updated hair care routine - overprocessed, dry hair

PRE WASH

☆ oil / hair mask - oil your roots with your chosen oils (my fav is rosemary) then dampen your hair and apply a hair mask (I use amika soulfood) and wrap in clingfilm and leave for a minimum of 3 hours

WASH

☆ I have 2 routines during my wash

☆ I shampoo with shea moisture intensive hydration 2x and follow with the matching conditioner and leave for 3+ minutes

☆ or I shampoo with the same shampoo again and skip conditioner and on towel dried hair I apply k18

POST WASH

☆ when I've applied k18 wait 4 minutes before brushing or applying follow up products

☆ I use shea moisture strengthen and restore leave in conditioner

☆ loreal elvive hyaluronic acid serum spray (its in a purple bottle)

☆ olaplex no6 (literally saved my hair the first time I overprocessed it, arguably the most important step) I also apply this every night on dry hair

☆ oil - I use loreal elvive coco oil , its so lightweight and hydrating. I also apply this every night and morning

EXTRAS

☆ I used to wash my hair every day but now it's so damaged I wash every 4 days

☆ even though I have straight/ wavy hair I sleep with a satin bonnet - mine is from cantu. it protects my hair from tugging and knotting when I sleep

☆ although I use heat every wash its still only once a week, even if my hair gets kinked and goes back wavy, I will not reapply until the next wash

☆ I try to not do tight hairstyles and if I do it's usually on the 3rd or 4th day when my hair is super greasy and can handle it

☆ claw clips, 'telephone wire' hair bobbles and silk scrunchies will reduce damage on your hair

I'm still learning how to treat my hair so these are just some tips I've found, hairtok is literally my bestie and I'm prioritising hair health in 2024 and trying new routines to help my hair

love ya!

I’m really really proud of where I got my hair after the PP hair loss shit show 🥲

Bald spots + a terribly too short cut at 6 months PP sent me on a mission. I will regrow this mane to its former glory, IDC how much it costs 😅

I did a rosemary mint oil + gua sha for months (Mielle @ Target) and it was honestly great 👍🏽

For almost a year though, I’ve had my eye on this oil by Ranavat.

It’s a Se Asian, woman owned company. The CEO shows you her hair transformation from PP after 2 pregnancies to now at 41 and it’s like 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

But even after a year of monitoring this product I’m just so annoyed by the price. I was ready to buy it as a Xmas gift to myself but figured I should look up the ingredients and see if I can replicate it. Turns out it’s only 3 ingredients! I would love to support this company if I had this kinda dough to spend on hair oil but I don’t. So! Going to make my own and give to my clients too 🫶🏽

For $30, I can probably make like 8 bottles worth of this $70 (per 1.7oz) hair serum 👌🏽✨

[cannibalgh0st]

Here's my hair as of recently! It's brushed out, so this is the length of it :) I'm planning on dying it this weekend. I haven't in like 3 months....so today I'm having a hair oil treatment to make sure my hair is ready😇

Also, plz excuse the dark roots😭😭😭

[cherry-coke-kiss]

I messed up my hair because I wanted blue hair. But idk who the f*ck I thought I was, considering my vibe is literally:

AND I WANTED EXTENSIONS IN THE FIRST PLACE, because I could have colors and when I couldn't stan the color anymore I'd TAKE THEM OFF!!! But I needed to do something to myself before something else ensued and well. I messed up. Time to get it back to health

Unlock the Secret to Hair Growth: Discover the Science Behind the Growband Pro

Are you struggling with hair loss and frustrated by ineffective treatments? You’re not alone. Millions face the challenge of thinning hair or receding hairlines. But what if there was a natural, scientifically-backed solution that could make a real difference? Enter the Growband Pro – an innovative scalp massager designed to address hair loss and promote regrowth. In this post, we’ll dive into the science behind this game-changing device and why it could be the solution you’ve been searching for.

What Is the Growband Pro?

The Growband Pro is a fully automated scalp massager that aims to combat hair loss by increasing blood flow to your scalp. Unlike traditional treatments that can come with side effects, this device offers a natural approach to promoting hair regrowth. Let’s explore how it works and what makes it stand out.

