It’s no secret that our hair is negatively affected by temperature differences, wind, salty seawater and, of course, frequent hair dyeing or unprofessional dyeing at home. All of these factors eventually destroy the healthy structure of our hair, so when we notice that our hair has become faded, coarse and ugly, we start looking for help.
The first step we usually take to regain beautiful and shiny hair is to start looking for the right products for daily hair care. It is very true to look for shampoos and conditioners on store shelves that do not contain silicone (also known as dimethicone or cyclomethicone), alcohol or petroleum products. For damaged hair, you should choose cosmetics that are as natural as possible.
Likewise, most women know that to prevent hair from drying out, you need to get rid of the habit of drying them with a dryer. This rule is especially relevant for curly hair owners. It is best to allow your hair to dry naturally, but if you are in a great hurry and are forced to use a dryer, set the coolest possible temperature.
However, the classic solution to hair damage, i. y. nourishing and moisturizing the hair does not help to restore the hair to the end. These conventional remedies only fill the damaged areas of hair with hair-beneficial substances, visually producing an image of healthier hair, but basically do not solve the problem. In this case, your hair already needs professional treatments, not beauty.
Beauty salons already provide such hair treatment services. High-performance agents such as Olaplex or Davines Nourishing HBP products are used for this purpose. They are designed specifically for brittle and color-damaged hair. During therapeutic procedures, the hair is not only filled, but also strengthened with the necessary materials. During this therapy, the scales on the hair stick to the trunk of the hair, making the hair firm and elastic down to the ends.
However, even with the choice of highly professional products and the payment of considerable money for treatment procedures, women remain dissatisfied. This is because there were probably several major mistakes made when trying to rebuild your hair.
First of all, when treating hair, it should be borne in mind that these measures heal the hair from the inside out. Therefore, hair still needs moisturizing masks and conditioners to keep it healthy, strong and soft on the outside.
Another important thing to know about such intensive therapies is that these procedures usually consist of multi-stage treatment. Therefore, treatment should not be started at the second stage or end at the first. Everything must be done in sequence as indicated on the product packaging. In addition, it is usually recommended for damaged hair to undergo a full course of restorative procedures approximately every 3 weeks, and thereafter every six months to maintain the condition of healthy hair.
True, today's technology already allows such treatments to be performed not only in hairdressers, but also at home. And that's nothing wrong! However, we should not expect that after the first or second hair wash with the mentioned treatments, we will get shiny and healthy hair immediately.
On the contrary, it is possible that the first course of treatment at home will make your hair rough and heavy, but you should not be scared or disappointed. After all, this is not a beauty procedure, but a treatment that lasts much longer, so the results are not immediately visible. In the same way, those women whose hair is still healthy will not notice any significant results. That means there is nothing to treat.
True, if you are already performing these treatments on your own at home, don’t forget a few more basic rules. The first is, the longer the better. Even if the packaging states a minimum holding time of 10 minutes when used at home, the treatment can be left even longer to achieve the best possible result. And the second is to use all products in one line. This is necessary for cosmetics to interact with each other. It is wrong if you buy one shampoo, one conditioner different, and make the mask altogether from foods found at home. Everything should fit together.
Well, of course, it should be kept in mind that weakened hair can also report certain changes in your body. Therefore, if you notice that the hair does not regain its healthy appearance in any way, it is worth consulting a doctor. Hair loss or breakage may be associated with stress, malnutrition, endocrine or autoimmune diseases, and hormonal imbalance.
