Part 1: Develop new hair care and hair care habits.
1, treat your hair gently. Damaged hair is very fragile, so you should be especially careful when washing your hair. If the force is too great, the hair may split or break, making it more short-tempered. Starting today, you should take extra care of wet hair and dry hair, and try your best to do it: when applying shampoo or other products, gently touch the hair care products with your fingers from the root to the tip of your hair. Never rub it around.
Don't wash your hair too hot, just feel warm.
Don't twist your hair or wipe it hard with a towel. The correct way is to gently squeeze out the water from your hair, and then use an old T-shirt, deerskin towel or soft towel to absorb the remaining water.
2. Don't wash your hair often. There is a layer of natural oil on the surface of the hair, which can prevent the hair from drying out, and the shampoo will wash off the oil. Washing your hair too often will lead to hair damage and hair will become short-tempered. It is suggested that the number of shampoos should be reduced to twice a week to allow the oil to recover itself. The hair quality will improve after a week. Use shampoo according to the amount of hair. Usually the number of coins is enough. There is too much shampoo in your hair. It must be too crowded.
If it's not time to wash your hair, your hair roots will get greasy. Try spraying some hair dry cleaning spray. As long as you start to reduce the number of shampoos, you will find that you use less and less dry cleaning spray after a few weeks. However, it should be noted that dry cleaning spray should not be used too often, otherwise the hair will dry up and be damaged.
3. Let your hair dry naturally as much as possible. You may have heard how much hair dryers do to your hair. If your hair is already fragile, you can't use a hair dryer. The best way is to let your hair dry naturally. We should all learn to accept the most natural look of hair. As long as you take good care and don't toss about, your hair will get better. Don't use perm products. Use curling irons and perm boards as little as possible.
If you must use a hair dryer, set the temperature to a minimum. The thinner the hair, the lower the temperature of the hair dryer. After the hair is dried, it is set with strong cold air.
Comb your hair with a hairbrush, not a hairbrush. When combing knotted hair with a hairbrush with plastic teeth, it will pull the hair hard, resulting in hair breakage. Wide-toothed comb can gently and smoothly comb tangled hair without causing any harm to hair. Comb your hair from the tip and then move it up a few centimeters at a time, so that you can comb it smoothly from beginning to end.
5. Stop any behavior that damages hair. Healthy hair is most taboo to dye, bleach, perm and chemical straightening. There is no healthy method in this world that can permanently change the color or texture of hair, so don't try the hair styling method above. If you really want to dye your hair, tea or henna plant hair dye can make your hair darker and brighter.
If there is a way to make hair straight or curly without heating, it is worth a try.
Part 2: Restoring hair vitality.
1, deep hair care once a week. A good deep conditioner can re-energize hair, making straight hair as smooth as satin and curly hair as flexible as waves. In short, your hair will show the most natural and healthy state. You can buy deep hair care products and use them according to the manufacturer's instructions, or you can refer to the following methods to make your own hair conditioner: wet your hair.
Apply a spoonful or two of coconut oil or olive oil to your hair. Comb the hair oil with a comb so that each hair can be evenly moistened.
Wear a shower cap or wrap your head with plastic wrap.
An hour or all night.
Wash your hair with shampoo as usual. Wash it at least twice to clean all the oil.
2. Make a hair mask suitable for hair quality. The hair mask here is all natural raw materials, which may come from your kitchen. Hair mask can moisturize hair and improve hair quality. The best time to apply the hair mask is in the shower, that is, after the hair is wet. Let the hair mask stay on the hair for 5 minutes, and then apply shampoo. The following hair masks have good effects: curly hair: an egg, breaking up.
Dry hair: two tablespoons of whole milk or yogurt.
Unbalanced hair: two tablespoons honey.
Dark hair: a tablespoon of white vinegar mixed with a tablespoon of water.
3. Apply hair care oil to wet or dry hair. Hair oil and leave-alone conditioner have roughly the same function, but the former will not increase the weight of hair and make it look lifeless and dull. First, squeeze out the hair oil the size of a coin in the palm of your hand, then put your fingers through your hair and apply the essential oil evenly to your hair. The parts that need to be smeared are mainly hair roots. The following hair care essential oils are effective: coconut oil (suitable for very dry hair)
Walnut oil
jojoba oil
apricot kernel oil
olive oil
4. Try a hard brush. This special hair brush can bring the natural oil from the hair roots to the hair tips. Natural oil is a good conditioner. Bristles are natural fibers, which are very similar to the texture of human hair, so this kind of hair brush is the only safe choice for damaged hair. Here's how to use the bristle brush: comb your hair with a hairbrush a few hours before washing your hair or the night before. When combing, press the scalp with bristles and comb gently from the hair root to the hair tip.