The Science Behind Hair Growth

The foundation of the Growband Pro’s effectiveness lies in its ability to enhance blood circulation. Here’s how this works:

Increased Blood Flow: Scalp massages have long been known to stimulate blood flow, but the Growband Pro takes it to the next level with its automated design. Research shows that increased blood circulation delivers more oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles, which are crucial for hair growth and thickness. Studies, such as those found in the National Center for Biotechnology Information, highlight how this stimulation can significantly increase hair thickness and promote healthier hair.

Scientific Evidence: Various studies support the benefits of scalp stimulation for hair growth. For instance, research published in "Dermatologic Therapy" and other scientific journals confirms that improved blood flow to the scalp can positively affect hair growth by rejuvenating hair follicles. This evidence reinforces the Growband Pro’s approach to tackling hair loss.

Why Choose the Growband Pro?

Here are some compelling reasons to consider the Growband Pro for your hair care routine:

Scientifically Proven: Backed by scientific research, the Growband Pro uses proven methods to increase hair thickness and promote regrowth. This sets it apart from other treatments that may lack scientific validation.

100% Natural, No Side Effects: Unlike minoxidil and finasteride, which can have unwanted side effects, the Growband Pro offers a natural solution with no known adverse effects. It’s a safe alternative for those concerned about the potential risks of traditional hair loss treatments.

Fully Automated and Portable: The Growband Pro is designed for convenience. Its fully automated functionality means you don’t have to manually perform scalp massages. You can simply wear the Growband Pro, and it will handle the rest, allowing you to go about your day or relax while it works. Plus, its portable design means you can use it anywhere, making it easy to fit into your routine.

Cost-Effective: Compared to expensive hair transplant surgeries, the Growband Pro is a more affordable option. It offers long-term benefits without the high costs associated with surgical treatments.

Professor Andrew Huberman talked extensively about blood flow on his podcast about hair loss recently. Huberman is a highly respected professor at Standford School of Medicine.

How to Use the Growband Pro

Using the Growband Pro is straightforward:

1. Place the Growband Pro on your head and adjust for a snug fit.

2. Connect the controller, turn it on, and let it inflate to provide a comfortable massage.

3. Relax for 10 to 20 minutes while the device increases blood flow to your scalp.

Final Thoughts

If you’re seeking a natural and effective way to address hair loss, the Growband Pro offers a promising solution. Its scientific backing, natural approach, and user-friendly design make it a standout choice. Give it a try and see how it can help you achieve the fuller, healthier hair you’ve been dreaming of.

Okay so I have colorful hair. I have had colorful hair for years, me and my mom started changing my hair color around 13 years old and then started doing unnatural "fun" colors when I was about 16, so it's been a while....

And I have some tricks to the trade!

Disclaimer: I am not a professional and I am not rich, so these are all budget friendly ways I have learned to keep my color bright and my hair happy. I also refuse to take cold showers to "prolong" the color but if you feel that is best it can be added in to most of my routines.

So this is my natural hair. This was about 2 years of just no coloring, I have (white person) curls and this photo was taken right before a cut so I had no product in to control the frizz! As you can see I am a brunette so bleaching is needed, but this tends to kill your hair and I could honestly explain the science to you if you want but that's for another post.

So this was my hair the morning of a great bleaching.

This was the first sacrifice! I just love this photo so I thought why not add it in, this is gonna be a long post no matter what.

I spent 7 hours in the salon, it was a training salon so the people doing my hair were learning and it saved me some money. I typically do my own hair, but when bleaching or doing a drastic cut I like to have someone else (who can actually see the back of my head) in charge of the process.

My goal color for this particular hair style was a deep emarld teal and I was chopping off a lot of hair.

This was the color we got to, not my goal color but as close as they could get. I cannot stress this enough, every salon straightens my hair despite me telling then over and over I have curly hair. Personally I hate this because my hair already gets enough damage from the bleach and I try to avoid heat. So if you have this same issue, just be firm and say no heat. I always fail because I'm shy.

As you can see I only had about half an inch or less of natural roots showing. This is called a shadow root and I HIGHLY reccomend for anyone who is going to let the roots grow out a bit. If you are down for a salon touch up every few weeks then great, but this makes sure that my root grows out uneven and looks about as natural as brown to green hair can!

Also for reference: that photo was taken on March 11th, 2023.

This was my hair by April 6th, 2023.

That was only 26 days of growth. My hair grows fast.

But also, the color changed!

By May 28th, 2023 I had reached this color.

And since then I have stuck to this sorta bright teal color.

