    In fact, the core is the three aspects of "mulching + hair care + adjusting habits". It is not something that can be solved by just buying expensive shampoo and hair mask. I have been in the hair care pit for five or six years, and I really understand this.

    When I first started working, I had my hair permed and dyed three times a year, and the ends of my hair were as dry as sunburned dogtails. I gritted my teeth and bought hundreds of jars of imported hair masks. I wrapped them in a hot towel and applied them for half an hour every time I took a shower. As a result, the ends of my hair didn’t get much better, but my head became extremely itchy. If I didn’t wash it every other day, it would become oily and frizzy, and I would keep losing tiny bits of hair. It was only after I went to the dermatologist that I realized that I was focusing on replenishing nutrients for my exposed hair and had forgotten the most important thing, my scalp. To use a very simple analogy, the scalp is the soil where hair grows. If your soil is hardened and the bacterial flora is messed up, it will be useless to apply more fertilizer to the seedlings. Later, I got rid of the habit of scratching my scalp with my nails. I cut my nails flat and gently rubbed them along the hairline with my fingertips. The temperature of the shampoo also changed from the temperature that made my scalp red to a temperature similar to body temperature. The problem of dandruff and itchiness was relieved in more than half a month. By the way, when it comes to shampoo, everyone has been arguing for many years about whether silicone oil can be used. I specifically asked the doctor, and both opinions are actually reasonable: if you have oily skin, easy hair collapse, and red pimples on your scalp, the silicone-free formula is more refreshing and can be easily washed off; if you have dry hair. For dry and frizzy hair, regular shampoos that add silicone oil can fill the gaps in the hair cuticles and reduce the friction between hair strands. As long as it is rinsed clean, it will not clog the pores. There is no need to blindly follow the trend and buy silicone-free oil. I now use silicone oil when my hair is dry in the winter, and I switch to silicone-free ones when my hair is oily in summer. It is much more suitable.

    Don’t think that everything will be fine if you take good care of your scalp. Exposed hair is subject to wind, sun, perm, and dyeing all year round, so it should be protected as much as possible. In order to make my hair look straight, I used a 180-degree splint to clamp the ends of my hair every morning. After clamping for more than half a month, the ends of my hair were so brittle that they would break if I pulled them. Later I learned that high temperatures can cause hair cuticles to stand up or even break. Now every time I blow dry my hair, I do it first. Apply a layer of hair care oil containing keratin, only apply to the ends of the hair without rubbing the scalp. Turn on the hair dryer to warm air and blow the scalp first. When it is half dry, switch to cold air and blow twice in the direction of the hair scales. Now the ends of the hair feel soft and there are fewer split ends. There are also some inconspicuous little details that really have a big impact. I used to take wedding photos with the crown of my head raised for three consecutive days, which caused pain in my forehead for almost a week. Later, I lost a lot of small hair, which took almost half a year to grow back. Now when I go to work, I either tie it loosely in a low ponytail, or just leave it loose. I no longer have to strangle my hairline to show off my appearance.

    Many people think that diet, sleep, and hair care are metaphysics. I used to think so too. It wasn’t until I worked on a project for more than a month last year that I drank two cups of coffee and one cup of milk tea every day to stay alive. When I washed my hair, the hair that fell out could be lumped into a small ball, and I panicked. During that time, I tried the popular black sesame paste. I drank it for half a month. I had dry skin but it was fine. My colleagues with oily skin in the same department followed me and drank it. On the contrary, their hair became oilier faster and their hair fell more. Later, after asking a nutritionist, I found out that black sesame seeds are high in unsaturated fatty acids. If you have insufficient energy and blood and dry hair, eating some of them can really supplement your nutrition. If you have oily skin and heavy phlegm and dampness in your body, eating too much will aggravate the oiliness of your scalp and have the opposite effect. It is not suitable for everyone. Later, I forced myself to put down my phone at 11:30, and walked briskly for half an hour three days a week after get off work. I didn't take any supplements. Within two months, my hair loss was reduced by more than half. Whoever tries it knows this.

    In fact, hair care really doesn’t have so many flashy marketing gimmicks. It’s just small details that can be achieved with a little attention. There is no need to blindly chase expensive products. Find out about your scalp and hair quality, and find the right method that suits you. It works better than anything else.
