Hair care should be both Internal And external.

If you want to have a thick and healthy hair, it is more important to adjust it from the inside out and lay a good foundation.

Hair quality is closely related to trace elements in the body, hair follicle cells is the fastest growing cells, its growth must be adequate nutrition. Suggestion usually eat more fish, beans, green leafy vegetables, animal liver, walnut, sesame and other protein-rich “hair care” food to help strong hair. At the same time, develop a good lifestyle, do not stay up late, learn to resolve bad mood, work and rest. In addition, external factors can not be ignored, you can try the following care recommendations.

• Change the shampoo.

Many people may have encountered this situation: the same shampoo used for a period of time, the effect is not as good as before. This is because the scalp will have a resistance to certain ingredients, such as anti-dandruff shampoo more or less have the role of anti-bacterial fat, using the scalp for a long time will produce “immunity”. If this happens, it is recommended to immediately change other brands or alternate use.

Shampoo and conditioner should not be applied directly to the scalp.

The scalp is the place with the most hair follicles and the densest density. Chemical ingredients such as phenylenediamine in shampoo or hair dye may enter the body from this, and there is a long-term risk of allergy and damage to liver and kidney. The correct way is: when shampooing, apply foam to hair; when dyeing hair, avoid contact between hair dye and scalp. In addition, less hair conditioner is applied to the scalp, otherwise it will make the scalp more greasy and uncomfortable (except for dandruff conditioner), and apply it to the place 1-2 centimeters away from the hair root.

• Don’t scratch your nails when you wash your hair.

The scalp is very fragile. If you wash your hair by “scratching your head”, it may become more itchy. In addition, the nails are easy to hide bacteria, if you scratch the scalp, bacteria can enter and cause infection. When washing your hair, you should use your finger pulp to slowly wash it in a round way.

• Don’t dye your hair too often.

The products used in perms on the market contain many basic ingredients and oxidants. Frequent use will damage the hair surface, resulting in hair turning yellow, brittle, losing elasticity and luster. Generally speaking, the interval between two perms should not be less than half a year. Pay attention to sunscreen. Like skin, hair also needs sunscreen, too much sunshine will make hair dry and vulnerable. It is recommended to choose hair products containing sunscreen in summer, or wear sunshade hats when going out.

• Keep shampooing with warm water.

Some people like to use very hot water to wash their hair, but this practice will damage the scalp’s skin barrier, leading to a large number of dandruff production, but also damage the hair follicles and hair quality. Therefore, it is recommended to use warm water shampoo, water temperature of about 40 degrees Celsius is the most appropriate.

• If you exercise regularly, your hair will become beautiful.

Having beautiful hair is many people’s dream. In addition to using conditioner, eating more food containing lecithin, not staying up late and so on, persistent exercise also has the effect of hairdressing.

During physical exercise, especially strength training, the body secretes growth hormone and collagen. Growth hormone can repair damaged body tissue, help burn fat, improve immunity and make people “younger”. Hair, like skin, is made up of collagen, which mainly controls the thickness, elasticity and moisture of hair, and is the basis for resisting hair aging, shedding and maintaining luster and moisture. Without collagen, hair will be dry, split and dull.Therefore, people who often dye their hair and lose their hair should insist on exercise rather than external maintenance, so that their hair emits vitality from the inside out.
