Hair care requires less money than facial skin care. However, here too stages are highlighted that must be followed in the correct sequence. Hair needs both minimum good cleansing and protection from negative external factors. The first function is performed by shampoos, the second - balms and conditioners.
If the hair is damaged, additional products for restoration are connected to the main care - masks. As practice shows, almost every girl has dry hair, brittleness, section tips or thinning. Therefore, masks for many have already become elements of compulsory care.
But hair care is not limited to these products. There are also various
leave-in products, scalp peels, serums, sprays, even hair creams. All you need be able to correctly select and use.
How to choose a shampoo?
The main task of shampoo is to cleanse the scalp and hair from impurities. You need to select a product in
primarily by skin type. If your scalp is oily, deep cleansing shampoos with components aimed at controlling the sebaceous glands. For dry skin, softer products with moisturizing properties.
Depending on the composition, the shampoo can help restore hair, strengthen the roots, fight hair loss, dandruff. And yet, the main function remains cleansing. Therefore, the key components of shampoos are surfactants. It is they who give the product the ability to foam and cleanse.
The most popular and strongest surfactants are sulfates. These include the well-known lauryl and laureth sulfate sodium. Many people do not trust sulfates, believing that these components dry out and injure the skin and hair. But this is a misconception. By themselves, sulfates are not harmful, on the contrary, they are able to cope with pollution is much better than other surfactants. At the same time, due to more intensive cleansing, sulfates are easier
wash hair dye or composition for keratin straightening. Of course, this is an undesirable effect.
Therefore, girls often resort to sulfate-free shampoos. These shampoos contain more mild surfactants that are less aggressive. But they also do not cleanse as good as sulfate shampoos. Therefore, after prolonged use, exclusively sulfate-free shampoos, people often experience dandruff or oily seborrhea. A dilemma arises - what to do?
Hair care experts recommend that fans of sulfate-free shampoos at least once every use a remedy with sulfates for a week. This avoids the consequences of insufficient cleansing, while the main shampoo remains a mild product without sulfates. This option is ideal after keratin straightening, hair botox or coloring.
Why do you need a head peeling?
Peeling, or exfoliation, is another step in cleansing the scalp. One shampoo (even sulfate) not enough, because the skin tends to renew itself. Dead cells are detached from the epidermis and
settle on the surface of the skin. Shampoo doesn't wash them out - it's just not designed for that. To cleanse the scalp from dead particles, special scrubs and peels are needed.
Scrubs and peels are applied exclusively to the scalp. After a little massage with your fingers, the hair rinse well with water to rinse off food residues.
Like shampoos, scalp peels are a must. Horny without peeling
scales will accumulate on the surface, provoke dandruff and oily skin. Use exfoliating products are needed once a week.
Hair masks - a must or not?
Masks are the most concentrated hair care products. They contain active ingredients, which can penetrate the hair structure. It is the masks that help restore curls after staining, chemical procedures, and other damage. If you are worried about thinning hairs,
dryness, brittleness, section, then you cannot do without masks.
As part of hair masks, amino acids, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, keratin are used, collagen, vegetable oils, extracts, peptides and other useful components. Depending on the composition of the mask can work to moisturize, nourish, restore or protect the hair.
