Methods for improving hair and accelerating hair growth

Now in the modern world of stress, a crazy pace of life, a polluted atmosphere, it is difficult to meet women (men are also interested in this question) who are satisfied with their hair, their hairstyle. How often we meet people on the street who have not just bad hair, but bad hair. Struggling to survive in a harsh world, women are increasingly losing not only their charm, but also their hair. I, unfortunately, have this problem too. I thought about it often, applied something on my hair, tried to exclude something from the application. The most important thing I understood is that there is not enough patience and regularity in performing certain procedures. But, despite this, some conclusions were drawn from our experience and from the literature read on this topic. And I would like to share all my acquisitions.

Hair reflects the general condition of your body. Thick, shiny hair indicates that you have no health problems, any beautiful girl wants thick, healthy hair. Why does our hair hurt? Unfortunately, it is impossible to give a short answer to this question.

Hair consists of two parts: visible - the shaft and the hair follicle, which lies in the thickness of the skin. The bulb is located in the hair follicle. Blood vessels and nerve endings are suitable for the hair follicle. The ducts of the sebaceous glands open into the hair follicle. The fat secreted by these glands covers the hair, gives it shine and elasticity. Thanks to nutrition, the cells of the bulb multiply, the hair lengthens and gradually comes to the surface, turning into a rod. The shaft consists of three layers: the central (medullary) layer, the cortical layer, which contains the grains of the dye that determines the hair color, and, finally, the scaly layer (cuticle). In healthy hair, the scales fit snugly together. Under the influence of the temperature factor, hair dulling (fleece) or as a result of chemical exposure, the adhesion of the scales is disturbed, and this can lead to the death of the hair.

Hair is 88% protein, which is a chain of amino acids. The most abundant amino acid found in hair is called cysteine. This substance is required for the assimilation of selenium, and also contains sulfur, helps to neutralize some toxic substances and protects the body from the damaging effects of radiation, and also participates in the formation of collagen and improves the elasticity and texture of the skin. One of the most powerful antioxidants, while its antioxidant effect is enhanced by the simultaneous intake of vitamin C and selenium.

Hair growth slows down due to poor grooming, sluggish circulation and the use of improperly matched hair care products and styling techniques. Nutrient deficiencies can lead to stunted hair growth, weakening and hair loss.
Very often, a lack of hormones also leads to hair loss. So, a deficiency of growth hormone leads to the fact that the hair loses volume, stops curling.

Lack of thyroid hormones contributes to diffuse hair loss. They split, break, grow slowly. In the case where severe hair loss leads to baldness, you need to suspect a deficiency of a whole series of hormones.
If the secretion of the pituitary gland is depleted, then the endocrine glands also weaken their work. Here you need to see a doctor, as hormone treatment should be done under the supervision of an experienced specialist. It is not recommended to wear a wig during treatment, as in this case the flow of blood to the scalp slows down, which interferes with the effect of hormones.

Although the presence of hair on the head of a person is not a vital necessity for his existence, they play a significant role in the mental balance of a person. The scalp is the most visible part of our appearance. Unfortunately, many of us lose our hair prematurely, and we all take care of it more or less every day.
For healthy hair to grow normally, minerals such as calcium, chromium, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, silicon, selenium, sulfur and zinc are needed. Sulfur is essential for the production of collagen and keratin, which in turn are essential for healthy hair. Beta carotene also promotes hair growth. This nutrient is not a vitamin, but is converted into vitamin A in the body. The best sources of beta-carotene are green and yellow vegetables and fruits: carrots, tomatoes, watercress, cauliflower, spinach, mango, pumpkin, melon, apricots, and also other fruits and vegetables with bright colors. Biotin is also very important for hair structure and growth. Eggs, milk and dairy products, grains, fish, fruits, vegetables (especially cauliflower), mushrooms, walnuts, brown rice, and brewer's yeast are excellent sources of biotin and other B vitamins. Pregnancy vitamins also promote hair growth.

