Care for dry hair or how to fill curls with moisture. Deep nourishment for hair

Beautiful hair is the main decoration of women. This is a well-known axiom. Why is it that so few of the fair sex can be proud of their hair?

Hair trouble? Is it really so inevitable?

Over the years, wrinkles appear on the face, the figure loses its flexibility and girlish harmony. These are all natural processes that can be slightly corrected. Hair also ages over time - it becomes dull, brittle and grows more slowly. If in order to bring the skin and figure into good condition, months and the help of specialists are needed, as well as considerable financial investments, then restoring youth to the hair is just a matter of a few weeks.

In our article we will talk about how to make dry, sparse, dull and brittle hair alive and beautiful.

Where to begin?

In order to put the head in order in the shortest possible time, it is necessary to launch an offensive from all fronts. What is meant by this? Proper washing and nutrition of hair.

Hard tap water weakens hair no worse than acid rain, so make up your mind to wash your hair only with boiled water with herbal decoctions for a month. For the recovery period, this is not so difficult. After all, we are going to put in order not knee-length hair with an oblique arm thickness, but thin and dull hair, hardly falling below the middle of the shoulder blades.

In order to wash your hair, one bucket of boiled water with nettle leaves or chamomile flowers brewed in it is enough. After the first procedure, the hair will come to life, and the metabolic processes in the cells of the scalp will be activated.

Hair washing should be preceded by applying useful masks for hair nutrition, the recipes of which we will share in this article. Washed hair is recommended to rinse with water with two or three tablespoons of table, and preferably natural, fruit vinegar. This will make them shiny and easy to comb without loss.

What needs to be done first?

First of all, the hair and scalp must be cleaned of the remnants of varnish and other aggressive substances that were previously applied to the hair and were designed to make the hairstyle beautiful, but in fact they spoiled the condition of both the scalp and hair.

For the initial cleaning, we need baking soda. It will dry your hair, but you will have to put up with it, because this procedure is done only once, and cleansing is a necessary element of any therapeutic procedure. After it, the useful substances that we will apply later will manifest themselves quickly and properly.

Soda powder should be gently rubbed into the skin and massaged. Leave on for five minutes, then gently massage into hair and skin again. Rinse with water without soap and shampoo, but with a decoction of herbs.

Your hair will instantly change. So that they do not fluff too much, first prepare a weakly concentrated decoction of flax seeds and apply it to your hair with your palm. As you know, flax decoction is a thick jelly, easily absorbed by epithelial cells. According to its microbiological composition, it is a perfectly balanced and concentrated hair nutrition.

Dry your head. Give volume to your hair with your hands, comb and style your hair in the simplest possible way without the use of stylers and other store-bought chemicals - they will be successfully replaced by flaxseed jelly. Summer is the time for such experiments. If you do not like loose hair, then collect it in a ponytail or pin it with hairpins.

Next stage

Do a second wash in a couple of days. From now on, wash your hair only with dry mustard or the mixtures recommended below to moisturize and nourish your hair. It is known that the famous singer Anna German, whose golden curls were admired by the whole world, washed her hair only with mustard powder. Mustard dries out the hair, but is great for removing traces of any nourishing and restorative mask, at least the ones we recommend applying half an hour before washing.

Mustard powder should be rubbed into the hair roots gently but thoroughly. Mustard should be kept until a burning sensation appears. It is better to carry out this procedure while lying in a hot water bath. So the process will go faster. Rinse the composition with water with a decoction of herbs. Use vinegar to rinse. Already after the first procedure, you will not recognize your hair - it will become shiny, soft and gliding.

Indian herbs

Ayurvedic stores sell soap nut shampoos to nourish hair. It is them that we recommend as well as healing. Often, in addition to the soap nut, they also include other herbs. You can choose a shampoo suitable for a certain type and color of hair. These shampoos are available in the form of powders and emulsions. They, as a rule, almost do not lather and do not create the usual head of foam. Don't let that scare you - they perfectly wash away dirt, also improve blood microcirculation, remove toxins and toxins from cells, saturate them with vitamins and microelements.

Almost every Ayurvedic shampoo is not only a cleanser, but also a mask to nourish the hair. Reviews of those women who use natural Indian hygiene cosmetics confirm this.

