I achieved results after a few years thanks to my patience and burning desire to grow beautiful curls. If the readers website If they want to repeat this path, it will be much easier for them: especially for them, I have made a selection of useful tips.

19. Any combing is a trauma to the hair

Each time during this process is happening violation of the integrity of the cuticle or outer layer of the hair shaft. Using a low-quality comb leads to even deeper hair damage.
⠀
We remember that long hair needs to be combed carefully, starting from the ends and gradually moving to the roots. For thick curls, it is better to take a plastic brush with sparse teeth (metal ones can provoke the formation of knots). I try to minimize this process and comb only when necessary. I often put my hair up in a hairstyle so that it doesn’t get tangled.

18. Shampoo should not be rubbed directly on the head.

You need to do it well first foam shampoo in your hands, and only then apply it to wet strands. Rubbing shampoo directly onto your hair can damage it. When you wash your hair, the scales on the surface of the hair rise slightly. Friction will cause them to move further away from the shaft, which will increase the risk of hair breakage and tangling.

Therefore, it would be more correct to first foam the shampoo in your hand and only then apply it to a damp scalp.

17. Aloe is a powerful antioxidant and growth stimulator

Constant friction against the pillow can damage hair, especially if it is brittle, thin and dry. Collected hair is less prone to breakage. The braid must be loosely braided and secured with a soft elastic band. You don’t have to use fixation at all if your hair is long (as in my photo).
⠀
An alternative to braiding is to use a pillowcase made of satin fabric, on which the hair will glide without damage. Naturally, the satin should be made from natural silk thread: on fabric with the addition of synthetic fibers, the hair will be highly electrified.

12. The secret to using sulfate-free shampoos correctly

These shampoos are based on natural ingredients and are good fit for frequent use, but they cleanse the scalp worse. They will not be able to completely remove all silicone components or other cosmetics from the hair. Since sulfate-free shampoos do not lather well, you need to apply them in several approaches depending on the thickness of your hair.
⠀
When using such shampoos, be sure to use a peeling (scrub) for the scalp. Because with the accumulation of sebum and various impurities, itching, dandruff and other hair problems can occur. Another option is to alternate sulfate-free products with regular shampoos.

11. You can dry your hair with a hairdryer without much loss.

Change your shampoo if after washing your hair you feel itching, and also notice flaking of the scalp, lack of root volume and rapid contamination of the hair. Moreover, this may apply to both a new product and one that you have been using for a long time.

You may need to change your shampoo due to hormonal fluctuations. Pregnancy, childbirth, sudden weight loss, inflammatory diseases of internal organs - all this can change the acid-base balance of the scalp and affect the condition of the hair.

6. It is not advisable to use styling products frequently

Hairspray, gel, mousse and hair foam are wrong safe, as stated by manufacturers who claim that their products do not stick hair together, allow it to breathe, and even enrich it with various vitamins.

It is especially dangerous when these products come into contact with the scalp. If you used a large amount of any product to style and fix your hair, be sure to wash your hair at night. In any case, try not to abuse them. Better nourish and strengthen your hair so it doesn't require active styling products.

5. In some cases, we may feel pain at the roots of the hair.

Here are the main ones causes this phenomenon:

constantly wearing the same hairstyle, when the hair gets used to a certain position, and you suddenly change it;
the habit of pulling the hair on the top of the head into a bun, which impairs blood circulation;
dry scalp can provoke pain at the roots (you need to use special shampoos and masks for nutrition);
an inappropriate comb that electrifies the hair; ⠀
stress and problems with blood circulation (you can try a head massage);
refusal to wear a hat during the cold season: due to hypothermia, blood flow to the bulbs is disrupted and unpleasant sensations occur at the roots.

If the very next day after washing your hair, your hair becomes greasy, shiny and sticky, then you have oily hair. It happens that hair becomes greasy just a few hours after it is washed. Dust, dirt and other particles stick to such hair very easily, and often greasy dandruff appears. All this makes the hair unattractive and unruly, the styling immediately falls under the weight of greasy icicles, and you just can’t achieve at least a normal look for your head.

Why does hair get oily?

