Hairdressing visits are an integral part of almost every girl's life. After the salon, our hair becomes smooth, shiny and radiate health. But after a few days, the miraculous effect disappears, and the curls, as a rule, take on their usual appearance.
However, the hair can be maintained in excellent condition and without the help of a hairdresser. For complete home hair care, we are armed with common sense, grandma's recipes and modern technologies.
How to care for hair at home
The main rule of home hair care is its regularity. If you thoroughly do your hair only once a month, do not expect a noticeable effect. Much more productive will be small procedures, but carried out daily or at least 2-3 times a week.
If you want a quick result, you need to approach the process of home hair care in a comprehensive way: pay attention to your diet, washing and drying your hair, choosing the right cosmetics.
Hair washing
When washing hair, shampoo should be applied twice. For the first time, the main dust and dirt is washed off, and the second helps to thoroughly cleanse the scalp. Wash your head with gentle massaging movements in the direction of hair growth: from the roots to the tips.
After washing, it is advisable to rinse your head with a solution of vinegar for shine or decoction of herbs. Very useful for hair nettle, chamomile, yarrow, oak bark, etc.
An important component of hair care at home - the choice of shampoo. If the hair wash dries your curls, and the scalp quickly becomes oily - it does not suit you. When choosing a shampoo, use the recommendations of your hairdresser.
How to dry hair
It is desirable not to expose the hair at all to a hair dryer and to dry it in a natural way.
- After washing your hair, slightly squeeze your curls to get rid of excess moisture, then wrap them with a towel and leave to dry for 10 minutes. Remove the towel and let the hair dry completely.
- Do not comb wet hair.
- If you are still forced to blow dry and style your hair, set the minimum temperature and the concentrator head on it.
- Do not blow dry your hair immediately after washing, and only when they dry out a bit.
- Direct the air stream in the direction of hair growth, and not perpendicular to it.
- First dry the roots, and only then move to the tips.
Do not hurt your hair
Do not lean on styling products, do not abuse staining, hair extensions, chemical perm. Whatever the visual effect of these procedures, they severely injure and weaken the hair. Too hairstyles, permanent injuries to the scalp can also cause significant damage to hair.
Masks to strengthen hair
A deeper effect can be achieved using a variety of professional and homemade hair masks. They must be applied 1-2 times a week for a couple of months.
There are a lot of recipes for homemade masks, often for their preparation kefir, mayonnaise, various vegetable oils, honey, eggs, vitamins in capsules and herbs are used. The mixture for the mask must be fresh. It is applied to the hair over the entire length, put on a cap, wrap a head with a towel and leave for half an hour or an hour.
One of the most popular and easiest to prepare is kefir hair mask. For her, you need kefir high fat. Heat it to room temperature, apply over the entire length of hair. After an hour, rinse with warm water and rinse the curls with a solution of vinegar or water with lemon juice to discourage the kefir odor.
From professional hair care products at home, you can use the ALERANA ® intensive nutrition mask. It perfectly strengthens and moisturizes the hair, prevents hair loss and stimulates growth.
Secrets of gorgeous hair for blondes! Restoring hair structure in 1 month!
It is no secret that hair care for blondes, brunettes and brown-haired women is different. I'll tell you about my hair care secrets, which allowed me to have gorgeous hair.
My natural color is medium blond, but I often did the milling, thereby burning my hair. Result: burnt hair, broken off at the ends, falling out during combing.
I want to immediately note that to restore the hair at once will not work, we need a comprehensive approach and constant care.
Here is my plan for the restoration of hair structure, calculated for 1 month:
1) Vitamins AEVIT - saw one capsule per day for a month. The price is about 50 rubles. Increasing the dosage and use in conjunction with other vitamins is not recommended.
2) Masks for hair, made 2 times a week for a month, then reduced to 1 time a week.
The most effective masks I would call a mask with oils. I mixed coconut oil with olive oil, put it on dry hair over the entire length, wrapped it in a towel and walked for 1 hour. Then she washed well with shampoo several times, applied conditioner and washed it again. After the mask, I tried not to blow dry my hair. Therefore, choosing a time when she could be at home.
Mask with oils restores hair well, but makes the color of blondes darker.
