Your beautiful hair requires careful care, but often our efforts turn against us. But remember what you can not do with them:
Use old hairbrushes
You probably know that a toothbrush needs to be changed at least once every three months. The same can be said about the comb: Believe me, this is not the subject that is used forever. Between the teeth of the comb, microbes and bacteria accumulate that can harm the scalp and, as a result, the hair. And yet, after each session of combing, be sure to remove the hairs remaining on the brush, and once a week carefully brush my comb with shampoo and baking soda. Trichologists also advise never to lend your comb - even the best friend! Here again we could draw an analogy with a toothbrush. Well, you understand.
Too tight tighten gum
Scrunchy, of course, is necessary in everyday life, but it can also harm your hair. If you make the tail, too tightly tightening it, the blood circulation of the scalp is disturbed, and this can lead to increased hair loss. In addition, many gum literally rip out the hair when removing: choose only those that will easily slide off and not hurt.
Rarely cut hair
Stylists often tell their clients that hair needs to be cut at least once every two months. And most girls amicably neglect this rule! The trouble is that the stronger the ends are split, the weaker your hair becomes in general, they especially lack moisture and nutrition. Therefore, if you want your hair to always be healthy and shiny, regularly trim the tips at least a centimeter.
This rule applies to those who grow hair: in any case, dry ends need to be cut, no matter how long you were.
Too often do recovery procedures
The other extreme is an excessive love of hair. If you make masks too often or constantly visit the salon for professional care, there is a risk of not only throwing money away, but also harming the hair. For example, keratin, which we so often lack, and which is contained in most hair masks, in too large quantities, on the contrary, leads to breakage. Moreover, the constant use of nutrients and moisturizers significantly "weights" the hair, making it weak.
So, after each shampoo, use an air conditioner, and a mask - no more than once a week. Most masks have a prolonged effect, so there is no need to constantly overload the hair.
Often doing hot styling
If the curling iron or the straightener is your best friends every morning, then don't be surprised that your hair is dry and brittle. Hot hair dryers evaporate the liquid from the hair, which means that they will constantly lack moisture. Alas, shampoos and masks will not be able to cope with this problem: you just need to stop abusing hot styling.
The same applies to the hairdryer: the maximum mode, which quickly dries (and at the same time dries) hair, it is best not to include at all. As if you were in no hurry!
1. Too tight elastic
Ponytails help us out when we do not have time to do a haircut or wash our hair. This installation is absolutely everything, for which we love it! But it turns out that if you are too tight and often bind your hair, you cause irreparable harm to it. Excess tension damages the follicles, they lack nutrition, which leads to a kind of "strike." This not only can lead to brittle hair, but even to a violation of the blood circulation of the scalp! And then already before the hair loss close!
Alternative: Use soft cloth elastic bands or plastic hairpins. And even better - replace the usual tail with a beautiful (and not tight!) Oblique.
1. Overdo the washing of the head
Most men wash their hair daily. Alas, this habit is good from the point of view of personal hygiene in general, but not so useful for hair in particular. A daily rinse can dry your scalp (especially if you use a powerful cleansing shampoo or an anti-dandruff remedy), which affects the nutrition of the roots. As a result, they receive less nutrients, which causes precipitation. In order not to lose more hair than you need, teach yourself to wash your hair at least once every two or three days. And use shampoos with a soft, gentle formula. For example, marked "for daily use."
2. Hair coloring
This item is hard to argue. Despite the fact that the colors are improved from year to year, the hair suffers from them incredibly! Dryness, brittleness, increased sebaceous excretion - this is perhaps the least that will bring you the love of experiments. But what to do if you are eager for change or, God forbid, have you got gray hair?
Alternative: use natural dyes or contact a professional who will select for you gentle paints and tell you about hair restoration methods. Sometimes the correct haircut and a good selection of colors allow you to delay the period of re-coloring.
3. Hands off wet hair.
You probably heard that you can not comb wet hair. But you can't even imagine how dangerous it is! Wet curls are more susceptible to damage, so forget about the comb and a rough towel. Any “beatings” to the hair after the “headwashing” causes irreparable damage to them.
Alternative: gently blot the curls with a silk pillowcase to remove excess moisture, then comb them with your own fingers.
