3 ways to add shine to porous hair

If your hair is porous, you are probably aware of how difficult it can be to maintain its glossy, healthy appearance. Because porous hair absorbs moisture and products quickly, it can often look lifeless and dull. But fear not—there are a few efficient methods to restore that brilliant shine.

We’ll look at three easy yet effective ways to make your porous hair shine brighter in this post. These styling hacks and nourishing treatments will make your hair look vibrant and glossy. Bid farewell to lifeless hair and welcome to a more radiant, healthier mane!

Method	Description
Hair Oils	Apply nourishing oils like argan or coconut oil to damp hair. They help seal in moisture and add a natural shine.
Leave-in Conditioners	Use a leave-in conditioner or shine serum after washing your hair. These products smooth the hair cuticle, making it look glossy.
Heat Styling	Gently use a flat iron or curling iron with a heat protectant spray. The heat can help enhance your hair"s natural shine.

Why porous hair does not shine

Poll

Which of the two images do you think has the prettier hair?

To the left or right? Which image would you prefer to linger on?

The same person’s hair, taken in the same spot, on the same day and year, in both photos. One brand of cosmetics was used for hair care.

In my opinion, the picture on the right is better.

Shiny hair draws my attention more than any other kind, regardless of length or color.

Hair structure

The state of the cuticle, the topmost layer of hair, determines the porosity or shine of the hair.

It is a transparent keratin scale with multiple layers. In a healthy natural state of hair, the scales are tightly arranged one atop the other to create a smooth, even surface on the hair shaft. The better it reflects light, the smoother it is. This is perceived as hair shine. This was one of the body’s health indicators in the prehistoric understanding. There is a better chance of carrying on the family line with someone like that.

You can find less shiny, silky hair if you stray from the perfect standard. Their cuticle’s scales do not fit together snugly. elevated or accessible. We are discussing various porosity levels. It is unique:

It can be inherited or acquired throughout life for a variety of reasons. At the moment, I rate my porosity as high.

Looking at my hair, it appears to me that for the strands to shine on their own, in my case, certain conditions need to be extremely successful and maintained all the time. It is real, yes. But I have to admit, I still find it really challenging.

It is possible to arrange things so that the scales go back to normal and the canvas shines artificially. with the help of suitable makeup and careful upkeep.

I take a practical approach to things. I know exactly what kind of hair I have. If I so choose, I can make them even and smooth, as though they weren’t porous. If I put a lot of effort into this. This is well received among those who are interested in hair care. Hair that is silky and smooth is highly admired. For my part, I experience internal dissonance when I have this kind of hair. I think there’s never enough hair when it’s purposefully smoothed out. Not enough of my attractiveness. Though praises seem to indicate otherwise. Perhaps incomplete density is to blame.

Protective function of the cuticle

There are other issues with the porous structure besides this or that perception. The protective role of the cuticle is carried out. The inner layers of the hair shaft are shielded from moisture loss by tightly closed scales. and deflect atmospheric moisture as well. This is how the hair keeps its quality at its best.

There is an imbalance if the scales are open or slightly open. The protective layer of the hair is lost in the inner layers. Fabric deterioration happens quickly. As a result of atmospheric fluctuations and mechanical damage, the ends thin out and fracture. This is indicated by indicators like:

1. Hardness
2. Tangledness
3. Dullness
4. Crunch
5. White dots
6. Split
7. Breaks
8. Electrification
9. The effect of enchanted length: "My hair does not grow anymore a certain level".

The length and thickness of my porous hair greatly depend on my ability to keep it healthy. Because of the structure’s uniqueness, regular and thorough maintenance is required. I was only able to reach the shoulder blades at one point in this manner. My hair grew long only because I worked hard on the scalp and canvas. Losing them to hair loss was extremely painful. It is unfortunate to have to cut every 10 to 15 centimeters.

I’m growing my hair back in its full length now that it’s normal. I am finding it challenging in this regard. It’s not growing hair as quickly as I would like. I’m putting effort into it. The procedure takes a while. needs a great deal of patience and self control. Simultaneously, I focus on the portion of the length that has already grown. I’ve had both achievements and setbacks in this regard. I keep the strands in good shape by analyzing the experience I’ve gained.

Coloring

Permanent

An artificial pigment is used in place of the natural pigment to change the color. There is some destruction of the natural pigment found in the cortex. They are replaced by dye molecules. Additionally, the dye must "break through" the cuticle, the layer of defense, in order to enter the cortex. Consequently, the latter suffers irreversible harm. The cuticle sustains repeated damage from every new coloring or tone.

It’s not necessary to color your hair permanently. There are others at the moment. I was only familiar with the first.

I was not the only one who mistakenly believed that shine and color were synonymous. Taking the advice of relatives who don’t work in hairdressing seemed reasonable to me, so I decided to dye my hair. I recalled from my teenage experience that hair changes instantly after coloring. becomes glossy and dense. Density was essential back then. After all, hair that was neglected looked like fluff.

I gave myself a dye. After all, isn’t it simple to combine the dye and oxidizer and apply the mixture to the head for half an hour? Reading about bleaching to color my hair gives me chills because that’s how I used to treat my scalp and hair. All I’ll say is that I used water alone to remove the dye. not using shampoo. Not only did I not use a stabilizer, but I did not even shampoo my hair with regular shampoo.

I’ve dyed my hair numerous times in similar ways. I frequently dyed my hair because I was never happy with the color of my natural hair. I believed my hair to be brown. That’s how I perceived myself. Naturally, I also dyed it brown (it seemed so lovely on the dye box), but each time I ended up with black. My hair was shiny, yes. However, the shine eventually went away entirely. And the color went flat and dull. Simultaneously, the strands became brittle, untied, and arranged like bristles.

Later, I tried having a hairdresser/colorist dye my hair in a beauty salon. My hair didn’t turn brown after the expert procedure, so either I couldn’t explain it or the masters didn’t understand me. Yes, in black and red. Brown, not at all. I’ve been fighting to get the color I wanted for so long that it seems like the shine is already fading.

Porous hair gets a temporary shine from permanent coloring. Accompanying this is an irreversible change in structure and a change in color.

This is not the result I was hoping for. I enjoy regularity. If it shines, it does so constantly. Furthermore, I found the canvas’s state to be peculiar during the regular coloring sessions, both at home and at the salon. It’s interesting to note that I still thought my hair looked beautiful. I was therefore taken aback by the reflection in the mirror and pictures, where the hair is somewhat visible. It was unbelievable to me that my hair was this colorless, rumpled washcloth. I declined to accept them.

My experience with mass-market synthetic dyes and professionals did not yield the desired shine. degraded the condition of the hair in its entirety.

Herbal

The precise method by which henna and other herbs alter hair color is up for debate.

Henna becomes injured when it becomes clogged beneath the cuticle scales.

Lawsone molecules squeeze through the cuticle scales and move slowly to the cortex. React within the hair shaft with natural keratin.

