What is hair care?
Hair care is important to keep scalp care healthy and to improve hair quality. The basics are to cleanse the scalp with shampoo and take care of the inside and outside of the hair with conditioners and treatments. In addition, it is also effective to improve blood circulation through scalp massage and brushing, and to treat the scalp with hair tonic. The trick is to choose the right type of hair care depending on the amount of sebum on the scalp, how dry the scalp is, the quality of the hair, and hair concerns.
What are the benefits of hair care for men?
Many people may think that men do not need hair care. There are probably many people who think that men do not need hair care. However, even without coloring or perms, hair is damaged by hair dryers and ultraviolet rays, so hair care is essential for maintaining a clean impression. Hair that is sticky due to excessive sebum or dandruff on the head may give a bad impression to others, and damaged hair may lead to a disheveled impression. Incidentally, a good scalp environment and hair quality make styling easier, so those who want to enjoy fashion should take good care of their hair.
What items are essential for hair care?
Here we introduce four items that are indispensable for minimum hair care.
Men’s hair care essential item (1) “Shampoo suitable for one’s scalp
Shampoo is the most basic hair care item. It is sometimes said that shampoos with high cleansing power are bad! In reality, however, the amount of sebum secretion, the amount of styling products applied to the hair, and the time spent shampooing vary from person to person, so no matter what kind of shampoo is used, it is impossible to say that it is “bad” in general. However, if eczema, rashes, or cracking of the skin occurs after using a shampoo, it is not a good idea to continue using it because it is not suitable for your skin. Finding the right shampoo for your scalp is the shortcut to success in hair care.
Hair care Men’s essential item 2) “Conditioners and treatments
After shampooing, you will want to continue using conditioner and treatment. These two are often confused, but their effects and timing of use are different, so it is important to understand the role of each. Conditioner, also called rinse, coats the cuticle on the surface of the hair. Treatments, on the other hand, provide nutrients and moisture to the inside of the hair, repairing damage and improving hair quality. If used at the same time, let the ingredients of the treatment penetrate the hair first, and then cover it with the conditioner.
Hair care Men’s essential item 3) “Hair milk and hair oil
Hair care items are also called “out-bath treatments” or “no-rinse treatments. Briefly explaining their characteristics, hair milk is a treatment that penetrates inside the hair, while hair oil is a conditioner that works on the outside. Both are generally applied after towel-drying to protect hair from heat from a hair dryer or used as a styling agent. Incidentally, hair oil made from natural ingredients can be used for scalp massage before shampooing.
Hair care Men’s essential item (4) “Hair dryer
Just because your hair is short does not mean you should not use a hair dryer, because when moisture evaporates during natural drying, the moisture in your scalp evaporates with it, causing dryness. In addition, cuticles open when moistened, leading to damage from friction. In addition, a wet scalp can lead to an unsanitary scalp environment and cause odor. Excessive heat can also cause damage, but be sure to use a hair dryer.
What kind of hair damage should men be aware of?
The main sources of damage to hair in daily life are friction from pillows, heat from hair dryers, and UV rays during the day. Since it is difficult to avoid these, it is important to take care of damage on an ongoing basis. Damage from coloring and perm chemicals when enjoying fashion, and damage from hair irons and irons are more significant, so focus on damage care.
What are the causes of scalp and hair problems and how to prevent them?
The causes of scalp problems such as itching, dandruff, hair loss, and graying are common to some extent. The major causes are poor blood circulation due to stress and abnormal sebum secretion. Poor circulation makes it difficult for nutrients to reach the scalp, which prevents healthy hair growth and proper sebum secretion. A good balance in sebum production is important to avoid clogged pores and scalp inflammation. It is important to wash one’s hair using a shampoo suitable for one’s own skin, to release stress moderately through exercise and hobbies, and to eat a well-balanced diet.
How can men change their hair texture?
While perms are necessary to straighten frizzy hair or turn straight hair into curly hair, good hair quality can be obtained through regular hair care. Good hair quality is defined as hair that is not stiff, has good manageability, and has the right amount of elasticity and shine, and requires both physical stimulation such as scalp massage and brushing, and scientific approaches such as treatments. To improve hair quality, it is important to accumulate daily efforts, so do not be in a hurry to seek results.
