    In fact, the core of true hair health care is to treat the scalp as "soil", hair as "plant", and the whole body as "growth environment". The effect of any one of them alone will be compromised - I helped a while ago My cousin, who is addicted to perming and dyeing and stays up late every day, has been undergoing treatment for three months. Her hair slits were so wide that three cotton swabs could be inserted side by side, and the tips of her hair were as hairy as dried hay. Now the slits have been reduced by half, and the tips of her hair feel much smoother. The holes she stepped on can fill half a piece of paper.

    The most common thing that people get confused about is scalp care. Many people either don’t care about it at all, or they blindly pile all kinds of nutritional products on their scalp. There are actually a lot of controversies here, such as whether or not you should wash your hair every day? I met a boy with an oily scalp before. He heard from the elders in his family that "the more you wash your hair, the more hair will fall off." He insisted on washing his hair once every three days. Each time he washed his hair, he lost 30 to 40 strands. The dandruff was so abundant that it floated down when he raised his shoulders. Later, he switched to using mild amino acids every day. After shampooing, hair loss was reduced by half and dandruff disappeared in less than two weeks. However, if you have dry skin or a sensitive scalp, washing it every day will damage the sebum film of the scalp, making it more itchy and prone to redness. Washing once every two or three days is completely enough. Some people say that scalp essence is an IQ tax. In fact, if you suffer from recurring dandruff caused by excess Malassezia or early redness of seborrheic dermatitis, using a scalp essence containing piroctone ethanolamine salts or low-concentration salicylic acid will indeed have a more significant improvement effect than ordinary shampoo. However, if you have a healthy scalp, using essences that add a lot of oils and nourishing ingredients will easily cause scalp acne, which is not worth the loss.

    When many people think of hair care, their first reaction is to buy hair masks and conditioners. In fact, the hair itself is a dead keratin structure, and there is no real "repair". All hair care products are just filling the gaps in the hair scales to make it feel smoother and reduce hair breakage. The biggest mistake I ever made was that I spent more than 300 yuan to buy a lady's hair mask that was said to be able to "grow hair". I applied it to the top of my head for two months, but not even half a new hair grew. Instead, I suffered from several scalp pimples. There are also many controversies about hair care products. For example, do shampoos containing silicone oil damage hair? In fact, it is better to use silicone oil-containing ones for rough and hard sofas and damaged hair that is frequently permed and dyed. Silicone oil can form a protective film on the surface of the hair and will not tangle after washing. A friend of mine who lives on the sofa used to follow the trend and used silicone-free shampoo. After washing, his hair was fried like a lion's head, and a dozen strands were ripped out after combing. After switching to silicone oil, the hair loss was reduced by two-thirds. However, for people whose scalp is oily and whose hair tends to stick to the scalp, silicone-free shampoo will be more refreshing and fluffy, and will not burden the scalp.

    Don’t think that hair care is just something you do on your head. The late nights you stay up late and the high-sugar milk tea you eat will all be reflected on your hair. Last year, I worked on a project for more than 40 days, sleeping less than four hours a day. I drank two cups of milk tea a day. During that time, I lost a lot of hair when I washed my hair, and my hair seams became wider. Later, I changed the milk tea to sugar-free, ensured at least six and a half hours of sleep every day, and added more dark green vegetables and a handful of nuts when I ate. Within two months, my hair loss returned to the normal level of losing a dozen strands every time I wash my hair. There is also a topic that everyone has been arguing about for a long time: Can eating black sesame seeds lead to black hair? It really varies from person to person. My grandma is seventy-three this year. She used to have a lot of white hair on her temples. Last year she started eating a small spoonful of fried unsweetened black sesame seeds every day. Now her white hair on her temples is really darker. This is because of her nutritional intake as she gets older. For gray hair caused by deficiency, supplementing with black sesame seeds can just replenish the required trace elements; but if you have hereditary juvenile gray hair, or senile gray hair that has been gray for several years, it will not matter how much black sesame you eat. Instead, you may gain weight due to excessive fat intake.

    Anyway, raising hair is really a slow process. Don’t believe those nonsense about hair growing in seven days and smooth hair in three days. Finding the right rhythm that suits you is better than anything else.
