Without a doubt, hair is the most obstinate part of our body. After all, their protest moods are manifested whenever we need to look luxurious.
Every woman knows only one way to curl up her curls, which is to work hard all the morning. And only one effective tactic of healing hair - to pretend that you do not care for it deeply.
We have gathered a dozen habits that bring you closer to Britney Spears' signature hairstyle - a shred of tired, colorless cobwebs, who want to quickly find themselves in the kingdom of cuts and washed into the toilet. Do you want another fate for your curls? Read our list carefully. So, girls who do not go bald categorically can not ...
Pour half a bottle of shampoo on the head at once. The more the better - this is not a rule about cosmetics at all.
Cut yourself. Your home scissors may be sharp enough for you to cut them painfully, but absolutely for sure - too stupid for hairdressing. When you cut the split ends yourself, you think you gnaw them with your teeth. Do you think it contributes to recovery?
Twist the hair strands on your finger. Pull the tail. Smooth "roosters". Generally remove your hands from the hair. They are so eager for independence.
Use rubber bands with metal elements. By themselves, the gum, which you love to tighten in time unwashed hair - the ideological enemies of shiny hair. But if they are also scratched ... Executioners, not otherwise.
To go without a headdress. In the summer you need to hide your head from the irresponsibly scorching sun. In winter, from cold, which violates the blood circulation of the scalp. In spring and autumn - from no less harmful rains and winds. Why God did not create us at once in panama women - another mystery of the universe.
Wash hair with hot water. It may be pleasant for you to warm your own thoughts for a minute or two, but know that your hair is convinced walruses. And yes, they like the way you scream from the cold.
Wear tight tails. Try to give the impression of a femme fatale with the help of scarlet lipstick or hickeys painted on the neck - this does not harm the hairstyle.
Sit on tight diets. During a diet restriction, your hair will be second in a long queue for emigration (after the breast, of course). By the way, you need to watch the waist that has become swollen with fat with mystical calmness - stress also has a bad effect on the state of your hair.
Comb wet hair. You remember how in early childhood mom ran after you after water procedures, waving her hair with a boring brush and threatening that “later we will not comb”. So: this is another example of a small parent laziness. Because wet hair, even though they are easier to comb, they are also damaged more easily.
- To wash hair on all length. It would be more correct to wash the hair only at the roots with the help of a shampoo, where it becomes greasy. In order to wash the tips, it will be enough foam when washing off.
- Applying balm to the roots. This method of care is wrong, because the tool clogs the sebaceous glands, which leads to the rapid contamination of the hair.
- Applying a balm or mask on wet hair. In this case, part of the applied funds will be washed away with water, which will not bring the desired effect. Before applying it is necessary to remove excess moisture with a towel.
- Wash once. To thoroughly wash the hair it is necessary to do it twice. The first time he washes his hair and removes the remnants of styling products, and the second provides nutrients and volume.
- Frequent washing hair. It is undesirable to wash your hair more often 3 times a week, as the shampoo is able to wash out natural oils.
- Combing wet hair. Wet hair can be easily damaged with a comb, so it's best to wait until it dries completely.
- Blow-drying wet hair. To dry your hair faster when using a hair dryer, you need to blot them with a towel and wait a few minutes until they dry themselves.
- Wrapping with a towel. This method of drying harms the hair and strongly confuses them.
- Frequent use of styling products. It is advisable to refrain from a large amount of styling products, and when using special devices use protective lotions.
- Sleep with her hair loose. Braided hair in a braid does not tangle and do not break off during sleep.
- Rare visit to the hairdresser. Regular haircuts help get rid of the split ends, which ensures a healthy look.
- Determination of the exact cause of hair problems.
- Professional treatment and hair restoration.
- Recommendations for proper care.
- Effective result.
- Wrong shampoo. The incompatibility of the pH of the scalp and shampoo, the presence of aggressive, drying out skin, substances or components that cause allergies, etc. can play a role. Shampoo needs to be chosen especially individually, and the inscription on the tube “for oily hair” does not always play a decisive role.