Egg yolk and honey

Egg yolk is a natural bank of easily digestible vitamins and microelements. The same goes for honey. The mask presented below is recommended for 3-4 repetitions within a month. It is ideal not only for nourishing dry hair, but also for normalizing oily, prone to greasy hair within a few hours after washing. One egg yolk and a tablespoon of honey should be mixed with two tablespoons of mustard powder and applied to the hair, combined with a scalp massage. Hold for 30 minutes. Wash off with a decoction of herbs or vinegar water. This is a very successful mask that not only perfectly cleanses the head without shampoo or soap, but also activates blood circulation and fills the epithelial cells with useful substances.

Rye bread and egg yolk

Rye bread has long been used for hair washing. Our grandmothers took out soaked rye crackers from kvass and rubbed their heads with them. Kvass yeast and the rough structure of bread are the best way to promote the growth of healthy and strong hair. This home remedy is suitable for frequent use.

Since few people cook kvass now, we recommend regularly making masks to nourish the hair and cleanse them from fresh bread mixed with egg yolks.

Using a blender, turn the bread and egg mass into a homogeneous porridge, warm it up a little to body temperature and apply it to your hair for half an hour. For the best effect, wrap your head with cling film and a terry towel.

Such a hair nourishing mask (reviews confirm this) does not require shampoo, because it cleans and softens the hair well. It also has the properties of an air conditioner.

Honey and burdock root powder

Burdock is an unpretentious plant that can be found in any Russian meadow. Its roots have unique healing properties and are used for a variety of ailments. Burdock root oil is one of the best hair products, but any oil is difficult to wash off without shampoo, and our goal is to make hair young and beautiful in record time. Ordinary shampoos should be completely excluded for the entire period of treatment!

Burdock root accumulates the greatest amount of useful substances by autumn, so we advise you to dig out several rhizomes in September, wash, dry and grind into powder, which is subsequently used for drinks, ointments and oil extracts. In summer, you can use a fresh root.

The root, washed and chopped in a blender, must be mixed with honey so that a thick pasty mixture is obtained. It can be stored in the refrigerator, but not longer than a month. Before each use, it should be heated in a water bath. Honey with burdock root - this is an excellent treatment and nutrition for hair. Apply the warm mixture to your hair and rinse after 20-30 minutes. After a month of such procedures, the hair will become no worse than that of a child who has not reached the transitional age.

Amla

Amla powder mask can be used as an additional nourishment for hair follicles. This Indian plant has long been loved by women in southern countries. Finally, it crossed the borders of the Russian Federation and appeared on the shelves of our stores selling Ayurvedic drugs. Amla is mixed with egg yolk or honey, left on the head for a couple of tens of minutes, and then washed off with water and vinegar.

Honey and rye bran

Rye bran is practically devoid of useful trace elements, but due to its coarse structure, it is ideal for cleansing and activating blood circulation. For the procedure to bring maximum benefit, combine bran with honey and egg yolk. Apply a warm gruel to the hair and rub it thoroughly into the head. Twenty minutes will be enough for the sebum to dissolve, and the beneficial substances to be absorbed and fixed. Such a mask is easily washed off with boiled water, in which you can add vinegar or herbal decoction.

A few words about oil

The use of oils of various plants for hair treatment is a good thing, and we do not deny their benefits at all. But not everyone likes treatment with oils - after all, they need to be washed off very carefully, sometimes with the help of aggressive shampoos or soaps. A light oil, recommended as a conditioner, only improves the appearance of relatively healthy and thick hair. It is for this reason that in order to restore a neglected head, we recommend abandoning any oils and shampoos for a month, and using only softened water.

Unfavorable natural factors (bright sunlight, a sharp change in temperature conditions), frequent use of a hair dryer or other hair styling products negatively affect the structure of each hair. Moisturizing regularly will help keep your curls looking great and healthy. How to moisturize hair at home? What professional tools are effective for restoring strands?

General Basics of Moisturizing Your Hair

If the curls have become dry and lifeless after frequent or improper staining, then before starting the restorative treatment, it is necessary to cut the ends of the strands. It is important to remember that the less damaged areas are on the head, the faster the curls will recover and gain strength.

