How to care for your hair
Hair - a beautiful decoration of a man at any age. A beautiful hairstyle gives the woman a special attraction. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to keep hair in good condition for life.
Sometimes the hair begins to fall out. The cause can serve as chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract( gastritis, ulcers, colitis), thyroid disease, infectious diseases. Other reasons include lack of micronutrients in food: iron, sulfur, B vitamins;inaccuracies in the diet - excess carbohydrates, fats, sharp and smoked products.
Hair loss can be associated with frequent use, sometimes without special need, of chemical dyes, especially it is harmful at a young age. Under the influence of such dyes, the outer shell of the hair breaks down, they become brittle and brittle. Do not promote their growth and use of alkaline soap( such as household), varnishes, frequent washing.
Here's another tip: you do not need to wear warm and close headgear without special need - skin metabolism is hampered. But it is harmful and the other extreme - to walk in winter without a headdress: cooling leads to narrowing of the vessels of the skin, hair nutrition worsens. When working in the sun, protect your hair with a light panama or kerchief.
The shine and elasticity of the hair depends on the quantity and.the chemical composition of fat "secreted by the sebaceous glands of the skin. Healthy hair should not be either excessively greasy or too dry.
Very dry hair occurs in many common diseases, but mainly with improper care of them.
The way of hair care depends on the nature and degree of sebum secretion, therefore it is necessary to know what kind of fattening you have - moderate, high( fatty hair), low( dry).
The greasy hair of is characterized by strong gloss, often stuck together in separate strands, quickly becoming dirty. Often, they try to wash their hair more often, but as a result, the fat content of the hair only increases.
It is recommended to wash them once every 5-7 days, preferably with boiled water, any toilet soap or liquid shampoos for greasy hair such as "Sunshine", "Nettle" and other substances containing degreasing action, bath soap, sulfur tar boron-timolovym,forest. Soap of sulfur tar and tar can cause irritation in people with sensitive skin in summer, so it is better to use soap in autumn and winter.
To give your hair a beautiful shine, you can rinse it with water after washing, adding lemon juice or chamomile to it. It is useful to rinse with infusion of equal shares of St. John's wort, yarrow, oak bark, nettle, plantain( 1 tablespoon of the mixture for 1 liter of hot water, allow to stand for 20-30 minutes, strain).

A good effect is the washing of dry hair with egg yolk, rich in fat-like substances( lipids).The egg yolk is mixed with a little tepid water, whipped. This mixture is moistened with damp hair, then washed.
Very dry hair well a few hours before washing lubricate with warm vegetable oil. The hair is washed in soapy foam and washed off with not very hot boiled water.
Now the industry produces numerous shampoos that, unlike soap, do not produce a precipitate with calcium and magnesium salts, which are dissolved in water. Such shampoos can also be used with hard water. They wash off hair well from hair, do not have irritating effect.
For dry hair shampoos "Egg", "Lanolin", "Emerald", containing fat components are suitable. These shampoos can not be used to wash greasy hair.

If you comb your hair roughly( especially dry), they tie into knots and complex loops. Long hair should be combed, starting from the ends, gradually moving the comb to the root. A short hair - from the root. It is good to use a brush: it smoothes hair, promotes an even distribution of sebum. However, you should not abuse the brush, you can cause skin inflammation.
