How to wash your hair correctly?
Much depends on washing and daily care. To thicken your hair and restore its natural strength, you do not need to use any expensive professional cosmetics.
One of the main problems that provokes the weakening of the strands and the loss of their vitality, elasticity and shine is the use of the wrong shampoos, balms, masks and conditioners that are not suitable for a certain type of hair and scalp.
The best choice would be shampoo, which contains a minimum amount of various chemical additives, because they can cause serious harm to the health of the hair. First of all, this applies to various colored dyes, fragrances and mother-of-pearl. The listed components do not have any effect on the quality of hair washing, since this is only an advertising stunt for manufacturers who are trying to draw more attention to their products. It is necessary to stop the choice on transparent shampoos that have a natural and not too bright shade, without additional perfume fragrances.
You should only use the shampoo that suits your particular hair type. No shampoo can make thin hair thick and voluminous, but it can add shine and brightness to the color.
It is not necessary to wash your hair every day, the only exception is the oily type. If various styling products are constantly used, they must be washed off. Do not use too often various balms and masks intended for hair care. It is important to apply masks with balms to the main length of the hair, but you should try not to touch the roots, of course, if the product used is not designed for scalp care.
All modern shampoos leave a thinnest film on the surface of the hair, which consists of chemical compounds and after each wash tends to thicken. It is best to choose two shampoos that have similar qualities and use them alternately.
Hair restoration
In order to give extra volume to weakened and thinned hair, it is necessary to carry out a full course of their restoration. First of all, special professional masks and other means, wraps, as well as folk methods are necessarily used.
Modern cosmetic masks have a fairly high degree of impact, while an experienced master will help you choose the right one. All masks designed for long-term exposure must be applied to the entire length of the hair, carefully smearing each strand. Then the curls are covered with a layer of plastic wrap and left for about half an hour, after which they are washed with plenty of warm water.
Hair professionals can use techniques such as glazing and lamination to help make hair thicker and healthier.
Traditional methods for thickening hair

For red hair, it is best to brew calendula. To prepare such a rinse aid, it is recommended to pour 1 liter of boiling water over the herb and boil it for 20 minutes over low heat. Then the broth is necessarily filtered and left for a while until it cools down, then it can be used to rinse the strands after each wash.

Using modern hair volume products
Today, manufacturers widely advertise a variety of products intended for hair care after washing. But due to the large number of different drugs, sometimes it can be difficult to make the right choice. You can buy a very cheap or expensive product, or several at once and use them every day.
Short hair does not need additional care products, which makes it thicker and thicker. To do this, it is enough to monitor the cleanliness of the curls and, during styling with a hairdryer, slightly lift the strands at the roots, giving the hairstyle additional volume. When exposed to heat, it is imperative to use thermal protective agents - mousses, foams and sprays to protect hair from the negative effects of hot air.
Medium-length hair is more capricious, and in this case, you need to more carefully choose the means for caring for them. The fact is that the ends of the hair become thinner and drier. Also, hair often suffers from hot styles, including dyeing, chemical straightening and perms. To maintain healthy hair of medium length and give it extra volume, you need to:
- choose the right shampoo for daily care;
- after each shampooing, it is imperative to rinse the hair using acidified and cool water, due to which all scales are smoothed and strands become perfectly smooth, while preventing the problem of split ends;
- to care for weakened hair ends, it is necessary to regularly use special serums, drip and liquid fluids that seal the hair;
- You can use almost any hair styling product, but it is imperative to rinse them off before bed.
It is worth remembering that if part of the styling product remains on the hair, it will severely dry out the surface of the strands. As a result, the hair loses its bright shine and becomes dull, rough, and begins to break down a lot. Long hair needs more care. It is important when choosing one or another cosmetic product to preserve the density of the strands, always take into account the following nuances:
- At the ends, the hair is always drier, while at the roots it can be oily, dry and normal.
- If the hair at the roots is oily, before washing the hair, it is necessary to apply a small amount of special protective oils to the ends and comb the hair well. Choose a shampoo for dry ends and oily hair roots.
- To care for dry and normal hair at the roots, you need to select a shampoo taking into account the condition of the scalp.
- It is only necessary to apply shampoo to the skin area, while the ends cannot be soaped too much, it will be quite enough to get a small amount of the product during rinsing.
- After washing the head, the balm should be applied only to the ends and try not to touch the roots, since as a result of such actions the pores of the skin are clogged, and it becomes impossible to fully and properly breathe the hair follicles. At the same time, the strands become heavier, and the natural splendor of the hair is removed.
- On dry hair ends, it is imperative to apply special serums and drip fluids.
- When exposed to dry air and in the case of prolonged exposure to the sun, the hair dries out. To avoid the problem of increased strand breakage, it is recommended to use a variety of moisturizing sprays designed for repeated and daily use.
- Do not use hot styling for long hair too often. However, in case of an urgent need for such a procedure, a special thermal protective agent is necessarily preliminarily applied to the curls - for example, mousses, serums, sprays, etc.
To restore hair to its natural density and volume, it is necessary not only to regularly use a variety of cosmetics, but also not to forget about the benefits of daily and proper care. Instead of modern sprays and lotions, it is best to opt for folk recipes and use only natural ingredients for their preparation.
