Once on our site I already published my hair story, all my experiments with color, talked about haircuts. It turned out to be short, but quite clearly illustrated the fact that I, like most girls, did not avoid finding myself and choosing a comfortable image for me.

This time, I decided not to focus on each individual experiment, no longer dwell on color solutions, the selection of cosmetics, a detailed analysis of the whole variety of products that I had to use over many years of caring for my hair. I would like to focus readers' attention on a specific goal for all of us - ACHIEVING LENGTH!

This post is about what results I have achieved and what knowledge and principles I have acquired.

I will not show you photos of huge deposits of cosmetics (I do not have them). In my story there will be no emphasis on all the manipulations with hair in my life (the format of the competition is somewhat different), but there will be visual photos, a list of the main points and difficulties that I faced, deciding to move in the chosen direction and the result.

What is the result?

For me, the result is, first of all, knowledge. This is information acquired in a specific way, based on experience, which allows you to expand your capabilities - the principles of hair care. And also, in this context, the result is the result of the work done to achieve the initial goal - beautiful, long hair.

Therefore, I will reduce the whole point of this post precisely to demonstrating the result of my actions and a detailed analysis of the methods that I was guided by.

I repeat, I have made a lot of experiments with hair in my life! There were haircuts and rather short ones that did not cover the ears. My hair remembers the flow of dyes, including the long-suffering blond beloved by young girls.
Hair is remembered by everything: both the good times and the difficulties of recovering almost from the ashes.
But, perhaps, their most deplorable state was not even being in a blonde. The true failure in my hair history is a year of trying to break out of the dark herbal color. Later I repeated them, but more deliberately and with more knowledge. However, the first pancake turned out to be lumpy!

In this photo, dark hair after many years of henna and basma was repeatedly lightened, and then ineptly toned. Thus, initially I tried to make them lighter, and then mask the unsightly green tint. Ultimately, I was faced with the fact that the hair began to break and fall off in whole strands.

It is quite expected that the hair lost its shine, elasticity, softness and mobility, and to the touch it resembled a tough artificial fiber. And the most offensive thing is that I did not become lighter, did not acquire a beautiful and even shade. The hair remained rather dark, it was irretrievably damaged, broke from simple combing and acquired a persistent, almost non-toned green tint. By the way, it was very distinct and treacherously emphasized at the slightest change in the ambient lighting.

Of course, I do not count my hair care from some iconic numbers and hair conditions. Because my hair looked pretty decent before this deplorable experiment. I started dyeing them with herbs from about 2002, having already grown a decent length and 25 times after playing enough with haircuts and color.
But it was in 2012 that I again said goodbye to long hair below the shoulder blades. They just started to fall off.

Whenever I walked past the mirror, I got upset and mentally scolded myself. First - for inconstancy and a spontaneous desire to look “somehow different”, apparently better than it is. Then - for the lack of logic and consistency in actions. What "wanted and needed right now!" - It's clear. But I don’t undertake to build a house or do a complex operation! I don’t have the slightest knowledge or skills!

This is how the understanding came that you need at least a brief analysis of your own data, capabilities and means. Little by little I began to figure it out. First off, what is my hair and scalp like? What type are they and in what condition are they?

My hair:
Thin, straight, medium density (OC about 9-10 cm), low porous, Light blond (UGT about 8).
Scalp:
Bold type.
Hair condition: clarified, colored, prone to brittleness, dry, with acquired porosity.

It was from these data that I began to build on, forming my departure. Of course, it didn't line up instantly. There was no clear plan of action that would guide me for several years. I, like many others, have tried a lot of approaches and remedies on my hair. I spent a considerable amount, and even more time and work, before finally building a detailed scheme and principles thanks to which my main goal - to have long, well-groomed hair - was realized.

