What does hair health care include?

The essence of hair health care covers three core dimensions: scalp microenvironment maintenance, hair physical damage protection, and endogenous nutrient supply. It can never be accomplished by simply applying expensive hair care products.

Many people always focus on the frizzy ends of their hair when raising their hair. In fact, the scalp is the "soil" for good hair to grow. Nowadays, there is a lot of debate on the Internet about "Will washing your hair every day hurt your scalp?" In fact, there is no standard answer at all. My best friend with oily hair will have her hair frizzy after going out for half a day in the summer, and it will turn red if she doesn't wash it for two days. My folliculitis is very painful, so I switch to a mild amino acid shampoo and wash it every day, but the condition of my scalp is very stable. If my friend with dry hair washes it every day, it will be easy to cause dandruff. On the contrary, washing it once every three to five days is more comfortable. The key is to look at the oil production rhythm of your own scalp, and don’t follow other people’s routines. If your scalp is prone to itchiness or pimples, don’t use powerful anti-dandruff shampoos casually. Many shampoos containing powerful anti-dandruff agents will destroy the scalp flora if used for a long time. It’s best to see a dermatologist first to see if you have seborrheic dermatitis. Don’t mess with it on your own.

After taking care of the basic issues of the scalp, it’s not too late to consider the care of the hair itself. I once treated a little girl who had her hair bleached four times in half a year. When she first came here, the ends of her hair were so brittle that they broke when pulled. She had heard online that silicone oil damages her hair, so she never used conditioner containing silicone oil. Every time she washed her hair, her hair was so astringent that she couldn't comb it out, and instead she tore out a lot of hair. In fact, the silicone oil in regular products will only adhere to the surface of the hair to fill the gap in the hair scales, and will not run to the scalp and block the hair follicles, unless you apply conditioner thickly to the roots of the hair and it cannot be rinsed out. Later, I asked her to apply conditioner only to the ends of her hair every time she washed her hair, and apply a layer of heat-insulating essence containing silane ingredients before blow-drying her hair. Turn on the hair dryer and blow the warm air below 120 degrees along the hair scales. I persisted for less than three months. When she came back, the ends of her hair no longer broke with a pull, and it felt much smoother.

Of course, don't think that just applying it is enough. In the final analysis, the condition of your hair is a "barometer" of your physical condition. There was an old customer who worked in operations. He stayed up late for three consecutive months to catch up on a big promotion project, and slept less than five hours a day. His hair loss increased from a few dozen strands a day to more than 200 strands, and even after using nearly 2,000 yuan of hair growth essence, he had no improvement. Later, after the project ended, he adjusted his schedule and tried to go to bed before 12 o'clock every day. When he ate, he deliberately added more foods rich in vitamin B and unsaturated fatty acids, such as spinach and nuts, and pressed his scalp with his fingertips for a few minutes. After more than two months, his hair loss returned to normal levels. I have to mention here that many people on the Internet say that eating black sesame seeds can cure gray hair. This really depends on the situation. If you have few whiteheads due to a lack of trace elements or a short-term stress caused by staying up late, eating some in moderation will really help. If you have gray hair caused by genetics or natural aging, eating more black sesame seeds will be useless. On the contrary, eating too much will make you gain weight.

In fact, caring for hair is really no different from caring for skin. There is no universal formula, and there is no need to follow the trend and buy a lot of expensive products. Just understand the condition of your scalp and hair, and slowly adjust your habits. After all, good hair cannot be grown in three days or two, right?
