Voluminous and silky hair, like glowing skin, is an overall age-defying asset. To maintain healthy and shiny hair, it is essential to take care of the "scalp". If you want to improve curls and tangles immediately, take care of the "hair" itself.

The cause of hair damage is the aging of the scalp and hair. Due to aging, the epidermis of the scalp thins and the elasticity of the pores is low, making it difficult to grow strong hair. On the other hand, the hair becomes less dense due to the loss of protein and lipids and becomes dry and inelastic.

Some people apply the essence to their hair and then to their scalp, which is counterproductive. Excess oil can clog pores and become a major source of burden for the scalp. The most important thing in scalp care is to create a healthy environment for hair to grow. Repair damaged parts of the hair with serums. Separate scalp and hair care is the key point to preventing hair aging.

Scalp & Hair

Nutritional supplements from the diet are also essential to keep hair young. "In particular, protein, minerals, and B vitamins should be consumed in sufficient amounts in your daily diet, which are essential for growing strong and supple hair." So says Maiko Yamazaki, director of MAICO Holistic Skin Clinic.

Maintain young hair with treatments and a daily diet that works wonders for the scalp and hair!

Due to age, fatigue, etc., the scalp becomes thin and hard. The blood circulation becomes poor and does not deliver enough nutrients to the hair mother cells that form hair, resulting in stunted growth and dry, fine hair.

The pores on the thinning scalp become less elastic and distorted. The hair grows in a dormant state and is therefore prone to breakage and frizz.

The scalp must be soft and of the right thickness for the pores on it to be elastic and produce straight hair. The blood flow is smooth and the hair's mother cells can receive adequate nutrition.

The internal composition of the hair tends to decrease as a person gets older. Combined with repeated coloring and perming of gray hair, the internal components of hair are lost even more under the influence of agents.

Protein and water in the cortical layer are lost in clumps and cavities appear. The scales of the epidermis layer buckle, dry out, and lose their luster.

The inner cortical layer of the hair contains proteins and other components as well as a moderate amount of water. The scales of the epidermal layer are evenly spaced.

Scalp blood circulation, which delivers nutrients to the hair cells, is essential for the growth of thick, strong hair. That is why scalp massage is important. Hollow dry hair should be repaired with essence centered on the hair tips.

If the head muscles are stiffened, the scalp will sag by gravity. Imagine the scalp back to its original position with an upward-lifting massage. When the blood circulation of the scalp is improved, the sagging of the face will also be improved. It is important to stick to it every day. Do it by the way when using shampoo, it is easy to develop a habit.

Press the bulging part of the root of your thumb above your ear and lift your scalp upward. Repeat 5 times. You can rest your elbows against a table, etc. while doing this.

Press the bulging part of the root of your thumb to the back of your head and lift your scalp. Move your hand upward a little to relax the entire head.

Hold the scalp with the overlapping thumb and index finger and squeeze and press inward. Repeat this motion as you move toward the top of the head.

It will be easier to relax the stiff scalp by first moving the muscles in the neck that tend to be stiff. Add this step if you have time.

Rotate your shoulders by pressing on your collarbone

With one hand, press the clavicle depression and rotate your elbow dramatically. Do this 5 times in the front and 5 times in the back. Do the same on the other side.

15-second neck rotation

Relax your upper body and take 15 seconds to slowly rotate your neck in each circle. Turning too fast can damage the nerves, so it is important to turn slowly and gently.

Apply the serum centered on the ends of the hair to instantly smooth and manageable damaged hair. Avoid applying to the scalp or roots as this can cause clogged pores and hair to cling to the scalp.

Tie your hair in your hands by tying it in a ponytail. From the root of this bundle to the ends of the hair is the suitable area to apply the essence.

After using the shampoo, gently squeeze the water dry and apply the serum from the middle to the ends of the hair. Carefully rub into each hair strand.

For frizz-prone ends, apply the serum while rubbing. This way the ingredients of the serum penetrate better and manage better.

With the warmth of your fingers, you can make the air-cushion foundation adhere better to your skin, creating natural skin with zero makeup. Use a comb to pull your hair in the opposite direction and use a hair dryer to blow warm air at the roots. It can create natural hair volume. So it is recommended to do it during morning styling.

Recommended to use a wide air-cushioned plate comb

A comb with air cushions inside counteracts the force of pulling the hair and is less likely to damage the surface scales. Also, the larger the comb area is, the faster the hair dries and the easier it is to create a voluminous effect.

Shampoos and essences that are used directly on the scalp should pay attention to the ingredients, while essences for scalp care should be chosen according to the effect you like.

Shampoos that have too much cleansing power may wash away all the essential oils from the scalp as well. In this case, the beneficial normal flora is also killed, which may cause inflammation or itchiness.
