Self-Hair Care & Beauty Bathing at Home

If you make good use of your bath time, you can have much healthier hair and a slimmer body than you do now. From hair massages using aroma oils to beauty baths using salt or sake, a thorough guide to ways to restore damaged hair and rough skin to softness and elasticity.

Hair that is worn out from frequent dyeing, perming, and repeated use of the hair dryer every day. How can you restore it to healthy and shiny hair? A to Z of essential hair care methods to create shiny hair.
50 to 80 hairs fall out a day
Hair is made up of keratin, a type of protein, and is covered with cuticles to form a protective film. An adult has 100,000 to 120,000 hairs, and 50 to 80 hairs fall out a day. Therefore, unless you suddenly lose a handful, you don’t need to worry about hair loss.
Healthy hair has a moderate amount of shine at the roots and is free of dandruff. Hair is also lively and bouncy, and the ends are soft and free of split ends.
Frizzy hair, lack of moisture is the problem
Hair that is frizzy and lacks elasticity is because it is dry. This type of hair does not settle down and floats, making it look lifeless. The most important care points are to supply moisture and replenish protein to restore elasticity. Use shampoo or conditioner for dry or damaged hair, and treat once or twice a week.
Decisive causes of bad hair
● Frequent perming and dyeing, shampooing and drying, cause moisture loss from the hair and scalp, which makes them dry. In particular, when dyeing, bleaching and dyeing at the same time or perming at the same time can severely damage the hair.
● Hair exposed to strong UV rays loses moisture and shine, and loses elasticity.
● In the case of women, hair suddenly becomes bad or falls out more than usual during pregnancy, childbirth, or menopause. This is a phenomenon that occurs when the amount of hormones in the body changes, and can be considered a red flag for hair health.
● If your nutritional status is poor, your hair condition will naturally deteriorate. In particular, if you continue to have extreme diets or picky eating habits for a long time, your hair will age without you knowing it.

Basic care methods for healthy hair
● Brushing 30 to 40 times a day is basic! Brushing is the most basic hair care method for healthy hair. It helps blood circulation in the scalp, strengthens hair roots, and neatly organizes the cuticle layer of the hair epidermis to give shine to the hair. When brushing, start from the tangled part of the hair tip, then brush down from the middle to the ends. Then, brush down from the scalp to the ends again. The number of brushing times is about 30 to 40 times a day based on healthy hair.
●There is a trick to treatment. When applying treatment, shampoo thoroughly and massage the entire hair from the scalp to the ends so that it is evenly absorbed. Then, use a steam towel soaked in warm water and squeezed tightly, and rinse after 15 to 20 minutes. This method uses the principle of protein coagulating at high temperatures. The heat of the steam towel solidifies the hair protein and forms a nutrient film, which improves the hair texture. Therefore, it is much more effective when done in a public bathhouse with a high temperature.
●Excessive care is absolutely prohibited! Shampooing too frequently removes moisture and oil from the scalp, leaving it dry. For normal hair, it is recommended to wash it once every 1-2 days, and for dry hair, 2-3 times a week. Hair condition should also be considered when choosing treatments. If you treat your hair too frequently, nutrients will be excessively replenished, leaving your hair sticky and over-nourished. For hair damaged by perms or dyeing, 2-3 times a week is appropriate, and for normal hair, once a week is appropriate.
●UV protection is essential for healthy hair! Hair, just like skin, is damaged when exposed to UV rays. Just as you apply sunscreen to your skin when going out, apply a styling agent with UV protection to your hair to protect your hair. When you are outdoors for a long time, it is also a good idea to wear a wide-brimmed hat to completely block UV rays.

Hair damaged by frequent dyeing

Scary hair loss that loses a handful every day

Comb your hair with your fingers often.
Massage your scalp to stimulate blood circulation and promote hair growth. However, if your hair has weak roots and is thin and easily tangled, excessive massaging can actually cause hair loss, so it is better to comb your hair with your fingers instead of massaging.
