Healthy hair without beauty salons. Really?

Many of us are accustomed to professional hair care in beauty salons. However, during quarantine, when our favorite places are temporarily closed, some procedures can be done at home. We have gathered some useful tips for hair care at home, which are not inferior in effectiveness to specialized complexes.

Hair type

To do everything right, first of all, you need to determine the type of your hair, of which there are only four: normal, dry, oily and combined. Most likely, your master has already reported what kind of hair you have, but if not, you can determine it yourself. To do this, answer the following questions:

• How often do you wash your hair?
• How fluffy and thick is the hair?
• Do static electricity build up?
• Does itching appear on the scalp?

Responses are distributed as follows:

1. Dry hair – you can wash it once a week, hair is lush, often electrified, the scalp is dry for several days.
2. Oily hair – you have to wash every day, lush only after washing, it is rarely electrified, the scalp is normal, but after a few hours it becomes oily again.
3. Normal hair – you can wash it a couple of times a week, normal splendor that lasts for several days, sometimes the hair is electrified, the scalp is normal for several days.
4. Combined – this type of hair provides for oil at the roots and dry ends, which often split like dry hair. This type requires care for both oily and dry hair, because you need to wash your hair every 2-3 days, but make sure that brittle ends do not appear.

Having dealt with your type of hair, you need to think out a strategy for quality care for them in order to look your best!

How to wash your hair properly. Shampoo

The foundation of professional hair care is shampooing. And in this matter everything is decided by the type of hair, depending on which shampoo is selected. The ideal option is to use a professional series, in the line of which there are separate brands for each type. Do not take risks and choose shampoo according to your hair type, otherwise the hair will be unruly after washing, electrified, and the scalp will react with allergies.

Do I need balm and conditioner

Many people ask the question – does balm or conditioner really help? These products are necessary so that the hair after washing is easier to comb, it is smooth and silky. So yes, they really help your hair look wonderful. An important secret of the balm and conditioner – you can not apply them to the roots. It is best to distribute these products from the middle of the hair to the ends.

Water temperature

Another secret of quality hair care is the correct temperature of the water. Washing your head with too hot water is not recommended, as this will damage the hair follicle. The optimum temperature is warm, closer to cool. Many experts recommend rinsing your hair with cold water at the end of the procedure to strengthen it. It would be nice to add a teaspoon of vinegar for hair to cold water to make it shiny.

And one more tip – while you are at home, give your hair a rest. And this means that for this period it is possible to exclude hair curlers, styling with varnish and fixatives, as well as drying hair with hot air.
