Beautiful and well-groomed hair is the dream of every girl, but very often there are many problems with them. Those who have to wash them often suffer the most. This is due to the fact that the hair gets dirty quickly. It seems that only in the morning the girl washed her curls, and in the evening or the next morning they look untidy and dirty. In this article, we will find out why the hair at the roots gets dirty very quickly and what are the ways to solve this problem.
Hair Type
Of course, the degree of contamination primarily depends on the type. Dry curls get dirty very slowly and require washing no more than once every 5 days. With oily hair, the situation is completely different. They have to be washed every day, although this does not solve the problem. There is also a combined type. In this case, the hair at the roots quickly gets dirty, but the tips can be normal or even dry. Based on the above, we can conclude that frequent pollution is inherent only in oily and combination hair types.
How pollution occurs
In order to cope with this or that problem, first of all it is necessary to know its etiology. If the reason lies in excessive fat content, then everything seems simple here. However, in reality, everything is completely different. Despite the fact that it is customary to talk about the type of hair, in fact, the scalp still plays a decisive role. It contains the sebaceous glands. Excessive production of subcutaneous fat leads to the fact that the hair quickly gets dirty. Interestingly, the scalp and face are not always of the same type. Often there are girls with dry skin, but with oily hair type and vice versa.
One way or another, many factors influence the production of subcutaneous fat. These include: genetic predisposition, diet, hormonal background and many other factors. Let's talk about them in more detail.
Diet
What should I do if my hair gets dirty quickly? This question worries many women. First of all, you need to review your diet. If the hair is already prone to excessive oiliness, too high-calorie foods, saturated with many lipids, can only aggravate the situation. It is necessary to reduce the amount of fatty foods and eat as many vegetables and fruits as possible. In addition, the drinks you drink also affect the he alth of the curls. If your hair gets dirty quickly, try cutting back on coffee and alcohol. Instead, drink as much regular purified water as possible.
Shampoo selection
Every girl has many different meanshair care products, but do any of them benefit curls? The fact is that each shampoo is designed for a specific type of hair. For dry ones, a huge amount of oils are added to the composition to ensure their nutrition. If after using this or that shampoo the hair quickly gets dirty, then this means that it must be discarded.
Sometimes it also happens that the curl care product says that it is for normal or oily hair, but the composition, nevertheless, contains components that increase the production of sebum by the sebaceous glands. What manufacturers write on shampoo packaging is not always true. Therefore, if something in such a tool worries you, it is better to refuse it.
Try to buy shampoos for oily hair types. In many pharmacies, you can also find special remedies, they not only clean the curls from dirt, but also treat the scalp. Of course, you should give preference to shampoos that contain only natural ingredients. Silicones and other similar ingredients can weigh hair down and make it look messy and unkempt.
Masks and hair balms
Not only shampoos, but also other hair care products can affect the functioning of the sebaceous glands. Owners of oily curls should be very careful when using hair masks. This tool, as a rule, contains a lot of fat. If, nevertheless, you cannot do without it, then you should know some tricks. The mask should only be appliedon the ends of the hair, avoiding contact with the roots. In this case, after using it, the curls will look alive and he althy, and the roots at the same time will not get dirty so quickly.
As for the hair balm, then, of course, you should choose a product for the oily type. The composition of such a product will contain components that dry the scalp.
Combing hair
Who doesn't love brushing their favorite locks? Of course, all girls do this all the time. But there must be a measure in everything. Why does hair get dirty quickly? What to do? The whole reason may lie precisely in the frequent combing and touching the hair. With such actions, the fat secreted by the sebaceous glands, the girl herself distributes along the entire length of the hair.
This contributes to their rapid contamination. For combing it is necessary to use wooden combs and do not do this too often. If the curls get tangled very quickly or the weather is bad outside, then in this case it is better to tie them in a ponytail or braid a wonderful braid.
Proper shampooing
It would seem that it could be easier than washing your curls. But in reality, everything is not so simple, especially if the hair began to get dirty quickly. We have previously talked about the need to carefully choose hair care products, and now we will learn how to use them correctly. It is customary to wash oily hair twice, especially if you use a medicated shampoo. The first time is necessary in order to wash off the accumulated fat, dust and dirt from the curls. ToUnfortunately, while all this is on the hair, the therapeutic components of the shampoo will not be able to penetrate deep into the hair. The second stage - when the hair is already clean, re-applying shampoo. Avoid rubbing your scalp too much as doing so will only increase sebum production.
Also, watch the water temperature carefully. It shouldn't be too hot. The cooler it is, the better. This is also explained by the fact that hot water increases blood flow to the brain, and, accordingly, increases the amount of subcutaneous fat. If you use a mask or conditioner after shampooing, make sure you rinse well.
Despite the fact that oily hair already the next morning after washing is not quite neat, try to wash them as little as possible. The thing is that any remedy for curls damages the protective film located on the surface of the dermis. It also irritates the scalp. Frequent washing will only contribute to even more sebum production. There are some tricks that will help you keep your hair clean for as long as possible.
