What are the contents and methods of hair health care

To put it bluntly, healthy hair care is never as simple as just applying conditioner and applying essential oils to the hair. The core is to take into account the maintenance of scalp ecology, hair damage protection, and appropriate living habits. Without any one of the three, it will be difficult to maintain healthy hair. I have been struggling with my hair for five or six years. I used to have hair that was damaged by perms and dyes, and now my hair rarely splits at the ends, and it doesn’t fall apart even if I don’t wash it for three days.

Don't underestimate the importance of scalp care. Many people buy expensive hair masks. In fact, the scalp is the "soil" for hair growth. If the soil is broken, it will be useless no matter how you fertilize the "branches and leaves". Nowadays, there is a fierce debate on the Internet about "should I wash my hair every day?" In fact, there is no standard answer at all. Two years ago, I helped a friend who works on the Internet to solve the problem of oily hair loss. She has a typical oily skin. She sweats a lot in summer. After washing her hair in the morning, it becomes oily and frizzy in the afternoon. I heard people say that the more you wash your hair, the oilier it will become. I insisted on washing it every three days. As a result, the hair follicles became blocked and developed several red and swollen folliculitis, and hair fell in handfuls. Later, I changed to using warm water every day. After washing with Amino Acid Survival Shampoo, the inflammation disappeared and hair loss was reduced in less than half a month; but for people with dry scalp, washing it every day will destroy the weakly acidic sebum film on the surface of the scalp. A colleague of mine with dry hair washed her hair every day and developed large dandruff. She washed her hair every two or three days and switched to a weakly acidic shampoo with a pH value between 4.5-5.5, which is close to the condition of the scalp. The dandruff disappeared in less than a month. There has also been a lot of debate recently about whether silicone-free oil is an IQ tax. It depends on the situation. People with oily skin and prone to folliculitis are indeed suitable to use silicone-free oil to prevent silicone oil from clogging the hair follicles. However, if you have dry and frizzy hair, washing and conditioning with an appropriate amount of silicone oil can actually reduce hair friction. There is no need to follow the trend of changing to silicone-free oil. On the contrary, the more you wash, the more frizzy you will get.

After solving the root problem of the scalp, hair care becomes less fussy. There is also a point that many people are arguing about here: can hair masks be applied to the scalp? I have stepped into this pit before. I bought a nourishing hair mask and applied it to the roots of my hair. As a result, I got several pimples. After asking my dermatologist friends, I found out that most ordinary nourishing hair masks contain occlusive petroleum jelly and silicone oil, which can easily clog pores when applied to the scalp. If you use an oil-controlling and anti-inflammatory medicinal hair mask specifically targeted at the scalp, it can only touch the scalp. Applying an ordinary hair mask from the tip to the middle of the hair is enough. Also, when blowing your hair, don’t turn on the hottest air directly. I used to blow my hair hard with hot air every time after perming, and the ends of my hair were as dry as dry grass. Later, I changed to blowing with warm air until it was semi-dry, then applying hair care oil and blowing it with cold air. After more than two months of continuous treatment, the split ends at the ends of my hair have decreased a lot. The last time I went for a haircut, the hairdresser asked me if it had been a long time since I had permed and dyed my hair. I forgot to bring hair care products when I went to Sanya last year. After sunbathing for a day at the beach, my hair was so rough that it felt prickly to the touch. When I returned to the hotel, I rinsed the salt off my hair with warm water, applied a thick layer of conditioner, wrapped it in a hot towel and let it sit for ten minutes. After rinsing, most of my hair was smoothed back, and there were no split ends like before after sunbathing.

Of course, your hair is a "barometer" of your physical condition. If you stay up until two or three o'clock every day and keep your hands on milk tea and high sugar, no matter how good your hair is, it will be in vain. I met a young girl who was taking the postgraduate entrance examination last year. She stayed up until 2 o'clock every day during the six months of preparation. Her hairline almost doubled in width, and her hair became so oily that it collapsed within a day. After the exam, she adjusted her schedule and ate a small handful of nuts every day to supplement unsaturated fatty acids. She followed the doctor's advice and used low-concentration minoxidil. Within three months, her hairline became thicker. Many people don’t know that excessive dieting and weight loss can also cause hair loss. I once had a friend who only ate boiled vegetables for two months to wear a small skirt. As a result, her hair fell so much that she didn’t dare to tie her hair in a ponytail. This is because of insufficient protein and trace element intake, and her hair will naturally fall out due to lack of nutrients.

In fact, there is really not so much mystery about hair care. It is just to find out the condition of your scalp and hair quality. Don't follow the trend and buy random products, and don't expect to solve all problems with a bottle of shampoo. Slowly adjust it, and you can naturally grow smooth and good hair.