To achieve natural hydration of the strands and help them always look well-groomed, shiny and healthy, you need to follow a few simple, but very important basics:

You can not constantly "disturb" curls with temperature changes. Accordingly, you should use a hair dryer, hair straightener, curling iron to a minimum, namely, those means that contribute to overdrying the structure of the hairs. It is recommended to protect very dry hair from direct exposure to sunlight, so in the summer it is undesirable to appear on the street without a sun-protective headgear.

Overdrying of the strands can be facilitated by an unfavorable air environment in the room. If you often have to be in the office or in a room where the air conditioner is on or the heating is on, then you should prepare for the fact that the strands will begin to lose natural moisture and become dry. Artificial air humidification also has a beneficial effect on the condition of the strands. In order to make a comfortable environment in the room, you can purchase a special installation - a humidifier. Contribute to air humidification and aquariums with fish or turtles, as well as indoor plants.
Nutrition should only be healthy - this is a guarantee of a beautiful appearance. Vitamin A is especially useful for hair, it is found in vegetables, a variety of fruits and berries, protein foods, and lean meats.

Moisturizing the strands is carried out with special cosmetics (tonics, rinses, conditioners) or folk compositions (herbal decoctions, masks). But it is necessary to use all these compounds regularly, only in this option can a positive result be achieved.
If the curls belong to the dry type, then you can not overdry them even more with cosmetics that are prepared on the basis of alcohol.
Washing your hair with hard water can dry out your hair structure. To soften the water, it is necessary to add baking soda or glycerin to it (at a ratio of 1: 1).

Moisturizing hair folk remedies

masks

Folk healers believe that the best way to moisturize strands is burdock oil or castor oil. It is enough to thoroughly coat the curls with an oily composition 2 hours before washing your hair, then warm them with a plastic bag and a terry scarf. After the procedure, the strands are thoroughly washed with warm water using shampoo.

There are other proven and effective recipes that will help quickly moisturize the strands and make them healthy, manageable and beautiful.

Maca is kept on the head for about 2 hours, after which it is washed off with shampoo and warm water. The recommended course of using this tool is 10 times, 2 times a week.

Egg mask made from 1 yolk, 2 tbsp. spoons of castor oil, 1 teaspoon of glycerin and 1 teaspoon of 6% vinegar, helps eliminate dryness and relieve curls from split ends. The ingredients mixed together form a mass that is applied to the curls for 40 minutes (it is necessary to warm the head with a soft towel and a plastic bag), then the mask is washed off. Ideally, if the product is used within 1 month, 2 times in one week.
In a glass of dark beer, stir 1 tbsp. a spoonful of olive oil, distribute the resulting mixture over the strands and leave for 20 minutes. After that, the head must be thoroughly rinsed. The beer mask helps to moisturize the strands, it perfectly restores dry tips from deformation and prevents dandruff.

Honey, either as a main ingredient or combined with olive oil or egg yolk, has excellent moisturizing qualities. Before preparing the mask, honey needs to be slightly warmed up in a water bath, after which it will become liquid and easily mix with other components.

To moisturize bleached strands, a mixture of 1 banana, 2 tbsp. spoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 egg yolk. The mass is applied to the surface of the strands, paying special attention to the tips, for 30 minutes, after which the curls are thoroughly washed with warm water.

What's inside is what's outside

It's no secret that the body needs vitamins and minerals for proper nutrition. Our hair is no exception - without them, the strands will become brittle, dull, lifeless. For the health and beauty of hair, various vitamins are simply necessary:

A- is responsible for immunity, strong and shiny hair - his merit. Deficiency can lead to their loss and dryness. Found in liver, egg yolks, butter, whole milk, cream.

AT 2- makes hair healthy. Its deficiency leads to increased fat content. To prevent this from happening - eat dairy products, eggs, bread, meat and liver.

AT 3- Responsible for pigmentation. Growth failure and early gray hair are the consequences of its lack in the body. Fill in with whole grains, brewer's yeast, peanuts, fish, liver, beef.

AT 6- Relieve itching, dry skin and dandruff. It is found most in dried yeast, whole grains, chicken, pork, fish, liver, kidney, eggs, vegetables, soybeans, bananas, nuts, potatoes, and cabbage.

AT 9- helps hair grow. It is abundant in vegetables, nutritional yeast, cottage cheese, cheeses and fish.