Therefore, the second mask, which I did, was designed to strengthen and brighten the hair - this is kefir mask.
To do this, I just bought kefir in the store, kept it at room temperature (so that it was not very cold) and applied it to dry hair along the entire length. Kefir in 10 minutes after application will begin to flow, so you need to wrap your head tight. With a mask to walk an hour and wash off with shampoo.
3) Before drying the hair with a hair dryer, I put MATRIX oil on my hair (the price is about 1000 r.). I like. Here is my review about this oil:
4) 1 time in 2 weeks, I added a couple of drops of Ylang-Ylang essential oil to the shampoo, applied it on my head and held it for a couple of minutes, then washed it off. The fragrance is an amateur, but for the health of the hair can be tolerated)
5) Reduce blow-dry and ironing (if possible).
For a month, performing these items, I noticed how my hair became more alive, stopped breaking and falling out, the color became more saturated and noble.
You can’t stop at this; I will continue to care for my hair. And I advise you!
Alarming symptoms
Everything must be done on time. Do not wait until the hair is very thin or turn into a dull lifeless tow. The sooner treatment and prophylactic measures are taken to restore it, the better you can expect.
Here are the first disturbing symptoms that clearly indicate that hair requires extra care and restoration:
- strong burnout in the sun
- feeling of dry hair and skin,
- noticeable loss of elasticity
- itching and dandruff
- the tips are dry and bitten,
- More than 50 hairs remain on the comb,
- even the sun doesn’t shine
- hair became porous,
- the paint is quickly washed out
- styling keeps bad.
Important! Definitely intensive hair restoration at home is necessary after dyeing (especially lightening!) And chemical perm.
Highlighting does not so much damage the hair, but it is also performed using a large percentage of the oxidizer. Does not interfere with feeding and curing hair that is regularly subjected to hot styling. This will prevent breakage and further damage.
Causes of damage
Experts share the causes of hair damage to the external and internal. But this is very conditional, since everything is connected in the body, and some factors influence others. Therefore, we simply list the main ones:
- high and low temperatures or their contrast,
- ultraviolet radiation - the sun, solarium,
- bad weather conditions: strong wind, high humidity,
- regular dyeing and frequent thermolining,
- bad habits: smoking, alcohol, drugs,
- hormonal disorders,
- diseases of internal organs
- pregnancy and lactation,
- cancer, autoimmune and systemic diseases.
Often they connect the wrong care and poor nutrition, in which there is a lack of vitamins and minerals.
Home recovery
In good salons, even very damaged hair can be restored in just 1-2 procedures. They use masks with liquid keratin, which is “imprinted” in the hair shaft or other high-tech formulations.
Express home restoration is not possible. To obtain a stable tangible result, you will have to be patient and approach the solution of the problem in a comprehensive manner.
Proper care
The basis of hair care is proper care. Many still believe that washing your hair often is harmful. This is a misconception, but using the wrong shampoo can spoil your hair a lot.
Here are some tips on how to make shampooing a pleasant and useful procedure:
- if you often wash your hair, then buy shampoos for daily use,
- be sure to consider the type of hair - in a good shampoo there are additional caring ingredients,
- do not pour the shampoo directly on the head - make a small amount of it on wet palms and distribute the foam along the length,
- soaping your hair several times is necessary only with very strong pollution,
- do not leave the shampoo for a long time on the scalp - it irritates and dries it,
- Be sure to use conditioner or conditioner balsam - it will neutralize alkali residues and restore the pH balance,
- after washing, do not rub their heads, but gently blot them with a towel to remove excess moisture.
Important! Sulfate-free shampoos are becoming increasingly popular. But they have certain disadvantages, so they are not suitable for everyone.
Equally important is the ability to properly dry the washed hair. It is better to let her do it naturally. But it is impossible to go to bed with a wet head - pathogenic microorganisms are actively developing in warmth and moisture, and long curls can dry almost until the morning.
When combing wet hair is very damaged their structure. They become brittle, strongly split at the ends and can start to fall out. Therefore, first let the hair dry a little.
Short hair combed from the roots, and medium and long - from the tips. No sharp, jerking movements. If they are very confused, gently separate the strands with your hands.
