What does hair health care include

The essence of hair health care is a full-link care that covers scalp ecological maintenance, hair shaft damage protection, and daily behavior adaptation. It cannot be accomplished by just relying on a certain Internet celebrity care product.

I met a girl who worked in Internet operations two years ago. After a three-month project, her hair was so oily that her hair was falling out. She immediately stocked up nearly a thousand yuan of anti-hair loss essence and strong oil-controlling shampoo. After washing her hair every day, she applied half a tube of the essence to her hairline. As a result, her dandruff broke out in less than two weeks, and she also developed a lot of red and swollen folliculitis. I went to the dermatology hospital for a check-up. It was found that the strong oil-controlling shampoo destroyed the scalp barrier, and the essence was too greasy and stuffed the hair follicles, causing the bacterial flora to become imbalanced. After all, the scalp is the "soil" of the hair. Many people's understanding of scalp care is still "the cleaner and cleaner the better". There is also the widely circulated saying that "silicone shampoo blocks hair follicles and causes cancer." In fact, the current clinical consensus in dermatology is that the molecular weight of silicone oil added in compliance with regulations is very high. It is large and will not penetrate into hair follicles at all. Instead, it can form a gentle moisturizing film on the surface of the scalp. It can reduce dry and itchy dandruff when used on dry or sensitive scalps. Only oily skin with extremely strong sebaceous gland secretion is more suitable for silicone-free cleansing formulas. There is no need to generalize.

After talking about the scalp, the growing hair itself must also be taken care of. Think about it, after hair grows from hair follicles, it is full of dead cells with no ability to repair, just like a wrought iron railing that has been exposed to the outside all year round. The wind and sun have scraped off the paint, and you can only rely on external coatings, and cannot grow new paint on your own. I had bleached my hair twice before, and the cuticles were fried like upturned fish scales, and felt like dry grass. At that time, every time I washed my hair, I had to put a hair mask on for half an hour, and I would apply hair care oil before blow-drying. It took almost half a year for my hair to become smooth again. Oh, yes, there is another saying that has been circulating for a long time: "Conditioner should never touch the scalp." In fact, it depends on the situation. If you have a dry scalp and are prone to dry dandruff, gently rub your scalp with a mild, mineral oil-free conditioner for more than ten seconds, which can relieve scalp dryness. If you have oily skin, don't join in the fun, as it will easily cause scalp acne.

Don’t think that you can sit back and relax if you choose the right hair care products. Many habits that damage your hair are hidden in the small details of your daily life. I had a colleague who wore a tight high-top ponytail every day. After half a year, her hairline moved back almost one centimeter. When she went to see a doctor, she was diagnosed with traction alopecia. It took almost a year for her hair to grow back into tiny, fine hairs. Some people like to go to bed with their hair wet, or blow dry their hair at the hottest setting all the time and blow hard at the roots. Over time, all the hair cuticles are lifted up, and the hair is so brittle that it breaks if pulled. I have to talk about the dietary therapy that everyone is concerned about. Many people say that eating black sesame seeds can turn white hair into black. There are currently not enough clinical studies to prove this effect. However, the vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids in black sesame seeds can indeed provide nutrition to the scalp. There is no harm in eating it as a snack. There is no need to expect that eating it for half a month will turn white hair black.

I have been through a lot of hair care pitfalls. The most expensive set of shampoo and conditioner cost nearly 2,000 yuan. After using half a bottle, I realized that it is not suitable for my oily scalp. The biggest feeling is that don’t believe in the gimmick of “growing silky hair with one trick”. First, you should understand your own scalp skin quality and hair damage, and then slowly adjust your habits. It is better than anything else.