- Abuse of balms and hair masks. The principle of these tools is to envelop every hair with a protective layer, so that the curls become soft and docile. However, these tools should be applied exclusively to the hair, and not rub them into the scalp. Otherwise, you can clog the sebaceous, causing disruption of sebum production.
- Incorrect water temperature. Do not wash your hair with too hot or too cold water. Because of this, the scalp is injured and sebum production is activated. Water for washing hair should be as close as possible to body temperature.
- Intensive massaging of the scalp while washing or toweling. Similar manipulations again activate the sebaceous glands.
Use a hair dryer every day. Understandably, it is difficult to dry your hair in the five minutes you set aside for your fees. But a hair dryer is very harmful.
Anticipating your thoughts: going out with a wet head is also bad. Drying with a towel is harmful. And to wash them the day before, and then go to bed is harmful. So we suggest that you step back from all the processes taking place in the world and honestly dedicate a couple of years to growing hair. No other way.
A hair care holiday - it sounds respectful.
11 bad habits
Often, girls unknowingly harm the hair, because of what they lose their natural shine, silkiness, and the tips begin to sect. There are several bad habits that worsen the condition of the hair.
Professional hair restoration
A hair treatment clinic is a special institution where qualified specialists work to help restore hair and scalp. Seeking help from professionals is due to several advantages.
Causes of oily hair: improper diet
The most common reason why hair grows fat quickly is poor diet. If a person is accustomed to consume a lot of fatty, spicy or sweet food, washing it all down with liters of black coffee, you should not be surprised that his hair loses its “marketable” appearance within a few hours after washing. Lack of nutrients with glucose deficiency cholesterol and caffeine inevitably leads to disruption of the sebaceous glands.
To avoid this, you need to minimize the use of such "delicacies" and give preference to fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meats and fish, and replace coffee with green tea or fresh juice.
Frequent shampooing
Many people think that if you wash your hair more often, your hair will get fatter more slowly. In fact, it is exactly the opposite. Sebum is not produced by the scalp to make our lives harder, but because this substance protects the skin from pathogens and adverse environmental conditions. If we wash it off more often than necessary, the body will regard it as a threat and give a signal to the sebaceous glands to work harder. Therefore, the hair will get fat even faster.
Hormonal disorders
During the period of hormonal changes, the sebaceous glands begin to work harder, trying to compensate for the body's vulnerability. A similar situation occurs during puberty, pregnancy or menstruation.
It is also possible pathological disorders of the hormonal background, caused by taking medication drugs or diseases of the endocrine system (diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, etc.). In this case, the problem should be solved by the doctor after the appropriate diagnostic studies.
Wrong shampooing
Another common cause of high fat hair. Rather, the concept of “wrong washing of the head” hides several possible reasons for why hair grows fat quickly, namely:
Causes of oily hair: diseases of internal organs
In our body, everything is interconnected. For example, in the event of diseases of the digestive system, the metabolism is disturbed, which can cause the activation of the sebaceous glands. In infectious processes in the body, body temperature rises, sweating increases, which contributes to the rapid contamination of the hair. Endocrine diseases can also cause abnormal fat content of curls. Similar problems should be solved by an appropriate doctor.
Seborrheic dermatitis
The cause of seborrheic dermatitis is a fungus that lives in the area of the sebaceous glands. With its pathological reproduction, irritation of the scalp occurs and sebum production is disturbed. As a result, dandruff appears, and the hair quickly grow fat. Seborrheic dermatitis also does not appear from scratch. It can be caused by a decrease in immunity, poor nutrition, improper hair care, or the presence of diseases of internal organs. Therefore, to undergo a medical examination and review your lifestyle in this case will not interfere.
Genetic predisposition
And finally, the only reason to neutralize which is almost impossible. If you inherited the scalp, overly saturated with sebaceous glands, in combination with thin hair, you have to accept the fact that you have to wash your hair daily for the rest of your life. True, this situation is quite rare, so before blaming genetics for your troubles, you should exclude all the other reasons listed above.
