Do you feel that your hair is ugly and no matter what you buy, you can't make it improve? You could be making one or more mistakes in the way you care for it. Stay watching this video, I'll tell you what you could be doing wrong with your hair care routine. Hello everyone! Hello Simoonies community Welcome to a new video If you came to this video, I'm sure you WANT ANSWERS YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY YOUR HAIR IS NOT STILL IMPROVING. Is there anything more frustrating than spending money on hair products and feeling that, no matter what we use, it is still CRISPY? How annoying it is to spend a lot of money on products from very expensive brands, so that after using it our hair stays the same... But... Why does this happen? Are the products bad? Are brands liars? There are very common mistakes when it comes to taking care of our hair, mistakes that we make over time and that perhaps we are not even aware that we are making them. These have a direct impact on the state of our hair, its quality, and how it looks and feels. So that this does not continue to happen to you, and so that you do not spend more money on products that you do not need, I put together a list of mistakes that we frequently make with our shampoo and conditioner and that are the reason why our hair does not look as we would like. .. Are we ourselves the reason why our hair doesn't look good? Rotate the shampoo because ''the hair gets used to it'' I hear a lot on the internet that the hair gets used to the shampoo and that is why the hair does not improve, or that is why at a certain point it stops looking good and starts looking evil. DO YOU WANT TO TELL ME WHO WAS THE ONE WHO INVENTED THIS? Who was? First, let's remember that shampoo is a product aimed at cleaning the scalp. Yes, it also helps to wash the hair, but its main objective is to remove excess sebum and dirt that may be on the scalp and then affect the length of the hair. Very oily scalps will require a shampoo with strong cleansers that sweep away that excessive oiliness, so that it does not run over the hair fibers and leave the hair feeling oily. We must apply the shampoo in direct contact with the scalp and work it directly on the skin, not on the length of the hair. If you are using the shampoo on the length of the hair and you feel that your hair began to feel dry, hard, strawy... It's not that he got used to the shampoo, it's that you are using it wrong. Topical products, such as shampoo, are not capable of permanently changing the conditions of, for example, the condition of the head. That is why the scalp does not get used to shampoos. You heard right... DON'T GET USED If a certain shampoo works for our scalp, it will continue to work no matter how many times we use two or three bottles in a row. NOW WELL.. If it can happen that due to hormonal issues, medications, etc. The sebaceous secretion of our scalp changes and thus, a shampoo that previously worked for us, now does not work for us because our hair is more or less oily. It may also happen that you previously had healthy, strong hair, covered in sebum, and due to the repeated use, poorly applied, of shampoo on the length of your hair, it is now devoid of lipids, dry and full of frizz. In both cases, there was no getting used to the product. In the first case, the needs of my scalp changed. In the second, my hair tolerated me using the shampoo incorrectly until it couldn't take it anymore... There is no habituation to the shampoos. There is no need to get used to the product. go out and buy another one or put aside their favorite shampoo. 2.Not choosing the shampoo and conditioner according to the needs of your scalp and hair Well, the first mistake brings me to talk about this other one. This... if it is not the most frequent error, it is one of the most frequent. Buying the wrong shampoo. Just as facial skin has its specific needs, and just as we would not give oily skin a cream for dry skin or dry skin one for oily skin, we would not give a person with oily scalp a shampoo for people with dry scalp and vice versa. We must not forget that the scalp is SKIN. And the shampoo must be chosen depending on its characteristics. A very oily scalp, which makes the hair greasy easily, will require a strong shampoo that cleans deeply, with sulfates, to be able to sweep away that extreme oiliness. We should not give that shampoo to a person with a dry scalp, basically because... WE WOULD SET THE HEAD ON FIRE It's as if we were giving a cleanser with salicylic or glycolic to dry skin that is not hydrated. Crazy! Before criticizing your shampoo, make sure you have bought the right one for your scalp type. Oily scalps need a shampoo with sulfates. A normal or dry scalp, one with a combination of cleansers or without sulfates. I have several videos telling you the correct way to choose the shampoo for your case, you can see it after finishing this video. Not putting together a routine according to my needs Taking care of our hair is much more than using shampoo or using shampoo and conditioner. Depending on the characteristics and needs of our hair and scalp, we may have a more or less complex care routine. A hair care routine includes, yes, shampoo and conditioner, but it can also include: a repairing mask, a serum, an appropriate comb, an appropriate towel, a thermal protector, etc., etc., etc. What I'm getting at is that, many times, your hair care routine needs to be much more complex than simply using shampoo. For example... If we have high porosity hair , super damaged because every day we blow dry it and iron it before going out to stand in the sun for 12 hours, in a windy place. And we want it to look and feel good. , only using a shampoo and a conditioner... And... Let me tell you that this is going to be difficult.. But not because their products are bad, but... BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ENOUGH! It's like trying to fix a wall that is collapsing with a little playdough