Hair care seems to be the most understandable and open topic. But why then, sometimes, we are not satisfied with our own curls?
It's simple because there are non-obvious hair care rules that we so often break. And instead we get the protest of strands in the form of dry ends, greasy roots, dull hair...
...let's not talk about the sad!
It is better to tell you about the basics of hair care in simple words. Also, let's list a few prohibited actions, which you definitely sometimes resort to without suspecting that this can be an obstacle to the health and beauty of your hair.
Let's immediately note that the length, color or structure of hair is absolutely not important for the beauty of the hair.
After reading this article, there will be no need to test 100500 products in order to choose the same worthy care.
So, read more carefully :-)
Unobvious rule №1 - Hot shower
Yes, we all enjoy a hot, relaxing, fatigue-busting hot shower (if you don't, sorry, you're the first person we've ever met). However, did you know that hot water can strip your hair of its natural oils? And this really harms it and leads to dryness, brittleness, dullness. Also, if you suffer from unruly and tangled hair, also remember the temperature of the water.
So, an obvious recommendation from us is to wash your head with warm water. And just to be safe, you can rinse your hair with room temperature water after washing (note, not cold, because that's not ok either). This is in order to close the hair cuticle and preserve natural moisture and elasticity in the hair.
Unobvious rule №2 - Cleanliness of accessories
If you suffer from quickly dirty hair, unpleasant odor and oily scalp, focus and read on. Of course, it can be because you have this type of hair and scalp, so to speak, because of genetics. Or maybe it's because you forget to take care of your comb and other hair care accessories.
The following obvious recommendation from us comes to the fore. More precisely, a few recommendations.
Always clean the brush or comb of hair residues, and once a week wash them with soap or shampoo. This will prevent the growth of bacteria on the brush, which usually irritate the scalp and damage the hair follicle when it gets on the scalp.
Make sure that the brush is soft and its teeth are smooth and undamaged. Because otherwise, when combing, worn teeth can damage the hair structure and pull it out. As soon as you see that the brush has served its purpose, let it go for a well-deserved rest and treat yourself to a brand new one.
Hair dryers, curling irons and other gadgets should also be cleaned periodically. Just imagine how much residue of styling and care products can accumulate on them. We assure you, once you start cleaning your devices, you will see the difference.
Unobvious rule №3 - Friction
Hair friction is an aggressive physical impact of tight hairstyles, hard accessories, and inelastic rubber bands. All this creates stress for the hair, which can affect its loss and brittleness. And the most aggressive friction is rubbing wet hair with a towel. When you do this, the cuticles of the hair peel off and stop sticking to each other. Then the hair loses its natural moisture, becomes brittle and dull.
The obvious recommendation for hairstyles and accessories is as follows - do not overload yourself, make tight hairstyles only on special occasions, and in everyday life prefer freedom, naturalness and naturalness.
And after washing the hair, it is better to simply wet it with a towel, or even better, to collect it in a turban for hair, leave it for a few minutes and only then proceed to styling. Such a simple but very important step can change the condition of the hair. Of course not at once. Regularity will be needed here. Just develop such a habit.
Patience, regularity and hair care are the keys to beauty and shine.
Unobvious rule № 4 - Haircut
A haircut is not only about aesthetics and style. It is also about regular renewal of hair tips.
Getting a haircut once a year is a serious crime against your beauty. Of course, if you have a haircut with long hair and it does not need frequent updating, then the best option would be a visit to the hairdresser once every 2-3 months. It is natural that from time to time the ends of the hair begin to split. Then, if the tips are not renewed in time, the damaged hair cuticle will peel off higher and higher. And this will eventually lead to deterioration of the condition of the hair. And do we need it?
An obvious recommendation from us, two to be exact. The first is to update your haircut at the hairdresser's in time while the damage is minimal. The second rule is to add nourishing hair oil to your home care.
Oil is the simplest and at the same time the most effective way to protect the tips from injury, drying and cutting. Just a couple of drops rubbed in the palms and transferred to the strands work wonders.
Next, about the use of oil, read the most concentrated! Because sometimes girls use this product not quite correctly and make the wrong conclusion for themselves that the oil is not their product. So, in the case of hair nourishment, the oil should be applied first on the palms, and then evenly transferred only to the ends. If you have long, damaged or porous hair, the maximum that can be done is to apply the oil to the level of the ears. Otherwise, if applied to the entire length or to the scalp, the hairstyle will at best simply lose volume, and at worst will look stale.
P.S. Yes, there is a way to apply Hair Oil to the scalp, but this is a completely different rule, the following.
Unobvious rule №5 - The scalp needs another care
As it turned out, few people think about it, and an even smaller percentage of people pay special attention to scalp care. How does it work and what can it be? We tell you!
It's not about shampoo (although most people immediately think so). Of course, shampoo is important in care and its mission is only to wash off dirt.
It is about exfoliating dead cells and nourishing the scalp. It is these steps that ensure the growth of shiny, obedient, strong, healthy hair.
Exfoliation - exfoliation of dead cells - can be done with special peelings or a scalp scrub. Read about how to use the Scrub here (click).
Nutrition of the scalp can be ensured with the help of classic hair oil or magnesium oil (this is a completely unique and incredibly effective product).
There are a large number of oils on the market, and when choosing, you just need to pay attention to the composition. If you see magnesium, argan, castor oil, and/or verbena or grape seed oil among the ingredients, that's it. You can order. The task of oils, when we apply them to the scalp, is to restore and saturate the skin with useful components that will affect hair growth and health. Everything is simple and clear.
Let's not explain the actual application for a long time, for those who are interested, follow the link: about Restorative Oil for Hair here, and about Magnesium oil here.
Just note that we have the following obvious recommendation for you - 15-20 minutes with an oil mask once every 7-14 days and you will be able to enjoy the beauty of your hair forever.
Unobvious rule №6 - A minimum of products, a maximum of benefits
What do we mean? First of all, various products for styling and fixing hair. Of course, we do not convince you to completely give up all this, and agree, sometimes it is possible to minimize. Also, not only excessive use of styling products can harm hair, but also care products. When choosing a shampoo and balm, you should study the ingredients. If you trust reviews, review them and remember that this is subjective information. Note that price does not always equal quality. Do not experiment too often by constantly changing the means.
Sulfate-free shampoos and sulfate-free balms are considered the most gentle on hair.
Sulfate-free shampoo gently and thoroughly cleanses, while not washing away useful substances and natural oils from the hair. And sulfate-free balms saturate the strands, close the cuticle, so that all the benefits work for the benefit of the hair.
And remember, hair care is not only about using care products, but also about a conscious and careful approach to this issue.
So, obviously, we recommend the HairMag Magnesium Goods series for regular care, because as manufacturers, we are 100% confident in it.