Drying your hair with a hair dryer is necessary in medium conditions. Too hot air dehydrates the skin, provokes dandruff and hyperactivity of the sebaceous glands. At the end, be sure to turn on the cold air for a couple of minutes - it will help to close the hair scales and restore shine to the hair.
Nutritional intake
Healthy hair needs vitamins. And it is better if they are obtained from food, and not pharmaceutical drugs. Even doctors recommend a course of vitamin therapy in the offseason or after serious diseases that greatly weaken the immune system.
But throughout the year your table should be:
- fresh fruits and vegetables - a source of vitamins and minerals,
- lactic products: kefir, yogurt, yogurt - a source of calcium and lactic acid,
- fish and seafood - they have a lot of iodine, without which the thyroid gland and phosphorus do not work,
- bran bread, durum wheat pasta, cereal - the main suppliers of B vitamins,
- dietary meats - contain essential amino acids, including those that are part of hair,
- nuts and seeds - they have unsaturated fatty acids that make hair smooth and shiny.
And, of course, it is necessary to minimize the consumption of semi-finished products, preservatives and products with a large amount of fat and sugar. This adjustment of the diet will be useful for the whole body.
Regenerating masks
The best way to restore damaged hair at home - masks. Today you can find thousands of old and new recipes. Therefore, we present only a few of the most popular and simple components that include components available to everyone:
- Honey with aloe. This combination of two unique natural substances has a powerful healing power. It is able to bring to life even heavily damaged hair and stimulate the growth of new ones. Mix honey in half with pulp or aloe juice, apply a mask on the hair roots, then spread evenly over the entire length. Wrap with cellophane, leave for 2-3 hours, rinse with water with a small amount of shampoo.
- Kefir-bread. The flesh of black bread pour kefir and leave for a couple of hours to make gruel. Put it on the hair and tightly wrap the head with cellophane, and on top - with a towel. Rinse without shampoo after 1-2 hours with pleasantly cool water (so that the yogurt does not curl).
- Ether-salt. Perfect for very greasy hair. It is better to use sea salt of finely ground and essential oils of rosemary, ylang-ylang, sage, cloves, cinnamon, peppermint. On a tablespoon of salt, drip 10-15 drops of oil and mix well. Salt gently applied to the scalp parting, it is very easy to massage with your fingers, wrap in cellophane, leave for 30-40 minutes (no more!). Wash off with lukewarm water.
It is even easier to regularly rinse your head with broths of medicinal herbs: burdock root, sage, chamomile, birch buds, etc.
It is possible to enrich with liquid vitamins (from ampoules or capsules) and habitual ready-made masks. But in any case they contain harmful chemical components. So we recommend to give preference to proven natural recipes.
Useful procedures
But nourishing masks are not the only means to restore hair at home. There are other useful procedures that you can regularly do at home:
- Darsonval. This device has a positive effect on the scalp: it improves blood circulation, stimulates regeneration, prevents hair loss, has an antibacterial and antifungal effect. The device is equipped with a special nozzle in the form of a comb. But you must strictly follow the instructions and comply with safety regulations.
- Massage. Even self-made finger-pads massage of the scalp is extremely useful. It improves blood circulation, accelerates hair growth helps to get rid of itching and dandruff. It is better to do it before washing your head or at night using natural oils (peach, burdock, almond, grape seed).
- Peeling. This is a deep cleansing of hair and scalp from dead cells and dirt microparticles. It can be done using ready-made formulations or you can make it yourself from coffee or clay. Important - the movements should be as delicate as possible so as not to damage the hair and not scratch the skin.
Remember that lasting results give only a course of 10-15 home procedures performed 2-3 times a week. If using them to restore the hair still fails, it makes sense to go to a cosmetologist who will suggest more intensive hardware techniques.
Little secrets
Experienced hairdressers know little secrets that will make daily hair care even better:
- you cannot overload hair with nutrients: masks are used no more than once every 2-3 days,
- if a couple of times a day sprayed with greasy hair (1: 3) with freshly squeezed lemon juice, they will not be quickly salted and get a beautiful shine,
- just a few drops of essential oils (ylang-ylang, rosemary, lavender, mint, sage, orange, rose, eucalyptus), added to the balm or mask, can significantly enhance the effect of them,
- the sun is the main enemy of hair, in the summer it is necessary to hide hair or use products with a UV filter,
- a small amount of apple cider vinegar can soften hard water, especially since it is very beneficial for the scalp,
- Before dyeing and lightening, it is better not to wash your hair for at least a day - this will protect the curls from severe damage.
