What does hair health care include

The core of hair health care in the professional line now covers five major categories: scalp detection, scalp environment conditioning, hair repair, hair follicle deep care, and customized daily guidance. It is by no means as simple as applying baking cream and steaming for half an hour in a barber shop.

I have been doing hair care myself for almost 2 years, and there are many colleagues around me who are managers of hair care salons. The most intuitive feeling is that now everyone’s first request for hair care is not to “make hair smoother”, but more to solve the real problems of oily scalp, itchy scalp, and excessive hair loss. question, so the first step is basically to do a scalp test, which is to use a dermatoscope with 200 times magnification and stick it on the scalp to take a picture. You can clearly see whether the hair follicle opening is blocked by grease plugs, whether there is redness and inflammation on the scalp, and you can even count how many hairs are growing in each hair follicle. Last month, I accompanied a friend from 996 to get tested. She originally thought that she just had oily hair and flat hair, but the result was that the hairline was covered with tiny vellus hairs that did not grow much. This was already the early stage of androgenetic alopecia. If the intervention had been delayed for another six months, she might have had to undergo a hair transplant.

Many people think that testing is an IQ tax. In fact, it is not. The scalp is equivalent to the soil of the hair. You can’t even tell whether the soil is acidic or alkaline, or whether there are insect pests. It is definitely useless to apply fertilizer randomly. Oh, by the way, there is no unified opinion in the industry about the frequency of scalp cleansing. Some hair stylists believe that deep cleaning once a month is enough for a healthy scalp. Excessive exfoliation will destroy the sebum film and make it oilier with more washes. Some hair stylists think that people who often perm and dye their hair and apply styling products every day should introduce salicylic acid cleansing gel once every two weeks to wash away the residue at the entrance of the hair follicles. The specific condition depends on your scalp condition.

It will be useful to wait until the scalp environment is almost adjusted before doing targeted hair repair. I had bleached my hair blue-black twice before, and the ends of my hair were as dry as dead grass in autumn. When I combed them, I tore off a lot of them. When I went to do maintenance, the hairdresser did not use the heavy baking cream that would get all over my hair. Instead, I used small-molecule hydrolyzed keratin essence to penetrate into the gaps of the hair cuticles little by little. After the treatment, the hair felt soft and resilient, not fake, and it lasted for almost a month without any split ends.

If your hair slits have become wider and hair has fallen out when you comb it, you need to use deeper hair follicle maintenance programs. Common ones include microneedle introduction of hair growth essence, low-energy laser hood irradiation, etc. However, this type of program is also controversial. Around me A friend underwent microneedling three times, and little strands of hair actually grew out of her hairline. A colleague with sensitive skin said that her scalp was red and stinging for several days after the procedure, and she even lost more hair. Therefore, be sure to do a skin test behind the ear before doing the procedure. Don’t just follow the sales trend and place an order.

And the formal hair care program is not done once it is completed. In the end, the hair care professional will tell you a lot of small details that you need to pay attention to every day. For example, don’t use strong cleaning shampoo every day if you have oily hair. When blow-drying your hair, you should dry your scalp first and then blow-dry the ends. These trivial things actually have a greater impact than doing maintenance once a week. Nowadays, people often stay up late and are stressed. Don’t put off hair problems. It’s better to intervene early than to wait until the hair follicles close and then regret it.
