The long-awaited vacation at sea always brings a lot of positive emotions. And how could it be otherwise, when finally it is possible to postpone all the problems and plunge into the carefree world of solar heat and sea entertainment. It is natural that precious moments of rest do not want to spend on everyday hair care. Meanwhile, the luxurious head of hair, yielding to the influence of the scorching sun and salty sea water, gradually turns into building material for the cuckoo's nest.
No need to be upset, this situation is far from unique, and even more so, not hopeless. With the help of the tips below, you can restore your health and shine in a fairly short period of time.
Cut the split ends
No need to entertain the hopes that with the help of miraculous masks and procedures forked ends of the hair again connected. This will not happen. Therefore, the only right decision in such a situation is the merciless cutting of the ends. Thanks to this simple procedure, the hair will visually become thicker and healthier.
Visit the sauna
Under the influence of sunlight decreases the activity of the sebaceous and sweat glands of the head, which provide hydration of the hair. To return the long-suffering head of hair shine and silkiness, you should visit the sauna and how to sweat. And if during the bath procedures you additionally use a hair mask, the healing effect will increase several times.
Eat more protein
Summer heat and sea air do not dispose of heavy food in the form of meat or milk. Especially when there are so many fresh fruits and vegetables around. But, no matter how useful and tasty such a diet is, oranges and tomatoes cannot be deficient in protein. But it is this substance that is the building material for all structures of the body, including the hair. Therefore, on arrival home, feel free to rest on meat, eggs, legumes and dairy products.
Make wellness masks
To this end, it is not necessary to visit expensive beauty salons or comb specialty shops in search of miraculous and incredibly expensive products. You can make a wellness hair mask on your own, especially since the main ingredients are patiently waiting for your finest hour in your refrigerator. You can take one of the above combinations as a basis:
2 tbsp. l olive oil +2 yolks + 1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. l honey + 1 tbsp. l aloe juice
1 tbsp. l burdock oil + 1 tsp. cognac + 1 tsp. honey + 1 yolk,
1 tbsp. l castor oil + 1 egg + 1 tsp. glycerin + 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar.
Vitaminize hair
Vitamin E, which can be purchased at any pharmacy, has a powerful healing effect for hair. It is sold as an oil solution in a capsule. It is necessary to treat the dry ends of the hair with this substance, and after 20 minutes, rub the raw yolk into the roots. After a quarter of an hour, the hair is washed with warm water and rinsed with a decoction of herbs (chamomile, nettle, St. John's wort, burdock). After such procedures, the hair will acquire a healthy shine and silkiness.
Do head massage
Massages improve blood circulation in the tissues, which is essential for better hair nutrition. Massage procedures can be carried out both personally and with the help of special devices (massagers for the head, massage brushes). Giving 5-10 minutes a day to these pleasant procedures, in two weeks you will notice that your hair began to grow faster and acquired a healthier look.
Do not rush to dye your hair
Do not pay attention to regrown roots or overwhelming desire to urgently change the hair color. Postpone staining and other chemical procedures for at least a month. Give your hair time to recover and get stronger, they will be very grateful to you for that.
Now you know how to restore hair beauty and health. Feel free to start the recovery procedure, and after a couple of weeks your hair will be the object of admiration for men and the envy of women.
Why is hair damaged?
The top layer of our hair consists of keratin scales that protect the hair from the harmful effects of the environment. During rest, this very protection weakens significantly from strong sun, salt water, moist air and inadequate care. After all, you see, on vacation you don’t always want to make masks and other treatments.
The saddest thing is that all these factors affect the hair very much. And in just a few weeks, a beautiful head of hair can look like a piece of tow.
From olive oil
To prepare, take:
- olive oil - 2 tablespoons,
- chicken yolks - 2,
- lemon juice - a teaspoon.
By the way, the juice can be replaced with 1-2 drops of lemon essential oil.
All ingredients need to be mixed and applied to damp hair for half an hour. Mask is better to keep under cellophane and a towel.
To fully restore hair, weakened after the sea, apply this mask 3 times a week for 6-8 weeks.
From aloe and honey
To prepare you need to mix honey and aloe (1 tablespoon). Keep the mixture on the hair should be about 40 minutes. Then you need to wash your hair (if necessary 2 times).
The optimal frequency of this mask is once a week for 2 months. Do not forget about other care products, such as rinsing with herbs.
Burdock oil
The main ingredients of this mask are:
- burdock oil - 1 tablespoon,
- Cognac - 1 tsp,
- honey - 1 tsp,
- yolk - 1.
If the hair is very brittle, then you can add 1 capsule of vitamin E.