And do not forget that even long hair should be cut at least 3-4 times a year. This will save you from broken ends, allow you to adjust the shape and make your head well-groomed. So make friends with a good hairdresser and your hair will always look 100%!
What to do if the hair is dry
The reason for the appearance of dry hair is trivially simple - lack of oil in the diet. If you do not pay close attention to this problem in a timely manner, dandruff and split hair are guaranteed in the near future.
Only regular massage with scalp oil can save you from such a joyless perspective. To do this, take a little olive or almond oil and slightly warm it. Then the oil should be rubbed into the scalp and proceed directly to the massage itself. Start doing it from the top of your head using the following two techniques. Press your fingers to the skin and lock them in this position, then start making head movements. Then lightly rub the skin with your fingers, ensuring a slightly tingling sensation. Slowly move your hands from the forehead to the ears, to the back of the head and gradually lower them down to the back of the neck. The massage should last at least 15 minutes. After that, cover the hair with a plastic bag to save heat and its rapid penetration into the epidermis. It would be very useful to stock up with two or three napkins, preheated over water vapor, and put these napkins on top of a plastic bag. Due to this, the scalp will warm up even more and absorb oil better. After half an hour, rinse your head with a shikakai balm. The recipe for its preparation is very simple: take 1 glass with shikakai seeds and pour the contents into a saucepan. Pour 6 glasses of water into it, boil the contents and simmer until the seeds have melted. Cool the mixture and beat it until foam is formed on the surface. Throw the contents of the pan into a colander and use the remaining mass instead of soap for washing your hair. If desired, you can make shikakai seed soap.
Dry hair is not recommended to make a permanent, and also to dye or lighten. Gently comb the hair from the roots to the ends and smooth them with a soft brush to give them life. Try to spend as little time as possible under the scorching rays of the sun bareheaded. If you swim in the pool, always wear a bathing cap. Make it a rule to add 2 or 3 tablespoons of butter, ghee or vegetable oil to soup, rice and milk every day. In addition, take vitamins A and E, produced in the form of tablets.
What to do if hair is greasy
As a rule, if the skin is oily, then the hair is greasy. You should hardly stop washing your hair daily, as the day is near when the problem of combating dandruff and other scalp infections becomes relevant.
To keep it clean, wash your hair with tincture prepared from fuller's earth (bleaching clay), diluted in warm water. (Very hot water contributes to even greater oiliness.) Immerse a large piece of brown clay in a container of water. As soon as it softens, add juice squeezed from a large lime fruit into the water. The resulting balm must be thoroughly rubbed into the scalp. After half an hour, rinse your head with warm, then cold water. In conclusion, rinse your hair with a solution to which you add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or lime juice. You can wash off not only the excess oil, but your hair will get extra coolness on a hot, summer day. In addition, this simple procedure will prevent the appearance of hemorrhage and protect you from sunstroke. Ground peas perfectly fights against the greasiness of the hair, and the recipe for the preparation of a therapeutic agent from it is similar to the one above. Try to exclude from your diet spices, roasted meat and spicy dishes.
How to deal with damaged and split hair
Damaged and split hairs result from overuse of brightening, dyeing, highlighting, drying and curling hair. If the tips of the hair are split into three parts, then this process is called the truncation of the hair. To avoid the process of further delamination, they should be trimmed from time to time.
The best treatment for split ends is massage with egg shampoo. To make it, you need to take 1 egg, 3 tablespoons of lime juice or apple cider vinegar and a pinch of salt, after which all the ingredients are placed in a blender. Then you should add a quarter glass of olive oil, close the blender with a lid, turn it on at the fastest turnovers and beat the mixture until it mixes well. You will need to switch the blender to low speed to open the lid and slowly pour in a thin stream of three-quarters cup of oil. Light touches of fingers rub this balm into the scalp, and after half an hour, rinse the hair with water. Weekly performance of this medical procedure guarantees the hair flexibility and radiant shine.
