5 tips for taking good care of your hair

If there is a period when we can take care of ourselves, it is during this confinement. When you have to stay at home, it’s time to take care of your hair as you’ve never done before! Not washing your hair regularly or sticking to your usual routine? Discover the advice of a hairdresser and founder of many salons to have silky hair even in times of stagnation.

To have beautiful hair, there is no secret: you have to take care of it! Curly, straight or frizzy hair, all types of hair need to be treated with rigor and thoroughness. If being stuck at home makes you lazy, that doesn’t mean you should neglect your hair and put your cosmetics aside. On the contrary, we rush into his bathroom to take care of it as it should.

Maintain a regular washing frequency

While one might think that washing your hair less helps to have beautiful hair, it is quite the opposite. During this period of confinement, it is advisable to keep your usual washing frequency provided you use mild shampoos. Failure to wash your hair for several weeks can result in high sebum production, which is not beneficial to the scalp. “The sebum traps all the micro-particles on the scalp, which is very bad. Keeping your sebum for several weeks can suffocate the scalp and has no nourishing power on the hair. , we can see the appearance of dandruff caused by small fungi that sebum can increase tenfold, ” explains the hairdresser.

Let your hair rest

The hairdryer, straightener, and curling iron, we forget! Take advantage of staying away for weeks at a time to let your hair air dry and keep it looking natural. “You have to take this opportunity to be able to let your hair rest from the usual mechanical treatments that they regularly undergo such as excessive drying, brushing, and plates” , advises an expert. High-temperature heat attacks the hair deeply: the keratin layers are affected and the hair breaks. The straightener often used at a temperature between 180 ° and 200 ° is the main responsible for the damage caused to our hair if its use is regular. So, a month of respite from our beautiful hair can do them the greatest good.

Take advantage to make natural masks

Normally after a long day at work, the desire to take care of your hair is no longer really there. Now is not the time you are missing. Now is the time to go to your kitchen and use natural ingredients to concoct your own homemade treatments. Yogurt, honey, eggs, or even lemon juice, many natural alternatives are at your fingertips. “You should take advantage of this period to put your masks on for longer or to clean your scalp in-depth with green clay, for example” , specifies our expert.”Cleansing your scalp with green clay helps to regulate sebum and remove all impurities from the hair such as pollution and dead skin. It is a mask to favor if you have hair that greases quickly”. This time, with the time we have in front of us, we leave our masks on preferably all night (or all day) in order to penetrate all of its benefits into the hair fiber.

Make oil baths

“Take the time to do rather than not to do” he advocates. “Doing an oil bath takes a little time but is worth it”. This treatment allows the hair and the scalp to be nourished in depth. To make one, just take one or more vegetable oils and mix them. Then, apply the mixture or the oil alone from roots to ends, finishing by massaging the scalp to stimulate growth. As for the choice of oils, it depends on the needs of your hair. For brittle hair, avocado oil is preferred, to promote growth, castor and mustard oil are your allies, and to reduce frizz, broccoli oil is ideal. If you don’t have this in stock, classics like coconut oil and olive oil remain effective vegetable oils for nourishing and adding shine to hair.

Brush your hair regularly

Brushing your hair seems like a trivial step, yet it is essential to maintain healthy hair. For him, “you have to take advantage of having the time in front of you to learn how to untangle your hair. You start by brushing the ends and work your way up”. Brushing is done either on dry or damp hair but it is strongly recommended not to do it on wet hair, which could break it. This step should be part of your daily beauty routine because it eliminates the impurities of the day. Be sure to remove any remaining hair regularly and clean your brush with shampoo and water once a month.