Shampooing hair
Shampoo is a gentle cleanser that is invented to cleanse the scalp, and not for the entire length of your hair. Of course, no one takes this into account. It will be correct to apply the shampoo on the scalp, foam well and distribute the foam itself over the length. Then the hair will be cleared of styling products, but more delicately.
Rub conditioner or balm in the scalp
And then exactly the opposite. The conditioner primarily performs the function of closing the scaly layer and preserving moisture in the hair structure; when applied to the scalp, it will clog the hair follicle, create sebum plugs, which can cause loss, oiliness, dandruff and a whole bunch of problems. Therefore, remember: the conditioner is applied on the length, the shampoo, as we have already found out, on the scalp.
Air Conditioner Evo Day of Grace
Use a mask instead of air conditioning
Replacing the air conditioner mask is also wrong. Masks are designed for deep filling, nourishing and moisturizing hair. They work in the deep layers of hair and, unlike the conditioner, do not have the properties to close the scaly layer. Therefore, first mask, and then - air conditioning. Seal all useful components for a long time.
Refuse indelible funds
Many say they do not like styling products, because they stain and make hair heavier. But you miss all their strengths - all modern indelible means in addition to styling properties have thermal and UV protection, as well as the ability to seal the surface structure of the hair. In order not to weight the hair, choose products with light textures and you will be happy.

Use oil on vacation
Oil treatments are very effective, but when exposed to direct sunlight, the oil does not begin to moisturize and restore, but to work as a magnifying glass, even more attracting radiation. Because of this, the hair becomes dehydrated. And the coveted beach curls turn into tow. Choose means without oils or, if you decide to arrange a holiday of disobedience, hide your hair under hats, kerchiefs and caps (underline).
Go to bed with wet hair
We know how to practice. However, here's a surprise for you - wet hair is very fragile in structure, and during wake, it always forms creases. In the morning when combing, the hair will break exactly in the place where the hall was formed. From this one can not escape, except to get rid of this habit.

Do not wear a hat
No wonder your mother taught you to wear a hat in winter. In the cold it is very important. And all because the hair first freezes, then when it enters the room, it is thawed and dehydrated from hot weather. And so 3 months in a row, and in our latitudes - and the whole six months. So listen to mom and wear a hat.
Do not care for the scalp
For the most part, this part of the body is bypassed, and in fact it is one of the most strategically important for beautiful healthy hair. You thought your scalp somehow cope? Apply skin care products to your scalp, and things will go much better. Without a healthy, well-groomed scalp there will be no beautiful hair.

Forget about protective equipment when laying
Do you want to know why it is extremely important to use thermal protective equipment during the installation of a hairdryer and any hot tools? Everything is simple and even pretty scary - the water inside the hair reaches the boiling point and “blows up” the hair from the inside. And if the hair while still wet, wait for problems. And be sure to pay attention to how you work with hot tools. The fact is that keratin in hair is destroyed at a temperature of 200 degrees and above, this process is irreversible and the hair after it cannot be restored.

Self dyeing hair
It's like drilling your teeth yourself without being a dentist. Most household dyes have high oxidants to ensure that they make the declared color, and such an aggressive effect on the hair and skin is not useful to people. A very common situation - you are distracted by household chores and overworked the paint, which resulted in damage to the hair and scalp. Plus, not everyone is able to carefully dye the hair on the back of his head and gently apply the paint. This leads to the appearance of “striped” staining, which you will have to fix long and hard.

1. Touch your face and support your chin with your hand.
Many people sit like that for hours and do not think about harm. Often we choose this position during the day, and often touch the face with our hands. You should know that while supporting your chin with your hand, your hyoid bone gradually moves, blocking blood circulation. The consequences of this are a double chin and premature aging of the skin.
If you touch your face with dirty hands, it can cause skin problems, especially if you are prone to acne and irritation.Eels that appear on the forehead are also the result of this habit.
2. We sit cross-legged
This position is especially harmful to people who have varicose veins. The flow of blood changes, and problems arise very quickly.