AT 10- improves hair growth and, like B3, normalizes their color. With a lack of this vitamin, eat dairy products, egg yolks, brewer's yeast, rice, potatoes, fish, nuts.

E- Responsible for the nutrition of hair follicles. It is found in large quantities in tomatoes, lettuce, peas, spinach, parsley, rosehip seeds and sunflower oil.

F- activates the action of other vitamins and helps them to be better absorbed. Resists hair loss. Add vegetable oils of wheat, flax, sunflower, soy, peanut to food; eat walnuts and sunflower seeds - and you will not lack this useful substance.

Dry hair is a very common problem. However, it is realistic to fight it. How to do this, read the article.

Dry hair is one of the first problems that women face. It's hard to fight her. Usually, if the hair has become dry, then with a high probability they will begin to break, split.

Very often, women do not understand what caused such a sudden change in the structure of the hair. On the forums, you can read that genetics, climate and some other factors that are only indirectly related to hair health are to blame for everything.

In fact, hair becomes dry only when it lacks moisture. If the hair is not sufficiently hydrated, it begins to break.

So where does the moisture from the hair go? There are two options:

She doesn't get into it.
She evaporates

In the first case, the problem lies most often in nutrition. If a woman or girl consumes little water (namely water, not drinks), if she eats few vegetables and fruits, if she does not consume enough proteins, fats and carbohydrates, her hair becomes dry.

Water nourishes the hair, no organ can exist without water, including hair.
Vegetables and fruits contain a lot of vitamins and all kinds of minerals, which also nourish the hair, making it supple and elastic.
Protein is the main building tool of cells. Everything we have, we have thanks to protein. If there is not enough protein in the human diet, the body begins to break down, as there are no resources to carry out any restoration work. Non-vital parts, such as hair, are destroyed first.
Fats are essential in the human diet. Without fat, a normal metabolism is impossible. Fats are responsible for dry hair. If there is not enough fat in the diet, the hair becomes lifeless, stops growing well, breaks, splits.

In the second case, when moisture literally evaporates from the hair, improper care is to blame. What is improper hair care? These are the procedures that women and girls are accustomed to subjecting their hair to almost daily:

Drying with a hair dryer
Hair straightening iron
Frequent staining
Wrong shampoo
Irregular hair cutting
The wrong comb

All these factors have an extremely negative effect on the condition of the hair. As a result, the hair loses its protective sheath and is no longer able to retain moisture. In this case, the condition of the hair inevitably worsens. If you do not take action in time, you can lose beautiful and healthy hair not for many years.

Oils for dry and brittle hair

You can save dry and brittle hair with the help of competent oil care. More often, oils are applied to the roots, tips, or the entire length, depending on what kind of task you are facing. If you need to "save" the tips - oil is applied to them, preheating it
But this is only if the general condition of the hair is good enough. If the hair is mostly in poor condition, applying oils to the entire length will help you. Then the oil penetrates the hair evenly, nourishing and moisturizing them. If everything is sad with the hair, the oil is applied to the roots.
This method is used when you need to quickly grow hair. And the rapid growth of hair is interesting to those women whose hair can only be saved by scissors.

So which oils are ideal for dry hair? In fact, almost all cosmetic and essential oils designed for hair care. It is easier to say which oils are not suitable for hair care.

These oils include:

Burdock
castor
coconut

Burr oil. No matter how many praises are sung to him, this is not the best oil for hair care. It is recommended to apply it only to the roots, and it is not suitable for everyone. Sometimes it is difficult to wash off burdock oil from hair even from the second and third times. It is highly undesirable to apply burdock oil to the tips, it dries them very much
Castor oil. People who have tried castor oil for hair care fall into two camps. The first camp is people who used castor oil and it helped them a lot to restore their hair. The second camp is people who have completely ruined their hair with castor oil. Indeed, castor oil is only suitable for 50% of those who have tried it. It is very oily, it is poorly washed off, and, like burdock, it cannot be applied to the tips - it dries
Coconut oil. This oil is unique in its properties, it is difficult to argue with that. If coconut oil suits your hair, you are a real lucky one, because now your hair will become beautiful and shiny, and you will forget about split ends. But if it turned out that coconut oil is not for you, get ready to see your hair in a new light: dry, brittle and oily along the entire length. Usually the volume disappears completely

You should not refuse to use these oils, because you may be among the lucky ones who have come up with these oils. And if not, try others. The world of cosmetic oils is huge.

