Hector The essence of healthy hair care is systemic care covering three dimensions: scalp ecological maintenance, hair damage protection, and body condition regulation. It cannot be achieved by just relying on a few Internet celebrity care products.
I have been working in the hair care industry for almost six years, and I have seen too many people equate hair care with applying conditioner and essential oil to the ends of the hair. I once received a young girl who had just entered college. She saved up half a month's living expenses to buy imported hair mask essential oil. Every time she washed her hair, the ends of her hair were thickly paste, but her scalp was rubbed twice in a row with a soap-based shampoo with strong cleaning power. When doing a scalp test, the entire forehead My scalp is red and sensitive, with so much dandruff appearing just half a day after washing, and almost 200 strands of hair are falling out every day. This is a typical example of losing the focus of maintenance. Think about it, the scalp is the soil where hair grows. The pH of the soil is imbalanced, the flora is disordered, and the cuticle is damaged. No matter how much nutrition is provided to the hair ends, the quality of the new hair itself will be poor and it is easy to fall off prematurely. Speaking of which, I have to mention that there is a lot of quarrel on the Internet about the frequency of hair washing. Some people say that you must wash your hair every day or it will clog the pores. Some people say that washing too much will damage the cuticle. In fact, there is really no unified standard. If you have oily skin in summer, it is perfectly fine to wash it once a day with a mild amino acid shampoo. It is If you have dry skin or a sensitive scalp, it is not dirty if you wash it every three or four days. There is no need to hold on to the oil until it makes you itchy and dare not wash it. This includes scalp scrubs that have been popular in the past two years. If you have healthy oily skin, you can use it once a week to remove old dead skin cells. However, if you use it with sensitive skin, it will only aggravate the redness and inflammation and put a burden on the scalp.
After solving the "root" problem of the scalp, it is now time to take care of the grown hair. Many businesses claim to "deeply repair the hair core" and "bring damaged hair back to its original state", but don't take it seriously. The grown hair is essentially dead keratin and has no self-repair ability. All hair care operations are actually "repairing the problem" - after perming and dyeing, the hair scales become warped like little hedgehogs with fried hair. The oils and care ingredients in conditioners and hair masks temporarily smooth these warped hair scales, fill the holes on the surface of the hair, and reduce the breakage and split ends caused by friction. My best friend bleached her hair three times last year to dye her hair light blonde. The ends were so brittle that they broke when pulled. She bought a bunch of sprays that claimed to be "one-second repair". After spraying them, they were so smooth that they went back to their original shape as soon as they were wet. Later, I heard that I use a hair spray every time I wash my hair. Wrap an egg white hair mask in the heat and steam it for 20 minutes. I usually apply heat-insulating essential oil before blow-drying my hair. After almost half a year, the ends of my hair finally stopped breaking. There is really no shortcut to this. Just continue to provide "physical protection" to your hair and reduce external damage, which is more than half the battle.
Of course, if you stay up until two or three o'clock every day, eating high-fat and high-sugar milk tea and barbecuing every meal, even if you take good care of your scalp and hair, the condition of your hair will not be much better. A boy who works in Internet operations came to me before and said that he had used up three bottles of anti-hair loss shampoo that cost several thousand yuan. The hair gap was still wide enough to insert a finger. I saw that the dark circles under his eyes were about to fall to his chin. When I asked, I found out that he worked on projects until two or three in the morning. His afternoon tea was all milk tea and cakes. I told him not to worry about it. When deciding which anti-hair loss product to buy, he first tried to go to bed before 12 o'clock, replace milk tea with sugar-free, and eat more lean meat and eggs. He went back to try it for more than three months with some hesitation, and massaged his scalp with a mild anti-hair loss essence. When he came for a review last time, the amount of hair loss was reduced by one-third, and the newly grown strands were also much stronger. I'm not being alarmist. The hormone levels and nutrient intake in your body will all be reflected in your hair. Many people go on a diet and lose weight and do not eat meat. Soon their hair becomes thin, yellow and falls out. This is because of the lack of protein and trace elements needed to synthesize keratin. The scalp has no raw materials to grow hair, and the natural state cannot be improved.
After working in this industry for so long, I feel that there is really no mysterious way to maintain hair. Don't listen to Internet celebrities and buy a bunch of useless products. First, find out whether you have a scalp problem, hair damage, or lifestyle habits that are holding you back. Adjusting to the symptoms is better than anything else.