In this post, I deliberately will not consider the topic of the general health of the body and the problem of hair loss, the reasons, the necessary measures accompanying them, visits to a specialist, consultations and drug therapy. I was going through this important period, but it is so ambitious in terms of the details of the discussion and at the same time for each woman is absolutely individual, requiring the participation of a competent doctor, or even several! So I would have to create a separate article. But if you think about it, I am not a doctor. And I don't think it's right to write it.

So, relying on my own natural data, the experience gained in using various kinds of cosmetics and based on the state in which my hair was, what conclusions did I draw?

Fine hair is fragile and vulnerable hair!

They are very soft, almost like a child's, they can be easily damaged by frequent aggressive staining and unscrupulous care. If I want to have long hair, I will have to take special care of it now. After all, my hair requires careful handling.
As a rule, due to the structure of thin hair and, if it is associated with a lack of noticeable density, fragility along the length leads to a rapid and strong thinning, thinning of the cut. Simply - the ends split and break, not allowing loose hair to have a neat, well-groomed look. At the same time, there is a monthly increase, but it is not fixed, as the ends continue to break.

Aggressive staining, frequent styling (not only thermal, but also with elements of tight weaving, fleece), changing the image over and over again only aggravate the situation. As a result, I have not seen long hair. They stayed in dreams.

To grow long thin hair, it took me several years and an understanding of the need to follow special care rules:

1. Hair needs to be cut!

It's corny. To do without haircuts at all while growing long hair will not work. But how to cut? Thin hair may well look thicker and more voluminous if not thinned or thinned to length. Graduated, stepped haircuts are not suitable for such hair. I used to love the Ladder very much and had my hair cut once every six months. During this time, the ends of the hair had time to deteriorate. But an even or semicircular cut looks neater, more well-groomed and thicker.
And most importantly, it is more durable, thinns more slowly and avoids increased cross-section and fragility. Therefore, if your goal is to cut your hair less often (now I cut my hair once a year), choose the right shape for your hair, which will allow you to maintain its quality, and not endlessly adjust the hairstyle. How to cut: scissors, clippers, pyrophoresis? It is not so important if the tool is of high quality and well sharpened.
However, it should be remembered that the longer the hair, the less voluminous, in principle, it looks.

2. Competent hair coloring!

Paradoxically, but for thin hair, coloring can not only harm, but also significantly help. Naturally, subject to technology compliance and competent protection from possible damage.
Coloring makes overly soft fine hair moderately coarse, oily hair dries and makes it more manageable. They fit the hair better, look more magnificent. The only wish is a confident choice of dye. Now there is a huge variety! In the days of my youth, he was not.
When deciding to dye your hair, study the issue and the range of products. Give preference to consumables of professional brands. Believe me, this is a smart investment.
Professional segment paints have balanced formulas, smaller pigment molecules and guarantee more predictable results. If your choice turned out to be in favor of herbal dyes, show no less attention to the topic. Quality raw materials and basic knowledge are half the battle!

3. Using natural herbs in complex care!

The longer the hair, the higher the risk of damage. Herbs are a good help in strengthening and stimulating blood circulation in the scalp.

I use a whole range of titles. These are mainly traditional lawsonia (henna) and indigofer (basma or indigo), which not only color, but also protect the hair shaft from brittleness, tightening the cuticular layer. This is due to the tanning process. Tanning is a complex chemical process. Its whole meaning boils down to the fact that tannins bind to the active protein groups of the hair and dermis and form new strong bonds in their structure. In the course of a stepwise chemical process, this new structure is consolidated and, as a result, the strength of the hair increases, resistance to moisture, ultraviolet light, the action of aggressive enzyme complexes, high temperatures, and various chemical reagents. In other words, the hair becomes much more durable and strong.

Herbs such as: cassia, ziziphus, amla, brahmi, bringaraj, ashwagandha, tulsi, manjishta, nim, shikakai, kapoor kachli, etc. Ayurvedic formulations work well for strengthening hair, adding volume and stimulating blood flow as a warm mask. Nevertheless, they do not carry a noticeable coloring and tanning properties and a vivid visual component, which traditional henna and basma are not capable of giving. But in the complex of measures, their action is highly justified. As a fact, the hair becomes more luxuriant, the number of newly growing, new hairs all over the head increases.

