10 essential haircare tips

It is normal to lose hair. Hair is renewed throughout our lives, and has a lifespan of 3 to 5 years. We can lose between 50 and 100 hairs per day, so this should not be a cause for concern. On the other hand, when hair loss becomes greater, the lost hair cannot be replaced as quickly and this causes a decrease in hair mass. In this case, hair loss must be treated with a special anti-hair loss routine for 3 months.

The porosity of hair is its ability to absorb moisture. Porous hair is characteristic of dry hair. We observe a high degree of porosity in hair when it is damaged (by bleaching, coloring, heating appliances, etc.). It absorbs water but rejects it immediately, which explains its lack of hydration. Finally, porous hair takes a long time to dry and is also sensitive to humidity and therefore to frizz. Tip: use a mask once or twice a week to moisturize your hair and close the scales.

When you have fine to very fine hair, you should not overload your hair but moisturize it gently. After shampooing, it is preferable to use a leave-in detangler on the lengths to avoid weighing down the hair. As for masks, they should be used once every 10 days after shampooing for deeper hydration. It is important to choose a mask with a light texture for all hair types. In this case, do not use conditioner or detangling care.

It is important to dissociate the scalp from the lengths. If you have an oily scalp, you need to use a shampoo that is adapted to this type of problem, since it will purify your scalp. Choose a natural shampoo for oily scalp, without sulfates to avoid damaging it and stimulating sebum production even more. Also avoid shampoos that contain silicones because they clog the pores of the scalp and will also cause an overproduction of sebum in reaction. Tip: When rinsing your shampoo, don't use water that is too hot because it stimulates the sebaceous glands. Instead, use lukewarm water. The hair dryer also stimulates the production of sebum: make sure to keep a distance of 30cm when you dry your hair and choose a low temperature. It's best to let your hair air dry.
