| Turn Damaged Hair into Healthy Hair |
Dry hair looks dull and crumbly and
is easily damaged. Replenish your hair with nutrients to make your hair soft
and shiny.
Developing Healthy Habits
Wash and Dry your Hair Carefully
Dry hair is fragile. If you treat your fragile
hair roughly, the ends of your hair can crack and break. Think of it as a soft
fabric that requires careful handling of your hair when washing and drying
hair. So don't rub, pull, or twist your head.
When shampooing, do not rub your
hair excessively, use your fingertips to lightly shampoo.
Rinse the shampoo off with cool or
lukewarm water; Hot water can damage dry hair further. Rinse the conditioner
with cool water to close the cuticles well.
After rinsing your hair, gently
wring it away instead of twisting it. Then, pat your head with a towel to wipe
off any remaining moisture.
Use Less Shampoo
If you frequently wipe off the oil naturally
produced by the scalp with shampoo, your hair will dry out and nutrients will
not be properly replenished. Washing your dry hair with shampoo every day will
make your hair drier and dull because there is no room for oil to remain on
your hair. Shampoo should only be used 2-3 times a week so that the oil on the
scalp can nourish your hair.
If you reduce the number of shampoos
you use initially, your hair will look oily. This is because the scalp is used
to producing more oil to compensate for the oil washed away by shampooing.
After 1-2 weeks, the scalp is re-balanced, so even if you wash your hair for a
few days, your hair doesn't look messy.
If your hair roots look oily, dry
shampoo may be a good alternative.
Dry Your Hair in a Natural Breeze
If you had to use a hairdryer, now let your
hair dry enough to let it air dry. If the hot air from a hairdryer hits dry
hair, it's not good for your hair. Using a hairdryer can make your hair look
shiny, but in fact, the heat damages your hair, causing it to crack and break
over time.
The first time you start air-drying
your hair, you won't be happy with the results. However, if you keep repeating
it over time, you will have natural hair that shines beautifully after a month
or so.
If you need to style with a
hairdryer (on special days), set the dryer to warm or cool air and use it at
least 10 cm away from your hair. When using a dryer, use heat protection
products to minimize hair damage.
Use a Comb Instead of a Brush
The hairbrush is a lot of damage to the
hair because it passes by digging through the tangled hair. Using a brush on
dry hair that can break easily can make your hair look frizzy and rough, so try
using a wide-toothed comb instead when your hair gets wet. The hair is less
irritated and it does not break easily
If you have tangled hair, first
loosen all the tangled parts by moving slowly from the tip of the hair to the
root of the hair. If you comb straight from the root of the hair, you can break
your hair.
You can also use your fingers to
gently loosen your tangled hair. Apply conditioner to tangled hair and loosen
it while rubbing it.
Avoid Damaging your Hair by Irritating it
Irritations such as the use of a
curling iron, perm, or dye can damage long-term hair in just one shot. Even if
you want to turn your dry hair back into healthy hair, you won't be able to
recover your natural shiny hair unless you stop these stimuli. Stop the
following stimuli.
Use styling products that use heat,
such as curling irons, hot rollers, and rod irons.
Dyeing, bleaching, bridging (try
using natural alternatives.
Make a Homemade Hair Mask
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 banana or avocado, mashed
- 2 tbsp plain yogurt
- 1 loose egg
- Mixing the above ingredients as you please
- Applying finishing oil to protect your hair
Applying oil to your very dry hair will
prevent the hair from becoming crumbly. After squeezing the oil into a size of
10 won, apply it around the tip of the hair using your fingers. It is better to
avoid the hair roots. Try the following oils:
- Argan oil
- Olive oil
- Coconut oil
- Jojoba oil
Using a Pig Hairbrush
We don't recommend using a brush, except for
the pig hairbrush. The pig hairbrush is made of natural hair similar to the
texture of human hair and serves to deliver the natural oil of the scalp to the
ends of the hair without damaging the hair. Use it when your hair is very dry:
Wait until the day before shampooing
to allow enough oil to accumulate, then brush your hair.
Comb the tangled hair with a
wide-toothed comb.
Brush your hair from the scalp to
the ends of your hair, then brush one area several times before moving to
another.
Comb several times until you've
brushed all of your hair sufficiently. By the time you're done, your hair
should have been much softer. Wait 1-2 hours before washing your hair with
shampoo.
Growing Healthy Hair
Massage Your Scalp
Massaging the scalp promotes the blood supply
around the hair so that the hair grows well. Get in the habit of doing a scalp
massage every time you wash your hair with shampoo. Rub the scalp while drawing
a round circle with your fingertips. Massage the entire head.
Scalp massage can also help reduce
stress and relieve headaches.
If you want to maximize the effect,
try an oil massage. After massaging the scalp with coconut oil, almond oil,
olive oil, jojoba oil, etc., wash your hair and rinse it off.
Using Natural Hair Products
Commercially available products contain many
materials that are far from healthy hair. Shampoos, conditioners, and styling
products may be the culprit for making your hair dry and looser than usual. Try
changing to natural products and avoiding products that contain harmful
ingredients, such as:
Sulphate: An ingredient found in shampoos and other cleansers, which takes away the natural
oils and makes your hair dry.
Silicone:
An ingredient in the conditioner that accumulates on the hair, making the hair
dull over time.
Alcohol: Found in
styling products, it dries your hair.
Keep your hair healthy through food.
The food and drink we consume also greatly
influence our hair health. If you want to have beautiful hair, it's important
to supply enough nutrients to your body. Let's cultivate the following habits
to grow healthy hair
Eat a lot of foods rich in nutrients
that help your hair. Try to get a lot of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and
iron, and eat foods like salmon, sardines, nuts, avocados, and flaxseeds.
Replenishing enough moisture can
prevent drying out of your hair.
Do not smoke. Tobacco damages your
hair.
Protect Your Hair From the Sun.
Like your skin, spending a lot of time in the
sun without any protective equipment can burn your hair. If you
intend to invest a ton of energy in the sun, cover your hair.
Wear a cap to shield your head from
the sun.
When swimming, wear a swimming cap
to protect your head from chemicals.
In cold weather, wear a warm hat to
protect your hair from the cold and dry wind.
Trim Your Hair Often
If you follow the methods outlined above,
healthy hair will begin to grow. If you trim your hair every two to three
months, you can cut off the ends of damaged, dry hair. After a few months, only
beautiful, newly grown hair will remain instead of damaged hair.
Tips
· Mix white vinegar and water in a 1:1 ratio and rinse before shampooing to get shiny hair.