In general, sebum production is an absolutely normal physiological process. Another thing is how active this production is. Oily hair at the roots not only looks unsightly, but can also cause hair loss. This is because sebum clogs the pores of the scalp, preventing skin cells from breathing. As a result, microcirculation becomes difficult and the nutrition of the hair follicles deteriorates. As a result, they weaken, hair becomes thinner and falls out.

Interesting fact: The maximum lifespan of a hair is only 5 years. Therefore, losing up to 100 hairs per day is not considered critical.

Strictly speaking, “oily hair” is a misnomer. Only the scalp can be oily, and the roots become dirty from it. There can be many reasons for active sebum production. Let's name the most common ones:

Hormonal imbalance
Poor nutrition
Improper hair care

The solution to this problem depends on the degree of its severity. If your hair becomes unkempt already in the middle of the day, you cannot do without consulting a specialist.

Wash your hair correctly

The most important thing in caring for oily hair is to learn how to wash your hair correctly. There is a common belief that the more often you wash your hair, the faster it gets used to it and begins to get greasy, so oily hair should not be washed frequently. But it is not so. Trichologists convince: oily hair (just like any other) needs to be washed as it gets dirty. However, you should adhere to some rules:

Water for oily hair should certainly be warm, perhaps even slightly cool. Hot water stimulates the sebaceous glands, and with oily hair this is already a problem.
Rinsing your hair with cold water will have a good effect - it tightens the pores and prevents the release of oil.
If you use shampoo labeled “for the whole family” or “for all hair types,” or even don’t think at all about what you wash your hair with, this needs to be corrected. There should be shampoo for oily hair on your shelf.
If you try to fix your oily hair problem by washing it frequently, you're actually making the problem worse. The fact is that the skin simply needs sebum in a reasonable amount. It nourishes and protects, forming a thin film. If you wash it off with constant washing, then this will be a sign for the glands to work more actively. Try washing your hair a little less often. Yes, at first it will be very inconvenient and unsightly, but after a couple of weeks you will see that you can wash your hair less often.
If your hair gets oily very quickly, you can try not applying shampoo to the roots of your hair until your hair starts to get oily at least a little less often. But you should never rub shampoo into your scalp.

Cosmetics for oily hair

First of all, this is shampoo. The shampoo must certainly be special - for oily hair, especially if the hair has already stuck together into oily strands. It contains special substances that reduce sebum production. We recommend using:

Shampoo for oily hair Mon Platin Professional Classic- shampoo for oily scalp and hair, stabilizing the acid-base balance. Helps cleanse the scalp and hair of excess oily secretions. Contains very gentle ingredients to cleanse the skin and do not cause dry hair. After using shampoo, hair takes on a healthy appearance; shampoo eliminates the feeling of oiliness and makes hair soft; contains filters that protect against the harmful effects of the environment and the sun. It is used quite often depending on the degree of oiliness of the hair.

Balancing shampoo for oily hair with black caviar extract Mon Platin Professional. Oily hair and oily skin are a consequence of unbalanced function of the sebaceous glands. The shampoo effectively removes excess oil from the hair and scalp. Enriched with black caviar extract and antioxidants (pomegranate and tea tree extracts) to help maintain shine and tone of hair color. The pH level corresponds to the natural acidity of the scalp, which ensures a balance of metabolic processes in the scalp, giving hair softness and a feeling of freshness - within 48 hours after use.

But if you wash your hair every day, then it is better to use a mild shampoo for daily use - it does not harm the hair and scalp. Ideal for this case: Unique salt-free hair shampoo Mon Platin Professional. Designed for hair that has undergone chemical treatment (straightening, keratin treatment, coloring, bleaching, etc.)
Compound: made on the basis of silk proteins and enriched with black caviar, as well as plant antioxidant extracts of pomegranate and green tea, which help preserve hair texture and also protect against weather conditions that negatively affect hair.
Action: protects hair, does not contain salts and does not counteract chemical procedures, normalizes PH, gives hair shine, elasticity, softness and vitality. Recommendations for use: apply a small amount of shampoo to damp hair, spread with massaging movements over the entire surface of the head and wash with it. If necessary, repeat the procedure again.