To restore the appearance of seriously damaged and injured hair, take 1 cup of honey, add half a glass of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of lime juice to it. Pour the mixture into a jug and let it brew for two or three days. Balm should be rubbed into the scalp and lubricated with the hair roots, and only then you should comb them with a rare comb. Massage your hair again, then cover your head with a plastic bag and fold its edges inwards so as not to lose any heat calories, and put two or three pre-warmed napkins on top of it. After half an hour, rinse your head with a tincture of shikakai seeds. Performing this medical procedure will not only improve the health of the hair, but also give it a blooming and brilliant look.
What to do if hair is sparse
The most effective way to grow hair is regular massage and combing. This is best done as follows. First, run your palms through the hair, lightly pressing on them with your fingers. The palm should move parallel to the scalp and at the lowest point of the trajectory beneath it should be collected strands of hair. Press it again with your palm, then moving it back, continue to massage the entire scalp in this way. This exercise enhances the blood supply to the hair roots, improves their nutrition and thereby contributes to their growth.
Another equally effective way is to regularly comb your hair with a good comb. And your choice should be stopped on a brush for hair that suits them best. It should be easy to handle and not scratch the scalp. Otherwise, sooner or later, scratches will cause early hair loss or alopecia. The movements during combing should be uniform and cover as large a region as possible, begin in the center and end at the ends of the hair. The sequence should be the following: start combing the head from the back of your head and slowly, in a circle, continue to do this until you return to the starting point. The movements of the hand with the comb should be directed from the roots of the hair to their ends and it is very important not to miss a single part of the head. Thanks to this, not only hair growth will increase, but also the scalp will be relieved, and the body - calm.
An excellent means of promoting hair growth is castor oil. Liberally lubricate their head and rub their skin and hair. Then comb them, thus evenly distributing the oil over the entire surface. Wrap your head in a plastic bag and place a hot, wet towel on top. After half an hour, wash your hair with a balm or soap made from shikakai. When washing your head it is very good to add apple cider vinegar or lime juice to the water. The procedure should be carried out once a week and until the first signs of improving their growth appear. Additionally, you can recommend to go on a diet that contains all the healthy trace elements for healthy hair. Eat more protein-rich foods; don't forget about vitamins A, B, C, and L.
In some cases, hair begins to fall out due to nerve overstrain, which causes muscle contraction, which in turn leads to a narrowing of blood vessels supplying nutrients to the hair roots. , and as a result, to the “hungry soldering” of the scalp. Calcium from ancient times is known as a sedative for shaky nerves. Take a few of his pills at night, drink them down with warm milk and honey mixed with it, and good sleep is guaranteed. Often, the lack of vital calcium in the body causes unreasonable agitation and tension throughout the body. To make another effective hair loss remedy, cut a medium-sized bulb and put it in a glass of rum and let it brew throughout the day. Then you need to remove the onion from the glass and pour the tincture into a bottle. Massage the cola head every evening until the hair loss stops, and only then proceed to the procedures once a week.
What to do if the hair is thin
Usually thin hair is very weak and differ in the property of sticking to the head. To prepare an effective means to combat this disease, take 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of castor oil, 1 teaspoon of vinegar and the same amount of glycerin. Mix all ingredients in an electric blender. Ready balm rub into the scalp. Put a cellophane cap on your head, wrap hot towels over it and let your skin warm for half an hour. As a result, the hair will not only be thicker and stronger, but the visual effect of increasing their volume, as well as natural radiance, will appear, and they will also become more docile.
Your attention is invited to the recipe of another healing tool. Take 1 egg, 1 teaspoon honey and 2 teaspoons coconut oil. Mix all the ingredients and rub them well into the scalp. Then warm it with hot and wet wipes and wash hair with shampoo. Especially useful this procedure may be for not very thick hair with a pronounced tendency to hair loss and brittleness. To some extent, this can be called a feat, because constantly maintaining this type of hair in good condition is rather troublesome.
If hair styling is given with great difficulty, it is recommended to use hairspray containing natural ingredients instead of chemical aerosols, causing irreparable harm not only to hair, but also light. An effective remedy for styling rare hair is lotion made from lime juice. To do this, you need to squeeze one fruit of lime and juice it with hair for stable fixation. Very often, just removing the hair curlers, the hair seems hard and resilient in appearance, but you should start combing them, as they turn into fluffy and well-worn hair. Lime juice dries very quickly, so if it is poured into a spray bottle, it will turn into a great hairspray.
