The beautiful appearance of curls is directly related to their health. The conditions of the metropolis adversely affect the hormonal background, on which the condition of the hair depends. Exhaust gases, dry indoor air, temperature changes - this is not a complete list of factors harmful to the body. At the same time, women subject their hair to the following rather aggressive procedures:
If you resort to all of the above too often, the curls will quickly fade and become more brittle and dry. Hair loss, in addition to the inconvenience, also signals health problems in general. This may be due to the instability of the hormonal background or the lack of some chemical element in the body.
For the beauty of hair, first of all, it is necessary to review the diet. The body must be saturated with vital vitamins and not suffer from dehydration. It is important to supplement such measures with well-chosen cosmetic products. At the same time, it will not be possible to get by with only one universal remedy, on the label of which a complete recovery is promised in a short time. Damaged curls need competent and comprehensive care.
First, it is important to assess the condition of the hair. It's worth starting with the definition of the main type.

It is determined very simply. Normal hair needs to be washed every 3-4 days to keep it looking clean. In the case of the mixed type, the situation is the same, with the only difference being that after 3 days the ends continue to remain dry, and the scalp and, accordingly, the roots become oily. If the curls are of the fatty type, then they need to be cleaned almost every day. And dry hair, on the contrary, it is better not to wash it more often than once every 5-7 days, otherwise it will become even more overdried. At the same time, it is better to choose nourishing shampoos and balms, because hair care in this case should be very delicate.
