Beautiful hair don't care!!!

 

To have beautiful hair, it is not enough to shampoo regularly and go to the hairdresser every 3 months. First and foremost, you have to learn some habits in order to have healthy hair. Here are the 10 dos and don'ts.

Having healthy hair is a matter of habit and daily maintenance. By having a balanced diet and nourishing your hair with the right products, you can already be sure to improve the texture of your hair. But there are other ways to get good results. Here, for example, are our ten tips for having healthy hair.

Hair products without sulfates and silicones

When we care about our hair, we avoid these two ingredients. Sulfates are the substances that make shampoo lather, but are aggressive on the scalp. If you have itching problems, this is to be avoided.

As for silicones, they give a shiny and neat appearance to the hair, but suffocate it enormously in the long term. It's not for nothing that you find your hair flat just a day after shampooing, and why some colors don't set.

There are alternatives to look for on the organic side, or washing powders like shikakai. Many brands make very good natural shampoos.

The house mask

We use ingredients that have the reputation of nourishing the hair fiber: avocado, full of essential fatty acids, egg, oil of your choice according to the nature of your hair or even lemon, which has for reputation for lightening hair very slightly.

Cut the tips

An urban legend claims that cutting the ends makes hair grow faster. This is totally wrong, since the hair grows at the root. On the other hand, split ends can break, and the more you have, the more you will feel that your hair is no longer growing, or that it is thinning.

Ideally, you should go to the hairdresser every three months to even out the hair, but if you are following all the tips for taking care of the hair, one visit twice a year is sufficient.

Pay attention to food

Hair is generally a good reflection of our health. A sick person unfortunately does not have dense and voluminous hair. By going less, you risk more hair loss if you are not feeding yourself properly.

Favor foods rich in zinc, magnesium, vitamin B, sulfur and potassium. Oats are a great food, as are wheat germ oil, pumpkin seeds, oily fish, or fresh garlic.

No mat too tight

It is good to make a braid before going to bed, to prevent the hair from rubbing too much on the pillow. But do not over-tighten your hairstyle, otherwise you will suffocate your hair and pull too much on the scalp, which may loose some hair in the process.

Choose the right brush

There is only one forbidden: we forget the plastic brush, with metal pins. There is nothing worse for breaking hair that is already fragile.

For the rest, it all depends on the nature of your hair. A boar bristle brush is perfect for straight hair. Wavy hair will have no problem with a natural wood brush. As for very curly hair, either do not brush it, or use a wooden or horn comb with very wide teeth. Preferably before the shower or when the hair is still very wet.

Wash your hair well

We obviously use the right products, but the right actions are also essential. Ideally, we wash our hair as little as possible, two to three times a week at most.

We massage our heads well when we apply the shampoo, and above all, we rinse well before getting out of the shower, otherwise we end up with sticky hair. You can also finish with a final rinse with cold water to stimulate the bulb a little.

Essential oils

Certain essential oils are known to take care of the hair or certain pathologies of the scalp. But be careful, you only need a few drops, always diluted in another product (hair oil, shampoo, conditioner).

Watch out for wet hair

As a general rule, brushing your hair when it is wet should be avoided at all costs, as it is much more brittle. The action is absolutely to be avoided if you have burnt hair due to discoloration: you risk breaking it too close to the root.

It is possible to brush them gently while they are still slightly damp, but it is best to wait for them to dry completely.

Protective spray

If you really have to use a protective spray, it is better to favor products based on ceramides and keratin. Ceramides can have a lipid-replenishing action on the skin and hair, and keratin is a protein that makes up 97% of the hair to protect it from external aggressions.

In most cases, it is best to avoid using products that heat up too high, as there is technically no natural way to protect hair so intensely.