Here is another recipe for how to make a strong nail polish for hair. Cut the lime fruit into slices and transfer them to the pan. Pour water into it so that it covers them completely, and boil them over low heat until softened. Then transfer the mass to a blender and beat it down to a pasty consistency. Drain the liquid, pour it into a spray bottle and use as needed. Gelatin can also be an excellent tool for styling liquid hair. Dissolve 2 tablespoons of gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water and use this tool as a tincture for the final rinse. For the same purpose, you can prepare a lotion of sugar. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar in a glass of boiling water, then pour the solution into a spray bottle and use as a hair spray.
How to treat premature baldness
Premature baldness is always accompanied by several circumstances, both objective and subjective. The main cause of hair loss comes down to a banal meager diet. Other causes include hereditary diseases, long-lasting, chronic diseases, such as typhoid, the effects of head injuries, as well as pregnancy, menopause, misuse of sunbathing and untidy scalp. A diet rich in iron, iodine and B vitamins can be a very effective means of stimulating hair growth in bald places.
Iodine is responsible for the good blood circulation of the scalp, which nourishes the follicles, from which hair grows. As long as the follicles remain intact, they continue to receive adequate nourishment through the bloodstream and nothing can interfere with hair growth. Iodine deficiency in the body slows down the blood circulation in the scalp, which causes slower hair growth, then leads to hair loss, and later on to baldness. Lack of iron leads to anemia of blood flow. A lot of vital trace elements are contained in our food, and through the bloodstream they are transferred to the scalp. Thus, interruptions in blood circulation are fraught with the termination of the supply of nutrients, and this in turn can lead to such unfortunate results as hair loss of a flowering species. Head unkemptness can also contribute to the progression of early baldness. The skin is completely replaced within four years, but as long as the head is not kept perfectly flawless, there can be no question of any renewal, for the simple reason that young hair does not have enough strength to make its way upstairs.
From the neglected appearance of the head remains one step until dandruff, related to infectious diseases caused by bacteria. They live on the scalp, which is their natural habitat and, in fact, there is nothing wrong with that. However, when it is contaminated, the number of microbial colonies begins to increase in an avalanche-like manner. The very fact of the growth of their number becomes the reason for the increase in the amount of secretion secreted by the sweat glands. At the first appearance of dandruff, you can somehow cope with it by rubbing a mixture of lime juice and egg white into the scalp. Half an hour it should be absorbed into the epidermis, and then it should be washed off with a decoction prepared from shikakai seeds.
Skin covered with scales and very itchy, you can soothe, if you richly lubricate it at night with oil containing vitamin E. Then you should tie your head with a scarf and go to sleep. In the morning, you should rinse your head with shikakai infusion, after spreading 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or lime juice in it. The procedure should be repeated 2 times a week until the itching sensation stops and the scales disappear from the skin at all.
To prepare a dandruff shampoo, you will need to take 2 raw egg yolks, put them into a glass, filled with warm water by a quarter, and stir well. Then carefully rub the mixture into the scalp. After that you should wash your hair several times with water, and for the last rinsing you need to prepare a special solution for which you need to dilute 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in water. Doctors recommend diversifying your diet with foods rich in vitamins of group B. Take brewer's yeast, produced in tablets, often eat the liver, fresh fruits, vegetables, and sit on a protein diet.
How to deal with gray hair
There are many reasons for the appearance of gray hair. Most often this phenomenon is associated with poor heredity. In some cases, there is a clear relationship with loss of mental and emotional balance, sudden shock, unforeseen mortal danger or emotional grief. If we add to the above-mentioned violations in the work of the thyroid gland due to overwork, a disease of the pituitary gland, then we will have an exhaustively complete picture. So, anxiety, anxiety, mental fatigue together with various diseases of the scalp are the causes of the appearance of gray hair. In addition, if there is a deficiency of vitamins A and D in the diet, the chances of premature graying of hair increase, however, we still have several tools that can halt the process of gray hair progression and in some cases get rid of it.