I’ve been using Ayurvedic herbs for seven years, but I’m not really sure what their exact chemical effects are on hair. Sincerely, I don’t give a damn. My hair looked prettier, and the effect lasted longer. I didn’t require anything more.

I think there’s some validity to both theories. The first one clarifies why, after ceasing henna, the hair becomes loose once more. The second one explains why, over time, the henna darkens, the tone deepens, and the hair shafts become stronger.

I’m over being let down by industrial dyes. I set them aside. The equally unsettling phase has started where my color, henna, is becoming fashionable lightening, my color again, henna. Ultimately, this uncertainty caused me to further deteriorate the shoulder-length canvas.

It was anything but shiny here. I got my hair in the worst possible condition. They went from being nearly colorless to being incredibly empty. They were bleached to remove both synthetic and natural pigment. It was already impossible not to believe in them, the way they were loose and stiff all the way along. My thoughts of how to make the strange mass of hair look normal overshadowed my desire for shine and brightness. In my care, the first professor shows up. The second terrible incident happens: my hair is captured on camera.

I anticipated seeing, if not something beautiful in the picture, then at least something passable because the hair had been professionally colored by the most reputable colorist in the city. What I witnessed appalled me. I’ve never seen my hair so bad before. Undefined hue, speckled, striped, with ends protruding in various directions "like a fence." I was so shocked that I was unable to cry.

I also learned about the world of at-home professional cosmetic hair care at the same time. On the Internet, significant information started to surface. I didn’t shave my head bald because of the enthusiasm that overcame me; instead, I focused on learning and trying out new things. Nothing that changed color touched my head for a while. I then became aware that my hair’s color was light red at the roots. It was enjoyable to me. I wanted the whole length of it to turn red. Going back to synthetics was not an option. Henna was my choice.

Henna and I had a warm and intimate relationship. We had varied experiences together. The initial triumph of the desired color, a detour into an impasse, the first wise choices, and currently, a total rejection of herbal powders.

In my instance, the final (permanent) shine from the henna is comparable to what I achieved with paint.

With paint	With henna
Hair shine	2 weeks	4 months
Dream color	Unattainable	Real
Changing the hair structure	For the worse	For the better

Long-lasting shine is imparted to porous hair by herbal coloring. The color of the hair also changes and gets better at the same time.

Herbs that don’t overtly change the color of hair can also add shine to porous hair. It was on my daughters’ hair that I noticed. The natural cleaning process gives the hair more than just shine. The color of your hair gets brighter.

Powders I enjoy using

Producers I have faith in

• Khadi Natural
• Kajal
• Nupur
• Soap nuts

A recipe for a herbal shine mask

• amla 1 tbsp. l
• shikakai 1 tbsp. l.
• fenugreek 2 tsp. l.
• water by eye

Combine all of the powders. Pour in some water. Using an immersion blender or whisk, blend. Let the water be absorbed by the mixture. If more water is needed, add it.

Apply the mixture all the way around your head, including the partings. To keep it from drying out, wrap it up. It can be insulated. After 15 to 40 minutes, rinse off with water without using any shampoo. The kind of scalp determines how long it takes. Apply the customary caution for the length. Dry in a practical manner.

Shikakai and amla gather sebum and cleanse the head and hair similarly to shampoo. Fenugreek is said to have the ability to fortify hair follicles. In my experience, the answer is definitely yes when it comes to preventing seasonal hair loss. In dire circumstances, no. But it gives hair a silky, smooth texture! And adds grandeur as well.

The high vitamin C content of amla produces an acidic environment. In these circumstances, the hair gets the desired sheen and the cuticle scales are compressed, laying down silently.

My hair looks really bright after washing and shining from a mask like this. Fenugreek also adds splendor and silk.

Herbal and synthetic dyes each have their supporters. It turned out that I was closer to the second one. It’s interesting to note that I moved to professional care cosmetics after my unsuccessful attempt at painting and successful attempt at henna. Who knows, maybe the henna experience would not have worked out if this meeting had not taken place?

I stopped using Ayurvedic herbs because of recently changed circumstances, not because I didn’t get a long-lasting shine from them. Right now, I’m drawn to the natural color and structure of my skin.

Cosmetics

Synthetic

This is a common term for products whose primary function is to create shine at the hair cuticle level and whose active ingredients are synthesized.

Examples of synthetic ingredients found in cosmetics for hair

• sodium laureth sulfate
• amodimethicone
• glycerin

The outermost layer of hair, which is made up of scales that are next to one another like tiles. The hair shines brighter the denser the scales are layered on top of one another.

These cosmetics frequently surround each hair in a transparent film. This produces the appearance of a surface that is smooth, even, and light-reflective. Shine has thus been accomplished. Simple and uncomplicated. However, there’s an underwater stone here that I once struck extremely hard.

Characteristic of film formats

From use to use, film formathers have a tendency to accumulate on the hair. The first few times you wash your head in this way, the result is a very polished, submissive, and smooth canvas. However, if you fail to consider the point at which an artificial film begins to build and fail to modify your hair care regimen, eventually your hair ends will become as unnatural as possible—tough, rough, and clinging to one another, as well as glowing white dots and exhausted luster.

What actions are possible?

1. Cut the tips
2. Clean the canvas
3. make care in such a way as to prevent this phenomenon.

I have encountered a lot of film formers over the years. I found that this phenomenon was more pronounced the stronger the hair damage. The more the layer of makeup fills in the gaps in the hair. I had a lot of hair cuts in the beginning. I took care to cut only two to four centimeters. I accelerated my hair growth crazily.

My frequency of haircuts decreased when henna took over the damaged sections of my hair. I could never again think of my hair as beautiful after that fateful back-of-the-hair photo. I’m still in disbelief, too. Notably, I started to love my hair more as a result of my obsession with hair care and my frequent photography. But it had lost that easy confidence in its beauty. For this reason, I fed it the heaviest products on film even with henna. I believed that beauty could only come from well-groomed hair.

Actually, the cosmetic coating outweighed the actual hair. I was given an Angel Professional deep cleaning shampoo. It removed accumulated silicones, polymers, and hydrolyzed keratin from the hair all at once. My hair has come back to being soft and vibrant. They shrank considerably, but they also got a remarkable sheen and friability. And then everything began anew.

Learning to know Vieso was the pivotal moment. Because of the length’s excellent health, consistent henna application, and use of organic makeup, I was able to completely avoid SHGO. I won’t claim that there is never a buildup of Vieso components in hair that is porous. It does, of course. however, not in the same manner as with synthetic materials. In this instance, the hair looks natural rather than artificial.

The second danger is losing one’s sense of reality.

The artificial beauty that silicones, polymers, and other film-forming agents apply to the hair itself becomes more relaxed. My hair glistened after I sprayed the spray, and I exclaimed, "Oh, what a shine! What type of hair is that?" It’s simple to overdo things.