Now again, I have had this hair color for 4 months by the time I am writing this. And to keep hair that bright for 4 months, whole also tweaking the color, is a little difficult.

Most people will suggest recoloring your hair every two weeks with an entire box kit (for me that's about $40 every 2 weeks). I'm not doing that.

I have also seen people use those expensive color shampoo and conditioner sets, I cannot afford those and they come in such small quantities. But they gave me an idea and I made my own version.

My secret is Kiss Aloe Hair color. (This is my name for it not the real name)

I type that exact thing into my Amazon search bar everytime.

And this is the product. Kiss tintation semi-permanant hair color treatment. It's about $6 a bottle and I have not run out of a bottle yet!

I use these to change the color, when I had pink hair I purchased a red bottle and just added red in little by little to keep it vibrant. When I had purple I purchased a navy blue bottle and then used both the blue and the red alternating to see how the color changed.

With my teal hair I have 2 bottles, the cyan and emerald. The cyan is just a really light blue and the emerald looks like a dark teal.

I do try and moisturize my hair, and these colors are not very chemical based, they are kind and easy to use. I typically will mix some in with a hair mask and some conditioner about once a month for a "color boost". This is the equivalent of buying a huge container of overtone for like $30 but instead I only spend about $3 or $5 (depending on brand) every month to just purchase a small hair mask. Mix wise, I change my proportions everytime, now I just go off how bright the color looks. You can add as much or as little as you want.

*hair masks are like a deep conditioning treatment for your hair, and if the mask is too small you can always just mix in some of your typical conditioner.

I will usually leave these in for an entire day, I am a lazy person so I will mix it up and layer my hair in the mask around 10am on a Sunday and then put it in a bun or cap. I will then leave it in as I do laundry, cook, clean, I have ridden a horse with it on before! Then by like 6 or 8pm I take a shower, rinse it out and wash my hair like normal.

I probably only need to keep the mask on for 30 minutes to an hour. So feel free to be better than me, I guess I just really want my hair to suck up the moisture!

For a smaller dose of color to the hair I use the color in my normal showers. This means whenever I have shampoo or conditioner in my hand I add a line or some drops of color in and mix it with my finger. I do this a lot with conditioner, it's how I keep my color so bright without spending a ton of time. It's my own color conditioner if you think about it. I do leave conditioner in for about 5 to 10 minutes every time, color or no color, but again I like my hair moisturized. Also, I have learned that if you shave your legs and wash your face (depending on method and efficency) it eats up the time your conditioner is left in your hair and I can have 20 minutes of allowing my hair to soak up color and moisture on my wash days.

I do want to point out, I still have my blue and red bottles, both purchased about 3 or 2 years ago, and neither has gone bad. I use them on my sisters hair for fun. So these bottles go a long way and since they don't have a ton of chemicals, I trust them to have a pretty long shelf life.

For my blue hair, I have had to use a lot more product than I did with the red or purple (my hair held those colors better) but I have been using the emerald and cyan bottles with my older navy blue bottle for almost 8 months and have not run out of one yet. So in total, for 8 months of color that's like $18-$24 for the bottles of color alone.

I would not use an already opened bottle of box dye or artic fox after 2 years for reference. But these I will.

So that's my secret!

I am always happy to give more hair color advice if needed so feel free to ask!

Come fermare la rottura dei capelli

La rottura dei capelli può essere causata da stress, calore, condizioni sottostanti e altro ancora. Scoprite quali possono essere le cause della rottura dei capelli e come fermarle.

La rottura dei capelli ha molte cause diverse. I capelli sani dipendono da una cuticola interna con squame sovrapposte che tengono insieme le ciocche.

Quando queste squame si sfaldano, i capelli possono seccarsi e infine separarsi, danneggiandosi. Questo provoca rotture e altri sintomi, come l'effetto crespo e la secchezza.

Per saperne di più su alcune delle 12 cause più comuni di rottura dei capelli e su ciò che si può fare al riguardo.

1. Dieta

L'antico detto “sei ciò che mangi” ha molto a che fare con la salute dei capelli e della pelle.

Alcune sostanze nutritive aiutano i capelli a crescere e a prevenire le rotture dovute ai danni. Assicuratevi di assumere una quantità sufficiente di zinco, ferro e acido folico nella vostra dieta quotidiana.

