Everyone has hair. Some people’s hair is smooth and beautiful. While mine is dry and rough, or oily and sticking to the forehead.
What determines the hair condition?
The human hair is determined by three factors: congenital factors, physical state and daily care.
According to the greasy and dry degree of hair, it can be divided into dry hair and oily hair. You can use the following standards for self-test.
If you can observe obvious oil dirt on the hair root or scalp itching the next day after shampoo, you can basically judge it as oily hair;
If the hair is rough, hard, lack of luster and easy to knot, it is dry hair.
Why is your hair oily?
Scalp oil is a normal physiological phenomenon. A certain amount of oil will protect the skin, but excessive secretion has become an annoying problem like acne.
The secretion of sebaceous glands in the scalp is higher than that of facial skin, almost twice as much as that of the forehead, which is most prone to oil. The main reasons for Chinese people’s increasingly oily scalp are as follows:
Having greasy and spicy food
Modern people like foods with high calorie and high fat content. They eat greasy and spicy food, which will stimulate the secretion of sebaceous glands.
Bad living habits
Staying up late, using computers for a long time, fast-paced life and high-intensity work pressure will affect the human endocrine system and aggravate scalp oil.
Washing hair too often or too little
Sebum is secreted according to information feedback. After frequently washing the hair and washing the oil on the scalp, sebum will receive the information of “lack of oil”, and then further secrete oil, which will lead to more and more secretion and more oil in the hair.
Wrong washing and care products
Some shampoos may not have good fat removal or fat control effect, but more moisturizing effect, which not only can not control oil, on the contrary, moisturizing ingredients will aggravate oil production.
Why is your hair as dry as “straw”?
The scales of soft glossy hair are obedient. The hair scales of dry and impetuous hair are damaged and are tilted and easy to break like “straw” and “weeds”. The dry hair may be caused by the following reasons:
Improper care after washing
When the hair is wet, the hair scales are open. At this time, they will be damaged by rubbing with a towel or lying down to sleep.
Frequent perm and dyeing
Frequent perm and hair dyeing will damage the hair scales, the small skin of the hair is damaged, and the edges roll up or become serrated, making the hair lose its luster and become dry and irritable.
Hair keratin loss
With aging, a large amount of keratin will be lost, and the hair is prone to dry, irritable, easy to break, hair damage and so on.
Expose to the weather
For a long time outdoors, wind and sun will lose water in the hair, and most of the oil on the hair surface will also be lost. Ultraviolet radiation will deform the protein and make the hair dry and irritable.
6 mistakes in shampoo make hair worse and worse
Wash your hair directly with dishevelled hair, wipe shampoo just after soaking your hair, and sleep before your hair is dry.
Many people are troubled by poor hair quality, but they don’t find that the wrong shampoo and hair care methods make their hair worse and worse.
Wash without combing
When washing hair, it is very important to wash the scalp. If you wash directly, the dust and dirt on the scalp will adhere to it and cannot be thoroughly cleaned.
It is suggested that before shampoo, comb your hair with a wide tooth gap and round head comb, and then rinse it with clean water, which can not only reduce the amount of shampoo, but also reduce the stimulation to the scalp.
Scrape your scalp with your nails
Many people feel very comfortable scratching their scalp with their nails when washing their hair. As everyone knows, there are many bacteria hidden in the nails. Once the scalp is scratched, it is easy to induce skin diseases such as infection and folliculitis.
Therefore, it is recommended to draw a circle when washing hair, gently press and knead the scalp with your fingers, and smooth the hair.
Apply shampoo when your hair is not wet
Some people are anxious. They wipe shampoo as soon as their hair is wet. However, this will cause incomplete cleaning or knotting, leaving dirt and dandruff in their hair.
It is recommended to rinse for about 1 minute before applying shampoo.
Apply conditioner to the scalp
Hair conditioner is a special cleaning product for hair. If it is applied to the scalp, the chemicals in it are easy to block hair follicles and cause hair loss.
It is recommended to apply hair conditioner at least 1 ~ 2 cm away from the scalp and apply it to the hair tip along the ear.
Unclean flushing
Residual conditioner is easy to adhere to dust and other sundries, adhere to the surface of hair and even scalp, block pores and cause inflammation. When washing your hair, you must pay attention to the final washing work and wash your hair thoroughly.
After washing, use a hair dryer directly
In order to dry their hair quickly, some people will directly use a hair dryer after washing their hair, which will damage the hair scales, cause water loss, and make their hair yellow and dry.
In fact, the best way is to dry naturally. If it is necessary to dry as soon as possible, it is best to choose cold air to reduce injury. Keep the hair dryer about 15cm away from the hair.
How to dry hair correctly
After washing your hair, how to dry your hair correctly? There are usually several options, such as rubbing dry, natural dry, press dry or blow dry. If the method is improper, it will damage the hair.

Pressing drying (recommended coefficient: ★★★)
Pressing dry hair is a gentle and desirable method. Gently press out the water in the hair with a towel from top to bottom along the hair scales.
Blow dry (recommended coefficient: ★★★)
Drying with a hair dryer will cause some damage to the hair, but it is a more time-saving and labor-saving operation. When using a hair dryer, pay attention to the following three points, which can better take care of your hair.

◆ Keep a certain distance (more than 15cm) between the hair dryer and the scalp. Shake the hair dryer from time to time to avoid burning the scalp.
◆ Don’t blow for too long, and don’t blow your hair very dry. Just feel a little wet after blowing your hair.
