The hairstyle is “on fire”
Light and dyed hair suffers the most from the sun’s rays
Summer, and even such a hot one, is not the best time for our hair. It becomes brittle, dry, fades. Many have noticed how braids and braids burn out in the sun, losing color and elasticity. How to protect hair from the scorching sun, says Zhanna Pryhodko, a doctor-dermatologist-cosmetologist of the highest category.
– It would seem that hair – our protective coating – should not react so negatively to the sun.
Why is this still happening?
The fact is that ultraviolet radiation destroys and dehydrates the upper layer of hair. At the same time, the pigment melanin, which gives hair its color, is also lost. By the way, blondes suffer the most in this regard – their hair contains little melanin pigment, so it burns out the fastest under the influence of the sun.
It’s hard to survive summer with dyed hair.
Due to the chemical action of paints, it becomes brittle and weak, and therefore quickly succumbs to insolation. Dark hair is the strongest in terms of resistance to the sun’s rays, but it is also not protected from the destructive effects of ultraviolet rays. By the way, the ends of the hair suffer the most from the sun, which begin to break and split.
Is there any way to protect myself?
After each wash, apply a protective balm with UV filters to your hair.
By the way, there are special summer hair care lines. (shampoos, balms, masks, rinses) that contain moisturizing substances and filters. They help the hair retain moisture and provide it with nutrients. You can also use homemade balms. To do this, take two egg yolks, beat them and apply them to your hair. Put on a polyethylene cap on top and wrap your head with a towel. Such a mask can be kept from 30 minutes to 2 hours. The yolk contains vitamin A, which the hair needs, as well as cholesterol and lecithin, which nourish the hair.
“It is useful to rinse the hair with water and vinegar.” Such a balm can be modernized by adding a tablespoon of olive or castor oil and a little cognac. And the juice of half a lemon. After the egg therapy session, the hair should be washed well with warm water, then apply a little shampoo and rinse.
– By the way, about the shampoo. In the summer, we shower every day.
And is it possible to wash hair with shampoo every time?
This will only contribute to thinning hair, because every shampoo dries it. It is more appropriate to simply rinse the hair with water, washing off dust from it, or with decoctions of herbs. So, chamomile decoction is best suited for fair hair, nettle for blonde and red hair, and airu, mother-and-stepmother, oak bark for black and chestnut hair.
It is also useful for brunettes to rinse their hair with a decoction of regular tea.
A decoction of burdock root or parsley leaves is suitable for any hair. It is useful to rinse your hair with water and vinegar (1 tablespoon of vinegar per liter of water).
You can use lemon or grapefruit juice instead of vinegar. Such rinses will help maintain the natural balance of the scalp, make hair shiny and silky.
– Does it matter what to comb with – wooden or metal comb, brush?
The best is a wooden comb with thin teeth. It minimally injures the hair. A brush is also a good option – with this combing, the hair roots are well massaged, blood reaches the hair follicles, which stimulates growth.
And also – it is necessary to comb from the ends, gradually rising to the roots.
And not vice versa! First of all, this applies to those who have long hair