First of all, you should go to the doctor’s office and undergo a full medical examination. If he comes to the conclusion that the problem lies in the disease of the thyroid gland or the pituitary gland, then it is necessary to immediately begin treatment. Under no circumstances do not pull out gray hair, because four or even five of his fellows will take his place. You should carefully cut it with scissors right at the base. Thus, new gray hair will not take its place, because it is already taken by its root, and besides its color will be completely invisible against the background of the head. Hair dye is very harmful because it contains chemicals that are completely unsuitable for any type of skin, and, in addition, they can cause various diseases. It is worth only once to paint the head, as it is all covered with gray. Therefore, the easiest way to get rid of a few gray hair, and it is easy to do with the help of a tool consisting of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. To do this, add a few drops of ammonia in one tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide. Then you should apply liquid to gray hair with a cotton swab. Wait a while until the liquid dries, and repeat this procedure. Try this procedure for a month, and the gray will be almost imperceptible.
If you decide to dye your hair, henna is considered one of the best natural dyes. It does not change the chemical structure of the hair, unlike chemical analogs, it does not damage the tissues of the head, but simply covers the hair with a thin layer, thereby giving it a shiny appearance. There are several ways to be painted with henna. To do this you will need:
1. Stir 1 cup of henna and a glass of boiling water to obtain a liquid consistency.
2. Stir 1 cup of henna and a glass of strong hot tea to a liquid consistency (thanks to this dye, the hair will get a bright red tint).
3. Stir 1 cup of henna, but with a glass of coffee (in this case, the bright red shade of the hair will darken slightly).
Mix 1 egg and a tablespoon of castor oil and add the mixture to any of the above pastes, preheating it over the steam for 10 minutes. Allow the paint to cool slightly and apply it on the scalp and hair, using rubber gloves. Then put a cellophane cap or bag on your head and do not remove from one to three hours. After that, thoroughly wash your head. Henna will not only dye your hair, but will also bring it to good condition, and also make it thicker.
Hair restoration at home: is it possible?
Every woman seeks to always look well-groomed and stylish. An important role in the image of the fair sex is hair. In pursuit of impeccable styling, women lose the natural beauty and health of their hair. Strands become lifeless, dry and brittle. It is possible not only in the beauty salon to complete a course of medical procedures that will help correct the situation. To restore the hair on your own can and at home.
Damage to the hair will see even a layman. Such tresses are hard and dry to the touch, tangled, brittle and prone to falling out. Before you begin a detailed review of specific measures, you should identify the causes of damage to the hair. They are internal and external.
Internal causes of brittle hair:
• violation of daily routine,
Among the external causes of hair damage are the following:
• chemical exposure (permanent waving and dyeing),
• regular use of thermal styling products,
• improper care.
Hair restoration at home: a set of measures
Your hair needs regenerative care if it:
• have a dull color,
The return to the locks of attractive appearance will require a lot of effort from you, but the result is worth it. First of all, you should determine for yourself the factors of damage to the hair and try to save the strands from their further impact.
An integrated approach to the improvement of hair
Trichologists recommend treating hair treatment in a comprehensive manner by following these guidelines:
1. Your food should be balanced and complete. In the diet must be fresh vegetables and fruits, dairy products. Drink more pure, non-carbonated water.
2. If possible, discard hair styling with hair dryers, irons and curtains for a while.
3. Cut the split ends regularly.
4. Use cosmetics with the most natural composition containing keratin and protein complexes.
5. Recreate the mask several times a week. Excellent results will be visible in a month.

7. Use combs that will not tear the hair, but, on the contrary, smooth the scales. Perfectly cope with this task combs made of natural wood and bristle massage.
8. Do a head massage.
Darsonval for hair restoration at home
Separately, as an effective method of healing hair, I would like to highlight darsonvalization. Using a medical device is a great way to strengthen hair follicles and stop hair loss. Darsonval improves blood supply to the hair roots and helps get rid of many scalp problems. After completing the course of procedures, the hair becomes shiny and healthy.
The effectiveness of darsonval is due to the effect on the hairy part of the scalp of a weak pulsed current of high frequency and voltage. The device improves blood and lymph circulation in dermal covers, has a pronounced drying and antiseptic effect.
Thus, darsonvalization is recommended for solving the following problems:
• excessive greasiness of the scalp,
• loss and breakage of hair.
