Teenagers love to experiment when it comes to cosmetics. However, when it comes to hair care it is important to stick to certain rules and rely on proven products
Beautiful, abundant and shiny hair is a sign of health and the result of proper hair care. Simply shampooing your hair is not enough. What counts is how you shampoo and what products you use. If we learn to take good care of our hair when we are teenagers, we will not have any problems with it as adult women. It is certainly helpful to keep your hair in good condition with cosmetics, which need to be skillfully chosen according to your needs.
Young girls attach special importance to taking care of their skin. To a large extent, this is due to the fact that teenage skin is prone to irritations, allergies, acne and the like. As much as you care about the condition of your skin, you should also care about the condition of your hair.
Teenagers love to subject their hair to various mechanical treatments, which unfortunately weaken it. This includes daily straightening treatments. A straightening iron has to be heated to a very high temperature in order to work properly, and such heat can dry out the hair and cause excessive hair loss and split ends
Before you straighten your hair, you should use products that will prepare your hair and protect it from heat. However, the most important thing is to take care of your hair right from the washing stage.
Let’s start by outlining how you should care for your hair on a daily basis. It’s not about washing your hair every day because, paradoxically, that can weaken it even more. It is advisable to wash your hair optimally every 2-3 days or when you feel the need to do so, i.e. when your scalp itches or your hair gets greasy.
There is a wide variety of shampoos available in drugstores. For young girls, we recommend those with the most natural composition and without artificial substances, chemical compounds such as parabens, which may weaken and overload the hair
Remember that shampoo should be chosen according to the individual needs of our scalp. When shampooing your hair and scalp, do not distribute the product throughout the hair strands or scratch the scalp. Wash your hair gently with a light massage. After the first wash rinse the shampoo off and apply another layer, this time washing more thoroughly.
After washing your hair twice it is time to apply a conditioner. Natural products, such as vegan products, are also recommended for young girls and are great for nourishing weakened hair, giving it shine and making it easier to comb. Most dermatologists and beauticians recommend using conditioners, which must be rinsed out with water five minutes after application. Leave-in conditioners weigh down the hair and make it greasy faster.
Young girls may also like to use hair treatments to nourish their hair. Many ready-made products are available at pharmacies and drugstores. The best choices are those with a herbal composition. Rubs work well to stimulate the growth of hair follicles, which may be somewhat weakened during adolescence.