You can’t change shampoos often: today for oily hair, and tomorrow for normal hair. This is unnecessary stress for your hair. To be more confident in the effectiveness of the products, it is better to buy them in professional stores. But in any case, you need to choose exactly the one that suits you. Using samples is a good idea.

Shampoos with extracts of nettle, horsetail, coltsfoot, calamus, sage, seaweed, with proteins, vitamins, and zinc are well suited for oily hair. Regarding styling products - all kinds of mousses, gels, sprays, foams and other things - it is better to refuse them. All these products contribute to rapid hair contamination.

Scratch as little as possible

During combing, the scalp is massaged, including the sebaceous glands, and this stimulates their work and increases the production of secretion. Therefore, it is advisable not to comb oily hair at all. But since this is unlikely for women, try to comb them as little as possible. Choose combs with large, wide teeth.

Perfect hairstyle

Those with oily hair know how difficult it is to achieve a human-like look on your head. Oily shine is especially noticeable on long hair. Styling long hair is much more troublesome, and such hair doesn’t look very good, to put it mildly. Therefore, the best solution for oily hair would be a short haircut - long, oily locks are very difficult to care for. In addition, short hair dries quickly, and this will allow you to avoid using a hair dryer, which is only a plus for any hair. You can get a perm. The procedure itself will slightly “dry out” the fatty glands. And the curls will add volume to the hairstyle, and will also rise a little from the base of the head and will absorb less fat. Hair dye can dry out your scalp. You don't have to change the color of your hair - you can choose a dye to match. But first, consult with a specialist - hair coloring may not be a suitable solution for everyone. And you should not choose shades in the blond range - they are not suitable for oily hair, it is better to do highlights.

Adjust your diet

Since all external manifestations always have a connection with internal organs and processes, pay attention to your nutrition. Oily hair does not like fatty, sweet, smoked, coffee, alcohol, canned food, pickles, spices and seasonings - try to exclude or at least limit their consumption. But oatmeal and lactic acid products, on the contrary, will be useful. Eat more fruits and vegetables (especially beets and cabbage). Food should be freshly prepared, rich in proteins and minerals. Nutrition must certainly be balanced, since one of the reasons for increased greasiness in hair is precisely a deficiency of vitamins and microelements. Take care of sufficient intake of iron, sulfur, vitamins A, B1, B2 and C - they contribute to the beauty and health of hair.

Don't be idle! The main thing is not to start the problem. Many people think that they are doomed with oily hair, and that no matter what you do, there is nothing you can do to help. But that's not true. You can help if you follow all the recommendations described. Constantly clogged sebaceous glands and a dirty head are an excellent breeding ground for pathogenic bacteria. And this can lead to much more serious consequences, including baldness. So don’t be lazy, take care of your hair correctly, and it will thank you for it with a healthier and more beautiful appearance. And if you can’t cope on your own, then seek advice from a specialist - a trichologist. And your hair will shine with a different - healthy shine!

If your hair is hopelessly tangled, try using a deep conditioner or moisturizing oil before you tackle the problem with a haircut. Leave this product on your hair for an hour or even overnight, and tangled strands will be much easier to untangle. It may still be difficult to comb your hair, but at least it will be less painful and more effective than without conditioner or oil.

Steps

Part 1

Hair products

Choose a hair product. It's worth trying a regular conditioner first if you haven't already. However, if your hair is too tangled, you will have to look for other methods. The deep conditioner perfectly replenishes the lack of moisture in the hair and makes combing easier, while the detangling conditioner makes the hair especially smooth. Instead of these products, you can use coconut, olive or argan oil, especially if you have small curls. If you don't like the feeling of oil on your hair, you can try a detangling spray.

Some people use mayonnaise for this purpose, but it often causes an unpleasant odor and is much less effective on its own than other means.

Lightly dampen your hair. Wet your hair with water from a spray bottle or place your head under a shower or low-flow faucet for a second. Most hair products need to be applied to damp hair, but you should not get your hair too wet as this will make it brittle.