The mask should be kept for 30-40 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with shampoo. Treatment continues for 4-6 weeks. The mask should be applied 2 times a week.
Castor oil
This mask is recommended to be applied if the hair is not very brittle, but it does not shine at all and does not obey.
- castor oil - 1 tablespoon,
- chicken egg - 1 piece
- glycerin - 1 tsp,
- apple cider vinegar - 1 tsp.
The mask keeps on hair about 40 minutes. The optimal frequency of the procedure is 2 times a week for 4-6 weeks.
Do not forget to rinse!
It is, of course, about herbs. Broths of chamomile, burdock, nettle, St. John's wort, birch leaves can quickly improve the condition of your hair. Read more about rinsing in the article How to use herbs for hair?
It is best to combine rinsing and hair masks after the sea.
And by the way, especially do not flatter yourself if in 1-2 weeks you will notice shine and hair will be slightly better. It should be so. However, this is not the final result. Remember! Hair restoration lasts at least 1 month.
How to care for hair at sea?
In order not to restore hair after a holiday, it is recommended to follow simple rules at resorts.
- First, you need to wear hats, especially if you plan to spend a lot of time under the scorching sun. Hats, baseball caps, bandanas are an excellent protection against UV rays, sunstroke, pollution and so on.
- Secondly, it is recommended to purchase shampoos, balms and other products with UV protection before the release.
After swimming and especially diving in seawater, you should carefully wash your hair in fresh water. And do not interfere with rinsing with herbs, such as chamomile.
“Beautiful and Successful” hopes that thanks to our advice your hair after the sea will quickly recover and become even more beautiful and stronger than it was before the holidays.
How to restore hair: first aid
If there was no opportunity to be engaged in hair health at rest, then immediately after returning from the sea, they should be given due attention. First of all, you need to visit the hairdresser and cut off the split ends, after which you can engage in treatment.
Before you restore hair, you must abandon procedures such as dyeing, highlighting, perm. It is advisable to avoid even an ironing machine for hair and a hairdryer, use less varnish and skin. Means for hair care need to pick up special - with a regenerating complex, vitamins, moisturizing effect. The most effective of them belong to the line of professional cosmetics and are sold in specialized stores. Return the elasticity of hair vitamin E, which can be purchased at each pharmacy. For hair roots, it is necessary to purchase special medicinal sprays or serums based on medicinal plants.
Masks and rinses for hair restoration
An effective and fast way to restore hair health is to make nourishing masks. Natural remedies are good for hair and are available. The most simple and effective repair masks:
- From olive oil (20 g. Butter, 2 yolks, 10 g. Lemon juice).
- Aloe with honey (one tablespoon of each component. Onion juice can be used instead of aloe).
- Kefir (0.5 tbsp. Kefir, a vial of vitamin E, jojoba oil).
- Burdock oil with honey (mix the ingredients in equal proportions, add a teaspoon of brandy and 1 egg yolk).
- From castor oil (20 g. Oil 10 g. Glycerin and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 egg).
- Bread (100 grams of black stale bread soaked in warm kefir, add 40 grams of vegetable oil - olive, burdock, or other, 30 grams of honey. You can add 2-3 drops of essential oil - rosemary, ylang-ylang, lavender will do) .
To restore hair, masks must be used twice a week, for a month or more. The mask is applied to washed, still wet hair, after which they should be covered with cellophane and a towel, hold for up to 40 minutes, then wash off the mask with shampoo (if necessary, 2 times). Irregular procedures will also give effect, but it will not be sustainable.
Masks can be combined with hair restoration such as herbal infusions for rinsing. For this, decoctions of chamomile, nettle, St. John's wort, burdock, birch leaves are used. A week after the therapeutic rinsing, the healthy shine of the hair will be noticeable, and a month later we can talk about the restoration of their structure.
How to help fast recovery
How and how to quickly restore hair after sun and sea? Beauty salons offer procedures for the restoration of the keratin layer of hair - this is the ideal treatment option, fast and effective. Of course, you can get by in more affordable ways at home - masks, vitamins, therapeutic rinsing. The main thing is to perform the procedures regularly (you can even daily), alternate various components, selecting the most effective ones, and try less often to expose the hair to new stress.
What happens to our hair in the summer?
Our hair is very affected in the summer from ultraviolet radiation, it is a fact.
The sun literally “burns” them, dries up to the impossibility, deprives them of their natural fat layer and life type ...
The impact of salt water is identical.
Hair becomes stiff, dull, dry, brittle, stick out in different directions, lose elasticity, absolutely do not want to resist styling, fall out ...
