Damaged and thin hair? How to treat and care for your hair properly.
Dry Hair Care
Dry hair often appears lifeless, lack of elasticity, and shine. The main cause is a dysfunction of the scalp's sebaceous glands. Other causes include chemical perms and frequent use of a hairdryer. For dry hair care, use shampoos with wheat, marigold, or sage extracts. Collagen shampoos make hair easier to comb and restore vitality. Sea-based shampoos give shine and flexibility. Balms and masks suitable for dry hair are also essential. Massaging the scalp helps stimulate sebum production, preventing excessive dryness. Regularly using oils can nourish and restore shine. A proper diet and hydration also contribute to healthier hair.
Oily Hair Care
Oily hair results from hyperactivity of the scalp's sebaceous glands, leading to excessive oil production. It’s often linked to an unhealthy diet, particularly fatty, spicy, or salty foods. Use special shampoos that contain birch sap, plant lipids, vitamins D and B, biotin, and pantothenic acid to regulate oil production. Herbal-based products such as nettles, lemon balm, and sage can improve circulation, nourish the scalp, and promote hair growth. After washing, rinse with slightly acidic water (1-1.5 tbsp of vinegar in 1 liter of water) to neutralize the alkaline skin pH.
Damaged Hair Care
Damaged hair often results from pathological changes in hair structure, improper hair care, and environmental factors. Do not wash hair frequently or use a hairdryer, especially on high heat. Healing requires both external and internal treatments, such as vitamin complexes with zinc, sulfur, and copper, as well as vitamins A, E, and biotin to nourish hair follicles and regulate sebum production. Recovery can take up to 1.5–2 years, depending on individual conditions.
Vitamin Complexes for Hair Loss
Various vitamin complexes are available to promote hair, nail, and skin health, such as “Merz” dragees, “Perfectil,” “Pantogar,” and “Silica Beauty.” Local complexes like “Complex for Hair, Nails, and Skin with Bamboo Silica” are also recommended. These complexes usually contain B vitamins, iron, selenium, zinc, and vitamins A, E, and C. It's advisable to take them for 3-4 months, followed by a short break.