4. The use of natural oils to nourish the hair!

This item is an effective part of a comprehensive program. Oils have helped me more than once to bring damaged hair into a divine look, when it was simply not possible to comb it because of fragility. In this case, I am not belittling the importance of cortical cosmetics, not at all! But oils with penetrating properties (for example, olive, coconut, avocado) can significantly improve the situation, affecting the condition of the hair for the better.

My favorite oils to this day are: shea (shea), coconut, olive, babassu, lard, avocado and sweet almond oil. Do not rush to discard oils from general hair care as a relic of the unnecessary past! If the oil dries, it just doesn't suit your hair and it's worth working hard to find yours.

5. Individual selection of hair cosmetics!

The more porous your hair, the fuller and thicker it looks. It is not at all necessary that they are truly thick.

For thin, light and soft hair, the issue of volume always remains relevant. We want beautiful, thick hair, often smooth or slightly wavy, shiny and at the same time not devoid of spectacular volume.
However, as the length increases, the volume disappears. And if you also choose cosmetics with nutritious, restorative properties, this will invariably lead to heavier hair.
The conclusion is simple - to focus on the needs of the hair and scalp in real time, do not forget to alternate nutrition with hydration and protection.

The more nutritious the product, the more pronounced the smoothing, thickening, the so-called "WOW!" - effect.

The product of moisturizing action does not give the hair a visual gloss and heaviness, on the contrary, it is able to tactilely lighten the canvas, but gives the hair mobility, softness and elasticity.
It is important to remember that colored and damaged hair needs all the "3 Whales of Care". These are nutrition (autumn-winter), moisture (especially in summer) and protection (almost all year round).

In this aspect, I consider the use of indelible sprays, heat protection creams for styling and silicone serums, ampoules, which, immediately after a haircut, are able to take excellent care of the cut quality, protect from dryness, sectioning and fragility, is very important. They also often contain UV filters.
Wanting to have long hair, we forget that it is more fragile, vulnerable and delicate. Closer to the tips, they lack nutrition and moisture, they rather lose pigment, become thinner, brighter, split more easily.

For example, in my purely cosmetic care, there are 4 steps: Shampoo, mask conditioner, indelible.

Of these, I pay special attention to the mask and indelible protection step.
I can use a completely ordinary shampoo, although I prefer low alkaline, with moisturizing ingredients.

Regarding the segment of the cosmetics used, I do not expose myself to a clear framework. In my use there was a mass market and professional products. In my opinion, you need to use something that gives good results and you are able to evaluate them, and not just amuse your vanity with a beautiful jar for a certain amount. If you see and feel the difference in the condition and appearance of your hair and skin, then this tool works, no matter how much it costs - 100 rubles or 1000.

6. An important criterion for success in hair care is a competent choice of accessories comb!

It may be a completely unbranded brush or a comb from a nearby supermarket. But if it does not cling, does not tug or tear your hair, then, unambiguously, it will allow you to preserve and increase their quality, and hence the length.

Separately, I single out the topic of combing wet hair - everyone's personal business. I do not want to give up this manipulation. But I prefer to make the process as safe as possible by choosing a high-quality tool, the presence of a spray-conditioner and the leisurely movement: slowly, gradually, carefully and in the direction from the tips to the root zone.

I rarely buy accessories. There used to be much more of them. But over time, I gradually gave away everything that seemed attractive, but in practice it was completely inconvenient and devoid of functionality. We can say that I practically stopped paying attention to them in relation to my hair and left it only to decorate the head of my eldest daughter.

Of the accessories, I left rubber bands-springs (not soiled, convenient, easy to care for, just wash) and soft seamless elastic bands made of fabric. For thin hair, this is an excellent option.

Metal decorative hairpins with pebbles at one time lived with me in huge quantities, until I noticed that my hair breaks, splits from the middle and looks dull. Now these hairpins have become safer and contain protective heat shrinkage on their mounts, but I have almost irrevocably lost interest in them.

