suitable for daily use. Sometimes dry shampoo is acceptable.

Increased greasiness is often accompanied by the formation of dandruff, seborrhea. To greasy hair looked fresh and stayed clean longer, it is necessary to use masks based on kefir, blue or white clay, mustard, aloe and lemon juices, salt. You can add base oils to them, but only relatively light ones - for example, coconut or grape seed. They go well with essential oils - rosemary, juniper, lemon. Masks are applied mainly to the scalp, especially if the hair is of a mixed type. Dry tips can be lubricated with special nourishing serums or fluids. Mixed curls are in dire need of sun protection and need to be trimmed every few weeks.

Oily strands are rinsed with lemon or vinegar water, fresh (this is important!) Decoctions of mint, horsetail, nettle, yarrow, calendula and oak bark. The listed herbs help to narrow the pores and suppress the activity of the glands that produce skin secretions. Broths should be chilled.

Dry or damaged hair, split ends

Most often, curls become dry after lightening, staining, chemistry, as a result of regular heat exposure. They cannot boast of strength and volume, they are easily torn, split at the ends, and fall out. Dry scalp causes itching and dandruff, which is a serious cosmetic problem. First of all, hair must be saturated with moisture and protected from moisture loss. The stimulation of the sebaceous glands also helps: in order for them to produce fat that envelops and protects the hair shaft, the scalp needs to be massaged daily.

• Dry hair is sensitive to all sorts of chemicals, you need to wash them with soft cool water and natural shampoo, without aggressive additives (sulfates, parabens). It is good if the care products contain lanolin, lecithin, proteins, artificial keratin. These substances help curls to become more elastic, durable and shiny. In general, dry hair can be washed easily, so you can refuse from purchased products and use beaten egg yolk, yogurt or whey with the addition of rye bread instead of shampoos.
• Rinse dry hair with a decoction of nettle or chamomile, but you can replace them with an aspirin solution (at the rate of 2 tablets per 1 liter of warm water). This remedy fights dandruff and gives curls a beautiful, natural shine.
• Hair masks are prepared based on fatty oils: castor, burdock, peach, olive. They add honey, aloe extract, egg yolks, sour cream or cream, garlic and onions. It is helpful to supplement these formulations with a few drops of essential oils such as geranium or lavender. Masks are made weekly, in courses. They are applied to the hair along the entire length and kept, as a rule, for at least an hour under a towel or cap.
• Owners of dry hair should be especially careful with styling products. It is better not to wear tight elastic bands, hairpins and metal hairpins.
• Split ends should be cut regularly (at least once a month, if possible - every two weeks) with hot scissors. It will not be possible to cure them, but they are successfully masked (glued) with special means that can be found in any cosmetics store. Some women, however, apply castor oil to their tips, claiming that it works in a similar way.

Luxurious hair will naturally look lifeless and unkempt if not looked after. Today we are not going to talk about proper nutrition, taking vitamins or the right lifestyle, we are going to talk about the basics of hair care. For effective hair care, you need to determine your hair type. He can be: normal hair type- the hair is elastic, easy to comb, amenable to styling, hardly splits, has a natural shine and retains these qualities for several days after washing. Oily hair type- characterized by high activity of the sebaceous glands of the scalp and the very next day the hair sticks together and looks dirty, unkempt, and oily hair looks dull. Dry hair- do not comb well, get confused, break off and split not only at the ends, but also along the entire length, look lifeless and dull. Mixed hair type- most often in women it is the mixed type, when the hair at the roots is oily and dry in length or at the ends.

1. Washing hair

The first and most important step in grooming is, of course, shampooing.

Hair should be washed when it needs it.

- Before washing your hair, you should comb your hair well so as not to injure it during washing and then after washing it will be easier to comb it.

- Water for washing hair should be at a comfortable temperature (in no case hot), at the end you can rinse with cool water to smooth the scales.

- Do not wash all your hair with shampoo, just soap the roots, and when you wash off the shampoo from the head, it will flow through the hair and rinse the length of the hair.

- It is better to lather your hair with shampoo twice, distributing the shampoo in circular, massage movements. The first time you rinse off the dirt and styling products, and the second time you leave the shampoo on for 2 minutes to work on the scalp.

- From time to time rinse your hair with herbs (oak bark, nettle, sage - if dark hair, as well as chamomile, calendula, hop cones, burdock, lavender, linden). These herbs strengthen and heal the hair.