After a few months of not getting enough nutrition and hydration and taking care of my hair like I did in the movie, I see a decrease in soft ends. They are able to lie effectively without tangles. Glow! However, the cut itself is a little uneven. The state of the strands will deteriorate if you carry on in the same manner and neglect to maintain the cortex’s health. Additionally, purchasing a different spray—from a different brand, more costly, or more well-known—won’t help.

What actions are possible?

1. cleanse hair from old film
2. provide the strands with sufficient nutrition and hydration

There are a few extra points for damaged or colored hair. relates to "restoration."

Hair color products

There are other cosmetic methods for giving hair shine besides the film principle. I didn’t want to use colored hair products because I used henna. However, occasionally they seemed petty while under my supervision. What caught me off guard is that colored hair products make the hair strands look as shiny as they did after using synthetic dye! It also doesn’t matter what kind of product it is. This can be a spray, cream, serum, mask, shampoo, or conditioner. Everyone’s hair will shine from newly dyed hair. I colored my hair for a long time because of this. For colored hair, you could simply use a conditioner from the series. or apply it with a spray.

This is one of the keys, in my opinion, to preserving the effects of the coloring process. Specialized makeup gives the hair a false sheen and makes the coloring appear more permanent. In the end, I found that the source of shine was just applying paint over the shine to alter its color for a very long time.

Professional brands designed for use in a hair salon are said to have technicians who believe that products meant for colored hair have a unique quality: a higher pH. The cuticle scales are compressed and firmly pressed against one another in an acidic environment. This is how the canvas shines like the cover of a glossy fashion magazine and the hairs are made to have an even, smooth surface.

Well, it appears that this is it! the culmination of many years of investigation and dangerous testing. Let us, however, give the technologists their due. These products, in their opinion, should only be used in the first two weeks following the coloring procedure. The next step is to incorporate restoration products into your care. Why? There’s a belief that hair does not do well in an environment that is consistently acidic. Frequent acidification of the cuticle causes damage and stiffness. This is visible to the eye as brittle ends. uneven cut if it wasn’t profiled at first.

What actions are possible?

• follow the advice of technologists – do not overuse cosmetics for colored hair.

I typically only have one product in my care that is labeled as colored. Not every time, either.

Not every situation is so cut-and-dry. Every product has characteristics that are specific to its manufacturer. Premium segment products also have the shine "as if painted" quality. Series can vary.

For instance, Alfaparf Milano’s Semi Di Lino line features multiple series:

• for normal (undamaged)
• for colored
• for damaged
• for curly
• therapeutic for the scalp

Nutritive is the only series for preserving artificial pigment. I’ve used peeling, volumizing, and restorative products before. Their compositions seem to indicate that each one has a color protection factor. In other words, colored hair can be styled with them. I have no idea what is currently happening with their pH. However, natural hair looks as though it was just dyed after using Volumizing Shampoo.

Examples of high-end brands of hair cosmetics

• Nook Magic Arganoil
• Ollin Megapolis
• Barex Contempora

Cosmetics labeled as "synthetic" add shine to porous hair without altering its color. gives the temporary impression of a smooth structure. It is safe to use and does not damage the strands.

I enjoy obtaining shine in this manner. I don’t see anything wrong with this. While it is a tool, it is not the cornerstone of care.

Organic

The term used to describe cosmetics that contain natural ingredients and have an impact on both the cortex and cuticle of hair.

Examples of natural ingredients found in cosmetics for hair

• cocos nucifera oil
• pelargonium graveolens oil
• opuntia coccinellifera fruit extract

A rope-like layer of twisted keratin fibers beneath the hair cuticle. The cortex determines the strength of the hair.

Organic cosmetics manufacturers attribute to their products the ability of their active ingredients to deeply penetrate the hair shaft. My observations show that using such products to care for hair has a long-lasting positive effect. Additionally, the effects of organic care are retained in the hair for one to two months, even if I switch out all the products.

Examples of natural cosmetics for hair

• Angel Professional Provence
• Vieso
• Kaaral Professional Purify
• Kaaral Professional Maraes 2022
• Innersense
• Cocochoco

Among the pitfalls of using organics, I can name the possible incompatibility of formulas with other brands. For example, Vieso can be easily combined in one wash with Kaaral Purify or Angel Provence, but it creates a wild mess on the canvas if you mix it with Kaaral Maraes Renew or selectively Angel Professional.

If your circumstances permit you to take care of your hair under one brand’s umbrella, that’s great. There is no care conflict. If this isn’t feasible, you should search for solutions for the best possible pairing of products from various directions.

An illustration, within the confines of a single brand, of balanced care for porous hair during the heating season:

1. Vieso shampoo with rose
2. Vieso mask with argan using the basin method
3. Vieso conditioner with honey using the basin method
4. Vieso oil with argan

An illustration of well-rounded summertime care for porous hair under a single brand:

1. Kaaral Purify Reale shampoo
2. Kaaral Maraes Renew mask
3. Kaaral Purify Reale conditioner
4. Kaaral Purify Leave-in spray

An illustration of well-balanced, multi-brand summertime hair care for porous hair:

1. Cocochoco Intensive shampoo
2. Angel Provence mask with immortelle
3. Kaaral Purify Reale conditioner
4. Vieso oil with argan

There are two methods to get shine.

1. support of natural hair resources (care at the cortex level)
2. cosmetically (care at the cuticle level)

There are also series for colored hair in organic lines. I just need one "for colored" product to add more expressive shine to my hair if the strands are in good condition. For example, I’m a big fan of the Angel Provence mask with orange blossom extract.

Alternatively, I can design a care routine where the main ingredients are a mask with an organic effect and leave-in products with a cosmetic effect. For instance, any professional manufacturer’s Dancoly Argan Oil mask + spray is suitable for colored hair. As an instance, Dikson.

The hair in the first and second examples has the glossy appearance of recently dyed permanent hair color.

The natural shine of hair is enhanced and given a cosmetic touch by using organic cosmetics. doesn’t alter the canvas’s color. keeps the structure in a sound condition.

What appeals to me about utilizing organics are the long-lasting and comprehensive effects. With strong shampoo, it still comes off after three or four washes. The cut can be changed once a year, and the hair maintains its good condition for a long time.

Styling

Hot

Hot curling tongs or a straightener can be attached, and you can use a hair dryer, a hair dryer with a round brush, or a hair dryer brush, depending on the state of the hair, how it is cared for, and the desired look.

I attempted everything once. The most appropriate brush was the one from the hair dryer. For me, the idea was to use bristles to mechanically smooth the cuticle scales by layering them on top of each other. For a year, I used a hair dryer brush to apply hot styling to my porous, damaged hair. I was able to restore the damaged structure to its original appearance by doing this. and increased their caliber.

Brushing the canvas produces a sheenier canvas mechanically, much like the acidic environment of conditioners presses cuticle scales chemically to enhance strand shine.

The drawbacks of this shine-producing technique are comparable to those of the film care concept. We must not overlook the basic requirements that hair has for nourishment and hydration. It won’t be enough to simply condition a porous structure.