Protection from negative environmental factors (UV radiation, tobacco, chlorinated water, smog) can be provided by vitamins A, E, F, which have antioxidant properties. Best sources: fish oil, liver, kidney, eggs and dairy products, especially milk and butter, vegetable oils.

If you have stunted hair growth, your body cannot provide your scalp with the nutrients it needs for normal hair growth. In this case, the follicles become passive. They seem to "freeze", although they retain all their functions. When the right nutrients enter the follicles, new hair begins to grow rapidly.

The most effective transfer of nutrients is considered to be through the blood stream - you take various vitamins and supplements, nutrients that enter the bloodstream and are distributed throughout the body.

Various oils also have a beneficial effect on hair, since they contain a huge amount of fatty acids necessary for the body. The oil is perfectly absorbed into the scalp and regenerates the hair roots. Applying the oil strengthens the hair follicles, which in turn improves blood circulation in the scalp and stimulates hair growth.

A thorough massage also helps to improve blood circulation to the scalp. Massaging the scalp stimulates the hair follicles, which also accelerates hair growth. Try to massage your scalp for at least 10 to 15 minutes each day. If the hair falls out excessively or the scalp is affected by any disease, you cannot massage without consulting a doctor!

Whatever your hair may seem "inferior", try to treat it carefully and with love - this is the rule to start your hair care.

Try to follow all the rules listed below and the results will not keep you waiting long.

It is better to use soft water when shampooing. To do this, add baking soda or borax to ordinary tap water at the rate of 1 teaspoon per 2 liters of water, or boil the water for a long time, and then let it settle. It is not recommended to wash with rainwater or melted snow, as environmental pollution makes this water unusable. Instead of soap for oily hair, you can use dry mustard by dissolving 1 tablespoon in 3-4 liters of water. Wash your hair with a warm solution.

When choosing shampoos, you should pay attention to the pH level (pH is potential hydrogen, the amount of which in the detergent determines the level of its acidity). If the pH is between 0 and 7, shampoo refers to acidic, and if its value is from 7 to 14 - to alkaline.The higher the pH level, the more intense the shampoo's effect, so products with a high value are best for oily hair, and with a low value for dry hair.

After washing, it is not recommended to squeeze or wipe the hair strongly, as this may cause it to become brittle or begin to fall out. It is best to wrap them in a warm terrycloth towel.
Hair can be dried outdoors as it will not be damaged. To improve the access of oxygen to the scalp during the drying process, they must be combed gently.
rare comb... Drying with a hair dryer is a rather harmful procedure for hair. Hair loses shine and becomes brittle when exposed to hot air. Therefore, during drying, the hairdryer should be kept at a distance of at least 30 cm from the hair, and the air stream should be directed from their roots to the ends. It is advisable to use a hair dryer with warm or cold air, as hot air dries out the hair. Better yet, use your hair dryer as little as possible.

Wet hair should not be combedsince this weakens them, it is best to carry out this procedure no earlier than 15 minutes after washing. Dry hair should be combed slowly
and carefully, as sudden movements can damage the hair. Long hair should be brushed starting at the ends and working towards the roots. Comb first hair on the back of the head, then on the sides, and finally - on the top of the head.

Use a good hairbrush, preferably natural bristle. Metal brushes and hairbrushes destroy the scales. If your hair is sensitive and thin, you can quickly notice it - it becomes dull and even thinner.

Try to visit the hairdresser regularly, at least once every one and a half to two months. This will help speed up the rate of hair growth.

Take a contrast shower to improve blood circulation.

Avoid stress, get more rest and relax properly. Go to bed early and try to get enough sleep.

Hair contains a lot of water, so try to drink up to two liters of liquid daily. It is the hydration of the hair that gives it its natural healthy look and shine.

Eat a balanced diet... Don't drink a lot of coffee. Avoid smoking (including second-hand) if possible.

Do not expose your head to impact ultraviolet rays... From this, firstly, the body produces hormones that provoke baldness, and secondly, the hair sheath is destroyed. Wear hats hats, kerchiefs etc.

