Long hair care rules

Long chic strands are the dream of almost every girl, but many ladies know perfectly well how difficult it is not only to grow them, but also to keep them in great shape all the time. Very often, having received the long-awaited length, ladies are disappointed in the final result. The strands look lifeless and untidy. And then many go to the salon and shorten their hair.

But for the safety of long strands, you just need proper and constant care. At first, it will not be entirely habitual and rather difficult to carry out it, but over time, all this will give you great pleasure.

Most girls have no idea how to take proper care of their long strands. At the same time, it is worth knowing everything about your type of curls and buying products specifically for your hair type. Experts say that hair is of the following types.

1. Normal... Curls slowly lose their shine. They comb perfectly. No dandruff.
2. Fatty... They have a noticeable oily sheen. The fluffiness is quickly lost, and the hair sticks together.
3. Dry... The hair has a dull look, gets tangled all the time and is difficult to comb.
4. Mixed (combined)... These oily strands at the very roots have dry ends.

Besides, strands are like this.

• Hard... They are quite brittle, naughty and dry.
• Thin... Quite soft, very naughty, tangled. They have no volume and quickly lose their shape.
• Thick... They are distinguished by their special density.
• Emaciated... They appear as a result of diets, unhealthy diet and stress.

Most often, elongated curls have a mixed look, which makes it difficult to find the right care products for them.Long hair care can be divided into 2 large blocks: external and internal.

The brushing procedure harms the structure of rather long strands, so you need reduce this traumatic effect, then you can take good care of strands of any length at home. With proper care jerks should be avoided, especially if you have a tangle: do not tear it apart with a comb, you just need to use a special tool that makes combing easier. After that, it is worth driving along the tangled strand from top to bottom with a sparse comb until your hair is unraveled.

You should start combing your hair from the bottom, in stages, slowly rising, the last movements can be done from the beginning of the parting down. Thick hair is best divided into sections and combed separately.

Do not comb the strands immediately after washing them, as they are not as strong when wet as when dry. Comb your hair often, but gently. Before going to bed, tilt your head down so that the strands hang down and run the comb over them. The blood will quickly rush to the roots of the strands, guaranteeing the nutrition they need.

Perform aroma combing a couple of times a week. On a rare wood-toothed comb, apply a few drops of essential oil and comb through your hair several times. If your strands are too oily, you can use grapefruit or lemon, patchouli and bergamot oil. For severe dandruff, geranium and rosemary oils and tea tree oils are used. For accelerated growth of strands, purchase oil of juniper or ylang-ylang, lemon balm and cloves, fir and cinnamon.

The shampoo should be matched to the specific type of hair and constructively solve those problems that your hair has.

• If hair falls out - you need a strengthening agent.
• If the ends split - choose a revitalizing shampoo.
• If standard shampoos don't suit your strands - try rinsing them with a mixture of water and eggs. The result will be overwhelming.

Apply shampoo only on the roots. Rub a little into the roots, then rinse thoroughly. For a high-quality cleaning, the foam that slides down when the product is rinsed will be enough for your hair.

Be sure to use a balm. The conditioner is also useful when caring for elongated curls. Without this product, the hair will become seriously electrified. Air conditioning simply irreplaceable in the cold season.

Masks should be of the same series as the balm shampoo of your choice. This tool should be chosen especially carefully - many store formulations are replete with unnatural ingredients. For this reason, use home remedies more often for luxurious hair.

Serums they can perform both the functions of a balm and the functions of a mousse or even a mask: they will help to moisturize the hair well, heal it, and give it the necessary shape. The result of such a remedy lasts quite a long time. There is also a minus - the high cost and quite a lot of chemistry among the components.

Oils can also be selected for protection and when caring for elongated curls. Herbal formulations are the best formulas for gentle rinsing after washing long strands, as these infusions protect curls from the chemicals found in some skin care products. Wash your hair as often as you deem necessary, as soon as you feel that your hair is dirty. Otherwise, the harmful elements of the compounds will clog your pores, which will stop oxygen access to the roots.

Do not wash your curls with too hot water. Better to keep it warm - preferably at room temperature.In order not to injure the hair, when washing, you should not twist the hair too much, rub it violently and squeeze it with force.

Do not pour shampoo on your head. The product is diluted in warm water, beaten until foam appears and applied to the head for only 2-3 minutes. After that, the strands are thoroughly washed with warm water.

Dry long curls naturally, without a hair dryer. After the washing procedure, a wet head is simply dried slightly with a towel, if necessary, it must be changed. Next, a dry towel is wrapped around the head to absorb the rest of the moisture. A warm microclimate will be created under the towel, which will have a beneficial effect on hair and skin.

Most often, styling elongated curls is a very simple procedure, since it is enough to lay them in a certain direction. But there is a set of rules that you should know.

• Do not choose round brushes, which are used for shortened curls. Often this kind of combs can be easily tangled in the strands, and pulling them out without injuring the hair will not work.
• For everyday styling, you should not buy foams, as well as gels and varnishes - they will mercilessly destroy the keratin component of the hairs.
• Do not use devices such as hot curlers, curling irons, straighteners, or use them to a minimum. Heated rollers can be replaced with papillotes - special strips of soft material. The diameter of these devices varies. The larger the curls you need, the larger the size of the papillotes.
• Styling combs it is best to purchase wooden ones, since plastic and metal products can seriously scratch the skin and will activate increased electrification of the hair, destroying its structure.

For stylish styling, you should use the following products:

• varnishes that are needed to fix the hairstyle;
• gels that keep the shape of the haircut;
• mousses, which allow you to make elongated curls more elastic.
