In the off-season, the hair will be weak. Cold temperatures and high humidity can leave hair dry and brittle. Also, the change of seasons can lead to severe hair loss.
wash them at the correct speed
Washing your hair too often can make it brittle. Conversely, not washing them adequately can suffocate them. How often you wash your hair depends largely on its nature. If they become oily due to excessive sebum production, it is advisable to wash your hair every other day or even daily. If they are dry, once a week will keep them from drying out further. Normal hair will rely on shampooing two to three times a week. Shampooing should be done for at least a few minutes to stimulate blood circulation and stimulate hair growth.
What kind of shampoo to choose?
It is necessary to favor sulfate-free and silicone-free shampoos to avoid weighing down the hair and to protect the environment. They must be soft and adapt to the nature of the hair: rebalancing and purifying oily hair based on nettle or citrus oils (lemon, orange, etc.), nourishing dry hair based on shea butter, argan oil or avocado oil, and regular Moisturizer for hair.
Matters needing attention
Conditioner and/or mask should be used regularly. They help detangle and style hair and deeply nourish hair. This smoothes the scales, limits the appearance of split ends and protects against the heat of the blow dryer.
Oil baths are also part of the treatment regimen to use once or twice a month, especially if your hair is dry, damaged, or has lost its vitality. It consists of applying one or more vegetable oils to the hair, with or without other active ingredients such as specific essential oils, and applying a hot towel to the hair for about 1 hour, or even overnight for a deep repair. Coconut, castor, or argan oils are the most commonly used oils for hair care.
brush selection
Brushes are very important to the health of our hair and must be chosen according to the type of hair and what we want to do with it. For tangles, a comb is best. For curly and fine hair, choose a boar bristle brush. For perfect brushing, the brush must be flat if you want smooth or round with volume.
adjust diet
Having beautiful hair requires a healthy diet. It must be rich in proteins, as these help form keratin, which makes up 95% of hair. So put it on the menu: fish, eggs, meat and whole grains. Zinc and copper also stimulate hair growth by promoting the assimilation of certain amino acids in keratin. Finally, vitamin A helps protect the hair fiber.
How do you do your hair?
The way you style your hair can affect its health. To protect them from chafing, wind and cold, opt for buns, braids or even ponytails, preferably secured with a pole or very flexible elastic to avoid “breaking” the hair.