This posture can also cause pain in the lower back and reproductive organs. The reason - the wrong position, as well as pressure on the lower back.
3. Comb your hair after a shower.
Many comb their hair immediately after washing. Wet hair is much more vulnerable than dry hair, and combing can easily damage it.
To preserve your beauty, we recommend thoroughly drying your hair and using a towel, but without rubbing. Let them dry at room temperature and start combing from the ends.
4. For a long time in front of the TV
“No more TV shows before bed. I swear it! ”Scholarly minds have long proved the danger of a“ blue screen ”emitted by television screens, computers and mobile devices. Penetrating into the deeper layers of the skin, it activates free radicals. And they, in turn, cause skin cells to produce enzymes that destroy collagen.
The consequences are terrible: the skin ages much faster and hyperpigmentation may appear. Dermatologists do not stop talking about the poor condition of the skin "soap fanatics" and even recommend using creams for UV filters if a person spends a lot of time in front of devices. Others argue that the blue light from a different spectrum, so in this case, the cream can not help.
While the only way out is to reduce the time of using electronic devices.
5. Mobile phone before bedtime
The same blue screen interrupts melatonin production. The result is a sleep imbalance. We can not realize that we have not slept well, but our body will feel it, rest assured! In addition to aesthetic problems, this can lead to serious imbalances in the immune and endocrine systems.
Stop using your mobile phone at least one hour before bedtime!
6. Sunscreen on face only
It is no longer a secret that we must protect our skin from the sun in any place and in any situation. And it is important to wear a protector not only on the face, but also on the neckline and hands. The older we get, the more likely the development of pigment spots due to sunlight.
And, of course, be sure to take care of your neckline and neck, applying a moisturizer.
7. We pluck the eyebrows and then apply makeup
Each movement of the tweezers represents a slight injury to the skin and leaves the door open for infection. Remember this and do not do your makeup immediately after plucking the eyebrows. The ideal is to cleanse the skin with a mild disinfectant. Another recommendation is to clean the makeup brushes every two weeks. The same should be done with forceps, as it can also transmit infections.
8. Mask the greasy shine with powder
Brightness in T zone? Apply powder! But this is not a good idea if you do not want to quickly clog the pores and leave the face covered with acne.
First, remove excess oil with makeup wipes and only then apply powder. If you don’t wipe your face before you apply makeup, all the dirt and grease will remain under this layer. Obviously, it harms our skin, and brings more chances of irritation or acne.
9. We use exfoliants.
Beauticians do not really like rough scrubs. Their use can cause excessive oiliness and dry skin at the same time. The recommendation is that you change exfoliants for soft cleansing creams based on lactic or glycolic acid.
10. Chewing gum
Bad news for chewing gum lovers. What happens is that the jaw ultimately takes on various forms that can cause changes in the lower jaw and the appearance of wrinkles in the corners of the mouth, which are very difficult to correct.
For this reason, renowned dermatologist Joel Schlessinger, president of the LovelySkin.com clinic, suggests finding another alternative to breath freshness.
11. We bathe in very hot water.
You might think that a hot shower or bath is the best medicine for relaxation. But your skin will not agree. What happens is that hot water affects the skin like a sunburn, changing the natural balance. This will cause irritation, dryness and itching.
Dermatologists recommend lowering the temperature, reducing the time spent in the bath. And do not forget moisturizers and choose softer gels, preferably those that do not have a strong odor or aggressive particles.

2. You drink a lot of milk
Of course, you should not completely abandon milk. However, to know about the unpleasant consequences of abuse of this product is still necessary. As part of the milk there are androgens, which provoke a more active work of the sebaceous glands. As a result, more sebum is secreted, which clogs the pores and gives the skin a tired and oily appearance.
3. You apply sunscreen all year round only on face
Many women are already accustomed to apply sunscreen all year round, but they forget about hands. While the hands are most susceptible to the processes of aging and fat loss, which makes the veins more visible, and the UV rays “decorate” them with pigment spots and wrinkles. Do not forget to use sunscreen and for hands, especially if you are driving. And in the summer, do not forget to put the cream on the neck and décolleté.
