Useful tips to follow
Natural remedies must be accompanied by good and healthy habits to treat hair well, otherwise you cannot achieve the desired effects.
Here are some tips to follow:
- Wash your hair no more than twice a week; washing your hair often can cause dryness because it removes oils and dehydrates the skin.
- Purchase shampoos and conditioners that act in depth and with natural ingredients.
- Avoid daily washing.
- Do not wash your hair with too hot water.
- Dry your hair properly after washing.
- Do not rub them with a towel.
- Apply the conditioner only after removing any residue of shampoo: because the residues can flatten the hair or make it heavy. Rinsing must be done until the water is transparent.
- Spray the lacquer on damp hair: it is a common but completely wrong practice, since the alcohol contained in the lacquer in contact with heat burns and consequently ruins the hair. This creates a patina on the hair which makes them dull.
- Use dry shampoo frequently: it is useful in special and rare cases, but if it becomes a habit it is not at all good. The frequent mistakes that are made are not to vaporize the shampoo at a distance of at least 30 cm and the excessive quantity. In this case, an excessive white patina will be left which will make our hair color opaque and dull.
