Hair tip care

Hair care is a daily work that lasts a lifetime. And the longer the hair, the more difficult and troublesome it is to take care of it. Almost all long-haired girls are familiar with dry hair and split ends. Why do hair ends become dry, brittle and split? First of all, due to a lack of nutrition from the inside (there may be a lack of vitamins, micro - and macro - elements) and they are most susceptible to the negative effects of the environment. Also, the condition of the hair ends is affected by improper care, dyeing, chemistry, drying with a hairdryer, styling with an iron and curling iron.

If you already have split ends, then there is only one way out - to cut! And after you cut the split ends, you need to thoroughly take care of their care to prevent them from cutting, and so:

How to maintain the beauty and health of your hair ends

1. Drink 1.5-2 liters of pure water per day (in small portions), not juice, tea, compote, but pure not cold water (after all, dry hair lacks moisture), the hair will be more moisturized, more nourished and a natural shine will appear.

2. Revise your diet, eat more vegetables, fruits, nuts and grains. Do not forget to eat olive, sunflower and other types of oils. If there are no contraindications, you can take one tablespoon of flaxseed oil on an empty stomach.

3. Choose a gentle shampoo, free of SLS and parabens, depending on your hair type. How to choose the right shampoo, you can read in this article How to choose the right shampoo for normal, dry and oily hair... Try to have several shampoos in your arsenal: one for frequent use and one for deeper cleaning, and do not forget to periodically (every six months) change the shampoo, not only from another series, but also from another manufacturer, fortunately, now there are so many of them , which cannot be counted. Do not wash all your hair with shampoo, only lather the roots, and when you wash off the shampoo, it will flow through the hair and rinse the length.

4. Do not wash your hair with hot water, it should be at a comfortable temperature, and at the end it is advisable to rinse with cool water to smooth the hair scales.

5. After each hair wash, use conditioners, conditioners and masks on the length of your hair. Today, manufacturers, especially professional cosmetics, offer a huge range of these products, where even the most popular consumer can choose the right product for their hair. pay attention to nutritious, moisturizing and restoring series, series for weakened hair containing proteins, keratin, oils ...

6. Rinse your hair with different herbal decoctions: chamomile, calamus, nettle, oak bark, hop cones, marigolds ...

7. Do not rub or curl wet hair, blot it a little with a towel and let it dry a little, try not to comb wet hair, but rather damp and special high-quality combs (natural bristle brushes, bone or wood combs, the famous tangle teezer).

8. If you can't imagine your life without a hair dryer, then choose a quality hair dryer with ionization function and different modes. But still, no matter how high-quality the hair dryer is, you should not dry your hair with too hot air and very close to the hair, you can dry your hair by about 80%, and then let it dry naturally. And of course, don't forget about thermal protection!

9. Leave-in products for hair ends: oils, serums, creams, fluids, crystals to be applied after each hair wash. After using such products, the ends of the hair become smooth, silky, shiny, soft to the touch, the hair will be easier to comb and style, and will acquire a well-groomed and healthy look.

• 1 teaspoon jojoba oil
• 8 drops of ylang ylang essential oil;
• 5 drops of vitamins A and E in oil (sold at the pharmacy).

The proportions of the oil can be changed depending on the length of the hair.

We mix all the ingredients, heat in a water bath in a glass dish. In a warm form, apply to the hair, stepping back from the hair roots (although this mask can be applied to the scalp, but I like it only for the length). We insulate the mask and leave it for at least 2 hours, or better overnight. The mask is washed off with shampoo (2-3 times). It is enough to do this mask once a week.

Vitamin hair mask

• 2 tablespoons of natural hair balm;
• 1 ampoule of niacin;
• 1 ampoule of aloe extract;
• 1 ampoule of vitamin B12;
• 1 ampoule of vitamin B1;
• 3-5 drops of vitamin A and E in oil.

We wash my head with a gentle shampoo (without sulfates and silicones), it is better to take a neutral one, for sensitive scalp. Dry your hair with a towel for a few minutes. We mix all the ingredients of the mask and apply first to the scalp, and then distribute to damp hair along the entire length, we insulate it, you can also warm it up with a hairdryer for the best effect. We keep the mask for one hour and wash it off with shampoo, it is enough to do it once a week. For a full course of hair restoration and strengthening, 10 procedures are enough. The first 5 masks are done once a week and 5 more masks are done every two weeks.

Avocado mask

• 1/2 part avocado
• 1-2 tablespoons of avocado oil.

You need to thoroughly knead half of the avocado (it is better to take overripe) and add oil to it, the consistency should turn out like a cream. The mask is applied to the length of the hair. After shampooing your hair, blot it with a towel and apply the mask, leave it on for 30-40 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water. The mask is great for dry, porous hair.

Protective spray with D-panthenol

An excellent replacement for purchased hair sprays and leave-in products, with a solid composition of usefulness.

• 100 ml decoction of chamomile or hop cones, oak bark, nettle;
• 5 ml. d-panthenol.

Add d-panthenol to the broth, pour it into a spray bottle, shake it, and you can spray it on the hair after each wash (at a distance of 20-30 cm).
D-panthenol moisturizes the hair well, thickens it, adds shine, restores its structure, and protects it from drying out. If you do not overdo it with application, it will not grease the hair, but it is better not to apply it to the roots.