It is helpful to keep in mind thermal protective products when working with heat-generating devices. They have a lot of options. Anyone can discover their interests. Personally, I suggest looking into goods made by reputable producers. Kaaral Style Perfetto is, in my opinion, one of the most universal. Using it in care regimens based on both organic and synthetic cosmetics is simple.

Among thermal devices, reputable European manufacturers enjoy great popularity:

• Babyliss
• Rowenta
• Gama
• and American Dyson

• Olivia Garden
• Tangle Teezer

It is preferable to use professional stylers and accessories for hot styling, such as shampoos, if you want an impeccable finish and to preserve the quality of your curls.

Without affecting the color, hot styling gives porous hair a shine that lasts until the next hair wash. It maintains the length in good condition when used properly. By itself, it cannot repair the hair shaft.

Since I cut off all the damaged length and now have healthy hair, I don’t use heat styling.

Cold

The idea is to mechanically smooth the scales, just like with hot. The distinction is that hot weather has no effect on the hair; instead, it requires more time to take shape.

In this instance, heat protection and a styler are not required. Special makeup is not necessary. There are some subtleties, though.

In certain situations, the shape created by cold styling will adhere and maintain its shape. A lovely hairstyle might not work at all or fall out in 30 minutes if they are not followed.

Enough moisture should be present in and around the hair. For instance, freshly laundered hair that is nearly dry. or dirty hair (that was washed the day before), and the atmosphere is greenhouse-like. We gather hair in a bun, and eventually we are left with lovely curls. The amount of time depends on how humid the air is. Conversely, the faster, the lower.

Hair should be balanced, and maintenance should take the surroundings into consideration. I take extra care to moisturize if it’s dry. If it’s humid, I shield the strands from the moisture. In addition, I use a styling memory product.

Products with style memory examples include:

• Angel Professional Fantasy Party Heat Protective Cream
• Angel Provence Cream for Curly Hair with Rose
• Alfaparf SDL Nutritive Leave-in Conditioner

Without affecting the color, cold styling gives porous hair a shine that lasts until the next hair wash. has no detrimental effects on the condition of the hair.

As one might anticipate, without proper cosmetic care, neither hot nor cold styling can give hair a consistent shine. Act right away.

In case your hair appears lifeless and porous, there are easy methods to restore its original luster. To smooth and hydrate the hair cuticle, start with a nourishing hair mask. For additional protection and a glossy finish, use a leave-in conditioner or serum. After washing, seal the cuticles and improve shine by giving the area a final cool rinse. Restoring the luster of your hair can be greatly aided by following these simple steps.

Hair by nature

I admit that for me this method was the most unobvious for me for a very long time. Over time, with care, my idea of ​​the beauty of hair and leaving for them changed. At first for many years I considered my color and hair as a whole beautiful. I was very pleased with them. Then, for many years, on the contrary, the impression was fixed that I have an ugly color and a terrible structure. I tried to modify them. Hid under a different shade and "dressing" cosmetics. Walk with "naked" The hair seemed indecent. New combinations of circumstances led me to the next fateful decision – to grow my natural color.

The way you shine your hair will determine its character. He is shiny, waxy, or sparkling, for example, from salon cosmetics. Herbs can be shiny or metallic. Their ethnicity has an impact on the luster of their healthy, natural hair. I have Slavic hair. Their radiance appears to be their shine. It appears as though they are a source of light. There is very little radiance. fluttering. incredibly bright in the sunlight.

I’ve tried five times in the last fifteen years to lighten my skin tone. He grew up to his shoulders at most thus far. My observations indicate that a variety of factors are influenced by the brightness and natural color’s juiciness.

1. Health of the whole body
2. Environmental conditions
3. Cosmetic care.

Health of the whole body

After weighing these five attempts against one another, I decided that my favorite natural hair was in those situations when I was in balance and had my figure back. In my situation, diet has the biggest impact on the saturation and sheen of the natural shade. I’ll add one more thing: while eating healthily and suffering from an internal organ disease that hasn’t been diagnosed in years, I noticed a gorgeous color emerge from the roots with a gentle, flickering shine. I don’t want to celebrate too soon, but it looks like I’m healed.

Because of this, keeping up my diet and health is essential if I want to have the shine that comes from naturally porous hair structure.

Nutrition

The relationship between food and hair gloss

I’m ashamed to discuss my diet on this blog. It is common for users of hair care resources to discuss shampoos and methods for keeping artificial pigment vibrant. That it has the immediate ability to change curls, to put it simply. A long-term plan piques the interest of a rare reader. That mask smells amazing, and I want the results right away.

I did not associate my eating habits with having brilliant hair for a long time because I turned to staining for many years. The strands’ inherent potential was hidden by an artificial structural alteration.

A balanced diet differs favorably from shine or henna (if conditionally applied) in that it benefits the entire body and provides more than just shine for the hair. The grocery basket functions simultaneously in the areas of blood vessel health, internal organ function, muscle growth, and emotional state. Hair follicles are happy to share resources with a healthy body.

It’s been almost a year since I last dyed my hair. I don’t create masks with powdered herbs. Maintaining a nutritious diet caused me to see more than just an increase in the growing strands’ saturation of shade.

From the roots up, hair starts to grow silky, crumbly, and smooth!

This portion of the length is not treated with masks, conditioners, or leave-in conditioning products by me. This is the actual hair. And I think this is the best my natural hair has looked in the past fifteen years.

Perspective on food

Now that I know precisely how diet impacts my body, I view food as a source of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. I am no longer susceptible to temptation from any kind of food.

I used to have a crazy fear of sugar and other similar sweeteners. I didn’t consume any food while they were in the composition. That was the best skin condition I had ever had on my face and body! My tone was not so uniform and clean, and my face was not so smooth even when I was younger. I now calmly consume sugar-containing products, but I make an exception. It’s no longer a phobia or a food habit.

Despite the fact that I cook every day, I dislike it (perhaps for that reason). Furthermore, I do not turn food into a cult. I see it as a building material and a source of essential energy. And occasionally for amusement, if I wasn’t the one who prepared it. I can’t just say what I eat because of this. I don’t have any favored foods or tastes. Only BJU and the most basic preparation are available.

I don’t glorify or demonize any specific products. I admit to myself that sometimes I indulge in empty calories. I don’t search for the coveted superfood.

Proteins

I can obtain a lot of protein from anything in my diet.

• meat
• fish
• eggs
• seafood
• fermented milk products
• nuts
• a little bit from cereals and legumes

The need for protein powder increased with the relocation to an area with plentiful supplies.

The more varied and rich in amino acids a protein is, the easier it is for the intestines to absorb it. The hair roots will receive improved nourishment from the inside out.

As previously mentioned, the cortex, the most densely packed area of hair, is made up of the keratin protein. Protein is just necessary for the hair shaft to continue growing.