And to add to this constantly dry summer air, burning and soot of exhaust gases in the city overheated from the sun ... The list goes on ... And it becomes quite sad ...
ESPECIALLY suffer from this hair, which was permed perm, as well as those dyed with chemical dyes ...
Let's solve the problem!
"Ambulance" for damaged hair
So, let's begin in order to disassemble how to restore the hair after all these damaging factors:
- Trim the tips
First, girls, it’s still necessary to go to the salon and cut off the ends of burnt hair!
Even if it is not only the tips, but much more! Even if you do not want to do this and feel sorry for the length that has been grown for so long and diligently!
Believe, it is necessary to make it! Why?
Firstly, because so the hair will look tidier. And any styling will already look much better!
Secondly, the fact that TOO TOO dry and brittle at the tips will still not be returned, and you will only suffer and get upset trying to change what is not possible to change ...
A few centimeters "minus" - it's not scary! Hair grow back very quickly!
- The second is a scalp massage.
Daily and necessarily!
Without this, nowhere! No masks and magical-natural balms and capsules for hair will not help if the scalp does not have an active blood circulation that will nourish the hair follicles.
Besides the fact that massage itself strengthens the hair, promotes their growth, improves their appearance in principle.
It is through hair follicles that our hair gets all the necessary components for our health and beauty from what we eat!
Unhealthy bulbs - no strength, no health and beauty in the hair. It is a fact.
Therefore, the rule is this: every day, in the morning and in the evening, be sure to massage the scalp with a massage brush, carefully, with force, do not be afraid, you will not harm anything! Well, without fanaticism, of course ...
Our task is to feel a rush of blood to the scalp, so that the skin already “burns” for several minutes after the massage.
During the day, remember this and massage the skin. Just a minute!
You can use your fingers, you can comb (better than natural, I have here from the Crimean juniper, I strongly advise!).
- Hair masks
The third is your personal course of treatment (restoration) of your hair at home with the help of masks. Masks are “our everything” !!
Perfectly moisturize and nourish the hair with burdock, castor and olive oils.
Another coconut, sesame, jojoba and avocado oil - all lovely!
Almond, apricot kernel oil, grape seed oil is excellent too!
The simplest thing is to rub the oil into the scalp.
IMPORTANT! You do not get fooled by the fact that they write pretty often that the masks should be applied to the hair BEFORE washing them and on DRIED hair. Masks (even as simple as oil and nothing more) are applied only to NET hair! ONLY. And slightly wet.
- Why wet?
The moisture remaining inside the hair shaft is “sealed” on top of the thinnest oil film from the applied mask, and the hair after the procedure becomes an order of magnitude ALREADY moisturized, more alive, more elastic, less broken ...
- Why precisely clean hair?
Because PURE hair is able to absorb the most of the useful substances from a mask that, strictly speaking, we have the goal of “delivering” into it! Logical, isn't it?
You would not even think of applying a face mask without carefully washing your face? Or over makeup?
Therefore, in the furnace all the tips about masks BEFORE washing your head! And also such "experts", advising such nonsense!
I will say right away - it is better to combine oils by mixing several types of oils.
Each oil will give something of its own, and we will get a more effective means, and, therefore, the result will be better!
- Your oil (the amount depends on the length and thickness of your hair) + egg yolk (perfectly nourishes and restores hair!).
- Oil + yolk + vitamins A and E in oil (buy at the pharmacy).
- Oil + honey + vitamins A and E + aloe juice (a wonderful thing for restoring and moisturizing hair!).
- Oil + honey + mumiyo (super hair restores!) + Essential oils (rose, neroli, lavender, ylang-ylang, orange are the best!).
Here these masks let them be your basis, guideline. The main thing is oil.
And REGULAR application. Believe me, even this ALREADY will be enough for the effect! And do not believe it is better, but CHECK!
- How to make masks?
So, the hair was washed, DONE (remember this!) And put an oil mask on the hair.
Put on top a plastic cap and MANDATORY wrapped with a thick towel.
My "trick"! After another visit to the sauna, I take a shower, put on a hair mask, wrap my head with a towel and sit in a waiting room, continuing my SPA procedure, and at this time a mask is actively working on my hair !!
Strong heat contributes to the fact that much more nutrients from the mask are absorbed into the hair.
And the steamed scalp gratefully “consumes” the part that is due to it!
Sooo advise such a "trick" effect, well, at times better, check!
- Shampoos and balsams for dry hair
Next (in my opinion, the fourth?) - This is your shampoos, balms and hair conditioners.
