How to maintain healthy hair

In fact, to be honest, there is no standard answer for hair health care that is universal across the Internet. The core is to first understand the condition of your scalp and hair and then adjust your habits accordingly. This is much more effective than following the trend and spending money on a lot of expensive shampoo and oral products.

Oh, yes, my best friend heard on the Internet that "silicone shampoo can cause blockage and hair loss", so she changed the regular shampoo she had been using for several years to a silicone-free one. As a result, she has a sensitive scalp that is oily on the outside and dry on the inside. After washing for less than half a month, her head was so itchy that she couldn't sleep, and her dandruff was like snow. She went to the dermatology department at the hospital, and the doctor said that she had damaged the scalp barrier through excessive cleaning. There is indeed a lot of controversy about silicone oil on the Internet. Some people think that silicone oil will clog hair follicles and aggravate hair loss. Some professionals say that silicone oil added in compliance with regulations can fill in the tiny damage of hair scales and reduce hair friction and breakage. In fact, both statements are correct, but they are just suitable for the group of people. It’s different: For scalps prone to folliculitis and acne-prone scalps, it’s more comfortable to choose a gentle cleanser without silicone oil. If you have a dry scalp or hair damaged by perm and dyeing, a shampoo with compliant silicone oil can actually reduce hair damage. There’s really no need to talk about the discoloration of silicone oil.

When I was working on a project in the past two years, I stayed up late every day. I washed my hair in the morning and washed it after a few quick strokes. I turned the hair dryer on to the highest heat and blew it until it was completely dry. Within two months, the ends of my hair became so split that I could use them as small forks. Later, the hairstylist at the barber shop I frequented told me that the water temperature for washing hair should not exceed 40 degrees. A little higher than body temperature is just right. When kneading, just press the scalp with your fingertips. Don't scratch it with your nails. Before blowing your hair, use a dry towel to press the hair until it is semi-dry. Apply two pumps of hair care essential oil and blow with medium wind. Blow dry the roots and leave a little moisture at the ends. I have tried this for more than two months. Now there are basically no split ends at the ends. The hair lost after combing is less than half of what it was before.

Oh yes, there is also the very hotly debated question "Can eating black sesame seeds make your hair black?" I once had a colleague who was a young boy with white hair. He ate black sesame paste for almost a year and his hair became whiter. I thought it was completely an IQ tax. But another friend of mine had to stay up for a month for a defense a while ago, and several white hairs appeared on his temples. He adjusted his schedule and ate a small spoonful of black sesame seeds every day. In less than two months, those few white hairs really turned black. In fact, professional explanations are very clear. The B vitamins and melanin precursors in black sesame seeds are indeed good for hair health, but they can only improve temporary white hair and yellow hair caused by disordered work and rest, insufficient nutritional intake. If it is inherited juvenile gray hair or white hair caused by natural aging, no amount of black sesame seeds can be reversed. There is no need to promote it as a miracle medicine or to kill it.

Many people ask whether anti-hair loss shampoo is an IQ tax. In fact, it depends on the situation: if it is temporary hair loss caused by the change of seasons, staying up late, perming and dyeing, choosing regular products with compliant caffeine and minoxidil ingredients will indeed work. If it has a certain relieving effect, if it is pathological hair loss such as androgenic alopecia and seborrheic alopecia, don't place your hope on shampoo. Go to the dermatology department of the hospital to register. You should take medication. If it is delayed for a long time, the hair follicles will be closed and nothing will work.

I carry an airbag comb that costs more than ten yuan in my bag all the time. I take it out to comb my scalp twice when I have nothing to do. The negative ion comb that is hundreds of times larger than the one I bought before is much easier to use. To put it bluntly, hair care is not something that requires a lot of money. It is better to understand your own situation and slowly adjust your habits.
