Every woman dreams of luxurious hair. But the poor environment, unbalanced nutrition and improper care have a negative impact on health, disrupting the functioning of the sebaceous glands. You can get rid of this unpleasant problem by finding a suitable cleanser. In the article “Products” we will tell you how to choose the best shampoo for very oily hair at the roots, and we will give a rating of trusted manufacturers.

When purchasing, you need to pay attention to the composition. Trichologists and dermatologists recommend avoiding products containing sulfate compounds and parabens in favor of more natural herbal options.

A huge assortment significantly complicates the purchasing process. What should you give preference to - pharmacy or professional cosmetics? Key rule: the base should not contain a large amount of nutritious and oily ingredients, as they contribute to the formation of a specific plaque.

Features of oily hair: how to choose shampoo

There is a film in the scalp that is responsible for protecting the skin from damage and drying out. Possessing disinfecting properties, it prevents the proliferation of microbes and the penetration of harmful bacteria into the epidermis. If the sebaceous glands function correctly, this lubricant does not affect the roots and does not contribute to their contamination. However, due to certain factors, sebum production becomes more concentrated and active, which leads to “greasy” hair.

Causes of excess fat:

• hormonal imbalances;
• incorrectly selected care products;
• unbalanced and unhealthy diet;
• abuse of varnishes, gels and mousses.

A special shampoo for quickly oily hair will help get rid of a rather unpleasant problem. Distinguished by its special chemical composition, it provides proper cleansing and helps unclog pores.

Avoid cosmetics that weigh down the root structure. Avoid products with silicone, sulfates, and parabens. Do not use products that disrupt the hydrolipid balance of the skin.

The best option is hypoallergenic, environmentally friendly foams that have a soft and delicate effect.

Kinds

“Greasiness” is not just an aesthetically unpleasant effect, but a rather serious ailment that requires correctly selected treatment.

Modern experts in the field of trichology identify the following types of shampoos against oily hair:

• For thin and weakened curls. They cleanse delicately without damaging the delicate and sensitive structure of the bulbs.
• For painted ones. Strands subjected to frequent dyeing undergo significant structural changes, and therefore require more nutritious and fortified care.
• For sensitive skin. When the scalp is prone to irritation and dryness, preference should be given to more gentle, sulfate-free formulations.
• With menthol particles. They have a pronounced tonic effect, activate blood microcirculation, and promote a surge of strength.
• Balancing. The most optimal option for those with greasy roots and dry ends.
• Regulatory. They influence the activity of the glands, normalizing excretory activity.

Video

We present to your attention an informative video. With its help, you can easily determine which is the best shampoo for oily hair.

Owners of mixed hair types have a difficult task - choosing the right care to achieve balance when the hair at the roots tends to be oily, and at the ends it is dry, brittle and prone to excision. Caring for mixed-type hair requires an integrated approach, which is also necessary in styling.

Combined hair type is characterized by the following characteristics:

• oiliness at the roots and dryness at the ends;
• lack of volume at the roots;
• brittle split ends;
• The curls look unkempt after 2-3 days.

Reasons for the emergence of a set of problems

There are several reasons for the occurrence of oily roots and dry ends, which can be a clue in choosing effective options for caring for mixed-type hair.

• Genetic predisposition.
• Hormonal imbalance, endocrine diseases, kidney, liver, and gastrointestinal diseases.
• Metabolic disorders in the body.
• Severe stress, excessive emotional and physical stress, lack of proper sleep and rest.
• Poor nutrition (excess of sweet, fatty, spicy, salty, junk food with a lack of healthy foods, vitamins, minerals).
• Long-term use of certain medications (antibiotics, hormones, medications used in chemotherapy).
• Negative influence of the environment (aggressive indoor environment, long-term exposure to the sun, cold without a hat).
• Incorrectly selected care products (shampoos, balms, masks, serums).
• Improper washing (hard or hot water, repeated application of cleansers, incorrect use of additional care products for mixed hair).
• Frequent or incorrect hairdressing manipulations (coloring, perming, straightening, lamination, Botox, other procedures).

Important advice from the editors!