4. Love for the "hot"
Of course, drying with a hair dryer makes life very easy for us! Being in constant time trouble, it is difficult to afford a natural hair drying. And the curling iron, the iron - without them we can no longer imagine our life! But these wonderful tools damage the cuticle, making the hair stiff and dry. You do not want to get split ends - refuse it!
Alternative: ideally, of course, it is better to completely forget about blow-drying and straightening hair with a flat iron. But if you can’t imagine your life at all without it, you should get reliable companions of “hot” styling - thermal protective means. They create an invisible layer on the hair that seals moisture.
5. Loyalty to one shampoo
This is not a common myth that hair gets used to the same product, which then ceases to act. Choosing a shampoo for yourself, you must pay attention to the state of your curls, otherwise you can aggravate the existing problems. The condition of the hair is a changeable phenomenon, so replace the shampoo as soon as you notice that it has completed its task.
Alternative: Once a month, make a full assessment of the scalp and hair, then draw conclusions - is it worth it to leave the shampoo you like on the shelf in the bathroom. Dyed your hair - change the shampoo! Made a permanent - change shampoo! The new season has come - change the shampoo!
1. Use alcohol tonic
Many face tonics contain alcohol in their composition, which is why there is an effect of complete degreasing.
Tip: carefully check the composition of the tonic. If you have oily and problem skin, then the alcohol content (in the composition it will be listed as Alcohol or Ethanol) should not exceed 5%, and for other skin types it is better to choose alcohol-free tonic and lotion.
2. Buy creams in jars
Most face creams are sold in cans, although it is much safer and more efficient to use a cream with a dispenser in a sealed package: first, you don’t run your fingers in there, which prevents bacteria from entering and reproducing, and second, many natural ingredients of the cream retain their properties longer .
8 terrible things we do with our hair
So, what are these things?
- Wrong shampooing
- Hair dyeing "professional dye" yourself
- We do not protect from the sea, the sun
- Wrong combing
- Overdoing or choosing the correct laying tools
- Use the iron every day
- Tight tails or hairstyles
- “Smetanka on the head” or put everything on the hair in the fridge
3. Wash ordinary soap
Regular soap when washing leaves a feeling of tightness and dryness of the skin.
Tip: Choose gel for washing or another cleansing option: foam, milk, fluid or tonic. After properly selected tools should not be a feeling of tightness or oily skin.
4. Cleanse the skin with a scrub.
Abrasive scrub particles damage dry and sensitive skin and clog pores in oily and combination skin. And with irritations and pimples use scrub is generally contraindicated.
Tip: if you want an additional cleansing of the skin, give preference to special masks. Both commercial and homemade versions will do.
2. Too hard to wipe your head with a towel
Sounds funny? Maybe. But this harm to hair no less. Intensive “drying” with a towel damages and stretches the hair, because it is in the wet state that they are most vulnerable. Instead of this overly active procedure, immediately after the shower, lightly, without effort, squeeze out the hair with a towel or even a natural cotton T-shirt. This will be enough to absorb excess moisture. Then let it dry naturally. And never comb your wet hair.
5. Often wash
Sometimes, especially in summer, it is tempting to wash as often as possible in order to enjoy fresh skin. But in fact, washing more often 2-3 times a day irritates the skin. A protective mechanism will trigger an increased formation of sebum, which may cause a rash.
Tip: To keep your skin feeling clean even in the heat, use a light cream with a matting effect in the morning, and matting napkins during the day.
3. We do not protect from the sea, the sun
Summer has come and it seems logical to take off all the hats and, having dismissed hair, finally enjoy the effect produced. But not for long 🙂
Especially thin and damaged hair suffers from all the ultraviolet light. At sea, it can be seen even more, since salt is also connected here. A lot of balms, masks and sprays with UV-protection filters appeared in the stores. The main criterion here is that the tool should be indelible.
4. Do not brush correctly.
Hair consists of scales. The more damaged the hair, the greater their detection. From here a porous, dry hair which badly keeps within. Curly hair is damaged by nature. He is always porous and always needs extra care.
Whenever we brush our hair, we risk damaging the scales. It is very important to remember that wet hair should not be combed. If your hair is long, brush it before washing. And also choose the right comb - be sure to get yourself a comb "spade" with special teeth that do not pull out and do not tear the hair.
