Just a little more, and the hats can be put off until next fall. Therefore, now is the time to come to grips with your hair. Even the most beautiful hair loses its appearance after winter. Due to temperature changes, dry indoor air and the constant wearing of hats, hair becomes dull, brittle and lifeless. To revive tired strands, you need an integrated approach: eat right, drink plenty of fluids, take vitamins and be sure to make hair masks.
Looking at ourselves in the mirror after winter, we often struggle with the urge to cut lifeless strands. After all, the hair during this period leaves much to be desired. Faded, weak, thin and shapeless, they do not fit even the simplest hairstyle. In this case, no one canceled a visit to the hairdresser - indeed, after winter, trichologists recommend cutting off the split ends. In addition, by "removing" all unnecessary things, it will be easier for you to deal with rebuilding the bulk of the hair. However, in addition to haircuts, hair in the spring needs additional attention and care.
Hair care rules after winter
There are some basic rules that will help you clean up your head and give your hair a livelier and more well-groomed look. By the way, these rules can be taken into account and used for scalp care on an ongoing basis.
Wash your hair with warm water

Even if you are used to "steam" in the bathroom, hot water is absolutely not suitable for hair. Firstly, it activates the sebaceous glands of the scalp, making your hair greasy faster. Secondly, hot water opens the hair "scales". As a result, the hair loses its smoothness, begins to "fluff" and stops shining.
Don't neglect balms and conditioners

Some consider them a waste of money. In fact, the role of the balm after washing is precisely to "smooth the scales" of the hair, to make them softer and more manageable. The balm must be used correctly: after shampooing, do not wipe your hair, but just pat it lightly with a towel, and then apply the balm. Do not rinse it off immediately: for the best effect, it is important to withstand the time recommended by the manufacturer. By the way, instead of balm, you can take raw egg yolk: it successfully performs the same functions.
Rinse hair with herbal decoctions
Change the air conditioner several times a week. herbal decoctions. They strengthen the hair follicle well and prevent hair loss. Most often, nettle, chamomile and oak bark are used for hair. Pour 3-4 tablespoons of herb with a liter of boiling water and wrap it up well. If you wash your hair in the morning, you can do it in the evening. But in general, two hours are enough for the broth to be ready.

Rinse your hair thoroughly with shampoo in the morning. After such a compress, the hair becomes denser and shinier.
Take vitamin complexes
This rule is very important in spring and autumn. Best of all, hair "responds" to vitamins of groups A, E, C and B, which are in almost all pharmacy vitamins. However, you should not rely on vitamins alone, because hair responds well to any changes in nutrition. Add seafood and fatty sea fish, nuts, cottage cheese, honey and citrus to the diet. Pay special attention to liquids: the rule of "1.5 liters of water per day" should become immutable for you. So you not only revive your hair, but also improve the condition of the skin of the face and body.
