How to maintain healthy hair

The core is to put less burden on the hair, give it enough nutrients, and follow the pattern of hair growth. There is no need to apply seven or eight layers of products on the head every day. Now that I think about how delicious it is to eat hot pot with all the wasted money.

When it comes to the most overlooked detail of hair washing, I always thought that the hotter the water, the cleaner the wash. In winter, I wanted to use hot water to rinse my hair. But once I washed my hair for a week, I had so much dandruff that when I patted my shoulder while wearing a black sweater, "little snowflakes" would start to appear. I went to the hospital and found out that the scalp's temperature tolerance is about the same as body temperature. 37-38°C is just right. Overheating will destroy the cuticle barrier of the scalp, which will lead to dryness and itchiness and dandruff. There is quite a controversy about how often you should wash your hair. Some people say that washing your hair every day will damage your scalp and aggravate hair loss. Others say that oil blocks the hair follicles and is more likely to cause inflammation and hair loss. I have a combination of oily scalp and my hair gets so oily in the summer that my bangs collapse into barcodes the next day. Washing every day doesn’t work. I didn’t see more hair loss. Instead, I had to wash it for two days before, and several small red inflammatory pimples appeared on my scalp, which hurt when I touched it. For those with dry skin or sensitive scalp, it’s completely fine to wash it every two or three days. There is no need to adhere to any unified standards. The most important thing is your own comfort.

In order to lose weight quickly, I quit eating staple food for more than three months. During that time, hair loss really scared me. I would fall out every time I combed my hair, and the bathroom floor drain had to be drained once every half month. I checked the trace elements and found out that the main energy source of hair follicles is glucose. If you don't even feed it staple food, how can it grow hair? Later, I added half a bowl of multigrain rice every day, a boiled egg every other day, and drank half a cup of sugar-free soy milk to replenish protein and biotin. For more than two months, the number of hair loss every time I combed my hair increased from twenty or thirty to five or six. By the way, there is also the usefulness of black sesame seeds, which everyone has asked a lot about. There is indeed no clear clinical research to prove that it can directly hair blackheads. However, the unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E in it are good for maintaining the scalp barrier. Just don’t buy the kind with added ones. Just sesame balls with more honey and rock sugar will do. I used to eat three of them a day for sweetness. I gained two pounds in half a month, my hair was not black, and my fasting blood sugar was still high. Later, I switched to cooked sesame balls without additives. I sprinkled a spoonful of them with every porridge. After eating it for almost half a year, my scalp was indeed less prone to dryness and itchiness.

Small daily habits also have a big impact. I used to blow-dry my hair until it was completely dry and felt rusty. The ends of my hair were as dry as dried hay, and the split ends grew back within half a month after being cut. Later, I changed to blow-drying until the roots are completely dry, leaving the ends semi-wet. I apply two pumps of hair care oil and then blow-dry until it is 80% dry. Now my hair ends have not had any splits for more than half a year. I used to love wearing a tight ponytail high on the top of my head. It really made my face look small. Later, the hair seam was pulled wider and wider, and I could see a big white seam when facing the light. I changed it to a loose low ponytail or a shark clip for half a year. Now there are a lot of small pieces of fetal hair growing on the hair seam, which looks very fluffy.

Anyway, what I feel now is that hair is a barometer of the body. Don’t mess with it, give it enough nutrition, and do less fancy operations, and it will naturally grow well. Those products that claim to produce hair in seven days and eliminate dandruff in three days mostly charge IQ taxes. If you really have serious hair loss and dandruff problems, just go to the dermatology department of the hospital and get a consultation. It will be more effective than any other product you buy.