Anche proteine e antiossidanti adeguati (presenti negli alimenti vegetali) possono mantenere i capelli liberi da danni. Anche alcune vitamine possono aiutare la crescita dei capelli.

2. Lo stress

Esistono numerose prove che dimostrano i legami tra stress e perdita di capelli, ma è anche noto che lo stress può portare alla rottura dei capelli.

Il telogen effluvium è un tipo comune di alopecia causata dallo stress, probabilmente legato a danni ai capelli. Questo tipo di stress rende i follicoli inattivi, per cui i capelli che sono nel bel mezzo di un ciclo di crescita possono spezzarsi. Potreste notare anche la caduta di capelli vecchi.

La gestione dello stress può portare a capelli più sani.

3. Secchezza

I capelli insolitamente secchi possono essere uno dei precursori di danni e rotture.

Può anche essere causata da una serie di fattori, tra cui il clima secco, la scarsa umidità e il calore eccessivo. Assicuratevi di usare acqua calda e non bollente quando lavate i capelli: quest'ultima può portare a un'ulteriore secchezza.

Se le punte sono secche, considerate la possibilità di concentrare lo shampoo solo sul cuoio capelluto. Anche il balsamo è da evitare. Prendete in considerazione l'idea di provare una maschera per capelli sulle medie e sulle punte.

Se avete poco tempo, spruzzate un balsamo leave-in prima di pettinare i capelli bagnati.

4. Danni da calore

Per ottenere i migliori risultati dall'asciugacapelli, dalla piastra o dall'arricciacapelli, è necessario un calore elevato. Tuttavia, quando si utilizzano questi strumenti in modo scorretto o eccessivo, si rischia di danneggiare la cuticola a causa delle temperature estreme.

Un modo per prevenire i danni da calore in generale è quello di far riposare le ciocche da tutti gli strumenti di styling almeno una volta alla settimana. Per ridurre i danni effettivi provocati dal calore degli strumenti per lo styling, scegliete le versioni in ceramica, che si riscaldano in modo più uniforme e non devono essere utilizzate ripetutamente sulle stesse sezioni di capelli.

È anche importante proteggere i capelli prima di applicare il calore. Utilizzate uno spray termoprotettivo per ridurre al minimo i danni.

5. Eccessiva lavorazione

Permanenti, rilassanti, stirature professionali e colorazioni possono far sembrare i capelli più sani dopo la prima o le seconde sedute. Ma se questi servizi vengono eseguiti troppo spesso, la cuticola può rompersi e causare danni ai capelli.

Anche le tinture permanenti possono interagire con il cuoio capelluto e potenzialmente causare dermatiti da contatto.

L'American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) raccomanda di prolungare l'intervallo tra le sedute a 8-10 settimane, se possibile. Nel frattempo, provate una maschera per capelli per prolungare i risultati.

6. Lavaggio eccessivo

Se avete la pelle grassa, è anche più probabile che abbiate un eccesso di produzione di sebo (olio naturale) nel cuoio capelluto. Questo può portare alla tentazione di lavare i capelli più spesso del necessario.

Sebbene i lavaggi quotidiani vadano bene se avete i capelli grassi, non dovreste lavarli più volte al giorno. D'altra parte, i capelli estremamente secchi possono necessitare di uno shampoo settimanale.

Inoltre, assicuratevi di fare uno shampoo delicato sul cuoio capelluto e di applicare il balsamo in modo uniforme dalle punte alle radici.

7. Asciugatura impropria dell'asciugamano

Quando si esce dalla doccia, è naturale strofinare l'asciugamano sulla pelle e sui capelli. Tuttavia, questo movimento di sfregamento danneggia i capelli quando sono più vulnerabili (dopo essere stati bagnati).

Invece di strofinare l'acqua dai capelli, tamponate un asciugamano assorbente intorno ai capelli. Potete anche lasciare un asciugamano tra i capelli come misura temporanea per assorbire l'acqua in eccesso.

8. Fascette elastiche per capelli

Le fascette elastiche per capelli sono un must per tenere i capelli lontani dal viso mentre ci si allena. E, ammettiamolo, possono essere utili nelle giornate di cattiva salute dei capelli o quando si va di fretta.

Il problema delle fascette per capelli è che tirano il cuoio capelluto e la cuticola dei capelli. Potreste anche notare che alcuni capelli cadono ogni volta che sciogliete la coda di cavallo.

