Hair Care Secrets. There is nothing better in hair care than natural remedies. If you really care about your hair, then the main thing is not to create the appearance of shine and smoothness, but to real nutrition and hydration. Personally, I love masks with almond oil and aloe juice. I apply it along the entire length of the hair, wrap it in cling film, and a towel on top. I keep it for about an hour. Another great remedy is hair tip wax. Perfectly smoothes, and, if necessary, unravels. You also need to gradually adapt to such care. Yes, it takes time, but it’s worth it. I don’t visit salons, I am my own hairdresser, but I know exactly what I use.

Hair Care Secrets. The health of our hair depends primarily on our lifestyle. Of course, hair dye is very harmful. Accordingly, if the hair is alive and not dyed, then it requires less maintenance. But even colored hair can be repaired and maintained. Of course, every hair type requires a different approach. It is very important to choose the right shampoo and balm. If the shampoo is expensive, it doesn’t mean that it will suit your hair. Choose shampoo for your hair type. Once a week you need to do masks, preferably oil. They nourish the hair and give it shine. It is important to know what you are eating. Proper nutrition helps restore hair structure. In no case should you wash your hair with hot water. Washing with cool water increases blood circulation and strengthens the hair. It is enough to go to the salon 4 times a year. It is advisable that you have your own personal hairdresser. Watch your hair. Love them for who they are at the moment. There are no limits to perfection. It’s never too late to get things right.

I love my hair very much, it gives me individuality. Although they have their own difficulties. There is little choice of hairstyles – bun, ponytail, braid. Many people on the street pay attention. Every six months I go to the salon to remove split ends. I paint my hair with professional German paint with collagen in the composition. I love professional hair masks. But shampoo and balm from the mass market have a very good effect on my hair, it becomes shiny, soft and thick.

Hair Care Secrets. All my adult life I wear long hair. Probably, I should thank my dad, who from childhood told me that long, beautiful hair is an indispensable attribute of female beauty. I believe that the beauty of hair depends solely on health in general. A balanced diet, consuming fruits, vegetables and water in sufficient quantities is the key to success. In hair care I prefer to use various oils and masks. I use various brands. In my opinion, it is not necessary to buy expensive products, price and quality often do not have a direct relationship. I checked this fact on my own experience.

Hair Care Secrets… Beautiful, thick, well-groomed hair is one of the main adornments of a woman (of course, in addition to a smile and sparkle in her eyes). Of course, it’s no secret to anyone that you need to drink as much water as possible. The very first steps for hair beauty are proper nutrition and daily routine. Choosing nourishing hair masks, for some reason we forget that the best way to provide our mane with the necessary substances is to consume them with food. Beautiful and healthy curls definitely need proteins (cottage cheese, kefir, legumes, cereals, sprouts, nuts), unsaturated fats (olive, flaxseed oil, grape seed oil and avocado), B vitamins (black grain bread, yeast, legumes, nuts, cottage cheese), iron (pomegranate, buckwheat porridge, nuts and seeds, bran, beans, dark chocolate with a high content of natural cocoa), calcium (sesame seeds, lettuce, herbs, cottage cheese, cheese, poppy seeds, spinach, tofu), zinc (sesame and pumpkin seeds, peanuts, legumes, dark chocolate) and, of course, a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits. The last thing I would like to mention here is taking care of the ends of our hair. Any care product for hair ends is a must in the program. At least after washing, and better – every day, it is worth applying liquid crystals, oils (coconut oil, Moroccan oil, macadamia oil) or special leave-in care to the ends or even the lower third of the hair length, and the shine and neat appearance of the hair are guaranteed. Healthy and beautiful hair!

Hair Care Secrets… By nature, I have long, good hair, despite this I regularly take care of it. I cut the ends once every two months, dye my hair only with high-quality dye containing vitamins. Once a week I make masks to strengthen and moisturize my hair. One of the best care products is ordinary burdock oil (there are ordinary burdock oils in pharmacies, and there are with the addition of other oils, which is also very useful). Apply the oil from the middle to the very ends, leave for 2 hours, you can overnight, and then wash off with shampoo. After daily use, the hair becomes shiny, this is especially noticeable in summer. Another very useful mask is a kefir mask with yolk and honey. It is very easy to make such a mask, you need to keep it for 20-30 minutes. The result is excellent – the hair becomes vibrant and hydrated.

Hair Care Secrets. I believe that the beauty of hair largely depends on genetics and health, so you need to follow the standard advice for those who adhere to a healthy lifestyle: proper nutrition, active sports, a lot of walks in the fresh air. Separately, I want to add that you need to drink a lot of water, eat protein foods, drink vitamins with a deficiency of trace elements, a spoonful of flaxseed oil in the morning on an empty stomach also helps me. Now let’s move on to the recommendations for care. Do not overload the hair with excessively frequent washing, chemicals, frequent dyeing. For me, the optimal frequency of shampooing is once every 5 days, while the hair looks fresh (but you should rarely wash your hair for those who apply styling products). I have combination hair and dry ends, so I put on a little oil every morning. The oil gives a shine and a delicate scent (I use Monoe oil from Yves Rocher). I also apply oil before washing, but use a heavier and thicker one (Bonacur Schwardskopf). My hair is upside down, I soap it twice, I soap only the roots, the rest is washed under running water, after shampoo I apply a nourishing mask, and then a conditioner. I dry exclusively naturally, I never use a hairdryer. When the hair is almost dry, I apply the keratin oil to integrate into the texture of the moisturized hair. I never go to the hairdresser, I do all the styling and hairstyles myself, hairdressers work with my hair only during events that do not provide for the use of individual stylistic preferences.

Hair Care Secrets… Most of my care is done at home, as now my free time is limited.

Mix all this, apply to the hair roots, cover with a film on top and wrap it with a towel, walk for 30 minutes. Do the mask once a week.