The crab is my favorite and most powerful thing. Home dweller and a life-saving hairpin. I make masks with him, take a shower, wear it with relief when I want to take care of my hair, because it is rubbed against my clothes every day.

Soft fabric Sophista - also from the category of "how to take a break from hair and make them less vulnerable to wind, static and other external factors." As a bonus, it forms chic curls (albeit short-lived).

7. Procedure for washing your hair!

Over the years, I have come to a simple conclusion - hair should be combed well before washing! Any: short, medium, long, straight, curly, natural or dyed. This will make them less confused. Softly, slowly.
Water for washing hair and scalp should not be hot!
Hair is a protein that easily changes its structure under the influence of aggressive factors.
The recommended water temperature for shampooing is no higher than 50 degrees. I myself usually set the mixer so that the water is pleasantly cool or slightly warm. You can't wash cold. So it won't take long to catch a cold.

To wash your hair and scalp, it is important to use cosmetics correctly selected for this purpose!
We take into account several factors at once: the type of scalp, the natural type and condition of the hair at a given time (these are different concepts), even the season.

In its pure, concentrated form, the shampoo is not applied to the skin and hair.
It has an alkaline nature, while our skin is slightly acidic. Shampoo should be either applied to the palm of your hand and rubbed a little before use, or diluted in a separate container.
Too much shampoo is not required for a complete wash.

Better to repeat if necessary than rinsing off copious head of foam.
Gently massage the scalp, lathering the shampoo on the root zone of the hair. Further, if necessary, we pass the foam along the main length. I try not to actively rub in the composition, otherwise it will not be able to wash off completely. This can lead to unnecessary scalp irritation: dandruff, itching, redness and a rapid loss of freshness and shine in hair.

Thoroughly rinse the hair from the shampoo with warm water. We are not in a hurry! Gently squeeze excess water out of hair and apply balm / conditioner / mask. We maintain the required exposure time. Wash off with pleasantly cool water.

At the end of the water procedure, wrap the hair with a light cotton or terry towel and leave it for a few minutes, allowing the hair to get rid of excess moisture. Freeing damp hair from the towel. We carefully separate them with our hands. Apply a protective agent, distribute and gradually comb. Haste, again, to nothing!
Let your hair dry naturally or style with a hairdryer.

8. Hairstyles!

I draw your attention to the fact that hairstyles with elements of voluminous weaving and light curls are a good alternative to traumatic bouffants and frequent thermal curling for thin hair.
Loose braids, shells, slight negligence visually add density, especially if you use dry shampoo, foam or other fixative to perform them.

Thick bangs, dark shades, smooth, finished cuts also add weight to a hairstyle of fine hair. However, they are also able to easily overload the image, adding not only density, but also age! Focus on the look as a whole, taking into account your eye color, skin tone, favorite color scheme of clothes and wardrobe items.

And yet, unnecessarily, I do not let my hair down.

"What, then, is tsimus?" - you ask - "long hair is needed to decorate and wear it loose!"

I partially agree. But only in part, because in my youth I did just that. And my hair remained shoulder-blade length.

I hardly did my hair, not even a banal ponytail. But external factors are unavoidable: wind, friction on clothes, dry indoor air, sun, sea water, hard water of city water pipes, even a regular comb - smoothly wear out our hair and spoil its appearance.
Over time, I came to the conclusion that the beauty of hair is, first of all, their quality, not length. Let it be so desired by us.

If you can keep the quality, there will be no problems with the length! Learn to weave beautiful braids, collect hair in a neat hairstyle. After all, it is no less beautiful, and often protects hair better from numerous and daily damages!

And I also love loose hair. But now I wear them on occasion. For example, today. But it is no longer a shame to dissolve them!

It's time to show comparative collages “It was / It was”!

