What does hair health care include

From daily home operations to professional intervention in the hospital, the core of hair health care focuses on cleaning, scalp conditioning, hair repair, and anti-hair loss and hair loss prevention. It almost covers the needs of the entire link from "soil" to "seedlings". There is no need to pursue fancy gimmicks. It is most effective to adapt to your own hair quality.

The first thing many people pay attention to when they are new to skin care is cleansing, and they even follow the trend and stock up on silicone-free shampoos for fear that silicone will clog pores and cause hair loss. There are actually different opinions on this in the industry. I have talked with a trichologist at the Municipal Dermatology Hospital before, and the silicone added in a formal and compliant way It will only adhere to the surface of the hair scales to fill the gaps, and will not penetrate into the scalp hair follicles at all. It is perfectly fine to use silicone-containing shampoo for a healthy scalp. On the contrary, only people with seborrheic dermatitis and frequent red acne on the scalp need to avoid cleansing products containing silicone and strong soap base, and choose mild ones with amino acid surfactants. Last week, a little girl who just went to college came to my studio and said that after using the famous silicone-free oil-controlling shampoo every day, the dandruff increased. After a scalp test, I found out that she had dry and sensitive skin. The shampoo was too powerful in cleaning and damaged the scalp barrier. She changed to a mild and nourishing one and it got better within a week.

Cleaning properly is only the first step, and scalp conditioning is the key point that many people ignore. After all, the scalp is the "soil" for hair growth. If the soil is filled with waste cuticles, oil residues, and sediments from styling products, no matter how good the essence is, it will not be absorbed. Some people say that scalp exfoliation will damage the barrier. In fact, as long as you choose a mild enzyme-soluble type, not the kind with abrasive particles for violent rubbing, it is perfectly fine to do it once or twice a month. I once had a male client who was a stylist. He sprayed hairspray and wax every day, and his scalp was full of small oil particles. It was so itchy that he woke up in the middle of the night. After two gentle exfoliation treatments, combined with antibacterial scalp essence, the itching problem disappeared in less than half a month.

After maintaining a stable scalp, it is now time to repair the hair itself. Especially for friends who often perm and dye their hair, the hair cuticles on the surface of the hair will be pitted by the potion and feel like dried grass. At this time, simply applying conditioner is no longer enough. If conditions permit, you can go for a cinema-based protein filling. However, I would like to remind everyone that many businesses now boast about protein correction. In fact, there has been controversy in the industry. One group believes that as long as the correction product contains aldehydes, its essence is to soften the structure of the hair. If it is used too much, it will make the hair brittle and easy to break. Pai believes that regular formaldehyde-free filling protein only fills the vacancies in the hair scales and will not damage the hair structure. I generally recommend that friends who want to do it first take a small strand of hair behind the ear for testing and observe that there is no dryness and breakage for 24 hours before considering doing a full head treatment.

In addition to daily cleaning and maintenance, many people do maintenance to prevent hair loss and strengthen hair. Here is a warning. You don’t just buy anti-hair loss shampoos as soon as your hair falls out. You must first understand the cause of your hair loss. If you have telogen hair loss caused by postpartum, staying up late, or changing seasons, don’t panic. Adjust your work and rest, and massage it with scalp essence containing caffeine and panthenol. You can slowly recover in two or three months. If it is hair loss caused by hair loss, you should not panic. If male alopecia is caused by traditional hair loss, you have to follow the doctor's advice and use medication to intervene. Those Internet celebrity anti-hair loss shampoos that cost hundreds of dollars a bottle are basically useless. In the past two months, a male customer spent more than 4,000 to buy an Internet celebrity anti-hair loss set. After using it for three months, the hair loss became worse. After going to the hospital for a checkup, he found out that it was male alopecia. After messing around for a long time, it was not the right symptom at all.

Oh, by the way, many people don’t realize that their hair also needs sun protection. When exposed to the sun for a long time outdoors in the summer, ultraviolet rays will decompose the keratin in the hair. Freshly dyed hair will fade after two days of exposure, and the ends of the hair are prone to split ends. Wearing a breathable baseball cap or holding an umbrella is the most cost-effective hair care item.

After all, hair care really doesn’t have so many fancy gimmicks. Everyone’s scalp skin quality and hair damage are different. Don’t blindly follow other people’s recommendations. If you are not sure what is suitable for you, first go for a scalp test worth dozens of yuan, which is much better than buying a bunch of useless products.
