1. Do not wash your hair every day

Shampoo, we wash off not only dirt, styling products, but also sebum, which moisturizes and protects skin and hair. Therefore, due to frequent washing of hair loses its natural shine, it becomes weaker and more susceptible to aggressive external factors.

Experts recommend to gradually increase the intervals between treatments. Perfectly shampoo need 2-3 times a week, but in any case, not every day.

2. Use Daily Conditioner

As part of such a product should not be a SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulfate). Instead sulfates, through which foam is formed, organic components contained in Daily Conditioner. That is why it cleans more carefully than usual and not so much washes sebum.

True, there is a lack of shampoo. They do not foam. But after a few uses, you get used to it.

Whatever shampoo you choose, remember that it must be applied only at the roots. For the remaining length will be enough amount of an agent which stechot with water.

3. Discard the hot water

Lower the temperature at least during rinsing. Cool water closes the scales, so the hair is not so pushatsya and look healthy and shiny.

And do not forget to use a conditioner or balm-conditioner. These products are also sealed scales. A balm not only smoothes the hair, but also gives them useful components: oils, proteins and minerals.

4. Nourish and moisturize hair masks

Hair masks must be used regularly, about a couple of times a week. But if the ends are dry and split, it is possible to carry out an intensive course of recovery and use a mask often.

How to choose a shop for hair mask

Choose a mask on which the package It will be written "Power", "moisturizing" or "restore". Do not look for products that promise to "irresistible shine" and "incredible shine."

As regards the composition, then there must be as many natural ingredients, primarily oils possible. And the order of the label is very important. If you see the oil, but it should at the very end of the list, it means that the mask of this component is negligible.

Apply the mask in the first place on the tips, then spread over the hair length, departing from the roots of about 10 cm. Rub into the roots of the mask is not: they do not need such wetlands.

Mask from cosmetic shops usually need to keep up to 30 minutes. Therefore, follow the instructions and do not rush to wash it: give a useful component to soak into your hair.

You will need 1 cup of low-fat kefir slightly warm. It must be rubbed into the roots and spread over the entire length of hair. To enhance the effect, you can wear a hat. Leave the yogurt on the head for 30-40 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water. can be washed with shampoo if desired.

This could eventually lead to the opposite effect: the hair will fall out. Also remember that these masks are applied only on the roots, not to overdry length.
