How To Care Your Hair

First, the basic structure of the hair
Talking about how our hair care, have to understand the hair structure, growth patterns and changes in rules, by sulfur hair keratin cells, such as the middle of the cystine disulfide chain connected, so that the hair flexibility and scalability, such as the connection is re-organized the hair on the back deformation. Cross-section of hair from their point of view can be divided into three layers: the epidermis, cortex, Wie medullary layer, the epidermis is composed of many small overlapping scales made of, is a kind of protective layer, if the hair on the protection layer protection properly, then the hair will look beautiful black, supple and moving, such as inadequate protection, hard comb brush, hair or regular shampoo, perm, hair and other hair will damage the epidermis, the hair loses shine. In addition, the hair should also maintain proper acidity, which is shiny and healthy hair is an important factor. We all know alkaline substance will make the hair swelling, but too much acid will damage the hair. The development of things is always divided into two, so the general pH of the hair PH = 4.5-5.5, the most flexible and shiny hair, as the pH level of the amount of ingredients depending on the hydrogen ion, hydrogen ion was high acidic, high alkaline hydroxide ion, typically with values ​​between 0-14, the "7" is neutral, above the "7" is alkaline, we understand the results of the hair to grow hair, but also know , species. Growing season is generally two to six years, the hair of difference between different types of race, can be divided into thick, coarse hair, thin vegetables, soft hair, dry, oily, normal.