If you want to improve the condition of your hair, you should pay special attention to the shampoos you use. A frightening figure - 97% of shampoos from well-known brands contain substances that poison our body. The main components due to which all the troubles on the labels are designated as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, coco sulfate. These chemicals destroy the structure of the curls, the hair becomes brittle, loses elasticity and strength, and the color fades. But the worst thing is that this nasty stuff gets into the liver, heart, lungs, accumulates in organs and can cause cancer. We advise you not to use products that contain these substances. Recently, experts from our editorial team conducted an analysis of sulfate-free shampoos, where products from Mulsan Cosmetic took first place. The only manufacturer of completely natural cosmetics. All products are manufactured under strict quality control and certification systems. We recommend visiting the official online store mulsan.ru. If you doubt the naturalness of your cosmetics, check the expiration date; it should not exceed one year of storage.

To solve the problems characteristic of this hair type, it is very important to act in two directions at once. You should undergo an examination and follow the doctor’s recommendations. After eliminating the root cause, you can move on to restorative procedures.

An important stage in recovery is adjusting the diet and taking pharmaceutical vitamin and mineral complexes, which should be prescribed by a specialist.

It is necessary to reduce the influence of aggressive factors - if possible, avoid hair dryers, straightening irons, electric curling irons, and coloring and curling procedures. Getting proper rest, giving up bad habits, and reducing stress will help you cope with the combined problem.

Problems require an integrated approach to cleansing.

1. The need to get rid of excess fat in the root zone.
2. Solution to the problem of dryness, brittleness and split ends.

As a rule, most often only the first problem of this duo, which causes the greatest inconvenience, is solved. But using shampoos for oily hair along the entire length further aggravates the problem of dry ends.

Repeated application of detergents will be incorrect, leading to the opposite effect - the hairstyle will take on an unkempt and greasy appearance even faster.

To solve the problem, you should use high-quality care products for mixed hair types or shampoos labeled “neutral pH.” It is better to choose detergents with natural ingredients, without the use of aggressive cleaning ingredients (substances).

Special medicated shampoos for excessive oiliness are recommended to be used in courses lasting 2-3 weeks. The most popular additives in such shampoos are sulfur, birch tar, olamine, piroctone, and salicylic acid.

There are a few key points to highlight regarding cleansing:

1. The water for washing should be warm and soft, but if the system has hard water with a high content of harmful impurities and chlorine, it is advisable to use boiled water.
2. You should not apply shampoo directly to your head; it is better to dilute it with water in a ratio of 1:3.
3. If shampoos for oily hair are used, they should be applied only to the top half, avoiding the ends. Before washing, the ends should be treated with special masks, serums or oils for dry damaged hair.
4. It is better to rinse off soap products with slightly cool water, while improving blood circulation and normalizing the functioning of the sebaceous glands.
5. Wash your hair as it gets dirty, using shampoos suitable for frequent use.
6. Use dry shampoo between washes to get rid of oiliness at the base of the hairline and refresh your hairstyle.

The opposing features of this type of hair cause a lot of trouble and require increased attention in terms of care after the cleansing procedure. Additional care for mixed type involves the use of various nourishing, strengthening, and restorative agents.

1. To normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands, you can use rinsing with acidified water. For 1 liter of boiled water, take 1 tablespoon of natural apple cider vinegar or juice from half a lemon, mix this mixture thoroughly. Rinse hair as needed.
2. It is recommended to rinse light strands with chamomile infusion at the rate of 4 tablespoons of flowers per 1 liter of hot water. You need to rinse your hair with warm infusion.
3. For rinsing, infusions of oak bark, St. John's wort and calendula flowers, plantain leaves, nettle, coltsfoot, sage, peppermint, and birch buds are suitable. Healing infusions are prepared from a collection or a separate type of herbs. To do this, pour 5 tablespoons of herbal ingredients into 1 liter of boiling water, leave for 20-30 minutes, filter, and cool. Rinse your hair with a slightly warm infusion that does not require rinsing.

To restore the structure, it is necessary to include intensive products for dry and damaged curls in the care of mixed hair types. As a rule, they contain silk proteins, ceramides, essential oils and plant extracts. Such cosmetics should only be applied to the ends.

For combination hair, you can use masks made from natural ingredients.

1. Clay mask - 3-4 tablespoons of white or blue clay are mixed with a small amount of water or milk. Apply the mixture to the entire length of the hair, rinse after 30-40 minutes.
2. Refreshing cucumber mask. One medium-sized cucumber is grated and the juice is squeezed out. Add one egg to the mixture and mix thoroughly. Apply the mask to your hair and rinse off after 30 minutes with warm water.
3. Kefir mask is available to everyone. In a bowl, mix 0.5 cups of kefir, 1 tablespoon of olive oil (grape seed oil) and 1 egg. Apply the mask from roots to ends of hair. Wash off with warm water after 40-60 minutes.

