How do girls maintain healthy hair

Protect your scalp first and then your hair, adjust the foundation internally and nourish externally to check for leaks. Don’t be led astray by Internet celebrity marketing and pay the IQ tax. I spent three years on my own, from having a hair slit wide enough to be able to plant rice to now with my hair so loose that I can’t even see the slit. The pit I stepped on can go around the dressing table three times. I have found a real way to do it.

When the whole internet was scolding silicone-containing shampoos as useless, I stocked up half a box of silicone-free products. By the third month of use, my hair was as dry as dry thatch in winter, and my scalp hurt every time I combed my hair. Later, when I went for a scalp test, I learned that the controversy over silicone oil was inconclusive: one party felt that Silicone oil will adhere to the scalp and block hair follicles, aggravating oily hair and hair loss. Only silicone-free products are recommended. The other clinical point of view is that the silicone oil added in regular shampoo has a large molecular weight and will not be absorbed by the hair follicles. As long as it is rinsed clean, it will not be blocked. Instead, it can fill the small gaps in the hair scales and reduce friction and damage to the hair. Later, I switched to a combination of using silicone-free cleansing on the front half of my scalp and silicone-containing conditioner on the back half of my hair. Only then did I finally adjust to a state where my scalp feels refreshed and my hair is less frizzy.

Speaking of the pitfalls of internal adjustment, I also went through it with my friends. Previously, a girl in the same department ate three black sesame pills a day to maintain her hair. After taking it for two months, her hair did not darken much. She gained five pounds in weight. After going to the nutrition department, I found out that most black sesame pills on the market add a lot of maltose and honey. Black sesame itself has a high fat content. Eating too much can easily increase the metabolic burden. To supplement it, it is better to eat more iron- and biotin-rich foods such as lean beef, spinach, and egg yolks. About 10 grams of pure black sesame every day is enough. There is no need to rely on processed snacks to supplement.

Many people are confused about whether to wash their hair frequently or not. I used to believe in the saying "the more often you wash your hair, the more it will fall off." In the summer, when I produce a lot of oil, I still wash my hair every three days. As a result, I developed red pimples on my scalp. I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with mild seborrheic dermatitis. During that period, my hair loss doubled compared to when I washed my hair every day. In fact, there is no standard answer to this point. If you have oily heads and sweat a lot in summer, there is nothing wrong with washing every day. As long as you don’t use water over 40 degrees and don’t scrape your scalp with your nails. If your scalp is dry and not oily, washing once every two or three days is perfectly fine. There is no need to stick to a uniform frequency.

As for the conditioners, hair masks, and essential oils that everyone always asks about, to put it bluntly, they are just "polishing wax" for the hair. It can only repair the damaged hair scales and make the hair look smoother, but it cannot change the hair volume from the root. Yes, I spent hundreds of dollars on a celebrity hair growth serum before. After applying half a bottle, I didn’t see any small hair growing on my hair. Then I went to the hospital to have a hormone test to rule out androgenetic alopecia, and I adjusted my work schedule to stay up less late. In about half a year, a lot of small hairs started to grow on my forehead. I have seen some people arguing about whether to comb your hair a hundred times a day. I have tried it myself. If I scrape hard with a hard horn comb, a handful of hair will fall out after 20 combs. I switched to a soft-tooth airbag comb and gently combed it a dozen or so times before washing my hair to comb out the knots. There was no pulling feeling. It was originally intended to relax the scalp, so there is no need to torture yourself with the number.

I haven’t permed or bleached my hair for more than half a year. I only use a hair mask once a week. I blow-dry my hair until it is only 80% dry, and apply two drops of essential oil on the ends of my hair. Now there are almost no split ends at the ends. Last time I went for a haircut, Tony asked me if I secretly did some care. In fact, to be honest, there are not so many fancy ways to maintain hair. It’s better to do it less and follow the condition of your scalp.
