The hairdresser named a way to choose the right hair care products.

Against the background of the variety of hair care products on the market, it is becoming increasingly difficult to understand which products are really beneficial. Seasonal factors also complicate the choice, as well as common problems such as brittleness, dryness, and hair loss. Alexander Pavlov, a hairdresser at the international network of Ecole training centers, told Izvestia on January 20 how not to make a mistake in choosing hair products and which components should be paid attention to.

"For hair care, it is better to use pharmacy lines and professional products presented in beauty salons. These categories of products are considered the most proven and safe for regular use, and also have a more understandable and effective composition," he said.

As for the products that, on the contrary, have no proven benefit, they can include a significant part of the products offered by the mass market, the expert warned. There are a lot of such products available now, so it is important to be able to read the formulations and understand which components should be included in the product. Many of them do not cause harm, but they also do not provide tangible benefits, especially if you have problems with your hair or scalp.

At the same time, Pavlov recommends avoiding the use of products that contain phthalates and benzenes, as they destroy the hair follicles and at the same time do not bring any benefit, but on the contrary negatively affect the condition of the hair.

The specialist also noted that some hair products remain popular, although their effectiveness raises questions.

"Often, special "healing" properties are attributed to folk remedies and methods using oils, eggs, kefir, serums and other natural products. This category also includes some cosmetic hair care procedures, such as happiness for hair, botox for hair, and in general, all keratin treatments that have recently acquired a subjective opinion from consumers about their healing and restorative properties, while in fact they are ineffective," he added. the expert.

According to the hairdresser, there are no special rules in the use of hair care. It is important to observe personal hygiene and regularly clean your hair from dirt. However, it is worth considering external factors. In summer, when the sun is active or while relaxing at sea, the hair needs protection from ultraviolet rays. For this purpose, there are special protective sprays and products that help prevent hair damage and maintain their healthy appearance. In winter, it is recommended to use moisturizing product lines for the scalp and hair.

Temperature fluctuations and dry indoor air affect the natural balance of humidification. The perfect set in the cold season: moisturizing shampoo, scalp mask, conditioner and an indelible conditioner in the form of a fluid or cream for very porous hair.

Pavlov reminded that if you have problems such as brittleness, hair loss or a violation of the scalp, it is better to contact a specialist immediately, without trying to figure it out on your own.

"For the treatment of the scalp and hair, there are trichologists who can assess the problem, choose the appropriate care, prescribe treatment and send for the necessary tests to accurately diagnose the cause and adjust the care," the expert said.

Last December, the manager of TROUVER hair care products, Li Shenhan, talking about the rules of hair care in the cold season, pointed out the importance of reducing the drying temperature of hair. According to him, hair gets a lot of stress when the owner who dried it abruptly goes out into the cold. This causes them to become brittle, electrify, and lose their luster. The specialist called for the use of saturated masks and indelible serums with keratin or natural oils in winter.
