What does hair health care include?

The current hair health care programs on the market actually focus on the three dimensions of scalp, hair, and hair follicles. When broken down by scenario, they are nothing more than home care that everyone can do on a daily basis, and hospital care that requires professional operations. It is not as complicated and mysterious as everyone thinks.

Take the hair masks and hair care oils that we usually apply after washing our hair. They are actually the most basic hair care items. They are mainly used to fill the vacancies in the hair cuticles and improve the problem of dry and split ends after perming and dyeing. I used to perm the ends of my hair with wool curlers. For a month, every time I washed my hair, I applied a thick layer of jojoba oil to the ends of my hair, wrapped it in a cap and steamed it for 10 minutes. The ends of my hair that were originally split to the roots no longer split after cutting off 10 centimeters. The red light combs, electric massage combs, and scalp essences that have become popular in the past two years are also in the category of home care. They mainly help relax the scalp and improve local blood circulation. They are suitable for daily maintenance of people with excessive hair loss and gradually widening hair gaps. However, there is also controversy here. Some people think that these are IQ taxes. It is better to comb your hair twice a day by hand. In fact, as long as you can persist in using it, whether it is a tool or a hand comb, the improvement of scalp blood supply is real. The difference is just the efficiency.

After all, hair follicles are like the roots of hair. If the roots are blocked, inflamed or lacking nutrients, just applying them on the surface is definitely not enough. If you have problems that cannot be solved with home care, such as recurrent dandruff, red and itchy scalp rashes, or if you can clearly see the shrinkage of hair follicles and hair gaps that are too wide to cover, you can consider professional projects in the hospital. Nowadays, the most common method in the hospital is deep cleaning of the scalp. A cleansing mud mask mixed with salicylic acid or fruit acid is used to soften old dead skin cells, and then high-pressure pulse water is used to wash away the grease plugs in the mouth of the hair follicles. Many people who spray hair spray and dry hair spray all year round can feel that the freshness of the scalp can last for three or four days after the first time. People who rarely suffer from recurring dandruff are actually suffering from excessive proliferation of Malassezia. Ordinary anti-dandruff shampoos can only suppress it temporarily, but combining it with hospital cleansing + medicated lotions can stabilize it for a long time. However, some people say that their itching worsens after doing it. The essence is that they have not chosen the right concentration. High-concentration salicylic acid will of course irritate sensitive skin. There are also red and blue light irradiation, mesodermal nutrition introduction, and even hair transplant surgery for people with hair loss. These are all in the category of professional maintenance. I should also mention here that many people think that hair transplant is a once-and-for-all solution. In fact, it is not the case. A friend of mine had a hairline transplant two years ago. After the operation, he ignored the original hair and stayed up late drinking milk tea every day. Now nearly one-third of the original hair has been lost, but the transplanted hair follicles are still alive. It seems that the connection between the hair seam and the hairline is particularly strange.

To put it bluntly, when choosing a maintenance program, you don’t need to blindly follow the recommendations of Internet celebrities. First, go for a free hair follicle test to find out whether your hair is damaged, your scalp is inflamed, or your hair follicles are not active enough. The most cost-effective option is to choose the right one.
