What you need to know about hair?

The basis of any hair is pure protein. Hair growth occurs from a follicle - a bag with a hair follicle hidden in the scalp. It is the shape of the follicle that affects the quality of your hair - will it be perfectly smooth or will you become the owner of seductive curls.

The strength of the hair depends on the cortical layer, and more precisely on the outer cuticle, and on the quality of the sebaceous glands.

Features of different types of hair

From what complex of these important factors nature has awarded you, the type of hair is determined. There are 3 main types:

1. Greasy. They are characterized by a fairly dull sheen and very fast pollution. Even immediately after washing, they will stick together and look untidy if you do not properly organize home hair care or choose the wrong products.
2. Dry. This type has the opposite problem - the appearance of dry straw and the complete absence of a healthy shine. But this is far from all the trouble. We add that such hair is very quickly confused, torn, split off, and combing them at all sometimes seems impossible.
3. Combined. Owners of such a head of hair can appreciate all the negative “charms” of the 2 previous types. Usually you have to find options on how to deal with such misfortune for those who have very long braids. This happens for the reason that excess sebum accumulates at the roots, and they do not reach the end of the hair.

Important! Despite the fact that each type of hair gives its own difficulties, it is quite possible for each girl to cope with them. To do this, you just need to establish the right home hair care. The result will be not only a beautiful and well-groomed hairstyle on the head, but also self-confidence.

Basic care rules

The whole range of hair care at home includes several procedures:

1. The washing up.
2. Food.
3. Combing.
4. Drying.

Important! In addition, the right choice of accessories, regardless of the length of the hair, is no less significant for obtaining beautiful curls.

2. Choose the right hair care products.
3. If possible, do not use clean tap water, but softened water.
4. Do not rub the scalp heavily with any hair activity.
5. Do not hold a towel on your head for a long time with wet hair.

Washing my hair right

Proper home hair care begins with washing. From how correctly you determine the frequency of the procedure that suits you and the set of tools, to a greater extent depends on how neat you look.

The entire washing process is as follows:

1. Prepare water at a temperature of 37-38 degrees. If very hard water flows in the tap, fill up a large container or basin and add a glass of milk to the water. This will make her much softer.
2. Wet your hair.
3. Squeeze lightly.
4. Put a small amount of shampoo in your palm and apply on hair.
5. Gently whip into the foam while doing a light massage of the scalp.
6. Do not rub the curls strongly against each other, so as not to damage the cuticle.
7. Rinse off.
8. Reapply the shampoo to not only remove all the dirt from the head and excess sebum, but also get a healing effect from the components of the detergent.
9. Rinse thoroughly with clean water until the shampoo is completely removed.
10. Apply the conditioner and leave it for 1-2 minutes, while distributing the product with your hands along the entire length of the curls.
11. Rinse off.

Important! How often you need to wash your hair, decide on the basis of the degree of contamination. Some require a daily procedure, for others - it is enough to carry out it only 1 time in 8-10 days. Also take into account the number and frequency of use of styling products: the more they are, the more often you need to clean your scalp and hair.

Choose a shampoo and conditioner based on the label on the package for the recommended type of hair. It is desirable that the products were from the same series.

Nourish hair

Periodic hair nutrition is a must-have item in home hair care. For this purpose, various masks made from improvised means are suitable. All of them allow not only to give curls more softness, silkiness, but also to strengthen them, provoking a more intensive growth and longer purity.

Variants of masks may be as follows:

1. Kefir - apply a clean product to your hair for 40 minutes before washing your hair. Kefir is more suitable for dry hair.
2. Honey is an excellent cosmetic product, saturated with a rich complex of minerals and vitamins. For the best effect, it is recommended to add additional ingredients: castor, burdock oil and yolk. Everything except the egg must be taken in 2 tbsp. l This mask not only allows you to quickly nourish your hair, but also to reduce their loss and get rid of dandruff.
3. Red pepper. It is used in combination with oil (any vegetable, including castor or burdock, is suitable). Red pepper stimulates hair growth, so it’s very good to rub such a mask into the scalp if the curls fall out intensively.
4. Castor and burdock oil. These oils can be used both singly and in combination. Method of application - before washing, rub into the scalp.

Proper hair combing

Combing is another crucial step. Often, most problems with hair occur precisely because the comb is incorrectly selected or the procedure itself is incorrectly performed. In order to avoid any mistakes in relation to this stage in hair care in the future, follow these recommendations:

1. Never comb wet hair - they stretch out, thin out and become less durable.
2. Do not use metal combs - preferably a wooden or massage option with soft rubber or plastic tips on each tooth.
3. Comb your hair progressively, slowly moving up and down - so the curls will be less confused.
4. If a knot is formed, first carefully untangle it with your hands, then act with a comb.

Safe Ways to Make Your Hair Beautiful

Hair styling is always a creative process and every woman has her own secrets to create a certain image. But so that they do not harm the curls, you must follow certain rules for choosing accessories. They are as follows:

1. Elastic bands should not be too tight and preferably made of soft materials. The width is also better large, as a thin elastic band breaks the hair.
2. Minimize the use of hair dryers and tongs made of pure metal.
3. Instead of metal and thermal hair curlers, use modern soft foam rubber or do with papillots at all.
4. When using a curling iron or a straightener, first apply a protective spray to the hair.
