• How much to wash your hair?

Enough of regrets (please!). September has many good things. Among them, that, after three months of chlorine, salt and excess sun, our hair caresses, finally, that truce that so longed to recover its vigor if possible, naturally.

"Like our skin, when we return on vacation, the hair looks more dry and dull," explains Dr. Elena Martínez Lorenzo, from the Pilar de Frutos Clinic.

What would your advice be to breathe you back into life? "First of all, moisturize and nourish with specific treatments".

At home, a gesture as simple as " always rinse the hair very well with cold water will help us improve the blood circulation of the area, better eliminate waste and provide extra shine."

Also, we should "use nutritional masks once a week, so that they provide us with nutrients and a plus of hydration."

CUT OR NOT CUT?

"It is not essential to cut the hair, but the ends should be sanitized , where the consequences of the oxidation process that has occurred as a result of excess sun, salt or chlorinated water are more visible," says Sandra Vivancos, founder of Henna Morena

Vivancos values ​​the healing power of plants to revitalize our mane: "Bathe the hair with grapeseed oil and petit grain , rich in vitamin E and highly antioxidant, once or twice a week (if they are dyed or permanent hair), as a mask, leaving it on for two hours before washing it helps us recover deep hydration, in addition to rebalancing the hair structure. "

What would be the perfect ritual? "In addition to using cosmetic oils s first cold pressed once a week, it is very good to use a honey and orange shampoo , which cleanses and provides nutrients. Also, apply a henna and shea mask after each wash to hydrate in depth, leaving it 20 minutes before rinsing. And finally, a serum with silicon , repairer and moisture restorer, as a final touch of styling. "

Once a month, he recommends applying "a poultice of cassia obovata (also known as blonde henna), with countless vitamins and minerals."

Born under the umbrella of the 'slowlife' philosophy, but inspired by ancestral formulas, Vivancos advocates "treatments with botanical infusions such as elixirs to heal hair." Soothing, balancing, strengthening and antioxidant, these Mediterranean herbal cocktails that are applied after washing are made with marigold, chamomile, orange peel, lavender or orange blossom.

For its part, Claudia di Paolo, an expert in cosmetics and creator of the Capillary Spa concept, advises starting this recovery process with "cleaning through a deep exfoliation of the hair and then going on to a hydration that we can get with an aloe mask vera , which softens without giving weight to the hair. "

What foods make the hair prettier and make it grow more?

Drop down

Iron, zinc, Omega 3 fatty acids, folic acid and proteins are our best nutritional allies to achieve a beautiful mane.

1. Rich in Omega 3 acids, blue fish such as salmon or sardines will help us shine.

2. By increasing the blood flow in the root by stimulating the follicles, the dairy proteins of yogurts can invigorate their growth.

3. Chard, broccoli and spinach are essential for their contribution of iron (especially the latter) and folic acid, as well as nuts.

4. Lean meat such as chicken is perfect for strengthening thin hair, containing proteins that help replace the hair we move every day.

5. Nor can eggs be missing due to their high protein content. Its contribution in biotin can also stimulate hair growth.