Features of drying and styling

Mixed-type hair is very demanding when it comes to drying and styling. To reduce the traumatic effects of these procedures, it is necessary:

• Wet curls should be dried with a soft towel. Movements should be gentle, wetting the hair along its entire length.
• Try to dry your hair naturally, without using a hair dryer. If such a need arises, you should use an electric device at medium temperature, bringing it no more than 30 cm to the wet strands.
• If possible, avoid using curling irons, electric curling irons, or contour irons. They can be replaced with soft curlers (papillots, self-curling curlers, silicone or foam curlers, corrugated curlers) to create beautiful curls or waves.
• For styling, use mixed-type products - weightless foams, mousses, special protective sprays.
• Choose a comfortable comb made of high-quality natural materials (a wooden brush with soft bristles or rounded teeth).
• Wash your combs regularly with warm water and a cleanser to avoid transferring dirt and grease particles to clean strands.
• Comb dried hair extremely carefully, without touching the scalp or injuring the ends.

Caring for mixed hair types requires time and patience. But if you follow the recommendations, paying special attention to your hairstyle not from time to time, but constantly, all the problems inherent in the combined type will gradually disappear.

Despite the wide variety of modern cosmetic products, often going to the store to buy shampoo for those who have problems with hair ends in another failure. This is because the purpose of a good shampoo is not only to cleanse the hair. A quality detergent should take into account their type in order to nourish the follicles, provide care to the scalp, and also promote the normal production of sebum - the secretion of the sebaceous glands. It is these qualities that make it possible to provide hair with an attractive appearance and radiant shine for several days. Therefore, when choosing a shampoo, it is not enough to rely only on reviews and popularity of the brand.

Let's find out what types of detergents are available on the cosmetic market today and how to choose shampoo for different hair types.

Types of shampoos

To choose a shampoo, you first need to choose your own and choose a suitable detergent for it, preferably with a natural composition. Today, shampoo manufacturers offer customers the following types.

1. For normal hair. Such products do not contain aggressive detergent components, so as not to interfere with the natural secretion of sebum. Normal hair stays clean longer because it is less oily at the roots. Therefore, shampoos for them are intended for gentle superficial cleansing.
2. For dry hair. These detergents also contain few dirt-removing components. This is due to the fact that dry hair, due to the lack of oiliness at the roots, does not become dirty quickly. But due to the lack of natural protection - the skin secretion of the sebaceous glands, they are susceptible to dryness, fragility, and split ends. Therefore, shampoos for them have more moisturizing components.
3. For oily hair. They contain a lot of detergents. It is this aggressiveness that allows people with oily hair to get rid of excess secretion from the skin.

Modern detergents are also divided according to their intended purpose.

1. For daily use. Their composition is distinguished by their gentle surface action. They have few cleansing and moisturizing components and do not irritate the hair and scalp.
2. For thin and weakened hair. Such detergents are endowed with regenerating properties. They add volume, nourish and strengthen hair.
3. Anti-dandruff. These are shampoos that slow down the division of skin cells and effectively cleanse the head of dead scales.
4. For dry damaged hair. Designed to restore structure and give a healthy appearance. Usually contain natural proteins. This shampoo is recommended for those who have porous hair.
5. Tinted. Representatives of this category have tinting and brightening properties. Used to weaken hair color and change its shade.
6. Air conditioning. At the same time, they are endowed with the qualities of a shampoo and a caring balm. They are convenient for traveling, but it is not advisable to use them constantly. After all, a detergent is supposed to cleanse, but a balm is designed to penetrate the hair. The active substances in the shampoo neutralize the effect of the conditioner, weakening its effect. Therefore, it is better to use such tools separately.
7. Medicinal. This group of shampoos helps with alopecia, dandruff, psoriasis, lichen, seborrheic eczema and other diseases of the hair and scalp. They are produced by pharmaceutical companies after undergoing clinical trials. They are sold in pharmacies and used after consultation with a dermatologist or trichologist.

Shampoos are also divided according to gender - for men and women. Basically, their difference is only in the smell and design of the bottle. But some detergent manufacturers take into account the different activity of the sebaceous glands on the scalp in men and women.

