Our ancestors also said:"A braid is a girl's beauty." And this is certainly true. Hair has always been one of the main female virtues - that very "highlight." Of course, times have changed. But well-groomed hair is still the dream of almost every woman. True, our contemporaries have it much more difficult. After all, now a braid is only one of many possible hairstyle options. And any woman wants to look stylish and unique. How to style your hair correctly? How to emphasize its natural beauty? Of course, the easiest option is to go to a salon. Professional masters can work miracles. Sometimes, after the work of such a wizard, you look at yourself in the mirror and sincerely wonder: "Who is this luxurious beauty? Is it really me?" But, unfortunately, most women, for one reason or another, cannot visit a hairdresser every day. That's when the question arises: "How to style your hair at home?" And is it possible? In fact, of course it is. It's just that everything, and especially such a responsible task! - must be approached thoroughly. Let's begin?
Mine and comb my hair
Before you style your hair, you need toprepare. How? It's very simple! First, you need to wash them. The debate about how often you can wash your hair continues to this day. And everyone sticks to their own opinion. Therefore, perhaps you shouldn't rely on someone else's recommendations - what if, in the end, this person turns out to be wrong? It's better to listen to yourself. Or more precisely - to your hair. They will tell you everything themselves. Wash your hair when your hair starts to look stale - and you will definitely not be mistaken! How to do it right? In order for your hair to be clean and easy to style, you need to wash it twice. First, wet your head and apply shampoo. Rinse it off immediately. Then, the next time you apply it, try not only to wash your hair, but also massage your head. The water temperature should be comfortable. If you have to wash your hair often, it is recommended to use special products marked "for frequent use". After washing, do not keep a towel on your head for a long time - this can lead to dandruff. In no case should you dry your hair with a hair dryer, as this dries it out and makes it more brittle. It is better to let your hair dry naturally. Combing wet hair is also undesirable. If possible, do not use regular tap water to wash your hair. Rain or melted water is the ideal option. Of course, this option is most likely not suitable for residents of megacities. An apartment building is not a very suitable place to put out tubs to collect water. And the snow in the city, as a rule, is not very clean. But there are other ways. For example, you can settle or boil the water. Or you can just add a little baking soda to it. Is your hair clean? Now you need to comb it. What is the best way to do this? Of course, the best option is a brush with natural bristles. You can also use plastic combs, but it is better to avoid metal ones. In any case, the teeth should not be sharp, otherwise you can damage the scalp. In general, combing your hair is very useful. It is not for nothing that great-grandmothers advised brushing your hair in all directions 100 times, morning and evening. Such a massage improves blood circulation, which allows the skin to be saturated with oxygen faster. In addition, the hair follicles are strengthened and they begin to grow faster. Did you manage? Then you can proceed directly to creating a hairstyle. However, before you style your hair, it would be a good idea to check whether you have everything ready for this exciting process.