I don’t really think about fat. They amass on their own in conjunction with products that contain protein. Eggs, cheeses, meat, and both vegetable and animal oils. You naturally consume healthy fats when you eat a healthy diet.

Hormones produced by fats have an impact on the location of hair on the body as well as the quality of sebum secreted by the scalp.

Hair that has already emerged from under the scalp naturally lubricates itself with sebum. makes them resistant to friction against one another and shields them from external atmospheric influences and moisture loss from the interior. A healthy supply of sebum is essential for gorgeous hair.

Glucose

I watch how many carbohydrates I eat carefully. The proportion of simple to complex forms is significant to me. The first and second are energy sources that enable the body to function and carry out essential metabolic functions, including brain activity.

Yes, I do consume bread. It passes a rigorous selection process. Bran and whole grain only. ideally without sugar or yeast. I frequently consume dry or stale bread in order to keep my gut flora in good condition.

One woman known for her Rembrandt paintings boasted, "And I don’t eat bread at all! Of course, I eat pies and buns. baked goods in that location. But bread—no! I abstain from bread consumption."

I hold such people in no contempt. Personally, I had a great love for eating different baked goods. Cakes, pies, cookies, and buns. And just a simple freshly sliced loaf with honey or blackcurrant jam. five or so times a day. Everything was good until my waist vanished out of nowhere.

I’ll admit that it was difficult for me to break this eating pattern. I kept track of each cookie. In every way, I craved flour. I no longer have the same craving. However, I never give up bread.

Bread is a good source of fiber, minerals, and B vitamins for hair beauty. B vitamins are thought to aid in fortifying hair roots.

When I was experiencing severe hair loss after my second lactation, about ten years ago, I came across some dubious articles on the "Internet" that claimed that because brewer’s yeast contains B vitamins, it could strengthen hair roots. I took them conscientiously, three times a day, five pieces at a time. The loss persisted. In two weeks, the 20 cm length did not grow.

I now realize that it is ineffective to focus on a single vitamin in isolation from the rest of the diet and self-improvement.

I occasionally or in small amounts eat different cereals. Excellent, for instance, in stews and soups. I consume seasonal fruits, berries, and vegetables—aside from root vegetables—every day. This is the perfect season for plums, apricots, and nectarines. The cherries and strawberries are already fading. Cherries, raspberries, and other berries are also present. By August, apricot plums will be ripe. These are organic sources of bioavailable vitamins and minerals.

Minerals and vitamins

I don’t think of myself as a nutrition expert. I only know what is relevant to my body and its particular health issues. I once discovered that eating in accordance with the guidelines of healthy eating will also provide me with vitamins and minerals.

For instance, iron and vitamin A from beef liver. Zinc and vitamin C are found in chicken. Copper and vitamin D from cod. This is true of all healthful products.

To stabilize the situation, I’m taking biologically active supplements gradually. Here, I am not inventing anything. I abide by the advice given by an expert. It’s pleasant to have someone with experience consider and compute everything on your behalf. It was just a matter of taking tests. The majority of them were covered by a mandatory medical insurance policy and were admitted for free to a municipal clinic.

I mostly use dietary supplements from the following manufacturers because of trade restrictions:

I don’t purchase goods from recently established Russian producers who compensate consumers for online reviews.

Movement

I think that human beings are meant to live dynamic lives. The longer the body stays healthy and attractive, the more varied the movements. I think my posture makes this very evident.

I’m not in perfect health. Additionally, there are chronic illnesses that have no known cure. They’ve been a part of my life for so long that I’ve grown accustomed to them and consider them to be the standard. But I do my best to fix what I can actually fix.

The state I find myself in following cardio exercise is among the most remarkable outcomes. After just 20 minutes of a thorough yet easy exercise, the nose’s side pores close, the complexion looks more radiant, the body feels lighter and more energized, and the mood lifts.

Both amateur athletes and professional trainers agree that deep breathing happens during cardio training, which increases the amount of oxygen the body gets. Additionally, the scalp gets more of it. Hair grows more quickly and metabolism is more efficient. Your hair gets stronger, richer, and glossier when you eat healthily.

Environmental conditions

Right now, I have no control over the environment. It’s said that you must begin with yourself. Small steps taken by all contribute to a cleaner environment. I don’t know when environmental cleanliness will be achieved on Earth, but I need gorgeous hair right now.

My strands are quickly impacted by the quality of the soil, water, and air. not just the ones that have grown long and detached from the scalp. in addition to those that are still developing in the follicles. It so happened that there is a comparison point: a setting with both good and bad living conditions.

I observe that natural hair is preferable when it comes to soft water, pure air, and high-quality food items. They have a deeper color, are more crumbly and manageable, and have a more noticeable shine.

I’m thrilled about this and am motivated to appreciate my inherent beauty.

I’m not entirely used to the current situation, though. I’ve been using them to take care of my hair for a year. For me, one of the most significant factors is the stark contrasts between the seasons. My hair reacts in a fundamentally different way to each new season. As a result, makeup is very important to me. I can improve the condition and appearance of my porous hair with their assistance.

Cosmetic care

I’ve always had a unique perspective on hair care products. I have been more aware of hair cosmetics since I was a young child because of my mother’s remarks, "This is a good shampoo," which were made with a particular intonation. There was another sort of pleasure in looking out of store windows and onto shelves full of bottles that said "strong hair."

This did not imply that my mother or I were aware of this. All girls want is to look good. This product claims to enhance our beauty even further. Simply by making an effort to keep up our appearance, we utilize it and improve. When my mother finally tells me that she likes the shampoo I got her, I am overjoyed.

Shampoos and conditioners have always seemed to me like tools that can assist me in completing a task.

In the end, all that matters to me is the outcome. How my hair is going to look.

Maybe there’s a product that I’ve never bought or wanted to buy just because it’s highly sought-after, a blogger owns it, there’s a big discount on it, and so on.

I used great care in selecting the products I applied to my head, even though I had no knowledge of professional brands, hair cosmetics, masks, etc. Taking care of my hair as needed, according to its needs and condition, was important to me.

My error for a long time was that I wasn’t looking in the right place. Mass market and high porosity are not the ideal pairing. The appearance of Prof in my life was the turning point in everything.

Is the common term for industrial cosmetics made especially for use in beauty and hair salons. Its unique qualities include: rapid attainment of the desired outcome; safety for both the client’s and the master’s health; economical consumption; and higher cost as a result of the high proportion of costly active ingredients.

When my hair was at its worst, I purchased my first professional products. It was the best option available at the time. Occasionally, I would try to incorporate something from the mass market into my hair care routine. Every time, it was unsuccessful. This, I believe, was among the causes of my negative perception of my hair: "Observe individuals who use." They’re succeeding nicely. "Hair looks stunning." I received the exact opposite. This strengthened the perception of a "curse," a "dreadful structure," and an ongoing struggle.

Even though my opinions on the environment, hair care, and aesthetics are subject to change, I continue to use professional brands. I can incorporate elements of Ayurveda and natural care, but I avoid mass-market and dubious manufacturers.