Shampoos for children are developed most carefully. Their active substances have a gentle, mild effect. They contain fewer dyes and fragrances, do not irritate the mucous membrane of the eyes, and do not cause an allergic reaction.

Shampoos can also be liquid, creamy, in the form of a gel, foam in aerosols, and also dry in the form of a powder.

For normal hair

Normal is healthy hair that does not get dirty for 3-4 days. They do not tangle, do not split, do not have dandruff, and require washing 1-2 times a week.

Since normal hair gets moderately oily at the roots, it is easiest to choose a shampoo for it. To do this, you just need to choose a detergent that does not affect the activity of the sebaceous glands. Any shampoo labeled “For normal hair” will do.

For oily hair

The cause of oily roots is excessive activity of the sebaceous glands. It is the large secretion of subcutaneous sebum that leads to hair quickly becoming dirty.

Very strong activity of the sebaceous glands is often a consequence of the disease - oil seborrhea. This kind of hair has to be kept clean all the time. Although it even happens that they look dirty just a few hours after washing your hair. In this case, you need to seek help from a trichologist.

What is the best shampoo for oily hair? - drying at the roots:

• Wella SP Regulate;
• KeraSys Esthaar Hair Energy Shampoo;
• Angel Professional;
• Nexxt Professional Lotion System Balance;
• DeLaMark;
• Evinal Placenta;
• Savonry “Meadow freshness”;
• Nature med “Onion-garlic complex”;
• Planeta Organica SAVON NOIR.

Permanent perm or long-term root volume - Fleecing, Boost Up or Bouffant - will also help get rid of oiliness at the roots. But if “chemistry” can dry the entire length, then these procedures only affect the roots.

For dry hair

The consequence of low activity of the sebaceous glands is dry hair and scalp. And also this problem is often accompanied by a number of trichological diseases - the initial stage of lichen, trichoptilosis, seborrhea. The presence of dandruff indicates a fungal infection that affects the follicles. Very often, the cause of dryness is the depletion of hair follicles. Dry hair is thin, prone to splitting and brittleness.

When choosing a shampoo for dry hair, you need to take into account that it needs moisturizing. The detergent must contain components that will nourish the skin and hair and restore the integrity of their scaly layer.

The following brands of shampoos will make dry hair smooth, silky and manageable when combed:

• Natura Siberica “Protection and Nutrition”;
• Dove Hair Therapy “Nourishing Care”;
• Wella Pro Series Moisture;
• Londa Professional Deep Moisture;
• Estel Otium Aqua Moisturizing;
• Natura Siberica “Volume and hydration”;
• L'Oreal Botanicals Fresh Care "Wild Saffron".

In addition to shampoos for the care of dry hair, this category also includes detergents for sensitive scalp:

• Reveur Fraicheur Scalp Shampoo;
• “La-Cri” “For dry and sensitive scalp”;
• Olive Way.

Regular nutrition will also help in treating dry hair. You need to make keratin or oil-based masks 1-2 times a week.

For combination hair

The mixed type is the most common. When choosing a shampoo for oily hair at the roots and dry hair at the ends, you need to pay attention to a specialized group of products designed for combination hair types. They rid the scalp and root area of ​​excess oil, but do not affect the length and do not dry out the ends.

Among the wide variety of care products for combination hair types, preference should be given to professional shampoos. But this does not mean that goods from regular stores will not help solve the problem.

For oily hair at the roots and dry hair at the ends, the following brands of shampoos are suitable:

• L'Oreal Professionnel Pure Resource;
• Estel Otium Unique;
• KeraSys Repairing Shampoo Damage Care;
• Kleona "Violet";
• Creightons Clay Balancing;
• "Eksta" Placental.

And also for the combined type, all shampoos for oily hair are suitable, if after using them you apply a balm or a section-sealing serum to the ends.

How to choose men's shampoo

The structure of hair in people does not differ according to gender. Therefore, in this regard, there are no special criteria when choosing a shampoo. Yes, many manufacturers make separate brands of detergents just for men. But most often this is just a marketing ploy. But some companies still take into account the difference in the activity of the sebaceous glands - in men it is slightly higher. Although this is a minor parameter.

The main difference is that men rarely expose their hair to heat styling or chemical treatments such as perming, straightening or coloring. Therefore, they are less likely to have dry or combination hair.