These simple tips will not only help speed up hair growth, but also improve overall health.

If you feel that something is wrong, stop using hair dryers, curlers, dyes for a while, do not under any circumstances perm.

You need to cut your hair shorter, give your hair roots a rest and gain strength.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is the latest miracle drug prescribed to accelerate hair growth and restructure hair. As a super nutritious agent, it is unmatched. MSM has long been successfully used as a hair growth accelerator.Methylsulfonylmethane is present in the tissues of all living organisms, including humans. MSM comes in food (vegetables, fruits, milk, meat, fish), but is easily destroyed during cooking. The biological effect of sulfur (methylsulfonylmethane): antioxidant, normalizing the functions of the immune system, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiallergic, antiparasitic, laxative, improving the structure of the skin, hair and nails. Sulfur (methylsulfonylmethane) is also necessary in the following situations: autoimmune diseases, psycho-emotional stress, chronic fatigue, migraine, constipation, cosmetic programs to improve the condition of hair and nails, cystitis, prevention of breast and colon cancer, snoring, etc.

With MSM deficiency, our body cannot create healthy cells. MSM provides the body with sufficient nutrients to maintain healthy skin and
hair.

I would also like to draw your attention to additional products used when washing hair.
Conditioning balms are creamy mixtures, in the composition of which
includes moisturizers and nutrients, vitamins and plant extracts. it
the product makes the hair shine, improves its structure, and reduces brittleness. The balm should be applied to damp hair immediately after washing, let stand for 2-3 minutes and rinse thoroughly. In no case should you leave it on your hair. Many companies produce two-in-one shampoos, that is, already mixed with a rinse aid. Such products are convenient, however, long-term use of such shampoos is not recommended, since the silicones contained in them eventually settle on the hair, and this negatively affects their appearance.

Instead of balm, you can use rinses prepared by yourself
(this is especially suitable for oily hair).
Blonde hair can be rinsed with a decoction of chamomile, prepared as follows
way: 2 tablespoons of chamomile pour 1 liter of boiling water, boil for 5 minutes and strain.
For rinsing dark hair, the following mixture is suitable: 2 tablespoons of tartar and the same amount of hops, pour 1 liter of boiling water, boil for 20 minutes, strain.

For thin weakened hair, balms containing polymers, collagens,
silk proteins, panthenol and keratin. It should be remembered that balms with a high content
panthenol is not recommended to be used more than 1 time per month.
Coloring conditioners-conditioners not only improve the condition of the hair, but give
them in various shades, enliven natural hair color... These products are much healthier than regular hair dyes. Weak thinning hair can be rinsed with a balm containing calcium compounds, keratin, proteins, collagens that envelop
hair and penetrate inside, nourishing it.

Conditioners do not have the healing properties of conventional balms, they only improve
the appearance of the hair. Apply conditioner to washed, damp hair for a few minutes and then rinse. This product is not recommended to be used too often, as some of it remains on the hair even after rinsing, and this may negatively affect them.

a rare comb. Drying with a hairdryer is a rather harmful procedure for hair, but the destructive effect of hot air can be reduced if you remember some rules. During drying, the hair dryer should be kept at a distance of at least 30 cm from the hair, and the air stream should be directed from their roots to the ends. It is advisable to use a hair dryer that supplies warm or cold air, as hot air dries out the hair.It is best to use a hair dryer as
possible less often, since with frequent use, the hair loses its shine and becomes brittle.

Choose products that contain ceramides. They will restore the natural firmness and elasticity of the hair.

How to treat advertising of expensive imported shampoos and other "miraculous" hair care products?
Caution does not hurt here. Let's just say that one "miraculous" popular hormonal agent at first glance really slows down hair loss, but at the same time increases hormonal imbalance. That is, it does not heal, but temporarily masks. As for shampoos with provitamins, they are useful for one type of hair, but they are dangerous for another. Therefore, before using, you need to consult your doctor.

Not everyone can afford to buy ready-made products, and some of us prefer to use folk remedies.
