Next, we reveal the most frequent questions and answers about hair care.
Wash every day or just one a week?
Some experts say you have to wash your hair every day, while others say it's enough to clean it once a week. Perhaps the best option is not one or the other, but a middle point. According to other experts, your hair should be cleaned every 3 days and for 6 minutes. The amount of shampoo to be used is the size of a hazelnut (or nut, depending on the length of the hair), and should be done with a neutral shampoo and conditioner (or mask, every 2 weeks or so).
How do you wash your hair?
If hair and scalp are normal, the right thing to do is wash your hair every 3 days. What process should be followed? Apply shampoo, massage the scalp to promote circulation, and add little by little water to mix the product well while still massaging the scalp.
Does a lot of hair wash favor your fall?
Experts deny a capillary myth: washing a lot of hair does not favor its fall. The hair that falls is "old" hairs, those that have finished their life cycle so the washing does not affect their loss, there is nothing to do anymore.
What kind of shampoo is there to use?
A soft and neutral shampoo that does not contain its composition, alcohol, fragrances or preservatives should be used. This is necessary to avoid scalp irritation or even allergies. Those with any pathology, such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis or alopecia, it is recommended to alternate neutral shampoo with a specific treatment shampoo to treat the problem.
Cosmetic shampoos (for smooth, curly or dyed hair) can be used both continuously and in combination.
What is the required dose?
The key to good washing is in the dose of the product: it is enough to apply the measure of a hazelnut for short hair and Mane stockings, and a nut for long hair.
If you wash your hair on a daily basis, just apply the product to the roots, since shampoo already falls on means and tips and you Don't need to apply or rub thoroughly on the rest of the Mane. Only one shampoo application is recommended.
The use of conditioner, yes or no?
In each wash you should always use conditioner, and every 10 days or so it is advisable to use a mask to moisturize your hair in depth. But the two products should never be used together; the mask should be a substitute for the conditioner. On the other hand, the mask can be left unclarified as long as it has only been applied to media and tips. In the roots it can alter the balance of the scalp so it is not advisable, nor leave it set and rise in the sun.
Should athletes wash their hair more often?
The answer is yes. The sweat is dirty because the hair is after all a fiber, and as such, absorbs the environmental odors. Athletes or people who spend a lot of time in a kitchen or enclosed environments need to increase the frequency of washing.
How should I clear my hair?
The rinse must last at least three minutes (if it is long it should last longer) and must be done with warm water. It is optimal to apply cold water at the end as it seals the cuticle, facilitates untangle and provides more brightness.
