If you have always dreamed of wearing a hair like that of movie actresses, that is to say strong, healthy, beautiful, bright and with volume begins to take care of it inside and out and wear some habits of healthy life.
We are what we eat
The appearance and quality of our hair, depends on a healthy diet that includes all the essential amino acids. I recommend you consume:
Nuts : excellent to prevent hair loss. Its injesta favors blood circulation, so that oxygen, vitamins and minerals will more easily reach the hair follicles, improving the hair's resistance.
Green leafy vegetables: are very rich in iron and Group B vitamins, which makes them perfect to slow hair loss and strengthen it from the inside.
Carrots: are rich in beta-carotene and vitamin A, two essential nutrients in the regeneration and strengthening of tissues, including the scalp.
Blue fish: with a high omega-3 content that will give your hair the shine and softness you need.
Eggs: ] Its high content of proteins and essential amino acids strengthen the hair follicles, improving the texture and adding shine and volume to the hair.
Natural masks
The natural masks are a clear piece go in the routine of taking care of our hair, mainly if we need an extra dose of hydration or repair the damage caused by the passage of time, bad habits or by external agents.
I give you an example of a mask effective that you can prepare at home:
-Ingredients : Olive oil, which will nourish your hair in depth.
Honey, brings shine, vitality and slows hair loss.
Egg, rich in proteins and essential amino acids, which gives us much more volume and texture, resulting in a strong hair, beautiful and very bright.
- Preparation:
Beat the egg in a bowl and add a tablespoon of olive oil and two tablespoon of honey. Then stir until a homogeneous paste is formed. Leave on for 30 or 40 minutes. If you want to enhance the effect of the mask, wrap your head with a towel or shower cap while acting.
Finally, rinse with plenty of water, we wash with our usual shampoo.
The ideal temperature
The temperature of the water with which we wash our hair is very important. If we choose a very high temperature, not only will be damaging our hair fibers, making after the shower our hair is much more frizzy and dull, but also we will also be finishing with the protective barrier of our skin.
Ideally, is to opt for warm water, a temperature that should be between 28º and 35º, and never exceed them. However, the last rinse before leaving the shower you must do it with cold water, so that your hair shines and is vital.
The heat opens the cuticle, and allows all the products that we apply to our hair during the shower penetrate better, but if the last rinse we do it with water at the same temperature, the cuticle will remain open once we have left the shower.
If on the contrary, we rinse our hair with cold water, the temperature change will serve to seal the cuticle, thus preventing the loss of hydration achieved with our shampoo, conditioner and mask.
Dry carefully
Wet hair is especially sensitive, so when drying it, we should avoid rubbing it vigorously with the towel, since this way we will only be able to break it and weaken it.
Instead, we should choose to wrap it in a terrycloth towel, if it is special to facilitate the drying of hair a lot. or better, and let it dry in it for about 20 minutes. Thus, when we remove the towel, it will have absorbed all the moisture, which will also reduce the drying time with the dryer, and our hair will be damaged much less.
You can take these minutes to dress, make up or breakfast, what this technique will not entail any effort and you will save valuable minutes when it comes to getting ready in the mornings.
Correct hair brushing
When the hair is still wet it is the perfect time to untangle it, since you will avoid the frizz and static electricity that arises in many occasions when brushed dry, but you also have to take into account that being wet, it is much brittle, so we will have to avoid sudden movements or inappropriate combs.
There are many types of combs and brushes in the market, so the first thing is to choose the one that best suits our tastes and the needs of our cab it. If you are the one who prefers the comb, ideally it should be wide and separated teeth, while if yours are the brushes, it is best to opt for one of flexible plastic bristles if your hair is fragile and for one of wooden bristles if your hair tends to curl easily.
As for the technique of brushing, we recommend that you begin to untangle the tips, and go up gradually as you go removing the knots. This way you will avoid breaking your hair and favoring its fall.
Always protect it from external aggressions
As with the skin, healthy and strong hair is not only achieved by providing the best care, but also we must protect it from external aggressions.
Pollution and UV radiation, especially in the summer months, affect the health of our hair, and a lot. To prevent damage, we must protect it whenever we expose ourselves to the sun, using hats, scarves or caps, to prevent the sun's rays from hitting it directly.
In addition, it is important that we apply a specific sunscreen product that contains SPF, much better if it is resistant to water, as it will protect us from the harmful effects of the sun and the dryness provided by chlorine from swimming pools and sea salt.
Smoking hurts
Tobacco directly influences the fall and lack of density of our hair.
Loss of vitality, increased dryness of the cuticle and fragility of the hair fiber are just some of the negative consequences It produces the tobacco in our hair, so to show off a prettier and thicker hair, quitting smoking is the best advice I can give you.
Then to take care of the hair!
