Now that we are in a period of confinement for COVID-19, we have much more time to take care of ourselves and carry out all those things that we always leave behind to lead a frenetic pace of life. Well, it is time to put the batteries and give the hair the care it deserves so that it looks healthy and healthy.
Regardless of texture, color, or style, we all like hair to have shine and look like it's been handled by a professional every week.
From Redenhair, we reveal the key tips to practice from home, detailed by beauty experts, in order to make the hair look its strongest and healthiest.
Reconsider the way you wash your hair
Beauty industry experts argue that washing hair less frequently is key to maintaining shine and strength. Excessive washing can be harmful to hair, especially if it is bleached, dyed, chemically treated, or is naturally very dry or porous. By washing your hair every day, you remove the natural oils and proteins you need to keep your scalp healthy.
Limiting hair wash to three times a week is key advice and highly recommended by stylists. This frequency also depends on the type of hair you have: the curlier your hair is, the more time you can spend between washes.
You should choose a shampoo that hydrates your hair while cleaning, such as REGENERATING SHAMPOO, which does not contain sulfates, so it does not eliminate hair color nor is it aggressive for the scalp.
Also, if you are prone to oily hair, you can use a little dry shampoo between washes to absorb excess oil. However, you should try to avoid becoming dependent, as it can accumulate on the scalp and clog hair follicles, which can impede hair growth.
If you really have a hard time avoiding washing less often, remember that certain styles work and look best on hair that hasn't been recently washed. Braids, topknot and high ponytails are great hairstyles for those intermediate wash days.
Always protect your hair
For many, thermal tools are as essential to their hair routine as shampoo can be. But when used too often and at too high temperatures, they can seriously affect hair health.
Hair can be damaged using both UV and heat tools produced by hair straightening irons, curling irons, and even hair dryers, so giving your hair as much protection as possible is crucial.
When you dry your hair at home, always use a thermal hair protector, if possible, free of silicones. These types of products prevent split ends and reduce breakage, leaving hair looking healthy and smooth from the roots..
Invest in good products and tools
Think of your hair as your skin: what you apply will affect it. Investing in good quality products and tools will make your hair look and feel healthy and strong.
There are numerous kinds of brushes that help maintain and shine the hair, because a good brushing is also key to achieve more shine for loose hair. An example is the HAIR REGENERATING BRUSH, a product that stops hair loss and stimulates the development of hair follicles with a massage on the scalp using infrared light, accompanied by microvibration, allowing you to introduce the product you want to dose slowly. .
Likewise, on the market there are much improved straightening tools (ionized, ceramic, ...) that damage the hair much less. Similarly, you should invest in a good quality hair dryer that does not burn your hair and that has the option of cold air so as not to generate the frizz effect.
It pays to pay a little more for good products, and while they may be priced higher than others, if you take care of them properly they can last a long time.
Keep your tools clean and free of dead hair, oil, and product build-up by washing them in a mixture of baking soda and warm water at least once a month.
Condition your hair properly
A good conditioner is also crucial when it comes to any type of hair, but particularly thick, curly strands.
Deep conditioning involves the use of a conditioner that adds moisture and strength (protein) to the hair. To optimize its use, you should introduce heat with the conditioner applied and let it rest. You can do this by covering the hair with a plastic cap and applying heat from the outside with a hair dryer.
To make sure your hair really absorbs the conditioner, you can towel dry it after shampooing. Excess water can prevent the conditioner from penetrating the hair shaft and deliver the moisture necessary to keep it healthy and shiny. If you're short on time, at least squeeze out the excess water.
Use a conditioner that not only contains detangling ingredients but also provides a dose of moisture and vitality to the hair, such as the PRO-REGENERATIVE CONDITIONER, an ideal product for any type of hair. Its powerful formula moisturizes, strengthens, stimulates, conditions and brightens hair, preventing breakage and leaving hair healthy, protecting it from future damage.
Improve your brushing technique
Nobody wants a tangled and tangled mane, so brushing is always necessary, but it is important to do it with awareness. If you are too aggressive in combing your hair, you will only cause damage such as increased split ends and frizzy hair.
For perfectly shiny, healthy and untangled hair, you should brush your hair twice a day: once in the morning and again before bed, for about a minute each time.
You should always brush starting at the bottom and up, especially if you have long hair. The tools you use should change when your hair is wet to avoid breakage because, under those circumstances, it is weaker and more fragile. Save the brush for when your hair is dry, and invest in a wide-tooth comb, designed to glide through wet hair - especially thick, wavy, or curly - much easier than the brush.
Reconsider your diet
Introducing small changes in your diet will undoubtedly help your hair grow stronger and shine. In this case, the results will not be seen instantly but in the medium-long term, but carrying out this measure is one of the most effective solutions you can carry out.
We recommend foods rich in vitamins A, B and C, folic acid and minerals such as zinc, copper and iron.
One way to ensure these nutrients in the body is through nutritional supplements such as HAIR NUTRITION SUPPLEMENT, a very complete product that contains numerous vitamins, minerals, plant extracts and growth factors that stimulate hair development with shine and strength, while prevent loss of volume.
Enhance your hair care arsenal
If you have fine hair
People with fine hair should be careful when it comes to something that contains fatty oils (like argan, coconut, or olive oil). Although they are very hydrating, these ingredients can be excessive for fine hair and cause our hair to become heavy, flat and straight. Aloe vera oil is an excellent alternative, as it is much lighter and more nutritious, without leaving hair looking or feeling greasy.
If you have thick hair
Thicker hair needs more hydration than fine textured hair due to its wider diameter. It pays to invest in products that balance moisture to meet the needs of drier ends and newer roots. If you find that your hair is prone to frizz, choose lightweight straightening products that tame and don't weigh your style. If your hair is wavy or curly, you may need a heavier cream or serum.
Treat yourself and your hair from your home in this quarantine period with the tips discussed. Not only will you instantly bring sad hair to life, but you'll also infuse protein into the strands and restore hair elasticity to rebuild its strength from the inside out.
