The secret of thick hair: the basic rules of scalp care

Do you dream of long, thick and shiny hair? Then do not forget about the scalp! Below is an educational program for her care.

Head wash
Double soaping is not a marketing ploy. Horny particles, fat, styling and external pollution accumulate on the scalp. All this must be washed off well.
In the first approach, massage the roots for 2 minutes, in the second - soap the strands along the length.
How often to wash? According to need, that’s the point. In the case of oily hair, it is better to go to the shower once more than to endlessly shower your head with dry shampoo. If you do not wash it off, you can earn irritation.
Scalp peeling
Mechanical scrubs sometimes injure the scalp, so buy them only as directed by the trichologist. If there are crusts, itching and dandruff, such products are prohibited.
Give preference to soft acid peels without abrasive particles. They can be used by everyone once a week.
Skin massage
Even the simplest comb cleanses the skin, improves blood circulation and oxygen access to the bulbs.
Make sure that the bristles reach the head and massage it.
It is not so important what material the brush is made of. The main thing is that she does not scratch the skin and does not electrify her hair.
What to do with dandruff
If the roots seemed to be sprinkled with flour, most likely this is a short-term reaction to a change of care, taking strong medications or stress.
Do you see lamellar exfoliation and large scales? It is more like fungal dandruff.
Dandruff alone cannot be defeated: even pharmacy shampoos work only in combination with a good lifestyle, nutrition and medication prescribed by a doctor.
Dandruff remedies from the mass market have a low percentage of therapeutic components and are more suitable for prevention.
Hair loss
As a rule, this is a seasonal phenomenon or reaction to a new shampoo, paint, antibiotics or anesthesia. Do not sound the alarm right away, but if the “hair loss” has not stopped within three months, contact a specialist.
Hair loss after childbirth is by no means the norm. The reason may be a hormonal failure or a severe deficiency of vitamins and minerals.

How to stimulate hair growth
Serums, lotions and masks for the scalp really work. They prolong the phase of active growth and can even stop the loss. But only if the "internal" indicators are normal.
With vitamin deficiency and systemic diseases, the effect of such funds will not be: the body simply does not have enough “building material” for new hair. Therefore, first pass the tests on the recommendation of the trichologist, and then plan the course of treatment.