- After washing, do not rub your hair with a towel, but lightly blot and hold the towel on your head for about 5-10 minutes so that it absorbs moisture from the hair.

2. Shampoo should be selected according to the type of scalp

In the choice of shampoo, everything is very individual, for someone pharmacy suits, for someone professional, and for someone a mass market is suitable. Someone likes shampoos with silicones, while others are more natural. A properly selected shampoo is the basis for healthy and beautiful hair.

- When choosing a shampoo, you need to proceed from the type of scalp, in more detail how to choose a shampoo, you can read in the article:.

- It's ideal to have several shampoos in your arsenal: neutral, for frequent use; acid shampoo with a low pH level up to 6 - it is well suited for damaged, dry, colored hair; and one alkaline shampoo (pH more than 7) for deep cleaning of the scalp and hair.

- Always rinse off the shampoo thoroughly so that it does not remain on your hair.

3. Deep cleansing of the scalp.

Just like the pores on the face, the hair follicles on the scalp can become clogged with oil and dirt, so you need to cleanse your scalp as regularly as you do your face.

- Once a week or every two weeks, use a deep cleaning shampoo to wash everything that has accumulated from your hair: cosmetics, dirt, silicones. After such a shampoo, all masks work much better on the hair.

- Do scalp exfoliation, purchased or homemade, such as a salt peel:

• 1 tbsp finely ground sea salt;
• 1 tbsp blue clay
• 2 tbsp base oil (almond, olive ...)

• 2 tbsp. l. sea ​​salt;
• 1-2 tbsp water.

Salt peeling is enough to do once a week or once every two weeks. The procedure is done before washing your hair. First, you need to moisten the scalp well, and then apply the mixture along the parting with massage movements and leave for 5-10 minutes, wash your hair as usual.

Purchased peels and scrubs are available from many brands: Molto Bene, Lebel Cosmetics, L`Oreal Professionnel Expert Soft Peel, Natura Siberica, Paul Mitchell and many others.

4. Balm, hair conditioner

Their main task is to close the hair scales after shampooing and to facilitate combing. They should be well distributed through the hair, easy to wash off and not weigh down the hair. A balm or conditioner should be used after each shampooing and should not be applied to all hairs, but somewhere from the middle of the hair. Using conditioners reduces the appearance of split ends and makes hair more manageable and shiny.

5. Hair mask

A hair mask is the main assistant in caring for hair length (one friend of mine replaced all conditioners, balms and sprays with masks, after each wash, she applies a mask instead of a balm, holds for 2-3 minutes and rinses off. And once a week she applies a mask and keeps already as recommended by the manufacturer for 10-15 minutes, she justifies this by the fact that only masks nourish her hair length and they look well-groomed).

When choosing a hair mask, pay attention to the regenerating, moisturizing and nourishing series, these are the series from which you will notice the effect. And of course, do not forget about home hair masks, which are not inferior in effect to purchased ones, you can read more about home hair masks in more detail.

If the shampoo is chosen according to the type of scalp (for oily, dry, sensitive), then balms, conditioners and masks are chosen according to the type of hair (for dry, damaged, colored)

6. Leave-in hair products

Oils, serums, creams, fluids, crystals, elixirs are gaining more and more popularity in hair care, especially for the ends. They are a must for long, dry and porous hair.

7. Choosing a comb

The comb plays a very important role in hair care. A quality hairbrush removes dirt and styling residues and distributes sebum evenly from hair roots to ends. The best quality combs are considered to be brushes made of natural or partially natural bristles, as well as wooden ones and the famous Tangle Teezer. Use only clean combs, preferably washed once a week with a mild shampoo.

8. Thermal protection and hair styling

Let your hair dry naturally as often as possible, but if that doesn't work, use good thermal protection. Always use a heat protectant (cream, spray, or oil to keep hair from overheating) before using styling tools. In all professional brands of hair cosmetics, there are thermal protection products, they can be washed off and indelible.

While drying your hair, the hair dryer must be in constant motion. Do not use attachments that restrict the flow of hot air. When drying with a hair dryer, and especially with an iron or curling iron, the exposure temperature often reaches 200 ° C. damaged hair proteins begin to break down already at temperatures of about 140 ° C, so be sure to apply heat protection to your hair before using such devices.

Your hair needs as much sun protection as your skin, so in the summer use products that have UV protection and protect your hair from the sun.

For women, everything is simple:

long hair needs to be cut

short - build up,

straight - curl,

and curly ones - straighten.

And that's it!!!