They must be urgently replaced with soft products for dry, brittle and damaged hair!
ALL without exception! BUT, only that they are without damaging factors like SlS. More here
These products clean, nourish and moisturize your hair wonderfully. They are able to compensate for the strong loss of moisture from the hair and sebum, without which our hair can not be healthy.
It is desirable that they contain special components:
- keratin,
- panthenol,
- collagen,
- herbal extracts
- extracts from berries and fruits,
- oils
- vitamins, as well as components that are able to smooth the scaly hair layer
I can recommend these:
EO Products, Keratin Conditioner, Sulfate, Coconut and Hibiscus Free
Weleda, Oatmeal Regenerating Shampoo, 6.4 fl oz
Keratin Shampoo, Revitalizing Formula, 16 fl oz
Great and powerful stuff, girls!
Beauty ampoules contain nutritional and regenerating components in a CONCENTRATED form! They are about 10-15 times more ceramides than in the same balsams, conditioners!
They penetrate the hair, its root and the core much better. Therefore, the effect is much better!
Well, and of course do not forget about the bady and superfoods: coconut oil inside, fish oil, spirulina, pollen, mummy, etc.
From serums and dietary supplements I can advise these:
- Chic vitamins for hair restoration with millet oil extract
Natrol, NuHair, serum for thinning hair
Although many people use ONLY home-made masks and are sooo happy too!
See for yourself, try, experiment, choose from all the tips what will be effective for YOU!
- The sixth is our food.
First, until you restore your hair, in any case, do not go on any diet there, especially low-calorie!
From the restrictions in nutrition, your hair will suffer in the first place!
What do hair like?
These are all vegetables and fruits, eggs, seafood, all nuts, seeds (sunflower, sesame, flax, pumpkin seeds, etc.), greens.
Details about hair products, I wrote in this article
And yes, be sure to buy a good vitamin complex and drink it. You will not regret it, it is 100%! I drink these vitamins like Garden of Life, KIND Organics, Women's Once Daily
- Sport for hair
Seventh is ... what would you think, huh? Do not guess! SPORT! Yes Yes! This is exactly the way!
Imagine, very, very recently, scientists said that if you are actively involved in sports during hair restoration, your hair will recover MUCH FASTER.
The reason is simple - as usual, it is an increase in blood circulation.
Active blood circulation is a pledge of Beauty and Youth, and hair - as well.
And from myself I offer you such a "trick": when you wash your hair, then do it not in the shower, standing, but leaning over the bathroom. Why?
Blood circulation, the old, good blood circulation, without which there is nowhere!
When we tilt the head down, blood flows to the scalp very strongly. You will literally feel the ripple! So, there is a “contact”!
And after washing the head - running to the mat, in the pose of "birch"! Blood circulation is still THAT, I will tell you! Kidding)
Although, why not? Not only the scalp begins to pulsate, but also the skin of the face, and well, sooo powerful!
No wonder this yoga asana is considered the most rejuvenating! Try it!
Important points!
And finally, one more thing:
- Do not wait for the result "straight-right-tomorrow"! Give your hair a couple of weeks. At this time, actively engage in their recovery (masks, food, sports, etc.).
- Until you restore the hair - completely forget to dye your hair or, God forbid, do a perm!
- The following is the regularity of the masks. This word - regularity - is the whole “secret secret”. Not in the “magic” composition of a mask, but in their regularity! Optimally - three times a week. This is in the period of active recovery, at the very beginning. After a month, you can go into normal mode, one week - one mask.
- I have always said, and I will say that the best thing is “not to cure, but to warn”, prevention is always better than treatment that is exhausting ...
- Therefore, it is MANDATORY to use hair products with sun filters in the summer and cover your head with headgear!
- After shampooing, it will be great to use herbal rinses. Just super! Do not be lazy, brew yourself chamomile, calendula, leaves and birch buds, nettles, burdock root.
- Do you know how I am doing so that laziness will not break me? I make a decoction in advance! Yes Yes! While I'm spinning in the kitchen, I’m cooking something there ... I took it and made some herbs ... Cool, strained, and in the fridge. Everything!
- When the time comes to wash your hair, you will no longer think of something like “yes laaadno ... yes the next raaaz already ... I'm tired
- And yes, add essential oils to herbal rinsing, do the so-called “aroma polish”
Well, in my opinion, she said everything she remembered ...
If I missed something, forgive me, this topic is very extensive, I could have forgotten something ... Therefore, ask your questions in the comments, ask, do not hesitate!
I will answer all necessarily and with pleasure!
I hope that this article will serve you well in restoring and preserving the Beauty of your hair.
