VIDEO: Strengthen fine hair with great-grandmother's home remedies
Basic care for fine hair
- Hairstyling professionals don't think much of the common “styling miracles” for fine hair. Many of these products contain silicones that make the hair soft and supple at first, but also quickly collapse it again.
- If you have very fine hair, you should therefore generally refrain from using silicone-containing shampoos and care products.
- With fine hair, rinsing is almost more important than shampooing and washing. As a rule of thumb, rinse three times as long as you've washed your hair. This ensures that excess care substances are rinsed out and your hair is not weighed down and stressed.
- Your hair will get a particularly beautiful shine if you finish off by rinsing it with a cold shower. The cold water ensures that the cuticle of the hair that was previously opened during washing closes again.
- So that you do not have to expose your fine, mostly sensitive hair to the heat of a blow dryer, straightening iron or curling brush for too long, you should dry your hair well before styling. This is particularly gentle and easy with a microfiber towel that absorbs a lot of moisture.
Hair stands out - this is how you tame it
When the hair is sticking out, it often looks like you've reached into the socket. No …
Strengthen the hair structure - just like in grandmother's time
Our grandmothers and great-grandmothers did not know the modern styling products for fine hair, anyway Hair care was also very important to you - but you often took it seriously Pantry.
- To strengthen fine hair, our grandmothers liked to grab a beer bottle. The beer is of course not drunk, but a good sip is massaged into damp hair. This strengthens fine hair and also has a firming effect, so that the subsequent styling lasts better.
- Another trick - especially for strengthening blonde hair - is to use a honey and lemon conditioner. About a tablespoon of honey is stirred into half a liter of hot water until it has completely dissolved. Then add the juice of a lemon. The hair is rinsed with this mixture. The honey and lemon rinse is not washed out, but remains in the hair. Then dry and style the hair as usual.
- If your fine hair is very dry and dull, you can massage in a mask made of egg yolk and vinegar, which will moisturize your hair and give it a nice, silky shine. To do this, take two to three egg yolks and a dash of vinegar, depending on the length of your hair. The whole thing is whipped with a mixer or whisk and then applied very generously to the hair and lightly massaged in. The mixture should then sit for about an hour before it is thoroughly washed out again.
Note: You can intensify the care effect of such a mask by first wrapping your hair with cling film and then with a thick, dry towel. As a result, a small build-up of heat develops, which intensifies the effect.
Have fun trying!
