In order to cure frizzy hair, it is important to know the cause first.There are three causes of glittering: hair damage, scalp damage, and gray hair.

By preventing and taking measures against these, you can reduce the glitter, glitter, and glare of your hair.

This article is aimed at people who:Please take a look to the end.

⒈ Cause of shiny hair

There are XNUMX reasons why your hair shines. "Hair damage", "Scalp damage" and "White hair".I will explain these details later.

Color faded due to hair damage

One of the reasons why hair shines is because the dyed hair has lost its color.
When dyeing with hair color, the cuticle is forcibly pried open and deformed.

Then, a dyeing agent is injected into it to give it color.The point here is that once the cuticle is opened, it will never return to its original state.

The reason why the color does not fade for about two months despite the fact that the cuticle is open is that the medicine injected inside is closely linked by a chemical reaction.

However, with the passage of time, various stimuli such as ultraviolet rays, heat, shampoo, etc., will reduce the bonding strength of the "dye agent".This allows the pigment to gradually fall out through the gaps in the open cuticle.

And when the pigment falls out, a cavity is created inside the hair, and air enters.At this time, the light is diffusely reflected in this air, and it looks like it's shining.In some cases, the hair color may simply fade and the hair may appear shiny.

"Diffuse reflection of the air that entered the cavity" "Hair with a different color".Here are some of the reasons why your hair looks shiny.

2. Due to pain in the scalp, hair with a different color has grown

The second reason why hair shines is because damaged hair cells in the scalp cause hair with a different color.Newly grown yellow or orange colored hair reflects and shines when light hits it.

Human hair is composed of two types of melanin pigments (coloring components).

The first is eumelanin (there are two types of eumelanin) that colors the hair black or reddish brown.The second is pheomelanin (one type of fomelanin) that colors the hair yellowish red.

If you have a high ratio of eumelanin, which colors black like Japanese people, your hair will be dyed black.On the other hand, if the ratio of eumelanin, which colors reddish brown, and pheomelanin, which colors yellowish red, are high like in Westerners, the hair will be dyed yellowish red or gold.If the scalp is damaged by repeated perms or coloring, or if the cells of the scalp are damaged by stress or smoking, the coloring function of the hair will decrease.

Changes in the coloring function affect the color of newly grown hair.

As a result, people who originally had black hair will grow new hair in bright colors such as reddish brown and brown.The hair that has become brighter in color reflects the sunlight and the light of the light bulb, and the hair may look shiny.

white hair is growing

The third cause of shiny hair is that some of the hair has turned gray.

White hair is transparent.When transparent white hair hits sunlight or light from a light bulb, the light that hits it will be reflected irregularly.This will make your gray hair look shiny.

3. How to fix if your hair is sparkling

 

There are two ways to cure glittering hair: “care for your hair” and “care for your scalp”.

In this chapter, we will introduce three ways to care for your hair and scalp.

In addition, if you have gray hair, use hair dye or hair dye to color the gray hair and suppress it.If you want to prevent and improve gray hair in the long term, please see the article on how to prevent and improve gray hair on this site.

Countermeasure XNUMX: Use a shampoo that does not irritate the scalp

Shampoos that do not irritate the scalp include shampoos that do not contain sulfate-based (petroleum-based) surfactants.By avoiding such shampoos, you can reduce damage to your hair.

The reason to avoid it is that while surfactants such as sodium laureth sulfate and ammonium laureth sulfate have strong detergency, they are also highly irritating to the scalp.

Of course, as long as such products are on the market, a certain level of safety is guaranteed.

Countermeasure XNUMX: Use a shampoo that cares for your hair and scalp

In order to keep the hair in a healthy state, amino acid shampoo is recommended.

This is because amino acid-based shampoos that contain amino acid-based cleaning ingredients are less irritating to the hair and scalp.Here's why:

⒈Because amino acids are weakly acidic like hair and scalp
⒉ Because amino acids have a repair effect on hair
⒊Amino acids are highly moisturizing ingredients

On the other hand, products that contain preservatives such as BHT and hydroxytoluene are highly irritating to the scalp and can easily damage hair, so be careful.

Solution XNUMX: Use a treatment that repairs your hair

Use a treatment that contains ingredients such as PPT and Pellicer.

This is because it contains PPT and Pellicer, which are ingredients that repair and moisturize the hair. PPT stands for "Protein Hydrolysate", and it has the effect of supplementing the lost protein.

The main component of hair is protein, and protein deficiency can damage hair in various ways.Therefore, treatments containing PPT ingredients that supply protein are gentle on the hair.

 

Pellicer has the effect of firmly penetrating to the inside of the hair and giving the hair firmness and elasticity.

[Hair care functions and effects of “Pellicer”]
<XNUMX> Penetrates into the hair in a short time of about XNUMX minute.
<XNUMX> It restores the strength and moisture content of the hair to a healthy state, restores the thickness of the hair that has become thin due to damage, and gives the hair firmness and resilience.

Therefore, use treatments that include PPT or Pellicer as part of your hair care regimen.

A leave-in treatment is also effective.This is to prevent damage from the heat of the dryer.

4. Prevention method to prevent hair from glittering

There are two ways to prevent your hair from getting shiny.
⒈Take care according to the characteristics of the color
⒉ Proper towel drying
By practicing these things, you can make your hair less damaged.

Preventive method XNUMX: Care according to the characteristics of the color

Coloring includes warm colors (pink, red, orange, etc.) and cool colors (blue, green, etc.).

Warm colors are vulnerable to hot water and irritation, so pigments tend to come off easily with hot water and shampoo.The reason for this is that the particles of the dye used to dye the hair are small and the fixing power inside the hair is weak.

Therefore, avoid washing with hot water and wash with lukewarm water.Also, avoid using harsh shampoos.

Cool colors are vulnerable to the heat and UV rays of hair dryers and curling irons, so the pigment tends to come off easily due to the use of hair dryers and hair irons and UV rays.

The reason for this is that the grains of the dye used to dye the hair are large, and the grains do not penetrate deep into the hair.As a result, it is prone to discoloration due to heat stimulation and oxidation due to ultraviolet rays.

Therefore, pay attention to how often and how long you use hair dryers and curling irons, and do not overuse them.Also, use UV spray and wear a hat as a countermeasure against UV rays.

Prevention method XNUMX: Proper towel drying

In order not to damage the hair, it is necessary to properly dry it with a towel.
When towel-drying after bathing, do not rub your hair.

Also, first wipe off the moisture from the scalp, and then wipe off the moisture from the hair.By thoroughly towel-drying your hair, you can reduce the amount of time it takes to dry it with a hairdryer and reduce the damage to your hair.
