Long, thick and healthy braids at all times were considered the crown of feminine beauty, but nowadays it’s not easy for everyone to secure such a "crown" for themselves. As they grow, their hair fades, falls, splits, becomes brittle.
How to save them, returning the natural fortress - a question of interest to women of any age. And here beauties come to the aid of specialists of beauty salons, offering a wide variety of services for the care of hair, and old grandmother's recipes, tested by many years of use and convenient for its accessibility, as well as the fact that they do not include any chemical components.
According to experts, the number of hairs on the head depends on the number of hair follicles, which is predetermined genetically at birth, and if there is not very much of them by nature, grow a braid, as they say, thick, probably will not work as thick as an arm.
But they say that about one-third of these same bulbs, under adverse conditions, "hibernates" without providing growth, and "waking" them in one way or another, the density can be significantly increased.
And, moreover, not even the thickest curls with a good care acquire a healthy sheen and pomp. What should it consist of, we will try to tell in this article.
Growth problems
Many girls complain that it is difficult for them to grow long curls, although they really want it. In such a situation, as a rule, there are several reasons, both internal and external. The speed and quality of the growth of strands can be affected by various factors, including:
- Changes in the level of hormonal levels, which usually happens during pregnancy, in the early stages of which the health of the hairline improves and then begins to plummet. As a rule, after the birth of the child, everything returns to its original positions, and the position is normalized.
- An irrational diet that does not contain the necessary vitamins, minerals and microelements, without which it is impossible to achieve success in the matter of lengthening and healing the hair. Especially often it happens with young lovers to replace breakfast with fast food, chips and carbonated drinks.
- Emotional background. Specialists are aware of cases when severe stress even became the cause of alopecia - total hair loss, sometimes leading to complete baldness, which is a real tragedy for a girl. To cure such a disease is difficult, and in some cases impossible.
- Wrong care. This may include too frequent washing with unsuitable shampoos, blow-drying, perm and straightening, dyeing and other cosmetic procedures, leading to disruption of the structure of the hair stem and the loss of natural elasticity. Because of this, the proper nutrition of the hair stalks is disturbed, they become dull and brittle.
- Bad habits, such as smoking, will significantly slow down the process of growing.
- Lack of fresh air, walks, sports, - young people are increasingly spending their free time at the computer.
- The habit of hairstyle, squeezing and traumatic hair, - for example, twisting them in a tight knot or pulling the elastic in the style of "horse tail". When this is repeated every day, it is fraught with a deterioration in the quality of the hair.
- Work - when professional duties require a person to wear a headdress in the service, and spend long hours in an atmosphere of high dustiness, or too dry / moist air, this can not but affect the condition of his hair.
- Genetics - it is known that a large role in this matter is played by the factor of heredity, as well as the race to which a person belongs. Oriental peoples have long been distinguished by long and thick strands, the representatives of the Negroid race, they grow much slower, while being curly and fluffy, and the Europoids occupy a place in the middle of this rating. On average, Europeans have curls growing at a rate of 1 cm per month, but this indicator also affects the time of year - in winter and early spring, due to lack of vitamins and sunlight, the process is much slower than in summer and early autumn.
From the foregoing, it can be understood that in order for the strands to grow better, they need, first of all, to provide quality care, giving up some habits in terms of food, hairstyles, etc., as well as to change their lifestyle, and possibly profession What else besides this can help rectify the situation?
