The most common activity performed when caring for a hairstyle is washing the hair. The first and most basic consumer mistake is the wrong choice of shampoo. When visiting the drugstore, it is important to pay attention to product labels, which are mislabelled. For example, shampoo for oily hair should actually be called shampoo for oily scalp. It's also worth mentioning that you should only use this shampoo on your scalp and massage it gently. What about the lengths of your hair? The lather that falls from the scalp cleanses the hair shaft.
After cleansing, an essential element is the conditioner and mask. According to the manufacturers' names, we can divide these products into: moisturising, rebuilding and nourishing. The first of these are products with a predominance of humectants, which ensure moisturisation and provide the right amount of hygroscopic ingredients to the hair. The second, on the other hand, are usually products containing proteins and amino acids such as keratin, elastin, collagen, cysteine and many others. These are elements that build in between the hair shaft cavities and have the aforementioned reconstructive effect. The last type - nourishing - is characterised by a rich content of oils and waxes, including mineral oils such as paraffin. These are products that usually discipline the hair style and add weight to the hair strands. All categories of these key ingredients are needed for the hair to look its best. It is also worth remembering to apply conditioner or mask from the ear downwards.
Proper home care also means caring for the ends of the hair and the scalp. The ends of the hair are the last part of the hair, often several years old. It is therefore usually the most damaged. It should be cared for by applying a suitable serum to the ends, preferably a silicone serum, which covers them with a thin protective film. It is important to note here that split ends are something that no cosmetic product can cope with and it is not worth believing the manufacturer's promises, the only thing left is a haircut.
Scalp care is something we tend to forget about and is usually limited to shampooing. Just because you don't feel any discomfort doesn't mean you shouldn't take care of it. It is important to remember that the scalp is where hair grows, so if the scalp is not nourished, dry and tight, hair will not look good either. The scalp can be helped by products such as lotions, tonics and scalp packs. These products have a targeted action on a specific problem, but there are also products that can be used every day with benefits. Just make sure the products are water-based, not alcohol-based. During application, a gentle massage is performed which, in addition to stimulating the hair roots, has excellent relaxing properties.
Beautiful hair is the business card of everyone, both women and men, and to enjoy it, it's worth taking a moment of your free time!