For a very long time, I depended on the makeup’s composition when selecting cosmetics. And it was successful! Not with every brand, though. I’ve tried a lot of cosmetics over the last few years. However, they came from producers who strictly adhere to their word. My notion that "composition is the result" disintegrated as soon as I used a gifted product of questionable quality but with the same ingredients.

It occurred at the most inconvenient time, when I was adjusting to a new environment after leaving a familiar one and had not had time to change how I was taking care of my hair. Hair was wildly out of balance. New things were just completed. I learned what discouragement feels like.

On that day, I will no longer assign the compositions their prior meaning. First and foremost, the manufacturer is very important to me.

Every respectable brand has a distinct mission, philosophy, and method for taking care of hair. It’s interesting how the manufacturer and I can have different perspectives on the same product. Theoretically, it could possess those qualities, but I don’t sense them in my hair. But I achieve the desired outcome.

For instance, even though the label says "Nutrition," I sense "air conditioning." For me, the product does not instantly turn bad. I just find a spot for him and adjust it to fit my relevant care.

The products from those hairdresser-created brands are particularly effective, in my opinion. And not, for example, owners of factories that make shampoos to request "Brand from scratch."

My favorite manufacturers are numerous. Given the current state of the world, cost has emerged as a key determining factor. My hair care is now more flexible and effective as a result. I look for answers that get me to the outcome as quickly as possible.

Maybe this is a controversial statement to make, but when I look at a conditioner, I see my hair, not some fancy line, fragrance, or design. It’s like when I look at food and see BJU rather than a beautifully prepared dish.

A cute jar with a subtle scent is not enough to persuade me to include a product in my care. I need to know that it will make my hair manageable, silky, shiny, soft, and elastic. And this outcome will persist indefinitely. and won’t go away the following day or when I wash my hair with different makeup.

Maybe if my structure wasn’t so erratic, I would treat myself to makeup based on how I was feeling. or because the containers’ aesthetics in the bathroom are lovely. And even with high porosity, how my hair looks on me is what matters most to me. Bright bottles on the shelf are useless, in my opinion, if their contents don’t make voluminous hair manageable, shiny, and flowing. You won’t find many well-liked, low-cost products under my supervision because of this.

I became oblivious to odors after having my bleached hair miraculously transformed with the first composition’s Kaaral Hydra Purify mask and "restoration" lotions. Strange and even offensive smells don’t make me feel ashamed if they leave my hair feeling silky. I guess this has made me more of a hard person. These days, I don’t give a damn about the comfort of use or the smell problem either. I can easily make a herbal mask or apply oil to my head before bed. Why not, if it makes my hair look strong and gorgeous?

When I buy a new hair product, I take into account its current condition as well as the makeup I already have.

What role does this mask play in my hair care regimen? How will the cream and serum work together? Together, what will all of this do for my hair? What will it do at a specific season? brings to mind the way stylists put together a well-balanced and useful wardrobe.

Naturally, errors and exceptions occur. Because I’m a hair maniac, sometimes you need to try a new product from your favorite brand. I want to know how the product works with hair that is porous. I can keep up with the most recent advancements and possibilities in cosmetics in this way. Although it doesn’t always improve my hair care regimen overall, I gain experience from doing this. With the Kaaral Renew mask, this is what transpired. Although the product is good, I haven’t used it much. My regimen for hair care is complicated.

Speaking about the products I use to wash my hair is akin to discussing the foods I eat now to maintain my weight tomorrow. Or what workout am I doing this week to make my hip circumference grow by one centimeter in two? Every hair wash is an investment in my hair’s future. Anything will do as long as the products suit my hair’s needs in the circumstances at hand. I can use oils, herbs, or a professional mask to nourish my hair. In essence, the outcome will essentially be the same. simply accomplished in various ways.

As of the moment I’m writing this, my hair looks like this:

1. Angel Professional conditioner for all types on wet hair along the length before washing for 10-15 minutes under a bag and a hat.
2. Angel Provence shampoo with iris only on the scalp in one application.
3. Angel Professional conditioner for all types on wet hair along the length in the "apply and rinse" mode.
4. Dikson Argabeta spray on damp hair along the length.
5. Combing immediately after washing still damp hair with a Tangle Teezer comb.
6. Natural drying.

Outcome

1. Smooth hair
2. A single canvas without stripes
3. Friability
4. Sparkling shine

With conservation

Negative aspect

1. Stuck ends

• Dikson Argabeta Spray new to my care. I haven"t used products in this format as a spray for about 5 years. I don"t like that when applied, they spray everywhere except on the hair! Out of habit, I applied too much. Especially on the ends. This combination does not include a silicone finish. As a result, I overloaded the ends. This immediately created the impression of a thinned cut, in general, it reduced the splendor. The product is heavy and sticky. I try to use it carefully. But the shine with it is very strong. Still, a product for artificial blond.
• Angel Provence Shampoo has long been my favorite. Having tried from all the series – and there are 9 of them, if my memory serves me right – I noticed that it is from the series with iris that gives the hair the best shine. It is noteworthy that its washing base is different from the other shampoos in the line.
• Angel Professional Marine Depth Conditioner became a discovery of this summer. I am already opening the second 500 ml bottle. Porous hair with it is thickened, weighty, elastic and smooth. It perfectly disciplines my high porosity.

I now use this combination of products the most frequently. It provides ideal support for the basic maintenance of infrequent masks. I like that my hair always makes me happy with a small number of bottles. Nothing is better than products that function consistently.

I pay wholesale prices for Dancoly. Additionally, the Dikson serum was available on the market at a decent discount. Each item cost about a thousand rubles. It proved to be very successful.

This outcome is not guaranteed by the products used. You can use Kaaral Reale, Barex Joc, Cocochoco Intensive, etc. in place of the Angel conditioner. You can use Vieso oil, Alfaparf Nutritive conditioner, Lanza Healing Strength serum, and other products in place of the Dikson spray. The hair will appear the same visually. Unlike Argabeta serum, there is no opportunity to overuse the leave-in products of other options because they are not sprays. Nothing, therefore, poses a threat to the beauty.

For me, developing a makeup care regimen entails more than just doing a fast hair wash once in a while. I am able to achieve the desired result and maintain it from wash to wash when I do it consistently.

The season changes four times a year, that’s the only thing. The qualities of hair also change with the environment. A shift in care is required. while I adjust to these kinds of changes.

Naturally, giving up henna had an impact on the canvas’s quality. The length grew languid and striped. Conversely, though, it freed my hands. I had the chance to try oil-based care. I sincerely appreciate everyone who left a comment on one of my posts regarding the application of oils in hair care. I appreciate your thoughts and beauty tips very much. Right now, I’m attempting to go in this direction. I gain experience and gather impressions.

