What content and items does hair health care include

Many people who are new to hair care always think that they just need to buy two bottles of expensive shampoo and apply hair masks every week. If you really want to do systematic hair health care, you have to take into account three aspects: scalp, hair, and daily habits. Daily care at home and special programs in hospitals each account for half. There is no one-size-fits-all solution.

I met a 30-year-old female client a while ago. Her monthly salary as an Internet operator was more than 30,000 yuan, and she spent all of it on hair care products. She moved all kinds of lady hair masks and essential oils to her home in boxes. The ends of her hair felt quite smooth, but the next day the hair became dry. I suffered from oily frizzy hair and constant loss of tiny lint. I came to our store for a scalp test. Under the microscope, the hair follicle openings were completely clogged with conditioner residue and oil. This is a typical example of only caring for the hair and not caring about the scalp. So much money was wasted.

The scalp is actually the foundation for hair care, just like loosening the soil and fertilizing it before planting flowers. There are actually a lot of cares you can do at home. Choose the right shampoo that suits your hair type. Don’t use strong cleansing soap-based products every day. Don’t apply conditioner and hair mask to the roots of your hair. If your scalp is oily and itchy, massage it with a scalp essence containing low concentration salicylic acid for three to five minutes once a week. Regarding the frequency of scalp exfoliation, we in the industry have not come to a unified conclusion. One group believes that once a week is enough for oily skin, which can help metabolize old dead skin cells and reduce acne and hair loss problems caused by clogged hair follicles. The other group believes that the scalp is three times thinner than facial skin and has a fragile barrier. It is enough to do it once every half a month at most. Over-cleansing will destroy the sebum film, making the skin oilier and more sensitive the more you wash it. Among the customers I have dealt with, there are both situations. Some with oily skin tolerate it and get better and better after washing it once a week. Others have sensitive skin with dandruff flying around after washing it once a week. In the end, it all depends on the individual's scalp tolerance and cannot be generalized. The scalp program in the hospital is not complicated. The most basic thing is to identify the problem first through scalp examination, and then perform targeted hair follicle cleaning, red light therapy, and introduction of anti-inflammatory essence. Customers with seborrheic dermatitis usually undergo three or four treatments, and most of their itchy and dandruff problems can be relieved.

Don’t think that taking good care of your scalp is enough. The exposed hair itself is lifeless keratin. If it is damaged, it can only be repaired by filling it, but it cannot really “restore health”. Apply some hair care essential oil every day at home when your hair is semi-dry, and blow-dry your hair at the highest temperature, and try to blow in the direction of the hair scales. For people who often perm and dye their hair, applying a hair mask once a week is enough. You don’t need to apply it every day, which will make the hair roots soft and stick to the scalp. Nowadays, protein correction, keratin filling, and spa hair treatments that everyone often hears about are essentially all about nourishing hair. Many people say that protein correction is an IQ tax. This statement is actually true or not. Regular protein correction uses small-molecule hydrolyzed keratin. The operating temperature is controlled within 120 degrees. It can fill in the gaps in the hair scales and perm and dye. Hair can be smoothed for three to four months after one treatment, and the damage is much less than straightening and perming. However, if you encounter the kind of cheap projects that cost tens or more than a hundred yuan, the materials used are all silicone oil and industrial wax. It will feel slippery after the treatment, and it will return to its original shape after two or three washes. The remaining wax can easily block the hair follicles and cause hair loss. It is not unfair to say that it is an IQ tax. I had a little girl client before who got a 99-yuan protein correction at the barber shop downstairs for cheap. She came to us and washed her hair three times and the white wax residue was still washed away. It took almost a month for her scalp to return to normal condition.

By the way, there is another point that is most easily overlooked by everyone. Hair care is not just about applying things. You must keep up with your daily routine, diet, and daily protection. If you stay up late every day and eat heavy oil and salt, your hair will fall off even if you do theater projects every week. It is best to wear a hat or an umbrella when going out in summer. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays will make your hair yellow and brittle, and the damage is worse than perming and dyeing. Last summer, a customer went to Sanya for a week without wearing a hat. When he came back, his hair was as dry as hay. He had keratin fillers done three times in a row. He went home and applied essential oil every time he blew his hair. It took more than two months to recover. Don't tie your hair too tightly. I've seen many girls tie their hair in a high ponytail for a long time, causing their hairline to move back. In this case, you need to tie your hair less tightly. If it's serious, you need to apply some minoxidil, and it will slowly grow back.

To be honest, hair care is really not a metaphysics, and there is no need to follow the trend and buy a kit that costs thousands of dollars. First, find out whether you have a scalp problem or damaged hair. It is better to deal with the symptoms than anything else.
