- Throughout the day, you need to drink at least 1.5 liters of plain water.
- It is recommended to avoid using combs made of plastic and plastic, as these materials have the ability to increase electrification. The ideal option would be to purchase a comb made of natural wood (for example, cedar, oak or birch) or ebonite.
- In rooms with dry air, it is recommended to use special air humidifiers.
- You need to choose only those hats that are made from completely natural fabrics; synthetic materials are strictly prohibited.
- In autumn and spring, it is useful to drink a course of multivitamins, because they will help not only to return the spent energy, but also have a positive effect on the condition of the hair.