These are all my keys from the door to beautiful long hair. The difference in the photo is almost 6 years! No, not 6 difficult years of growing! Throughout this journey, I cut a bob a couple of times, changed hair shades and radically revised cosmetic care. I rushed from organics to silicones, succumbed to fashion trends, fell out and again adjusted the shape of my hair.

I hope that my mistakes and advice will be useful to you! After all, having this experience in hand, it is possible to achieve success 2 times faster!
Good luck! Do not deviate from the chosen path!

Every girl periodically wonders how to grow thick hair, but not all girls have the patience to wait for a noticeable result. And it can appear if you do not cut your hair for at least 10 months.

Nutrition of roots in the salon and at home

Healthy, thick and shiny hair is a matter of pride for women. However, nature has not endowed everyone with luxurious hair. If your hair is thin, dull and weak, you should not say goodbye to the dream of growing long natural curls and resort to an expensive hair extension procedure. It is possible to grow your own thick hair, but for this you need to choose a suitable complex for their care and restoration.

Understanding the structure of the hair is necessary in order to find out which components need additional nutrition and special care.

The visible part of the hair is called the shaft., which has no nerve endings and does not require blood supply. The core of the core is keratin, a protein synthesized from amino acid compounds. Its share is about eighty percent of the rod, then about fifteen percent is water, and about five percent is divided between linids and pigment.

The hidden (subcutaneous) part of the hair is called the bulb or root. It is located in a depression called a follicle. It is here that the active process of cell division takes place, due to which hair growth occurs. The type of hair depends on the follicle. If it is round in shape, then the hair will be straight, if it is oval, then the hair begins to curl a little, and if the follicle is kidney-shaped, then the hair will be curly.

It is the follicle that provides nutrition to the hair, due to the existing so-called hair papilla, which has blood vessels and delivers the necessary substances from the blood to the hair roots. Therefore, it is impossible to damage the hair follicle, because it is he who plays a very important role in hair regrowth, and if the hair papilla is damaged, the growth of new hair becomes impossible.

Human hair has a three-layer structure.

• The first layer is the cuticle. It is the outer layer of thin, shingle-like keratin scales. It is the condition of these scales that determines the appearance of the hair. If they fit snugly, the hair will be shiny and soft. If the scales are damaged, then the hair becomes dull and brittle.
• Under the hair cuticle is the next layer - the cortex. It is a crustal substance that forms the basis of the hair shaft, consisting of keratin fibers and melanin, which determines the natural color of the hair. Therefore, it is the cortex that determines the thickness of the hair. And when dyeing hair, the pigment, penetrating through the cuticle scales, acts on the cortex and the color changes.
• Medulla is the last layer in the center of the hair and consists of the medulla. Its purpose is unknown. It is assumed that due to the air cavities, the medulla provides thermal conductivity of the hair.

It is also necessary to mention the sebaceous glands of the scalp... They are necessary for secretion, which protects the hair from negative environmental factors, as well as for retaining moisture and maintaining the elasticity of the hair. When the glands secrete a secret too actively, the hair will be oily, and with a lack of secretion, on the contrary, dry.

Factors affecting the change in hair structure

1. Any cosmetic manipulations using chemical compositions: coloring, toning, washing, lightening, curling, straightening, etc.
2. Styling your hair frequently using a hair dryer, curling iron, curling iron or iron.
3. Internal factors - unhealthy diet, strict diets, lack of vitamins and fluids in the body, physical inactivity, bad habits, frequent stress.
4. Disrupted metabolism.
5. Impaired blood circulation to the scalp
6. Pregnancy and the postpartum period.

How to grow thick hair

To obtain the result in the form of healthy and thick hair, it is necessary to adjust the internal factors related to the lifestyle, as well as to take a set of measures aimed at eliminating the negative aspects that interfere with hair growth, and at the selection of the correct hair care.