Rub the product into your hair. Pour your chosen product into your palm. If your hair is below your shoulders, use up to two handfuls. Apply the product along the entire length of your hair, including the ends. Rub it into each strand separately, and not over the entire surface of the head at once, otherwise the hair will become even more tangled.

Wait until the product is absorbed into the hair. Regular conditioner will moisturize your hair in a few minutes. For maximum effect, coconut oil or other oil should be left on the hair for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours. If you are using a deep conditioner, follow the instructions on the packaging as the working time varies from product to product, but they are usually left on the hair for at least an hour, and in particularly difficult cases, even overnight.
- To keep your hair neat and out of your eyes, put on a shower cap or plastic bag and tie it with an elastic band. If desired, you can wear a tight-fitting hat over the polyethylene to speed up the process.
Use your fingers to untangle the simplest knots in your hair. After keeping the product on your hair for as long as necessary, try to carefully sort out the tangled strands. Knots or tangles can sometimes be separated into smaller tangled strands by working from the roots of the hair.
- Don't expect to completely detangle your hair at this stage. If they don't budge, try doing this with another tangled strand.
Part 2
Combing
1. Use a wide-tooth comb. To deal with severely tangled hair, you need a comb with large, sparse teeth. Fine-toothed brushes and combs will get stuck in your hair, leaving you either pulling your hair out or giving up and unable to comb it out.
  - However, the teeth on the comb should not be too sparse, otherwise small knots will slip between them.
2. Comb starting from the ends. Always start combing tangled hair from the ends. Step back a few centimeters from the ends of the tangled hair and run the comb downwards. Repeat the procedure until you have freed this part of the hair from all tangles, then move the comb a little higher. Continue until you have combed the entire length of your hair. If you have long or thick hair tangled, this may take an hour or even longer.
  
  Elevate your hair to reduce pain. If you have a sensitive scalp, hold a section of hair in your hands while combing. Take a strand about the thickness of a marker or glue stick between your fingers and bend it so as not to pull the hair from the scalp with the comb. Comb this section of hair, and when you have untangled all the knots on it, move higher.
  
  Apply more conditioner or oil if necessary. Add a little conditioner or oil to those stubborn tangles and rub it in with your finger. The product will act as a lubricant: the hair will become more slippery and easier to unravel.
  
  Use scissors to thin out stubborn tangles. If a strand of hair refuses to untangle despite your best efforts, you may need to thin it out. Take the scissors in one hand and open them, while holding the hair tightly with the other. Run the bottom blade of the scissors along the bottom of the tangled strand, then gently pull the hair to remove the loose strands.
  - If for some reason you haven't brushed your hair in weeks or even months, cutting off the tangles is probably the best solution, as you could spend hours trying to untangle them to no avail.
3. Finish the procedure using a fine-tooth comb or brush. Use a wide-tooth comb until you have untangled all the tangles and tangles. Then take a fine-tooth comb or brush and untangle any small knots if there are any left.
  
  Rinse your hair. Once you have detangled your hair, rinse off the product you applied to it. If you have small, tight curls that you can separate into strands after detangling, pin each strand and rinse them one at a time.
Part 3
Prevention
- Oils and oil-based products help moisturize your hair strands and make them easier to detangle. If, on the contrary, you want to use a product against excess oily hair, then first detangle your hair, and only then use such a product.
- A good way to untangle tangled hair is to find a central tangle and gradually untangle smaller strands from it until it becomes smaller and smaller. However, this option requires patience and will take a long time.
- You should not leave your hair for weeks or months without combing or other care (for example, braided), as this contributes to tangling.
- Use hair oil every two weeks to prevent tangles.

Greetings, dear readers.
Many girls suffer from the problem of hair bunching into separate strands. Is this normal and what should we do about it? We’ll figure it out right now.

If your hair gets tangled in the wind or after removing outer clothing– this is absolutely normal.

Thin Slavic hair has the property of “clinging” to each other, forming these same strands.
What to do in this case?
Brush your hair more often. All. This is a structure and cannot be changed, so all that remains is to accept it and love it.
I, for one, love the way it looks.