Now that summer has arrived, I am leaving in order to avoid the heat of my body, the moisture in the air, and damage to my hair. It turned out to be a very hot July in my city. Only when you get closer to the warm southern night can you dissolve your hair. The best course of action at this point is to gather the length into a tall bundle and dive into the cool pond.

Preservation of the achieved result

It appears that maintaining the beauty of the porous structure is a difficult task. daily work on the overall health of the organism is necessary. That’s not all, though. Porous strands are weak prior to chemical procedures and are subject to severe natural wear over time due to the natural feature where the cuticles are not closed by the scales themselves after contact with water during washing.

To keep the porous hair’s delicate, natural shine, I have to work on their protection every day.

As a result of my experience, I’ve come to understand that significant hair structure alteration, which is irreversible, eventually results in the loss of natural shine.

It’s difficult for me to say for sure that I’ll never use herbal dyes again. I have been using the third method to keep my growing hair shiny and healthy for the past year. concurrently applying a cosmetic layer to the previously henna-dyed length. And I intend to stick with this approach going forward. Permanent coloring is no longer an option.

Washing

I didn’t realize for a long time that a simple hair wash could ruin my hair.

Methods

When I was younger, I enjoyed using shampoo to lather my entire hair and collecting frothy locks on my crown. Take them apart and replace them. I now find such treatment to be downright insane. My hair didn’t object, though.

The process of washing has changed since then. Observing my hair with great care, I’ve established some guidelines. Similar to any kind of care, they vary based on the season. I therefore use the basin method to wash my hair in the winter and the "mask before shampoo" method in the summer.

Spritz some water on my hair and head. Using my hands to create a lather, I apply the shampoo to my head and the roots of my hair. Evenly distribute and promptly rinse. Keep the length from lathering. Do not wring out the excess water; instead, use my palms to squeeze it out so that it does not drip from the hair. On the length, apply a mask or conditioner. Apply generously and use damp palms to add more water. Alternatively, I could just dip the section covered by the mask into a tiny water container. for three to five minutes. Wash my head and body in water. Make use of leave-in care.

In this manner, the hair receives twice as much moisture, which is crucial for me in the winter months.

Wet the length of my hair with water. Use my palms to squeeze out any excess. Just the length should receive the mask or conditioner. After gathering the strands into a tall bunch, cover it with a hat and a bag. for ten to fifteen minutes. I then held the coated length in the air while I only wet my head. My scalp gets shampoo that has foamed up in my palms. I don’t make a lot of lather. I evenly distribute it and then quickly give my head and hair a thorough water rinse. I apply conditioners that rinse out and leave in.

This technique is necessary for my hair when the air is humid and the humidity is high. It aids in controlling porosity. The strands are therefore silky and easy to handle.

Of course, sometimes I just wash my hair like everyone else. Shampoo first, and then, without any further adjustments or turning points, apply a mask or conditioner. I’ve had to wash my hair in this manner in the spring for the past year. when, although not as much as during the winter, the heating is still running. The amount of moisturizing can be decreased.

Choosing a shampoo

My porous structure permits the use of both sulfate and sulfate-free shampoos in soft water conditions. The latter are necessary for a mature scalp.

I tended to use mass-market shampoos most of the time. My hair quickly started to go bad after I changed the water to bad. Along with the change in water came a harsh climate and careless eating habits. The lush, usually obedient hair turned hard, loose, and dull. However, I was not aware of all the causes. I kept eating everything and frequently switched out my shampoo. Replace one mass-market sulfate shampoo with another of the same kind. The labels only differed in the names.

I am really appreciative of my friend for introducing me to Angel Professional Provence’s products. I’ve been a regular user of this brand’s shampoos for the past eight years. I’ve tried something different during this time. New goods made an appearance and then vanished. But my shelf is always stocked with Provence shampoo.

It fulfills all of my needs in a shampoo:

1. Good hair wash
2. Delicate attitude to the length
3. Washes away oils
4. Allows the care "on the film" to accumulate
5. Does not frizz the hair on the crown and the entire length
6. Does not create tangles during washing
7. Works equally well in both bad and good water conditions
8. Does not require alternation with other shampoos

I had a similar issue with squeaking while washing my hair a year ago. This meant, as we in our hair-mad community say, "death to the hair" in bad water conditions. The hair quickly began to deteriorate as a result of this procedure. Even if nothing remarkable occurs after a few attempts, the ends become tough, prickly, and uncontrollable after a month. A haircut may be the only option in this situation. Lotions, masks, and styling cannot bring such ends back.

Soft water, on the other hand, prevents the hair from deteriorating even if you hear a squeak when washing. Initially, I was terrified. I believed that there would eventually be an end. However, a year later, I see that there are no issues with the length. The ends are still tender and soft. A yearly haircut is also recommended.

I mean, my scalp has changed, not so much the situation with shampoo and water. She developed the characteristics of an adult and has already started to produce sebum. As a result, the response to regular shampoo differs.

Thus far, nothing is creaking as it should.

Combing

The most frequent daily damage to hair is caused by mechanical friction during combing. When combing, the scales become damaged if the hair is initially weak or has been damaged by chemical processes. This is also noted if the hair is long and long. And the most delicate, capable of falling off entirely.

Since cold styling has been available, I have been able to firmly decline to comb my hair. This is beneficial to their state of health. When compared to other measurements, I was unaware that the length had gone over the 70-centimeter mark from the crown.

I still haven’t gotten used to doing cold styling in the summer after moving and altering my environment. This presents no issues during the heating season. In dry air, porous hair retains its shape well. However, having straight hair makes things easier for me in the heat and humidity. despite the fact that they have natural curl.

The looseness of my hair returned as I grew out of my color and stopped using henna. This is really uncomfortable. There are stripes along the length. Returning to herbs is the easiest course of action. I didn’t give up though. I began looking around and trying things out. One of the effective fixes was to comb my hair as soon as I had washed it, while it was still damp.

As a result, after drying, the porous strands regain their original shape. If I combed them straight and smooth before they dried, I could. That is, until the next wash. Either very few stripes are present, or none at all.

It’s common knowledge that combing wet hair can be damaging. A few months ago, I started using the wet combing method with the patients under my care. I haven’t made any conclusions just yet. Right now, I think my hair looks good. I’ll monitor its progress and then move on to winter and cold styling.

I try not to use combing very often. both right away after shampooing my hair and once or twice throughout the day. I only use the brush from Tangle Teezer. Its main purpose is to untangle knots. I hardly ever tie knots in my hair. Usually when it’s time to visit the hairdresser and they haven’t had a haircut in a while.

I can use a regular brush to comb my hair, but there’s something about the Tangle Teezer that makes me want to use it exclusively. Its broad bristle surface, which allows it to cover a lot of hair, and its curved shape, which follows the curve of the head, are features I like. Additionally, I enjoy the ends slightly curled inward. It seems lovely and natural to me. It also adds visual volume. The edges of the teaser are rounded. As I like, they are useful for creating a rounded cut.