Comb each section of hair several times, so that the oil can be combed evenly.
Wash your hair with shampoo according to the normal procedure.
5. Use only natural hair care products. Most shampoos, conditioners and styling products on the market will do some harm to hair. Because your goal is to restore your hair to health, it is necessary to look for all-natural hair care products that will not cause further harm to your hair. Check the ingredients on the package and avoid buying products containing the following ingredients: sulfate: generally added to shampoo; Destroy the natural oil of hair.
Silicon: usually added to conditioner; It will accumulate on the hair and make it dull.
Alcohol: Usually added to styling sprays, hair gels and similar products, it will dry hair.
Part III: Promoting the Healthy Growth of Hair
1, massage the scalp. Massage the scalp can promote blood circulation and stimulate new healthy growth. You can get into the habit of massaging your scalp every time you take a shower. When massaging, do a small range of rotation with your fingertips to ensure that every inch of skin on your head is massaged. If you want to moisturize your hair while massaging, you can soak your fingers in almond oil, jojoba oil, olive oil or coconut oil for a while, and then massage.
It is said that tea tree oil can promote hair growth. You can add 5 drops of tea tree oil to one tablespoon of olive oil, mix well and apply it to your hair for massage.
2. Pay attention to a balanced diet. The influence of food on hair health should not be underestimated. If the intake of vitamins and nutrients is insufficient, the hair will become dry, dull and easily broken. In order to avoid unbalanced nutrition, we should pay attention to the diversity of food, including protein, fruits, grains, vegetables and moderate fat. In addition, eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia and fast dieting can also cause obvious malnutrition and affect hair health. Omega 3 fatty acids: found in salmon, sardines, flaxseed and avocados.
Protein: It exists in meat, fish, eggs, beans and tofu.
Other nutritious foods include oysters, shellfish, peanuts, peppers, Greek yogurt, papaya and other fruits rich in vitamin C.
If you suspect that all kinds of hair problems are due to the lack of vitamins or minerals in your body, it is recommended that you take enough iron, zinc, biotin and vitamin B 12 (especially for vegetarians) and discuss your doubts with your doctor.
3. Keep your body hydrated. Another culprit causing dry hair damage is lack of water in the body. Drink more water every day. The first choice for quenching thirst is white water, not coffee or coke, because the latter two have diuretic effect and will dehydrate the body. Alcohol will dehydrate the body quickly. You should add a large glass of water after drinking every time.
Carry a water cup with you and replenish water at any time.
4. Protect hair from various external factors. Sunlight, unusually cold air and air pollution are all easy to damage the health of hair. In order to avoid the damage of these environmental factors to your hair, you can wear a hat specially designed to protect your hair. When you go swimming in the pool, you should also wear a swimming cap to reduce the damage of chlorine to your hair. In addition, heat setting protection spray and some hair care products after dyeing are also marked with SPF sun protection index, which has the function of isolating ultraviolet rays. You can use these products to protect your hair even if you don't perm or dye your hair.
5. Trim your hair regularly. Regular trimming can keep hair in a brand-new state, and healthy new hair can replace damaged old hair more quickly. No matter whether the hair is long or short, it should be trimmed every 6 to 8 weeks. Even if the hair cut is only one centimeter long, the hairstyle will have a different feeling. When you go to the hair salon, you'd better tell the stylist that you only use natural products.
Tell the barber that you are fixing your hair, and tell him not to blow it with hot air or straighten it with a straight clip.
Tip: Don't just rely on vitamin tablets to supplement nutrition. You should eat a lot of fruits and vegetables rich in various nutrients.
Some hairstyles can protect your hair and prevent it from splitting. For example, when the weather is hot or windy, you can curl your hair.
About an hour before washing your hair, you can apply some castor oil to your hair. Castor oil needs a little heating before it can be applied to dry hair. Many people like to add some coconut oil to castor oil. Of course, whether coconut oil is added or not depends entirely on personal preference.