However, since men begin to go bald much earlier than women, after 30 years they need to pay attention to the prevention of hair loss. To do this, you should choose appropriate detergents.

Which hair loss shampoo is best for men? - the following brands are suitable:

Otherwise, men can use the same cleaning products as women.

Effective anti-dandruff detergents are rarely found on supermarket shelves. Most of these shampoos are sold in pharmacies.

Modern means of combating dandruff include the following:

If dandruff occurs, you should consult a trichologist. After all, its appearance may be associated not only with improper functioning of the sebaceous glands of the scalp, but also due to infection with a contagious fungus. In this case, the follicles may malfunction, which sometimes leads to hair loss.

Which shampoo to choose for children

Up to two years of age, children have vellus hair, which is then replaced by full-fledged hair. It resembles soft cotton wool, does not fit well and lacks thickness.

When choosing shampoo for children, it is important to consider the following characteristics:

Choosing shampoo for a teenager

During adolescence, there is strong activity of the sebaceous glands. Including on the scalp. Because of this, the root zone becomes excessively oily, and acne may appear under the hairline.

What shampoos help against hair loss

It is quite difficult to get rid of the problem of hair loss using only shampoos that accelerate hair growth. To achieve positive dynamics, it is important to act comprehensively:

• make masks;
• Healthy food.

But if shampoo, masks and proper nutrition do not help against baldness, then you need to consult a trichologist. After all, alopecia is a disease that requires professional medical care.

Shampoo for colored hair

The peculiarity of shampoos for colored hair is that such detergents contain fewer aggressive components, and more caring and moisturizing ones. Dyeing negatively affects the acid-base balance of hair, especially bleaching. After such aggressive procedures, they need additional care. To prevent the pigment from being washed out longer, you must use mild sulfate-free detergents.

What is the best shampoo for colored hair? - after all, it should not only preserve color, but also have a restorative effect. A good detergent for colored hair should be sulfate-free and contain keratin, protein, oils, and vitamin complexes.

The following brands of shampoos are suitable for colored hair:

• Green Pharma - Pharma Blonde;

• Kerastase - Bain Chroma Rich;
• Echos Line S1;
• Evinal Placenta;
• Natura Siberica - “Protection and Shine”;
• Wella Pro Series - Color;
• Faberlic - Excellent Color Protection Shampoo.

Hair that has been dyed also needs additional nourishment - make keratin or oil masks once a week.

Choosing a tinted shampoo

To quickly and with minimal risk change your hair color, you can use a tinted shampoo. Such detergents have advantages over paints in that they do not last long and are easily washed off. With their help, you can temporarily brighten the natural color and renew pigmentation.

The difference between tinted shampoos and full-fledged coloring is that the tinting components they contain do not penetrate the hair structure, disrupting the water-alkaline balance, but only act as an enveloping film. Tinted shampoos come in different color shades.

1. For light brown hair, a light-colored detergent is suitable - it is better to buy them for blondes.
2. Tinted shampoo with the addition of dark pigment removes yellowness or light gray hair.
3. And for brunettes, as well as red-haired girls, such a detergent can have any shade, depending on the result that is planned to be obtained. For example, to create a golden shine, you need to use a palette designed for blond hair. And a fiery shade will be given by shampoo with a red tone or with a red pigment.
4. A tinted shampoo chosen to match your hair tone will help you make your hair color more expressive.

For highlighted hair, you need to be especially careful when choosing detergents that change color. After all, there are brands whose composition selectively enhances cold tones and removes yellowness.

The following brands of tinted shampoos are available on the market and have proven themselves:

• Concept - Blond Explosion Anti-yellow effect - to neutralize yellowness;
• Indola - Color Silver Shampoo - for cool blonde;
• Schwarzkopf BC Color Freeze Silver - silver;
• Parli Cosmetics - Blonde Le Core Professional series - for cool shades;
• Lisap Milano series Top Care Repair - Silver Care Shampoo - for gray and highlighted hair;
• Blonde Sexy Hair - shining blonde;
• L’Oreal Professionnel - Gray Shampoo - to neutralize yellowness;

• Faberlic Krasa series;
• Ollin Professional - Intense Profi Color Shampoo;
• Joanna - Soft Color Naturia;
• L’Oreal Professionnel Gloss Color series;
• Irida M Classic.

If the result is not satisfactory, you can quickly get rid of the resulting shade. To do this, you need to wash your hair several times.

