We love our hair, we care for it, we try to care for it, caress it with cosmetics, it is synonymous with beauty and sex appeal. Thanks to them, even the most modest creation often gains class. However, we sometimes forget that some treatments are not healthy for them, and even destroy them and deprive them of shine. Below is a brief description of the treatments that have the strongest impact on our hair.
First, let’s look at the coloring. No one has any doubts that any chemical actions performed on the hair have an adverse effect on it, even the best quality dye will not leave the hair in perfect condition, without damage. Coloring causes dryness, breakage, split ends, and sometimes even hair loss.
One of the types of coloring is bleaching, it is one of the most destructive treatments that can lead to increased brittleness and hair breakage. We often decide to bleach our hair ourselves at home, but it may be worth going to a specialist to be sure that our hair will not be damaged too much, especially when we plan multi-tone bleaching.
It is also worth remembering that our hair reacts best to dyes in a color similar to or slightly darker than natural, and that even natural hair dye can cause an allergic reaction. It is best to dye your hair one color and dye only the roots every few weeks, additionally choose natural hair dyes, because they are the mildest in action, while giving the desired effect.
Our next sin is drying our hair, not only often, but also at high temperature. Consider using a dryer. In the first place, the next time you buy, take care of the cold air drying function, it may turn out to be beneficial. In turn, you can also reduce the need to dry your hair with a hairdryer. Wash your hair during the evening bath so that it has time to dry, if you have problems with styling in the morning, invest in rollers that will tame your locks.
Of course, heat does not always have disastrous effects, heating the hair allows the hair cuticles to open, thanks to which the ingredients of the conditioner or balm are absorbed easier, faster and, above all, deeper into the hair. After applying the mask, put a foil cap on your head, wrap it with a towel and then heat it up with a hair dryer. High temperature starts to damage hair at 60-70 degrees – remember about this when using a dryer.
Curling irons and straighteners are real killers for the condition of our hair. Of course, we cannot completely resist them, but it is worth giving up their daily use. Let’s find a hairdresser who will choose the perfect hairstyle for our face, which will be perfectly arranged and will not require daily straightening or curling.
However, if we must use a curling iron or straightener, let’s do it at the lowest possible temperature and try to protect them against high temperature with a special preparation. If we limit the unfavorable factors a bit, our hair will certainly repay us with its dazzling appearance.
