Natural hair care without silicone
In many shampoos, rinses and hair treatments is the substance that makes optically beautiful hair: silicone. Silicone forms a film around each hair, making it beautifully smooth, combable, soft and shiny. All good? Silicone also has disadvantages that have led many hair wearers to care for their hair in the future silicone-free.
The silicone's dark side
Silicone only fixes a film around the hair,? Repaired? will not do anything. Split ends, hair breakage, dryness is just hidden. The silicone film is both air and waterproof. On the one hand this protects the hair, on the other hand it means that other care products can not get to the hair. So if you wash with silicone-containing shampoo, can save the subsequent hair cure. If you have dry hair now, you will get drier and drier hair over time, because the moisture will not go away. It can also happen that the scalp begins to fat, on the one hand because silicone clogs the pores, on the other hand to restore the disturbed balance. In addition, since silicone is insoluble in water, the film is not simply washed away with the next hair wash. It simply deposits another layer on top of it. This is also called silicone build up and the consequences are that over time the hair gets heavier and loses volume. Dyeing, tinting or perming can also affect the silicone layer and lead to unpredictable results. And we do not talk about possible allergies here.
Away from the silicone? a hard time
If you want to do without silicone in your hair in the future, you first have to survive a dry spell. The transitional period is long? a few weeks you have to plan before you go back? I have the hair nice? can sing. First you have to remove the grown silicon tank. There are also cleansing shampoos specially designed for this purpose. If the hair is free again, you can first see the true condition of the hair. Some get off lightly with a Struppi time of several weeks, others have such a large amount of damage that a cut is the only option. But now begins the era of true hair care.
Hair care in a natural way: the washing
Point 1: comb well before washing, but carefully comb through. This removes dirt and ensures easy combing afterwards.
Point 2: Always wash your hair at a lukewarm temperature. Too hot water will dry out.
Point 3: Wet your hair well and use only a little shampoo. It is best to dilute the shampoo. Just massage the scalp and neck gently with your fingertips. For the lengths of the shampoo, which comes along while rinsing.
Point 4: Rinse well and thoroughly and not too hot.
Point 5: Rinse cold for a short time. Hair has a scale on the outside and the cold water closes it. If left open, split ends can occur and the hair is neither smooth nor shiny. You can also use a conditioner, but please without silicone!
Drying and styling
The hair is dripping wet, now comes the towel. Never rub, rub or rinse with dripping wet with a brush. It is best to wrap the towel around the head, gently squeeze it and let it soak until the hair is really dry to the touch. Then you can start to comb carefully? Brushing is not announced at this stage. Now you can also incorporate some oil? which oil does not really matter as long as it's just one or two drops.
The hair dryer must be like the water: Lukewarm. Hot air is the death of beautiful hair? that dries out, makes you shaggy, opens the hair structure. At the end, still blow-dry, then put on the dandruff again.
Actually logical: If heat is bad for the hair, neither the trowel nor the curling iron can be good for it. If possible, refrain from constant use of the same. Exceptional heat styling for a special event, the hair but ever starting.
