You can't fool nature. Those of us who have naturally thick, strong hair are truly lucky. In our part of the world, however, most women have hair that is naturally fine. This is also related to hair color—blondes tend to have naturally finer hair than brunettes or dark-haired women. But our habits also have a significant impact on the condition of our hair. On the list of forbidden habits should be, for example, touching your hair too often and playing with it, like twisting strands around your fingers. Although these actions seem harmless, they can cause excessive oiliness and simply damage the hair.
And last but not least, hair care should be tailored not only to your hair type but also (and even more importantly) to your scalp. If you tend to have oily scalp, use special scalp scrubs and deep-cleansing shampoos. The same applies if you frequently use mousses, hairsprays, and other styling products, especially those containing silicones that coat the hair externally. For sensitive scalps, gentle shampoos and conditioners without harsh cleansing and foaming agents like SLS and SLES are a good choice, enriched instead with soothing and balancing ingredients. Natural aloe extract and panthenol (vitamin B5), which have anti-inflammatory and regenerating effects on the scalp, are examples of such ingredients. Panthenol also helps reduce hair tangling during brushing.
If you dye your hair, use shampoos specifically designed for colored hair, which help to lock in the color and protect against premature fading of the pigment from the hair cuticle. Look for ingredients such as natural oils and plant extracts, along with silk proteins that have a reconstructive effect, and glycerin, which smooths the hair cuticle and makes the hair more elastic. In conditioners, seek out keratin. This protein is a natural building block of hair. In its hydrolyzed form, it strengthens hair by filling in gaps in the cuticle and adds volume, making hair appear thicker. Remember to use conditioner after every wash—it smooths the hair and prevents breakage when detangling.
Bleached hair requires special care. Blonde dye users probably know well why – it’s very difficult to maintain a light blonde shade (the closer to platinum, the bigger the challenge) because the pigment fades quickly. Unfortunately, this color also tends to yellow. That’s why it’s worth stocking up on shampoos, conditioners, and rinses dedicated to blondes in silver or blue tones, which help maintain the desired cool shade. Additionally, regularly bleached hair needs intensive regeneration. After every wash, use a conditioner, and once every one to two weeks, apply a deeply nourishing, restorative mask. After applying it to your hair, wrap your head in a towel – the heat will open the hair cuticle and help it absorb the beneficial ingredients better.

If your hair is severely weakened, brittle, and you find more and more strands on your brush, regenerating conditioners can help, for example, those with strengthening and hair growth-boosting biotin and saw palmetto extract, which inhibits excessive hair loss.

The most valuable oils for hair are natural, cold-pressed ones, such as argan oil, which regenerates and prevents split ends; macadamia nut oil, which repairs without weighing hair down; avocado oil, which limits excess sebum production and is especially recommended for oily hair; smoothing coconut oil; and sunflower oil, which helps reduce hair loss. These oils are rich in minerals, vitamins (including A, B, and E), and unsaturated omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. They work in multiple ways: moisturizing the hair cuticle and making detangling easier without causing breakage, while also providing intensive regeneration.
