Perfect Hair, Even In Summer!
The three natural cosmetic recipes that will make you look healthy and full of hair in the hot and beach months.
Many of the products on the market, in addition to containing many detergents and silicones, can alter the natural pH of the scalp, resulting in flaking, dryness, hair loss and, in general, dull and dull hair. The scalp is part of our skin and, like the rest of the body, it is made up of a dermis, epidermis and follicles in which hair grows. It is very important to keep it oxygenated, hydrated and with a suitable pH so that it sustains, hydrates and protects our hair.
If we do not pay attention to the root where everything originates, any solution is a wasted solution.
When we brush our hair or wash it, we are inadvertently activating the circulation of our scalp. This is very important, since we are oxygenating it and, at the same time, relaxing it. In our head we have millions of nerve endings, which with daily stress, become tense and affect not only our scalp and hair, but are responsible for those headaches and that tightness that we experience in our forehead and neck.
It is important to exfoliate our skin to remove dead cells and we are generally aware of this and there are thousands of facial and body options … but what about the head?
As I mentioned before, the scalp is part of the skin and, being covered with hair, exposed to pollution and products such as hairspray, fixatives, etc. it is even more important to exfoliate to remove all these surpluses and oxygenate the skin in depth, leaving it new. This undoubtedly has a very positive benefit on the hair, since if the scalp is more oxygenated and clean, it will grow stronger.
Clays are full of minerals and especially white clay also known as kaolin, has a soothing and hydrating effect on the skin. This enhanced with essential oils and some other homemade ingredients make an ideal mask to hydrate the scalp.
There are very simple, homemade and above all natural solutions that we can prepare at home to take care of our hair and scalp. Next I will give you some recipes to achieve it and some rituals that we can perform at home weekly.
