Whatever most readers might think, gray hair is more relevant than ever. Even young girls (sometimes boys) dye their hair on purpose to achieve a silvery hair color.
Gray hair, in addition to changing color, it changes in its structure: gray hair is drier, porous, so you need to care and moisturize them more intensively.
There are many reasons for the appearance of gray hair: it is heredity, and stress, and hormonal disruption. Even improper nutrition can affect hair pigmentation, or rather, its absence.
Since dry hair appears with the appearance of gray hair, hair care should be completely revised.
1. Choose a shampoo specifically for dry hair. And do not forget that you only need to apply shampoo to the root zone, the length will be enough for cleansing when washing off the shampoo.
This will help prevent dry hair from drying out. The best option is to purchase hair cosmetics specifically designed for gray hair.
2. Don't forget about hair conditioners. Gray hair is tougher than the rest of the hair, so softening with conditioner is very important to visually have luxurious hair on the head, and not tattered cotton wool.
Conditioners should be used after every shampoo. For the best effect, it should not be washed off completely, but leaving a little on the hair.
3. Do not forget about moisturizing hair masks, it is enough to use them only once a week.
4. Forget about curling irons, irons, hair dryers, heat rollers, etc.
Using them on a regular basis, you dry out even more dry hair. With frequent use of hot appliances, the hair may turn yellow. If you have a milestone event (all the same we will not spend our whole life at home on self-isolation) and want to make yourself, for example, curls, then be sure to use thermal protection before use.
5. Dry hair results in split ends, which always spoils the overall look of the hairstyle. Do not forget to renew your haircut and trim the ends every 1.5-2 months.
6. Remember that ultraviolet light dries your hair, use SPF hair products or wear hats.
7. Minimize the use of styling products such as varnish, foam, wax, etc., so as not to get the effect of a straw instead of hair. Moreover, such products dry the hair.
8. Choose cosmetics for white or transparent hair. Colored products can cause the hair to take on an unwanted tint.
