Changes in temperature, rain, wind, hats – all these factors do not have the best effect on the condition of our hair. How to take care of your hair in the cold season at home? Read the Woman’s Day guide.
Falling dandruff is a common reaction to recent sun and wind exposure after swimming in seawater. Special shampoos that combine hygienic and therapeutic functions will help to cope with this problem. In other words, with their powerful ingredients, they destroy the fungus that causes dandruff, regulate the sebaceous glands, soothe the skin and even speed up the removal of dead skin flakes. For example, such shampoos are available from the brands Clear vita ABE, Head & Shoulders, Vichy.
But before embarking on treatment, it is better to consult a specialist. Most of the products contain active substances and high-tech complexes, therefore, an incorrectly selected shampoo irritates the scalp, which means it increases the amount of dandruff. And if you started treatment, then take it seriously, strictly follow the instructions, since the chaotic use of even the most expensive drug will not lead to anything. As additional hair care products, you can choose a cream mask and a dermatological lotion that does not require rinsing.
If this problem has not been resolved within a month, then you should not postpone the visit to the doctor. Perhaps dry scalp is associated with diseases of the internal organs. So, often the cause of dandruff can be not only stress, unhealthy diet and hair products that are not suitable for your skin type, but also disorders of the digestive system, in particular dysbiosis.
Hair loss is also a common cause during the fall season. The reason for this is simple – in the off-season, the body is forced to strain its strength and rebuild itself to other weather conditions. Therefore, in autumn, as well as in spring, hair not only looks worse, but also actively falls out. In this case, the correct diagnosis by the trichologist is very important. As a rule, everything is solved by taking antioxidant vitamins (A, E and C) and minerals such as zinc and selenium. This will compensate for oxidative processes triggered by an excess of ultraviolet radiation. And, of course, in this case, you cannot do without special cosmetics that improve blood circulation and deliver additional nutrients to the follicle – vitamins, minerals and proteins. Also, to prevent this problem, a head massage is very useful (it is best to do it before bedtime, and 5 minutes will be enough!).
It is also worth paying attention to how you care for your hair. For example, brittle hair can be caused by washing your hair in very warm water or brushing your hair too harshly.
There is nothing constant in the world: we sometimes noticed that in the fall, the shampoo tested for months stops working, the conditioner balm becomes ineffective, and after the usual mask, the usual minute morning styling is delayed for a long time. It depends on many reasons, in this case, the change of season dictates a revision of the priorities in caring means. It has been noticed that even dry and brittle hair will become shiny and strong if at least one special care product is added to the shampoo and conditioner. As a rule, it has a hypoallergenic formula and no dyes in the composition. It delicately acts on the skin, preventing irritation of the nerve endings. Look for such a product among luxury hair care lines. It not only gently cleanses dry and damaged hair, but also returns elasticity and shine to it. Another hint: most likely, it will contain at least one exotic ingredient, like an extract from an orchid, black caviar, or white truffle.
Alternatively, try pampering yourself with a hair treatment at the salon. For example, keratinization or lamination can solve the problem of dull curls for a long time. You probably won’t need to change your shampoo and conditioner after professional treatment.
Hair electrification is one of the most common problems in the fall and winter. The fact is that in the cold season, hair may lack moisture and eventually become brittle and unruly. They can also instantly become electrified from wearing hats. Nourishing regenerating masks will help solve this problem. And in order for the effect of the funds to be more effective, after applying the mask, wrap your head with a film and a towel. The heat will act as a catalyst, facilitating the penetration of the active ingredients of the product. To consolidate the beneficial effect, use nourishing masks at least two to three times a week. The choice of “saving” means is wide enough, but not always simple. It is easiest to use a mask from the same range as your favorite shampoo. Working together, they are sure to meet all of your basic hair care needs.
Also look out for styling products that are anti-static. For example, these are the brands Moroccanoil and Tigi. Smoothing waxes and creams can also cope with the electrification of the hair. But it is better to put alcohol-containing mousses and varnishes aside, they will only aggravate the problem.
Another problem common in the fall is that the hairstyle does not hold volume. This could be because your hair is very damaged. In this case, it is best to dry the strands with a hairdryer as rarely as possible and in a cold mode. Ideally, having made a good haircut, you need to keep the use of styling products to a minimum. If you are still going to resort to using a styling product, take a closer look at the “winter” series, which are specially created in order to solve the most common problems: keep the volume and shape of the hairstyle under the cap, reduce the effect of “electrification”, saturate the hair with moisture. And due to the fact that reflective particles are often added to them, curls acquire additional shine. Instead of nail polish or gel, look for leave-in balms and lotions that are packed with natural nutrients. Their effect promises to be as comfortable, gentle and gentle as possible. They restore the structure of the hair, giving it a more well-groomed look.