or clay. Everything is good, not bad, everything adds up... but that wall needs cement and bricks. If you bought new products and feel that they are not working, before criticizing the brands on Tik Tok, try to analyze if your hair is not needing something more. Maybe by making some change in your lifestyle, or adding one or two more products to your care routine, your hair will REVIVE. Listen to me... analyze your routine. Do not use conditioner Today, the year 2024... How can it be that there are people who do not use conditioner? BUT I HAVE SHORT HAIR! Use conditioner... BUT IT LEAVES MY HAIR... Use conditioner If we have hair, if we use shampoo, ...if we want our hair to look and feel good... WE MUST USE CONDITIONER! Conditioner plays a fundamental role in the health of our hair. Nutrition, hydration, and hair repair are provided by the conditioner. Yes, the shampoo may have ingredients that collaborate, but its function is different. Its function is to clean. What is really responsible for repairing the cuticle, for bathing the hair in electrical charges opposite to those of the shampoo, for reducing frizz, for leaving the hair manageable... is the conditioner. Spot. It is not possible to have truly cared for hair if we do not use it. I can imagine, I'm getting ahead of myself... ''I DON'T USE SHAMPOO AND I HAVE BEAUTIFUL HAIR'' I'm glad. I am happy for your genetic superiority, but I assure you that 99% of the remaining world population needs conditioner to keep their hair healthy and beautiful. For hair, using shampoo is a bit traumatic. Have you seen how your hair looks after using shampoo? Especially if they have long hair: hard, tangled, frizzy, like wire. The conditioner helps us return that hair to life, softening the fibers, lubricating it, leaving it soft and manageable. They can't forget to use conditioner. Look for a conditioner that suits the level of damage your hair fiber has. By choosing the right conditioner, you will see that your hair will improve a lot. And yes, if they have short hair they also have to use conditioner. Make sure to rinse it well and that's it. Not giving the assets time to work Another common mistake is not giving the assets the necessary time so that they can generate their effects. Shampoos and conditioners work better if we give them two or three minutes to generate the changes on the skin or hair that they are responsible for generating. Especially if we use, for example, a shampoo with salicylic acid or with ingredients to treat issues such as dandruff or other dermatological conditions. We must be patient and let them take effect. The same goes for conditioners and repair masks, we must give them time to coat and repair the hair structure before rinsing them. Something that I really like to do is apply the masks to my hair while doing some activity at home, that is, outside the shower. I let it act while I edit videos, answer emails or… tidy up the living room. Try it, I assure you that your hair will improve a lot. Not knowing what to expect from a product It is also a mistake not to know what to expect from a product. Not all products are aimed at generating all effects. That is to say... there are products for dry hair, for oily scalps, for dull hair, for hair with curlers... etc etc etc. If I bought a shampoo for oily hair and it didn't leave my hair docile, manageable, frizz-free, soft and shiny... the truth is that it's not the shampoo's fault. Just as there are serums or creams to hydrate the skin, to remove the excess sebum, brighten, exfoliate, etc… There are hair products with different properties to achieve different results. We must be very attentive and know the product we are about to buy, to know if it is aimed at what we want to achieve. If we don't do it, the most likely thing is that we will end up buying a product that does not meet our expectations, that does not achieve what our hair needs and ultimately... that does not serve us. I hear all the time from people who say that this or that product is terrible because it didn't leave their hair that way or that, but when I do a little research into what their hair is like, their scalp and what they wanted to achieve with the product... I find which is not the product for your case. Just as you wouldn't buy a product for your face that isn't for your skin type, you shouldn't do it with your hair either. And this leads me to the next common mistake: Killing a product because it didn't produce the effect I wanted. This... No. It can happen... Just because a product doesn't do what I want doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. IF I buy a shampoo for oily hair and I expect it to not make my dry scalp burn AND…. Let's say that the one who screwed up was me. The shampoo is not bad, I bought the one I didn't have to buy. I see this A LOT on social media. People who kill the product, who insult laboratories, who say that this or that hair line is a scam and the truth is that... it is not for them. I think what I talked about before made it more than clear that we should buy taking into account the characteristics of our scalp and hair. The product that we are going to use must be oriented towards these. A shampoo or conditioner, just because it is a shampoo or conditioner, is not going to cover all the needs of my case. It is very important that we do not kill a product for not generating the changes we were looking for, without first ensuring that they are really aimed at generating them. Also make sure you have a correct hair care routine, as we said before, sometimes our case may need more than just a shampoo and conditioner. If you have doubts about whether your routine is correct, if you want to know if shampoo and conditioner are enough for your case, do not hesitate to consult with your dermatologist. Don't fall into these mistakes that abound on social networks, your hair could improve A LOT by modifying two or three simple issues that perhaps until now you didn't take into account.