So which oils are good for dry hair?

Jojoba oil
rose oil
Grape seed oil
Almond oil
walnut oil
Linseed oil
peach oil
Apricot oil
Cacao butter
olive oil

Of the essential oils, the following are suitable for dry hair:

Ylang Ylang Oil
Shea Butter
Tea tree oil
cinnamon oil

It is worth remembering that you do not need to blindly believe reviews on the Internet. All people have different structure and thickness of the hair, which depend on many factors. But, of course, you should not refuse to use oil for hair care either.

Oils, eggs, fatty dairy products are used as the main components in masks for dry hair. In general, everything that contains a large amount of fat.

Hair Moisturizers

Store-bought hair moisturizers include:

masks
Balms
Oils
Sprays
cream
Serums
Rinsers

Most often, people use masks, oils and balms.

Purchased hair masks differ in composition. At home, you will not find so many components to prepare a hair mask similar to a store-bought one. In addition, purchased masks have an accelerated effect, they do not need to be kept on the hair for several hours to see the result.

Unfortunately, many companies add too many different chemicals to their products, as a result of which it turns out that the masks only work while you use them. There is no cumulative effect. These masks do not stand up to any competition compared to homemade masks that really treat hair, and do not mask split ends.

Many companies include oils in their hair care product lines. Rather, a mixture of oils. As a rule, these mixtures include oils that are difficult to find in the store. Some manufacturers add a good dose of silicones for greater effect.
But even in such mixtures, the amount of real oils significantly exceeds the insignificant amount of silicones. An example is Natura Siberica oil from the Oblepikha series. This oil is specially formulated to prevent split ends.
It should be applied to the hair after they dry in the amount of 1-2 drops. The manufacturer promises protection for healthy hair from excessive moisture loss, and for dry hair, prevention of brittleness and split ends.

Another well-known oil for dry hair from the store is L’Oreal Elceve Extraordinary 6 Oils of Rare Colors. Reviews about this oil are impressive: the hair is smooth, shiny, after the first use of the oil, the hair stops splitting. The composition includes chamomile, sunflower, coconut, lotus, rosehip and Tiare oils. There are silicones in the composition, but the amount of natural oils is really impressive.

Oil L'Oreal Elseve Extraordinary 6 oils of rare colors

Balms are used after washing to give hair shine, beauty, and remove excessive fluffiness. Balms are recommended to be applied to the ends of the hair if your hair usually gets dirty quickly.
If you have normal or dry hair, step back 5-10 cm from the roots and apply balm to clean, damp hair. There are a lot of balms. Each company produces its own balms, with an individual composition.
How to choose your balm? Only by trial and error can you find the perfect balm, after which your hair will shine with health and at the same time will not look greasy.

Professional shampoos and conditioners for dry hair

Professional shampoos and balms are professional for that, which are very different from products from ordinary stores. Shampoos of the professional series are designed for deep cleansing of the hair.

These are usually used before lamination procedures, keratin restoration and the like. This shampoo is not suitable for daily use. It is worth saying that professional shampoos should always be used with conditioners or balms, as they literally wash hair “to a squeak”.

For dry hair, use professional shampoos with extreme caution. Choose special shampoos for dry hair, otherwise, instead of a chic head of hair, you risk getting a “washcloth”.

The conditioner is usually paired with the shampoo, so there is nothing to worry about. You can safely take it.

Dry hair styling products

Sprays and mousses are ideal for styling dry hair. The sprays are very light and airy. They do not weigh down the hair and are just perfect for dry hair. Some sprays create an additional film that protects the hair from overdrying by the wind, the sun, protects from heat and cold. It is sprays that leading stylists recommend to owners of dry and brittle hair.

Styling mousses are also suitable for dry hair, but there is one rule: you need to carefully monitor the amount of mousse before applying. It cannot be used much. In large quantities, mousse can harm styling, the hair will look very hard, it will quickly get dirty.

Varnishes are suitable for spectacular and voluminous styling. Varnishes are used for any hair. They have a very strong hold.
