Why is it important to carefully care for your hair in the autumn, general recommendations on proper nutrition to maintain the health of curls, features of restoring the color and structure of strands, head massage technique. It is also recommended to abandon sulfate shampoos for the recovery period. Choose a sulfate-free product based on natural ingredients. You can additionally vitaminize any shampoo. Its use will begin to bring more benefits to the hair if vitamins A, B, C are added to it. The vitamin "portion" for the detergent should be disposable, and it should be prepared immediately before use.
Pour the shampoo into a container and add a few drops of each vitamin to it. Lather and hold the product on your hair for five minutes. Even after the first procedure, you will see the result: the curls will become shiny, voluminous, and the process of loss will decrease. And to overcome the problem of brittle hair, use vitamin E separately. To make the hair silky and light in the process of combing, you can add an aspirin tablet to the shampoo. In addition, you can wash your hair according to the grandmother's recipe using egg yolk. It cleanses, nourishes and moisturizes hair well. If used regularly, curls will always be shiny, well-groomed and strong. For the procedure, you need to take one or two eggs, it all depends on the length of your hair. Separate the yolks, beat them in a bowl.
The tool can be used in two ways:
- The mass is simply applied to wet hair. Next, you can do a light head massage and rinse the curls. No shampoo is applied.
- Cover the dry hair with a product, cover the head with a hat. Remember, the yolks should not dry out on the hair. It is recommended to wash off the mass after thirty minutes. Also, don't use shampoo.
Thus, you get a two-in-one result: the egg yolk rinses your hair well and nourishes it at the same time. You can use kefir as a detergent. For the care of curls in the fall, this product is the best choice. Kefir will wash and nourish both oily and dry hair well. The indisputable advantages of the tool are its budget price and ease of use. Half a glass is enough to rinse your hair. It is worth remembering: kefir should be warm and preferably fat-free. Apply it to moist strands. Next, you need to gently massage your head, and after 10 minutes, rinse. The result is soft, shiny, hydrated hair and dandruff-free hair.
Whatever you wash your hair, it is recommended to rinse it in acidified water after the procedure (juice of half a lemon per liter of purified water).
They work great on curls after washing, when their keratin scales are as open as possible, rinsing with a variety of herbal infusions. For women with dark hair, nettle is suitable: with its help, the strands will become softer, the process of loss will stop. To prepare a rinse, you need to pour five tablespoons of dry grass with a liter of boiling water and boil the product for 15 minutes, cool, strain and rinse your hair after washing.
Nettle is not suitable for blondes, as it can give curls a greenish tint. It is recommended for fair-haired girls to use decoctions of chamomile or lemon balm. The rinse aid is prepared and used in the same way as the previous one.

Tips for keeping your hair healthy in the fall
To consolidate the effect of the above procedures, it is recommended to listen to certain advice from cosmetologists:
- Remember to wear a hat in cold temperatures. Many women do not want to wear hats so as not to ruin their hair. But remember: in this case, you are putting your hair at great risk by prioritizing imaginary aesthetics. The follicles are supercooled. This can provoke active prolapse. The structure of the hair is also disturbed, and they become lifeless and dull. You should not buy hats made of synthetic materials, as they are poorly breathable and can create a greenhouse effect.
- In autumn, it is recommended to wash your hair at least an hour before going out. After drying with a hairdryer, the scalp and curls should cool, and not be exposed to a sharp temperature drop. And of course it is forbidden to go out with wet or damp hair!
- When drying with a hair dryer, do not use it at full power. Use a gentle mode so as not to dry out your curls. And don't forget about thermal protectors.
- Better not buy products that are known from commercials as "two-in-one". Such cosmetics are an option for travel, not hair care, especially in the fall. It is best to purchase all products separately. Complex care will provide your hair with nourishment and gentle care.