Elastic bands

During the period of growing out severely damaged length, I went to the same hairdresser for frequent haircuts. She cut off exactly as much as I asked. I am very grateful to this day. We were talking about hair. Somehow we touched on the topic of hairstyles and what holds them in place.

One of the greatest hairstyles to preserve the length of the hair is a braid. However, the areas where the elastic band is fastened are vulnerable to hair rubbing against one another and breaking.

I have been mindful of my elastic bands ever since. Fabric ones were swapped out for Invisibobble "springs." The manufacturer promised that these elastic bands don’t leave creases down the length when you take them off because of their telephone wire-like shape. I was content with them for a very long time. I’m not sure if they had any effect on the hair’s sheen, but the length did seem to hold up well with them for a considerable amount of time. Subsequently, the company unveiled an array of silk elastic bands.

I assumed there was a well-known "spring" underneath the silk, but it was just an ordinary elastic band. However, genuine silk. Wearing this one with your hair up is nice. When you take them off, she slips over them with ease. Compared to the "telephone wire," I much preferred the silk version. These are the only ones I use. distinct producers.

You must light the cloth on fire. Man-made materials melt. Genuine material burns and becomes ash.

Prior to purchasing, I consider the product’s features. Producers of silk hair bands mention parameters like density. Momi are used to measure it. The fabric is denser the more momi there are.

It’s claimed that curls benefit from natural silk. gives them luster and smoothness.

I find it challenging to monitor such a parameter using an elastic band. I can affirm that they do not, in fact, lessen the luster of the hair.

During sleep

Silk pillowcase

Friction during sleep is another subtle "pest" of porous hair. Prior to developing a strong interest in hair care, I didn’t give much thought to how well they handled pillow contact. However, this has the same mechanical effect as wearing a hat or combing hair.

A silk pillowcase is the greatest thing that has ever happened to my hair at night! The difference is significant when sleeping on silk and cotton. My hair is nice and manageable after spending the night on a silk pillowcase. My baby hair peeks out from under the braid after a normal one. I can plainly see the outcome in this instance because the pillow area is substantially larger than the elastic band. It’s really amazing.

A silk pillowcase, or simply a silk fabric over a regular pillowcase, is a great helper to keep porous hair shiny and smooth.

In a braid, low / high bun or with loose

The hair not only brushes against the pillow, but also brushes against one another. I wear a braid to bed when I’m cold styling to create waves. My hair looks so shiny after it! When it is long enough, I like this look. My hair became waist-length after the last haircut. Mastering the bun was my decision.

My favorite afternoon hairstyle is the low beam. Nothing irritates you needlessly or touches your hair. It’s especially handy with the heat this year. You develop big, structured curls by evening. incredibly lovely, almost refined. As the sun sets, you can take a dressed-up stroll outside. Like you had just left a beauty salon instead of spending thirty minutes circling around the kitchen. A low bun makes for an extremely uncomfortable night’s sleep. Your head feels pressured on the back by it. However, I tried sleeping with my hair gathered high because I really wanted curls on my length of hair.

I was searching for options for using curlers to curl hair in general. discovered a clever plan. A high ponytail is created out of all the hair. split into three sections. Curlers are used to wind strands. Using my socks, I curled it. Using a large silk elastic band, I pulled the ponytail together.

Naturally, curls spread out in all directions. Generally speaking, it can turn out quite lovely with practice. bursting at the seams from the ground up. But after that, my scalp ached for a week. A week, ladies! It was the signal that she sends that alarmed me more than the pain itself. This indicates that an abnormality that shouldn’t normally occur is occurring in the scalp and follicles. A follicle in health will not produce hair like one in illness.

The pain in my scalp did not go away on its own. Eslabondexx calming scalp cream was unable to resolve the issue. I’ve been testing an Ayurvedic remedy since spring, and it worked for me right away. I intend to give it a thorough analysis. For now, I’m keeping it under wraps.

No style, in my opinion, is worth having your scalp ache for longer than half an hour afterward.

For a long time, I have neglected styling in which the hair must be pulled up high.

I made the decision to sleep with my hair down since I went straight in the summer. This is what I used to do a long time ago. In the morning, the hair was obediently flat. Tucking the entire length behind the pillow is the key. such that nothing is on the bed and the hair hangs off of it. There are no undesired creases, waves, or frizz after sleep. Additionally, the shine improves with fabric smoothness.

It’s been a while since I’ve done this. Now, every time I tuck my hair behind my pillow, I worry that I’ll discover it underneath or behind my back when I wake up. However, it’s precisely where I put it in the evening when I wake up. I must be gently tossing and turning in my sleep.

This lowers friction and keeps the sheen, obedience, and shape of the stored strands consistent.

Still, sometimes I just want to put the length into a braid at night. I do this when I don"t have to wash my hair the next morning. The fabric slightly takes the form of waves, but I go to wash my hair and give my hair the shape I want.

Conclusion

After contrasting three methods for getting shine on hair with a porous structure, I’ve come to the conclusion that they all produce the desired effect. each according to its own methods and in its own way. And every one has its own repercussions.

Coloring	Cosmetics	Natural hair
Which way	Change structures	Creating visibility	Maintaining the health of the body
Shine type	Artificial. Requires regular maintenance.	Artificial. Washes off with appropriate cosmetics.	Natural. Durability depends on how you handle your hair.
Consequences	Irreversible damage	Reversible damage	No damage

I became curious about other people’s perspectives on the topic of hair shine while working on this post. In one of the well-known messengers, I carried out an anonymous survey.

Which technique, in your opinion, gives hair the most shine?

Among the choices for voting, I wrote:

1. Salon procedures with a change in structure
2. Styling and cosmetics for shine
3. Proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle

What response would you give? I went with the second option since I have more personal success with it. More than 50% of the votes were cast in favor of the third point.

Please make sure you understand me. It is not my intention to set up a contest, a confrontation, over which approach is the best. Each selects what is closest to them. All these techniques are effective.

Right now, I’m in favor of those who put their health and nutrition first.

Furthermore, this does not imply that one must always grow out naturally colored. You can also dye your hair. It also doesn’t imply giving up salon-quality makeup right away.

Shining porous hair doesn’t have to be difficult. You can achieve a healthier and more vibrant look for your hair by selecting the appropriate products and styling methods. Every technique has advantages of its own, whether it’s applying natural oils, hydrating hair masks, or choosing serums that make hair look shiny.

Deeply moisturizing your hair with hydrating hair masks helps to minimize porosity and adds a subtle sheen. Frequent use can turn dry, lifeless hair into a lustrous, shining mane. Natural oils that help seal in moisture and supply vital nutrients, like coconut or argan oil, give your hair a glossy, sleek finish.

Another excellent choice for an instant remedy are serums that enhance shine. They coat the cuticle of the hair, giving it a glossy, smooth appearance. Just be careful not to overuse these products as they can weigh down your hair. You can have shiny, healthy-looking hair every day by adding these easy steps into your hair care regimen.
