What items and methods are included in hair health care?

The essence of hair health care is a complete system covering the two dimensions of scalp and hair shaft, including daily care at home, professional hospital intervention, and lifestyle adjustment. It can never be achieved by relying on a certain Internet celebrity care product.

When I was in the hair care industry two years ago, I met a little girl in 1998 who had suffered from oily and dandruff for three years. She washed her hair twice a day with a powerful anti-dandruff shampoo, which made her scratch her scalp until it bleeds in the middle of the night. Later I found out that she had completely misunderstood the logic of care. Most anti-dandruff shampoos have antibacterial ingredients. Long-term use will destroy the weak acid barrier of the scalp, which will in turn cause bacterial flora disorder and aggravate dandruff. Don’t think this is an exception. At least half of the people around me wash their hair with water that is so hot it can make their faces turn red, or they smear conditioner thickly all over their scalps, and red pimples appear on their hair follicles within two days of washing. These are the easiest pitfalls in daily maintenance. In fact, daily care is not that complicated. For dry hair, wash once every 3 days, for oily hair, wash once every 1-2 days. The water temperature should be controlled between 37 and 40 degrees. Wash and care products should avoid ingredients that you are allergic to. Hair masks and hair care oils should only be applied to the hair tips below the ears. These seemingly trivial things are much more useful if you stick to them than follow the trend and buy a lady's shampoo that costs hundreds of dollars.

If after adjusting these daily details for a month or two, you still have problems such as a surge in hair loss, repeated inflammatory pimples on the scalp, and a loss of hair volume when it sticks to the scalp, it is not too late to consider a professional project. Nowadays, there are many common hospital care programs. For the scalp, there are hair follicle deep cleansing, red and blue light anti-inflammatory, and nutritional essence introduction. For the hair shaft, there are protein correction and hydrating hair mask care. However, the controversy about the hospital program has never stopped. Many people think it is an IQ tax. I think it depends on the demand: if it is just ordinary dry ends, you can improve it by applying hair mask twice a week at home, and you don’t have to spend hundreds to go to the hospital for care. ； However, if you already have signs of seborrheic dermatitis or early androgenetic alopecia, going to a regular institution or hospital dermatology department for targeted intervention will indeed yield faster results than messing around on your own. By the way, a reminder, when choosing a program such as protein correction, you must ask clearly about the ingredients. Many cheap products contain excessive amounts of formaldehyde. After the treatment, it may seem like the hair is smooth, but in fact it will damage the hair follicles and aggravate hair loss, which is not worth the gain.

What many people tend to overlook is that the condition of their hair is actually a mirror of their physical condition. A while ago, I stayed up late for 10 consecutive days working on a project, and the hair that fell out every time I washed my hair could tangle the entire floor drain. Later, I adjusted my schedule to go to bed before 11 o'clock, and added a spoonful of black sesame and walnut powder to my breakfast. In less than a month, my hair loss was reduced by two-thirds. Girls who usually wear high ponytails should also be careful not to pull their hair too tightly. My best friend used to wear high ponytails all year round and her hairline was bald. After half a year of wearing loose shark clips, the small hair on her hairline has grown to half a finger length.

To put it bluntly, there is nothing mysterious about hair care. You don’t need to pursue high-end products and projects. Just understand your scalp and hair condition, avoid pitfalls and stick to the method that suits you, and you will slowly see the results.