Shampoos without sulfates and parabens

Many shampoos, especially inexpensive ones, add sulfates - petrochemical products that foam a lot. It is easier and cheaper for manufacturers to add them than expensive natural ingredients that have a limited shelf life. But, the disadvantage of the presence of sulfates is that they lift the upper cuticular layer and wash everything inside the hair, and not just the outside. Therefore, after various restorative procedures or long-term styling, hairdressers recommend that clients use sulfate-free shampoos so that the hair is gentle and the beneficial substances are not washed out. For frequent use, it is better not to use sulfate shampoos.

Parabens are preservatives that are added to cosmetics to extend shelf life. Their danger is that they, like sulfates, are toxic components that are widely used not only in cosmetology, but also for cleaning homes and cars. Sulfates and parabens tend to accumulate in the body and take a long time to be eliminated from it.

Today, manufacturers of shampoos and cosmetics are developing more and more safe products, replacing sulfates and parabens with higher quality natural ingredients and preservatives. But such analogues are more expensive.

You can choose a sulfate-free shampoo from many well-known brands. To do this, just pay attention to their composition. The most commonly used is Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS). Usually manufacturers write this on the label - “Without SLS and parabens.”

You can choose shampoos without sulfates and parabens from many brands:

• Nano Organic;
• Natura Siberica;
• Family de Olive;
• Kleona;
• Shampav;
• "The Kingdom of Fragrances";
• Kallos Lab 35;
• Kerarganic;
• Kaaral.

Children's shampoos must be chosen without sulfates and parabens.

Concluding the article, let us remind you that hair is a mirror of the body. In order for them to always have a healthy and attractive appearance, detergent alone is not enough - you also need to eat right, give up bad habits, and lead a healthy lifestyle. But a well-chosen shampoo will help maintain the beauty of your hair.

How to choose shampoo

Step one: cleansing

Caring for combination hair types begins with choosing a shampoo. Now many manufacturers produce products marked “for mixed type”. Owners of such hair are recommended to use either shampoos for all hair types.

What else should you pay attention to? Naturally, on the composition. It is desirable that the product contains marine proteins and calcium. These components perfectly restore the hair structure, strengthening it.

To give your hair volume and strength without weighing it down, use a gentle shampoo that contains placenta.
To gently cleanse your scalp without drying it out, pay attention to the pH of the shampoo - it should be neutral.

To reduce dry ends and oily roots, use a little trick. 30 minutes before washing, apply kefir or yogurt to the roots, and olive oil to the ends.

Mixed-type hair should be washed as it becomes dirty and use shampoo marked “suitable for frequent use.”

It is advisable to wash your hair once a week with special cleansing shampoos containing amino acids and vitamins. Especially if you often use styling products.

Step two: nutrition

As already mentioned, the ends of mixed hair types are dry, lifeless and split, which means they need intensive nutrition and hydration. Step back 5-7 centimeters from the roots and apply a nourishing oil-based product to the lengths and ends of your hair. Apply a mask for oily hair type to the roots.

As for balms and conditioners, they should also be applied away from the roots. This is done so as not to further weigh down the hair and avoid rapid contamination. The exception is light balms - they can be applied to the entire length.

For mixed hair types, a mask that can be easily prepared at home is suitable. To do this, the juice of one lemon is mixed with 2 tablespoons of aloe juice and 2 tablespoons of honey. Apply this mask to the entire length 30 minutes before washing your hair.

Step three: styling

Mixed hair type is not easy to style. Since such hair is often damaged along its length, you should not overuse blow-drying, styling with an iron or curling iron.

It is best to dry your hair naturally, and to avoid carelessness in styling, choose a comfortable and practical haircut that will not be difficult to care for. For mixed hair types, smooth contours are best, but feathers and ragged ends are a bad choice.

If you still need to use a hairdryer, then follow some rules. Firstly, let the air temperature be average and in no case high! Secondly, do not bring the hair dryer too close to your hair; the ideal distance would be 30-40 centimeters.

Choose styling products appropriately for mixed hair types. These can be low-fat fluids with vitamin complexes. Thermal water is also great - it will moisturize your hair well. You can apply a small amount of anti-split product to the ends. But only a little! But you can rub it into the roots.

It is better to avoid wax and hairspray; they will not bring any benefit and will not even visually improve the condition of the hair.