Above are talking about the basic changes of hair, we only know the objective laws, in order to better hair care subjectively.
Second, how to choose the right shampoo
The first step is to shampoo the hair protection, to maintain healthy hair, we must first choose a good shampoo, shampoo the main ingredient is alcohol, foam, hair adjusting agent, a good shampoo hair washed feel comfortable and elegant, better able to show it cut it, style, and easier to make hair. Everyone should be based on their own personal hair to buy shampoo, which the manufacturers do not see ads go fierce, which manufacturers offer great bargain on a jump-on, has been a phenomenon in society as a while ago, "Gone with the Wind soft "ads go well, we all use Rejoice. After a while, "Lux" doing wonderful, we all use the "Lux", there is no real science to their own hair, based on non-compliance with objective law, but the blind pursuit. Finally, make some people hair loss, dry, or even fork, break. So, in terms of hairdresser or buy their own shampoo, shampoo should refer to the PH value of the size of the 'neutral' PH value of hair in the "7" or so, dry hair should use PH in between 4.5-5.5. Acidic shampoo is more suitable for neutral. Dry hair people, PH value must not exceed the "8", otherwise it will cause the hair pores, and accelerate the aging hair. Currently, most of shampoo available in the market does not indicate the PH value, we can use pH test paper, test yourself, from the color strip show to determine the pH of the solution. Third, how to correctly grasp the shampoo method
Most people think that shampoo is very simple, and everyone will wash, do not need any technology, it is not true, we should recognize that includes shampoo and hair shampoo in two parts, the two different washing methods and the role of hair in scalp at the hair root fingernail to scratch by rubbing the scalp of sebum, dandruff, dirt off the leak, with the liquid foam rinse, wash your hair if you focus only on the shampoo do not pay attention, to be dry, dandruff itself off, so the hair is washed clean, then the effect can not be achieved.
Shampoo in the hair, based on the bubble through the shampoo, the hair will be floating dust, dirt and scalp with dandruff at falling down washed away. In shampoo, hand to light from the hair root hair growth direction along the scratch, some shampoo bar, do not rub back and forth horizontal force, so back to the surface of the hair shaft wear shiny, shampoo tail spiral technique can not be used when more rub, this method will make the hair wash tail fork.
Shampoo is a very high artistic skills, must not be rapid cursory, because the majority of hair damage are ignored to save time and steps in the normal shampoo. Passage of time will inadvertently hurt the hair. So what is the correct way to shampoo it?
(A) regular shampoo
Want to have soft, shiny, beautiful hair, shampoo fixed time is very important, especially in summer, sweat excretion strong, should wash shampoo, such as dirt on the scalp, dandruff plot too much, make the hair of sebum secretion hole occlusion, metabolic blocked, will also produce skin on the scalp healthy growth have a direct impact.
(B) use the appropriate shampoo
Hair dry, neutral, oil of different nature, according to their choice of the appropriate shampoo hair is hair care, custody of the basic method, people usually use the PH value should be compared with the end of the alkaline shampoo plant agent is appropriate.
(C) rinse with warm water
Rinse hair with warm water is a very important step, it is a comprehensive clean-up of dead cells, hair, dandruff, oily impurities and fat in the process, occupies a pivotal position, if not the hair of the foam, rinse dander, hair that stays alkaline substances on the hair will cause corrosion and damage the hair, shiny hair and a direct impact on the resilience of the hair.
Fourth, how to correctly grasp the hair care tips
Conditioner (Rinse) is an accessory to protect the hair, the water contains minerals, with more minerals, water the more hard, make the hair lost its luster after washing, and Rinse the most important role in the hair outside form a protective film, Run contains all kinds of hair proteins, can penetrate the outer layer of damaged hair and improve the organization, its functions are: 1, you can fork, fracture and other damage The hair most effective, as long as Rinse the hair after the formation of protective film, but also to avoid excessive evaporation of moisture in the hair, which for dry hair or by blowing, stained, damaged hair who were hot to that is contributed. 2 Rinse the hair will not only protect the hair to avoid by wind, sun, rain, erosion and other natural factors, but also to prevent blowing, dyeing, ironing and other damage caused by human factors. 3 Rinse can be difficult to improve the management of tangled hair, excessive hair hair, hair, or hot treatment, often easy to cause hair entangled, difficult to comb, and only use Rinse in damaged form a protective film on the hair leaving hair supple, easy to take. However, although the effectiveness of multi-Rinse, and each person according to their real hair to use, can not blindly use: (1) can not use oily hair rinse fine, oily hair because the hair has excessive secretion of oil (2) neutral in the absence of hot hair, dye and other chemical treatments are not often used. In short, Rinse effect varies, in other words, for A's not necessarily suitable for B, should be considered their hair, bushy degree may be. Also note two points: 1, if used properly, it will become supple and good hair comb; 2, if used improperly, such as the excessive amount of hair will look greasy people feel discomfort.
Run the hair the right way
A complete water washing hair red, the hair with both hands in the water gently squeezed, because the hair cuticle absorption is limited, if the hair in the wash, still covered with water, then the hair is can not absorb enough of the Rinse and can not be effective. 2 for applied Rinse, Judai same way as shampoo, but should not go directly to the Rinse the head down, so not only can not achieve the effect of nourishing the hair, oily scalp but will increase the problems, remember to use another comb has been cast Rinse, soak the scalp must not use a comb when combing their hair, such as not pay attention will hurt the hair roots of the hair follicle, leading to hair loss. 3, once the cast Rinse hair even after the need to stay long time in the head, should be immediately rinse with warm water, rinse with cold water and then washed again, tightening the pores of the hair can prevent hair loss and more hair glossy.
Above are talking about how normal hair shampoo, hair care, and only choose the right shampoo your hair, rinse for fine hair, hair care, coupled with the right skills, in order to make hair soft and glossy .
Bright black hair in addition to scientific shampoo, conditioner, it should also pay attention to the role of diet on hair, because people need their daily diet are: milk, fish, beef pork, wheat, rice and the rich iron-dimensional class vegetables, they are full of calories and protein foods, to maintain the body's normal metabolism, but also has the effect of Hair, if you are partial eclipse will cause a certain period of time insufficient protein or calories, will result in hair loss and other problems.
In short, hair care is a comprehensive, integrated, and not one-sided unity, the development of things has its own objective laws, we only have to master the objective factors to understand it, with our initiative to change it, use it, the subjective factors and objective factors combined organic was the only way to make your hair beautiful.

Take Care To My Hair

My last update consisted of me ranting about how I’m going to start straightening my hair more… Well, guess what? After all the noise I made I straightened my hair once… for my birthday. It’s just been so much easier for me to rock a co-washed ponytail lately. It only takes 5 minutes, and I just can’t resist… And I’ve been too lazy to do anything else.
Transition HairstylesThe only other staple hairstyle that I’ve been wearing is a flat twistout (pictured below)… Maybe about once or twice a week. Sometimes it turns out great, other times it looks like… blah. But it always looks better than the ponytail, lol.
One issue that I’m dealing with is if I should attempt to define my curls or leave them as is. My best friend suggested that I use a list of products and some scrunching method. Honestly, I don’t have the time and it seems like too much work. My fro hairstyle looks fine too me… I’m really in love with it! It takes me all of 5 minutes to do my wash and go in the shower, but I might give her suggestion a try at least once in the future.
Last, I’m still dealing with single strand knots. The only solutions I know to combat them are too keep my hair stretched or start using heat. Decisions, Decisions.
