Healthy hair. How to keep hair beautiful
It is believed that frequent hair cutting makes them healthier and also makes them grow faster. This is nothing more than a myth. Haircut only makes it shorter, without affecting future length. The potential length and thickness of the hair depends on the state of their roots, which is mostly laid genetically and does not depend on outside intervention. In addition, in fact, the hair can not be neither healthy nor sick, because they are generally non-living. Good looking hair is determined by healthy hair follicles under the surface of the skin. Therefore, it is the nutrition of the follicles that leads to an improvement in the appearance of the hair. So, if your hair ends are not damaged, then the only reason for hair cutting should be your desire to look different.
Rules for improving the appearance of hair
There are a few simple rules to follow in order not to damage the follicles and improve the appearance of the hair:
- Take a multi-vitamin with minerals daily. Most of all, your hair needs zinc and biotin.
- You should not comb your hair with a comb for too long or hard to avoid damaging the follicles. Brush your hair as much as you need to get your hair done. Hair brush with natural bristles can be combed longer.
- Buy combs and hair brushes of good quality, without sharp plastic or metal teeth. Sharp teeth is one of the main reasons for the appearance of split hair.
- Do not save on your health, buy products for good quality hair. The chemicals used in most cheap shampoos and conditioners, even those produced by very well-known companies, contain very caustic ingredients, such as, for example, ammonium sulfate, which excessively dry hair and scalp, damage follicles and make hair brittle.

Recently, doctors and cosmetologists are inclined to believe that dandruff is caused by the microorganism Pityrosparum Ovale, which lives on the scalp. Its excess amount accelerates the process of skin renewal, that is, rejection of dead skin scales. The cells are peeled off before the completion of their natural life cycle. They do not have time to completely dehydrate and stick together, forming dandruff.