Potete ovviare a questo inconveniente portando i capelli sciolti ogni tanto o facendo un'acconciatura un po' più sciolta, in modo da non tirare così tanto i capelli.

Inoltre, assicuratevi di indossare dei veri legacci e non degli elastici che possono danneggiare i capelli.

9. Spazzolatura e pettinatura errate

Avrete sentito dire che spazzolare i capelli con 100 spazzolate al giorno fa bene ai capelli, ma secondo il DAA si tratta semplicemente di una leggenda. Si raccomanda invece di spazzolare e pettinare solo quando si acconciano i capelli.

Uno studio clinico del 2009Trusted Source ha rilevato che una spazzolatura meno frequente ha portato a una riduzione della perdita di capelli nelle donne.

Assicuratevi di usare pettini a denti larghi per evitare rotture. Inoltre, si dovrebbe usare la spazzola solo quando i capelli sono asciutti ed evitare di usare setole di plastica. Provate invece una spazzola con setole naturali.

10. Mancanza di tagli di capelli

Può sembrare che tagliare i capelli possa danneggiarli. Ironicamente, però, la spuntatura dei capelli può aiutare a mantenerli sani e privi di doppie punte.

Si può pensare a una spuntatina ai capelli come a un'esfoliazione della pelle: in entrambi i casi è necessario rimuovere alcune cellule vecchie per favorire la crescita di quelle nuove. Quando si hanno le doppie punte, queste spaccature nella cuticola possono risalire il resto della lunghezza dei capelli e portare a rotture.

Rivolgetevi al vostro parrucchiere ogni otto settimane circa, a seconda della lunghezza e della consistenza dei vostri capelli. Anche se i capelli stanno crescendo, tagliare le punte danneggiate può prevenire ulteriori rotture.

11. Ipotiroidismo

L'ipotiroidismo (disturbo della tiroide bassa) si verifica quando la ghiandola tiroidea non produce abbastanza ormoni tiroidei. Sebbene la tiroide sia di piccole dimensioni, svolge un ruolo importante nel mantenimento del funzionamento del corpo. Ciò include il metabolismo, la frequenza cardiaca e persino la crescita dei capelli.

Le persone con la tiroide bassa possono notare un eccessivo danneggiamento e perdita di capelli, soprattutto sotto la doccia o dopo la spazzolatura. Se i capelli secchi e sfibrati sono associati a un calo di energia, a un improvviso aumento di peso e alla depressione, è bene rivolgersi a un medico per un controllo della tiroide.

12. Disturbi alimentari

Se voi o una persona cara soffrite di un disturbo alimentare, i danni ai capelli sono un possibile sintomo.

Questo perché alcuni disturbi alimentari causano malnutrizione, come l'anoressia e la bulimia nervosa. In questi casi, i follicoli piliferi non ricevono le sostanze nutritive necessarie per produrre nuovi capelli e il processo si interrompe del tutto. Si possono persino notare nuovi capelli che si spezzano nel bel mezzo del ciclo di crescita.

I disturbi alimentari possono portare a conseguenze ancora più gravi e richiedere un trattamento medico. Leggere le storie personali di chi ha superato i disturbi alimentari può aiutare a ispirare voi o la vostra persona cara a cercare un trattamento.

Consigli per capelli sani

Per prevenire future rotture dei capelli, prendete in considerazione i seguenti consigli per la cura dei capelli:

Lavare e condizionare i capelli quotidianamente, ma con delicatezza.

Usare un set di shampoo e balsamo per nuotatori dopo essere stati in piscina.

Cercate di far asciugare i capelli all'aria quando è possibile.

Assicuratevi che tutti gli intrecci e le estensioni siano leggeri in modo da non tirare il cuoio capelluto.

Considerate un nuovo taglio di capelli che richieda una manutenzione meno dannosa.

Seguite una dieta ricca di sostanze nutritive per assicurare ai vostri capelli tutti i nutrienti di cui hanno bisogno.

Evitate di indossare cappelli stretti per moda, da usare solo per proteggersi dal sole.

Il risultato

La rottura dei capelli può essere frustrante. La buona notizia è che la maggior parte delle cause sottostanti possono essere corrette.

Se, dopo aver apportato modifiche alla dieta e alla routine dei capelli, i capelli si spezzano ancora, potrebbe essere il momento di rivolgersi a un professionista della salute per escludere eventuali problemi medici di fondo.