Advice: Give preference to care products with the lightest textures. Dense and very thick butter-like masks in this case can aggravate the situation, so it is better to use products with light yoghurt-like (thindy) consistency. According to my observations, such products are always more conducive to hair friability than thick products.

Another type of hair tangling is damage.

This may be a consequence of a change in the structure of the hair due to lightening, chemicals, or a regular section.

In this case, with a lack of care, the cuticle scales are not smoothed enough and cling to each other, causing the ends to tangle into strands.
The first option differs from the second precisely by this criterion. If your ends are where the strands are going astray, the problem is in the section. In this case, it can be removed by cutting with flagella or intensively masking it with the help of silicone products, which temporarily glue the split hair in two.

As an example, my photo after bleaching my hair. Here my care stopped working and until I picked up a new one, due to lack of conditioning and lack of smoothness, the acquired porosity simply caused my hair to tangle in strands throughout its entire length.

We looked at 2 options when the hair clumps into strands “on its own,” so to speak.

But also one significant reason that can contribute to this hair behavior is over-drinking.

What is hair repereting?

Re-perish hair– this is “overnutrition” with care. This is difficult to explain in words, because many people are still surprised by this word, so I will try to explain as clearly as possible what it is.
We have all encountered overdrinking at least once in everyday life. When you gobble up something so delicious, like a cake, that you can’t stop. You eat it dry and then feel thirsty and urgently want to wash it down. This is overload when there is not enough lightness. The same thing happens with hair.

Why does overshoot occur?

From oversaturation of care. Many people say that oils over-hydrate the hair, but I have never encountered this. No, of course, there were a couple of times when I didn’t wash off the oil well enough, it stayed on my hair and then it looked something like this.

But subsequent washing with regular shampoo solved this problem.
For all the time I have been using oils 2 times a week on an ongoing basis, I have never experienced any real overdrinking.

Therefore, I associate the phenomenon of overdrinking specifically with the effect of silicones in cosmetic products. Silicones build up and over time begin to overload the hair, thereby causing the same overheating. Also, overfeeding depends on the structure of the hair, because thin hair with little care needs will be many times more prone to overfeeding than damaged, porous hair that is “greedy” for care.

How can you tell if your hair is over-nourished?

Hair loses its friability and lightness. If your hair used to flow, but suddenly stopped doing so.
They begin to bunch up into separate strands, if they haven’t done so before. They form so-called “icicles” instead of tips.
They become dull.

If your hair has suddenly lost its shine and become matte, has begun to form icicles and looks dirty after washing, having lost its former freshness and friability, it’s overdone.
Also, if you observe one of the signs listed above, this is also overdose.

What to do about it?

You need to use shampoo to deep clean your hair.

Deep cleaning shampoo from Belita– my absolute favorite. It is very inexpensive and at the same time extremely effective. It perfectly cleanses the hair, washing away everything unnecessary from it - silicones, traces of styling products, making it crumbly and soft. It is very important to me that it does not dry out my hair. This is very important for damaged hair.

It is best to wash your hair with it and then apply the strongest mask on it, or use an ampoule treatment.

This will “renew” your hair’s ability to take care, erasing all signs of over-conditioning and returning it to its former freshness and lightness.

Is over-drinking harmful?

Yes. The main damage is caused by the layering of silicones, which leads to hair fragility.
Dull hair, losing its usual elastic properties, becomes vulnerable to damage and extremely prone to breakage.

How to prevent overdrinking?

If you use silicone products in your care, and also if your hair is very thin and easily catches too much, even if there are no silicones in your care, you need to use deep cleansing shampoo on a regular basis.
The frequency of use is selected individually and is 1-3 uses per month.

If your hair gets into strands not from over-feeding, but from the structure, I can advise you one life hack that I use myself - this is to curl your hair.
I have already written about a safe way to get beautiful curls.

But an even less time-consuming way is to twist your hair into braids. Thus, thin hair immediately gains volume with friability and stops tangling into strands. This hairstyle is my must have.

Also in this case, give preference to nutritional products with lighter textures and containing a couple of oils, rather than their extensive presence in the composition. Focus on hydration, but do not forget that hair also needs nutrition (and in case of damage, restoration).