5. Overdoing or choosing the correct laying tools
Laying tools today combine care, sun protection and hairstyle support. However, not all means act that way.
Many girls, in pursuit of volume, are accustomed to lift the roots and spray them with varnish. You should know that lacquer dries and thinns hair. In addition, using it on the roots, you cover the scalp and it does not breathe. Varnish is a means for special occasions.
What to choose for laying for every day?
Experiment with sprays and special serums for volume. There is also a wonderful remedy - powder on the roots, maybe it will help someone.
6. Use the iron every day.
The iron is also an emergency styling tool for mom's birthday or a party of friends, but office work is no reason to kill hair so mercilessly! One client told me “well, I have a thermal protection,” are you serious ?!
The iron heats up to 200 - 270 degrees, imagine this temperature. Put something in the oven at this temperature. The same happens with your hair. No thermal protection will help. But if you really want, you can - once a month or two.
7. Tight tails or hairstyles
Hair may begin to get damaged due to the gum being too tight. You probably came across this when you spread your tail. Usually the front locks, the shortest, the tips of which just interact with the rubber band more cut.
Choose a silicone gum, it is convenient to use and really does not leave creases and does not pinch the hair.
8. “Smetanka on the head” or put everything on the hair in the refrigerator
Many girls eagerly write prescriptions from the Internet and try to try it all on their hair in the hope of getting shine like a Hollywood handsome man. Without thinking who writes these recipes and why. And if they were so effective, would they not be sold in the shops of professional cosmetics? However, none of us saw hair dressing or oil in Eliza.
We worked in the studio one master, Igor. Big prankster. Once a client came to him for a hot haircut and now she began to consult with him that mayonnaise on hair or an egg is better. Igor decided to joke and said: “The egg is definitely better. we use it ourselves. for example, what kind of smash - chicken or quail? Quail, however, more expensive. "
Technologists around the world knowingly get their salary by inventing another product for our hair. Everyone is fighting for the best effect in the shortest possible time. Today, hair can be restored at almost the very last stage of damage. And this is a miracle!
One day a client came to us in tears and in a ... hat. She brought from Egypt natural oil, now I do not remember which one. Since she was after the sea and had long been in blondes, she decided, of course, to try this oil on her hair. Persistently applied it all week for the night. And the last time after such an overnight stay, the hair simply turned into a wasp nest, it was impossible to comb it and it broke off. She rushed to us.
Oil is very difficult to wash from the hair, and not all oil has a therapeutic effect at all, especially in its pure form. Please note that all expensive hair oils are made up of more than one oil and this is no accident. The oil that she applied was very well absorbed into the open cuticle damaged by dyeing and sun, and in the morning it was not washed out to the end with shampoo. After drying, the oil turned into a pitch, froze, and that was the nest.
We saved the hair as best we could. Special deep peeling, then nursing programs. The part still had to be cut off. Take care of yourself, stop dangerous experiments!
3. Do not visit the hairdresser often enough
Picked up a successful haircut? Fine! But accept the fact that beauty needs to be maintained. And iron, despite rain, snow and alien invasion to visit the hairdresser once a month. And between visits to the hairdresser, use wax or gel to model hairstyles. Just do not overdo it.
4. Try to paint over gray hair at home
No, no and NO. And again, no. If gray hair interferes with life in peace, go to the salon and talk with the stylist. And it’s better to have a shrinkage right away. Joke. But trying to paint over gray hair at home, though, is not worth it. The result may be too unexpected. Make a trendy haircut that you don’t like at all
Or does not go. Just because it is "fashionable." After all, even such a trifle can make you feel ill at ease and, as a result, it’s great to spoil your mood on a daily basis. What for? There are plenty of stresses in life.
6. Try to mask signs of baldness.
Alas, but to argue with genetics is useless. And about how comical the attempts to “disguise” the gaps in the head may look, every day reminds the current President of the USA and half of the stars of the national stage on the screen. Humble, relax and consult with a good hairdresser - to choose a successful and stylish haircut even for thinning hair is not at all difficult today. Yes, and change the image though from time to time - very useful.