Correction of internal factors to ensure the hair growth process implies:

• Proper nutrition. To provide the hair follicles with the necessary nutrients, these substances must be present in the body. Therefore, first of all, you need to pay attention to your diet. The basis of the diet should be low-fat meats, sea fish, vegetables and fruits, herbs, cottage cheese and nuts.
• Taking vitamins. To fill the hair with vitality and their good growth, it is necessary to take vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, iron, B vitamins. There are special vitamin complexes that stimulate hair growth (Perfectil, Aurita, Selencin, Expert hair "and others). Some forms of release involve the direct rubbing of components that improve hair growth into the hair roots (nicotinic acid, esvicin, etc.).
• Sports activities. Regular training also has an effective effect on hair growth by improving blood circulation and lymph flow in the scalp area.
• Drinking fluids. Water is one of the constituents of the hair structure, therefore it is necessary to maintain an optimal water balance by drinking at least eight glasses of drinking water a day.
• Stable psychological and emotional state. It is necessary to reduce stressful situations and negative nervous conditions, since during such periods the body releases hormones that affect hair loss.

There are some of the most common mistakes that prevent you from growing to the desired length and making your hair healthy and shiny:

• Frequent staining. Chemical effects have the greatest effect on the deterioration of the hair growth process and the increase in hair breakage. When dyeing your hair, you should not skimp on the professionalism of the master and paint. Currently, there are ammonia-free dyes (for example, oil-based) that do not cause significant damage to hair and even take care of them. Also, instead of dyeing in one tone, you should switch to more complex dyeing techniques. They allow you to make root growth invisible, as a result of which there is no need for monthly staining. Typically, using a tinted shampoo will be sufficient to maintain color no more than once a week.
• Permanent styling with heating devices. Curling irons, hair dryers and tongs negatively affect the hair structure, damaging it, making the hair dry, weak and lifeless. Therefore, to grow thick hair, it is necessary to minimize drying and styling with these tools.
• Incorrectly organized shampooing process. It is imperative to give up daily shampooing, as this constantly flushes out the skin secretion, which protects the scalp and provides nourishment to the hair roots. The most optimal in case of rapid hair contamination is considered to be washing the hair no more than once every three days.

It is also necessary to wash your hair with cool water only to close the hair cuticle. The low water temperature makes the hair smoother and shinier.

For shampooing, it is better to use only sulfate-free shampoos, which are sold only in specialized stores. These shampoos do not dry out the hair, maintain an optimal balance of oiliness of the scalp, and therefore, the issue of frequent washing will disappear by itself. After shampooing, use a balm or hair conditioner. They help to close the keratin scales, leaving hair smooth and silky, making it easier to comb and style hair.

• Refusal of additional hair care. To grow thick and healthy curls, it is imperative to use special cosmetics aimed at strengthening and stimulating hair growth (serums, masks, fillers, etc.). These products will help to provide the necessary level of moisture and nourishment of the hair, while reducing the level of negative influence of external factors (ultraviolet radiation, exhaust gases, heating devices).

Also, do not ignore homemade hair care recipes. Home treatments are more natural and economical and can be done in your spare time.

Home methods for growing thick hair

One of the most effective ways to grow curls of the desired length is head massage.

After the procedure, it is better to refrain from washing your hair. It is desirable to carry it out once every two to three days.

Professional salon treatments

Beauty salons also offer special treatments to stimulate hair growth, nutrition and health.

• Scalp mesotherapy. During the procedure, injections of nutrients are injected under the skin, which go directly to the follicle. The course usually consists of ten procedures. Mesotherapy is considered the most effective method. The disadvantages include the high cost and pain of the procedure itself.
• Application of professional nutritional formulations followed by hair treatment with a laser or ultraviolet comb. The use of such combs allows the active substances to be embedded deeply into the hair structure. After three procedures, you can see the effect. Without the use of special combs, a month-long course of grooming procedures would be required to achieve the same effect.
• Exposure to microcurrents on the scalp. The procedure is carried out using the Darsonval apparatus. Microcurrent stimulation of hair follicles contributes not only to the growth of the hair shaft, but also helps to solve other problems of the scalp and hair epidermis.
