Hair restoration after washing. Video
In an effort to become beautiful, women make many sacrifices, including they are ready to change their hair color more often than it can be safe for their condition. In some cases, it is not possible to change the resulting color by simple repainting, and the only option is a wash, after which the hair needs special care.
Why does hair suffer after washing?
The structure of the hair is such that when the natural color changes, the dye penetrates into each of its flakes, and the denser the pigment is held in it, the longer the dyeing effect lasts. If it becomes necessary to rid the hair of the paint that has penetrated into the hair structure, then rather aggressive substances are used that negatively affect the general condition of the hairline. That is why, in order to restore a healthy appearance, a kind of resuscitation measures are required, consisting in changing care products and supplementing it with special procedures.
You should start by replacing your usual shampoo and hair balm with products intended for the dry type. Products for damaged hair are also suitable. They more intensively contribute to the restoration of the structure
How to restore hair after washing at home using masks
The essence of these procedures is in two points:
- in activation of blood circulation in the area of hair follicles, thereby improving the nutrition of the hair itself
- in the supply of additional nutrients to the hair roots
Masks for improving the condition of hair in this situation can be quite varied, but they should be selected with a focus on the purpose for damaged or dry hair. The easiest recipe is to mix any vegetable oil with mustard powder. Mustard promotes blood flow to the hair follicles, while the oil nourishes and makes the hair structure smoother. Especially carefully this composition should be rubbed into the roots of the bulbs and kept on them for at least a quarter of an hour, even if the burning sensation seems to be very strong.
No less useful for hair of any type is a mask based on cognac, liquid honey and egg yolk. These components are taken in equal proportions and applied to the entire length of the hair. For the effect of the mask to be better, after applying it, you should wrap your head with a warm towel and do not remove it for half an hour.
To make the result noticeable, masks should be done in courses, alternating procedures and counting on the fact that the effect of them will be noticeable no earlier than in a month.
