How to maintain healthy hair

In fact, there are really not so many fancy ways to maintain healthy hair. The core is to understand the properties of your own scalp and hair. Don't just follow the trend and buy Internet celebrity products. From cleaning, care to living habits, just follow your own conditions.

I encountered a lot of pitfalls when I first started working two years ago. When I saw the bloggers recommending lady hair masks and anti-hair loss serums, I would put them on my head with my eyes closed. As a result, my hair was so oily that I could cook, and I also developed a bunch of small folliculitis on my temples that were painful to the touch. It was only when I came to see a dermatologist that I realized that I had completely reversed the priority of care - the scalp is the "old root" of the hair, just like the soil for growing vegetables. If you just spray nutrient solution on the grass leaves, the soil will become stuffy, moldy and clumped. It's strange that the vegetables can grow well.

Oh, by the way, there is really no need to argue for a black-and-white standard answer to the current debate on the Internet about "whether you can wash your hair every day." My bestie has a typical oily skin. After a day of working in the field in the summer, her hair is so wet that it looks like she has just washed it. Using a mild amino acid shampoo every day makes her hair less oily and dry than before. My mother has a sensitive scalp that causes dandruff. In the winter in the north, her hair feels tight and itchy even after washing it twice a week. It is really anti-human to ask everyone to follow a certain frequency.

Before, I always tried to save trouble by squeezing the shampoo directly on the top of my head after washing my hair. Later I learned that it is best to rub the shampoo into the palm of my hand to make a dense foam and then press it on my scalp. I rub it in circles with my fingertips and do not scratch it with my nails. My nails used to scratch my scalp so much that it broke easily. After changing this little habit, the itchy scalp that had been bothering me for a long time has been mostly cured. When blow-drying my hair, I used to turn on the hottest setting and blow it until it was completely dry. During that time, the split ends at the ends of my hair grew longer and longer than weeds. Later, I heard from Tony, who I know well, that I only need to blow warm air until my scalp is 80% dry and leave the ends of my hair until they are no longer dripping. I then apply some hair care oil and squeeze it twice, which is better than the half-hour hair mask I used to do.

Many people also ask whether eating black sesame seeds can help blacken hair and prevent hair loss. I followed suit and bought two large cans of black sesame pills. After eating them, I gained three pounds and lost a few white hairs on my temples. Later, I asked my friends in the nutrition department and found out that if you have stayed up late recently and cannot keep up with your nutrition, the problem is If you have poor hair quality and a small amount of temporary gray hair, it is indeed helpful to supplement foods rich in beneficial fatty acids and trace elements such as black sesame seeds and nuts. However, if you have inherited juvenile gray hair or natural aging gray hair in old age, it will be useless no matter how much you eat. Don’t pay this IQ tax.

Last year I had a wool perm on impulse, and re-dyed it twice within half a year. My originally thick hair felt like hay, and the ends broke when I pulled it lightly. It took me almost a year to recover, but now it finally feels as smooth as before. To be honest, hair is much more delicate than your face. Don’t mess with it all the time. It will be more useful than any expensive care products you use.
