all you should visit trichologist - the doctor, who knows it all about hair and
can help you deal with every problem connected with it. The specialist will
individually select the means for cure
and maintaining healthy hair during winter period, and we will give the overall
recommendations on hair care in at this time of the year.
Vitamins
for hair
Winter first
of all means avitaminosis, when the hair, nail and skin conditions get vividly
worse. Fruits, vegetables, sea fish (storehouse of acids Omega-3) and meat is
necessary to be included in the daily diet, although one should not forget
about supplements and additional vitamin-mineral complexes during this period. Lack
of vitamins of groups B, PP, C affects adversely on the hair looks, also it can
be said about lack of zinc, iron, selenium, magnesium, iodine and calcium. Today
you can buy special balanced complexes of vitamins and minerals especially for
hair. One of them is restoring complex - Revitalizing Hair Vitamins. j.f.

scalp and hair with nourishment and makes them grow and contributes to their
normal appearance.
Shampoos,
conditioners, balms for winter hair care
When you have
taken care of your hair from inside, you should think about daily care from the
outside.
Let's start
with cleansing. You should pick the shampoo which is especially for winter care
or which is for dry hair, because the heat and conditioners in the buildings make
the hair even drier. The best choice
for this is the shampoo for dry and sensitive hair Bain Satin 2 (for very dry
hair use Bain Satin 3) from Kerastase Nutritive (Spain), which contains complex
of glycerol, protein and lipids, and also it has the unique component Dosage
Gluco-Active-2. The shampoo gently cleanses, nourishes and moisturizes hair. Also
MARGARET JOSEFIN Shampoo is good with sea collagen, which regulates skin
condition. By the way, never wash your hair with hot water, make it cooler, and
also never go outside with damp hair - it ‘gets cold' very quickly on cold air
and it breaks its structure, and that is why even more fragility appears.
However, usage of hair dryer is not welcomed as well. In winter period you
should avoid the frequent usage of ironing rectifiers, hair dryers and
everything that affects hair and makes them even drier and thus harms them even
more.
Balms and
conditioners which are used in cold time of the year should possess a broad
spectrum of features. They should moisturize hair skin and affect the hair
structure from the roots, rod and cuticles. The means with vitamins B1, B6,
B12, microelements - sulfur, selenium, zinc, silicon, fruit acids and amino
acids, proteins and polymers deal with these tasks very well. There is a nice
remedy from Kerastase - protein milk which you should apply for several minutes
after washing your hair and then rinse it with warm water. Also you can use
conditioner for dry and broken hair from Shiseido prof, MARGARET JOSEFIN
Conditioner, Soy Milk Strengthening Conditioner от J.F. Lazartigue.
If your
hair became too dry and fragile, you can do as advised here: apply conditioner
and leave it on your hair for 10 to 20 minutes and wrap your head in polythene
or towel. This way the cure effect will increase several times more.
Means of
intensive care: masks, lotions, creams fibers for hair
For intensive
hair care you should do nourishing and rejuvenating hair masks several times
per week. The means described below are considered one of the best in the
industry for hair care during winter time. CARTHAME Gentle Hydro-nutritive Mask
от Rene Furterer (France) - moisturizing and nourishing mask, which has such
active components as vitamin В5, Kartam oil enriched with acids, complex
Cimentrio (vitamin F, phospholipids, glycolipids), glycine soya, microemulsion
wax, essential oils of orange. This mask restores lost elasticity of the hair
and makes them stronger, even in winter.
The
effective mean for very dry hair which is a necessity during cold periods, is
Deep action treatment with Carrot Oil from J.F. Lazartigue. It is therapeutic
nourishing cream with the carrot oil which should be applied once a week. The
cream might give the hair golden hue, that's why you shouldn't use it if you
have blond hair.
Even though
the trichologists say that loosing hair has nothing to do with winter time,
many women notice that in winter their hair reduce noticeably. You can explain
it by saying that it's stress, fall-winter depressions and avitaminosis which
comes with the first layer of snow. For cure of weakened hair and hair reducing
prevention you can use two-phase fitocosmetic system Hair Loss System box from
SOLARIA Hair Loss System (Italy). It is the set of ampoules which contain
healing lotion of two types: one of them «prepares» and another one is used as
therapeutic mean. The main component of this lotion is Capsicum (hot pepper)
which stimulates the blood circulation, fitoextracts (shen-zhen), glycoproteins
and hydro-glikosamminoglikans.
Hair
and skin care, its beauty should start with the right hat. Your fashionable
hat, cap, headscarf should be made only of natural material which doesn't disturb
the breathing of the skin and normal circulation of the scalp blood. If you
want to make blood circulatory better in winter time, it is recommended to do
massage of head skin with the help of brushes which are made of natural
