Tips for thin, dry, and brittle hair

Dry, brittle, and sparse hair is always a concern for many women today, especially when the post-COVID period has some potential to cause even more hair loss. Understanding this, ILLUME eMAG will tell you some of the best tips to help you maintain smooth, healthy hair.

For thin hair

1. Hair incubation with vitamin B and olive oil

Vitamin B5 plays an important part in the making of protein in hair. Therefore, vitamin B5 is considered a savior for thin, sparse hair. However, the disadvantage of vitamin B5 is that it’s quite dry when incubated on the hair. Thus, we suggest that you mix it with coconut oil or olive oil.

Ingredients

• 4-5 tablets of vitamin B5 (commonly sold at drugstores)

• 1 teaspoon of olive oil.

Instruction

• Instead of grinding the vitamin dry, you should soften it with water first, then do it, or you can let it dissolve.

• Then add the olive oil and stir. The mixture is oily, so it is OK if it is not completely soluble.

• Use it 1-2 times a week and you will see the change.

2. Spray your hair with rosemary water

Rosemary is an herb native to the Mediterranean. It is proven to contain 2% minoxidil, a substance that promotes hair growth and strengthens hair.

This herb is loved and used by many western beauty bloggers. You can buy the hair growth product lines extracted from rosemary. Then add 4-5 drops to your shampoo and wash your hair as usual. Doing this 2-3 times a week will help your hair start to grow. Here is another method that is less costly.

Ingredients

• 5 sprigs of fresh rosemary.

• 5 bowls of water.

• spray bottle.

Instruction

• Heat rosemary with water over medium heat until boiling.

• Keep the heat on for another 15 minutes, then turn off the heat.

• Let the water cool for another 25-30 minutes.

• At this time, the water will turn darker and red, then pour it into the spray bottle.

• Spray on the hair roots and scalp and then gently massage, comb and let dry.

• Spray twice a day, morning and night, and persist for a long time for results.

3. Incubate hair with rice water

Rice water contains a variety of vitamins B5 and B1, and amino acids, as mentioned, Vitamin B1 and B5 will support the growth of hair follicles. In addition, rice water also contains inositol, which is very good for stimulating hair growth and making hair strong.

Ingredients

• Prepare water to wash the rice, keep the water after washing the rice for the second time.

Instruction

• Dilute the rice water with warm water in a ratio of 1:2.

• Apply rice water evenly on hair, incubate for 5-10 minutes, and then rinse with water.

• Use it 2-3 times a week, after a few weeks, you will see the difference.

For dry, brittle hair

1. Change shampoo and conditioner.

Shampoos and conditioners are things that directly affect your hair. So, choosing the right shampoo and conditioner will contribute significantly to improving hair quality. You should look for natural, environmentally friendly shampoos and conditioners that protect your hair well. In addition, limiting your shampoo routine in a week will minimize damage to the hair and limit breakage. You should only wash your hair 1-2 times a week. It sounds dirty, but once you have done it, you will see how shiny and healthy your hair is.

2. Add oils to your hair care routine.

Oils such as jojoba oil, almond oil, olive oil, etc. have a noticeable effect on moisturizing the hair, as well as an amazing ability to restore damaged hair. Furthermore, they are affordable and easy to find. You should take a sufficient amount of oil (too much of anything is never good), apply it to the whole body down to the tip of the hair, incubate it for 30 minutes, and then wash your hair as usual. Your hair will clearly improve from doing this once a week.

3. Cherish your hair.

Many of you have habits such as using heat frequently, rubbing your hair too hard, brushing your hair too often, etc. Those can lead to breakage and dryness, and that’s something no one wants. In addition to pampering the outside, you should also take care of your hair from the inside. A relaxing mind and proper nutrition will make your hair stronger.