4. Do you like to sit in a leg-on-leg position
An ugly grid of dilated veins in the legs is a direct result of pinching blood vessels and circulatory disorders. By the way, the leg-to-foot posture is fraught with stagnation of blood in the pelvic area, which is especially harmful for women (and very harmful for pregnant women). It will not be easy to control yourself, but you can buy a comfortable, computer chair that suits you and make a habit of raising your legs at any time — on a stand, an armrest of a sofa, etc.
5. Comb your wet hair.
Hair after such a procedure mercilessly split. This is a common mistake in hair care. In order not to injure your hair once again, first thoroughly blot it with a towel (just do not rub it), then walk a little with a hairdryer - only after that you can take hold of the comb and start styling.
6. Pluck eyebrows before makeup
If you decide to correct the shape of the eyebrows with tweezers, then do it in the evening, after washing. Thus, you will reduce the risk of bacteria, and around the eyebrows there will be no irritation, which then will also have to be masked by concealer.
7. All your styling tools are set to high temperatures.
When your hair is exposed to high temperatures (be it a hair dryer, forceps, or hair straightener), you create tiny bubbles inside the hair shaft. These bubbles make hair dry and brittle. To avoid this, keep the hair dryer at a distance of 15 cm from the hair, be sure to use thermal protection and set the temperature to medium.
8. Do you like to rub your eyes
Because of this bad habit, your lashes suffer, they become brittle and fall out, you also cause injury to the skin under your eyes, it turns red and you look very tired. Replace eye friction on the method of "20-20-20": look at a distance of 20 seconds every twenty minutes.
9. Do you remember the insults
A study published in the journal Behavioral Medicine in 2005 showed that there is a link between forgiveness and physical health. And if you just can not forget the old grievances, they can give you a couple of extra years. The fact is that the stress hormone (cortisol) accumulates in your body with insults. It promotes weight gain, increases blood pressure and blood sugar levels, which increases the risk of developing diabetes.
10. The habit of touching your face
You no longer notice how you prop your cheek, scratch your nose, rub your chin. The damage from this is double: the constant stretching of the skin is fraught with premature wrinkles, and if you do it with dirty hands, it is short-lived and cause infection and acne. Get rid of this habit can be as in the case of facial expressions - hard self-control.
11. Often you powder your face.
The worst thing you can do with your skin is to powder it several times a day when it gets oily shine. And it's not about how this layer of powder then looks like, but about the fact that the pores are heavily clogged. How to be? Always first blot your face with a matting cloth, and if after that you still need powder, then use it.
12. In your bag there are things for all occasions.
If your bag contains everything you need, including an umbrella, a first-aid kit, a spare pair of shoes and a thick book, your posture will most likely suffer. So do not forget to shift the bag from hand to hand or move it from one shoulder to another.
13. Do not regret nourishing cream for your face
Even the best cream can harm if you use it too actively. You should not impose a cream with a thick layer - under such a film the skin does not breathe, which means that the appearance of edemas, bruises under the eyes and an unhealthy complexion are likely. Excess cream must be removed with a napkin.
14. Abuse running
According to doctors, a fanatical attitude to this type of physical activity can only accelerate the onset of skin aging. If we are talking about a light morning jog, then, in addition to the benefits, there will be no harm to your skin.
15. You adore fresh juices
Fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals. But juices contain transcendental levels of fructose — sugar molecules travel through the blood through all the cells in your body, binding to fats and proteins. When sugar binds to collagen (namely, it gives the skin elasticity), the process of glycation occurs, which leads to the formation of wrinkles. Love cabbage freshes! Green vegetables have the highest amount of antioxidants and zinc, which prevents wrinkles.
Do not abuse curling
Hot styling with styling products is not the best friend of the hair. Regular perm with varnish and gels thinning hair. Try to expose your hair to high temperatures and use high-quality thermal protection.
