Standing time long hair was considered one of the main female jewelry. In ancient Russia, they served as a mandatory attribute of magical rituals - such as a spell or "edge". If the spouse was going to a long journey, it was certainly a Lokon's beloved who guarded him from all adversity, and a strand of baby hair cut off from a young head is still kept in many families. There is a version that hair is mysteriously associated with space. Many nations have beliefs: the longer the person's straight, the more reliable it is protected by the most universe. It is worth remembering the famous legend about samsone, famous for its henichrial feats. "If you sink me, my strength will retreat me," he revealed his big secret, which he subsequently destroyed.
In ancient Greece, the attractiveness of beautiful long hair was especially valued, like those who possessed Aphrodite, - the goddess of love. Those whom Nature did not give such wealth, went to all sorts of tricks. For example, the Roman emperor Guy Julius Caesar hid rare hair Paul laurel wreath.

Female pride
Despite the fact that democraticity flourishes in the modern hairdresser, long hair still remains a symbol of femininity
and deep wisdom. According to the latest polls, 80% of men have short female haircuts associated with aggression, pressure and even hoarseness. Not in vain one of the famous fan clubs Nicole Kidman broke up after she got rid of his famous chapels. But perhaps the most important thing for what to grow hair is infinite possibilities for creating new images. Today, they can be dissolved along the shoulders, tomorrow a picker into an elegant "shell", and on the weekend to appear to the magnificent secular lioness with a wavy mane. But all this works only in the case when the strands look not just well-groomed, but flawless. Hairdressers are confident: long hair is "maximalists" - they look either great or disgusting. Even the exquisite "horse tail" turns into a pitiful spectacle if straight dull, brittle and shallow.
"Most people do not think that even in the most ideal conditions of hair grows about 15 centimeters a year," says Sergey Larin, La Biosthetique art director (in Russia). - An important value is also a genetic factor, because the maximum length of your heads is laid in genes, and nothing can be done about it. Each hairs passes a specific growth cycle, after which it falls out, replacing the new one. On average, its life is from 2 to 6 years. And if the hair roots receive its portion of nutritious
and protective substances necessary for normal life, along the entire length and especially at the tips, it inevitably weakens that in the end leads to severe damage. Therefore, the longer your curls are, the more important to provide them with a natural level of moisture to the maximum period, otherwise they are rapidly damaged. If you do not take urgent measures, the only exit was and the scissors remain, which is a real stress for women, the years of growing the chapel. "
"In terms of its structure, the stem of the hair resembles the trunk of a tree," Mary Chevychalova adds the head of the AvroRaClinic cosmetology department. - Its inner part is keratin fibrils, the external is flat hexagonal cells filled with keratin and bonded by "cement" from lipids - ceramides, fatty acids, cholesterol and its sulfate. If the flakes are tightly adjacent to each other, glued together, the hair look smooth and shiny. With improper use of detergents, frequent use of the hair dryer, exposure to sunlight, staining, bleaching lipids are washed out, and the scales "stand up end". Hair look dull and quickly become brittle. "
Long hair requires special care. According to experts, it is necessary to have a non-one product here, but a whole series designed to solve a number of tasks: to ensure the elasticity and strength of the hair, give them the volume, moisturize, return a healthy shine, smooth their surface and fill the lack of all the components lost for the entire period of them Life.
"The better and more intensive care, the smaller the hair needs a haircut, and they look just great," says Sergey Larin. "For example, a career series from La Biosthetique Cheveux Longs is a real confession in love with long hair." It includes a number of components that ensure treatment, protection and restoration of the entire hair fiber - from the cuticle to the internal structure. First of all, it is a moisturizing and normalizing level of moisturizing low molecular weight wheat protein, which is an innovative product. Penetrating into the deepest structures of the hair, it provides a visible result in five minutes after application, restores the hydrobalance, normalizes the state of the head of the head, including the soothing effect, reduces hair fragility by 80%. Another significant component of the Cheveux Longs line is the natural keratin obtained by the biotechnological method. This natural protein acts like a patch on the damaged area of the hair, "despatching" it to the first-initial state laid by nature. Due to this, the structure of the hair structure is restored by the entire length. "

On every day
Competent hair care begins with proper washing. For the owners of long hair, this simple at first glance the procedure turns into a real problem. First of all, the hair is very difficult to comb, because the hair is longer, the more they are confused and damage. The worst crime that you can do against them is to try to "doubt" them in a wet state, which is usually injected by crying. The optimal solution will comb hair even before washing, gently dividing the strands and unraveling small nodules. Before washing, perform a five-minute massage of the scalp, making light circular movements - it regulates the activity of the sebaceous glands and activates the hair follicles. As for the procedure itself, it is imperative to choose a suitable shampoo and air conditioning, providing optimal care. When determining the "strategy", it is necessary to focus on the type of skin of the scalp.
"One of the main problems with which the owners of gorgeous chapels face is the so-called mixed hair type," says Sergey Larin. - This term was invented many years ago, and it was not quite correct. All the same hair is the same, the difference is only whether they were subject to chemical exposure (these are staining, felting, discoloration, chemical curling) are either natural. As for the skin of the head, it can be sensitive, dry, oily, or normal, but throughout the length of the hair in any case require enhanced nutrition. Special shampoos will help to solve this difficult shampoos at first glance, providing maximum roots from the roots to the most tips in the literal sense of the word. For example, a soft cleansing hatching shampoo for long hair undergoes chemical impacts, Vital Creme Shampoo Plus from La Biosthethetique series Cheveux Longs as gently cleanses both hair and scalp, already in the process of washing aligns the hair structure along the entire length and forms special protection. Of course, even the most high-quality shampoo will not replace the air conditioner - this is not a luxury, but a daily necessity, and you should not forget about it, even if your hair was not subject to staining or timing. The role of any air conditioner primarily consists in closing the scales raised during the washing process, as well as saturation with all sorts of nutritional and moisturizing components. With regular application of air conditioning, your hair will be transformed literally in front of the eyes, especially if the special cargo components are included in such a fund, the day after day restoring your hair. Thus, the revitalizing regenerating air conditioner for long hair Conditioner Plus from LA BIOSTHETHETIQUE contains a combination of special peptides from wheat proteins, as well as a polymer protector that protects hair to the next washing. Regular use of such a drug improves the inner hair structure, significantly strengthens the hair, makes them more voluminous, shiny and silky. "
"Please note that when the head is bold, you should not apply balm or air conditioning on it, if this is not stated in advance," said Maria Chevychalova. - When the hair is damaged, the head of the head is sensitive, greasy or dry, or if dandruff is worried, preference should be given to therapeutic means sold in the pharmacy or in the specialized branches of the clinics. Such preparations contain active complexes in high concentration, low molecular weight connections that can penetrate
In rather deep layers of leather and in the cuticle of hair rods, as well as high molecular weight complexes that reducing the impact on the surface of the hair. For example,
In our clinic, we use ELIOKAP trichological line, containing such components that do not apply in household cosmetics, especially in high concentration. These are amino acids, peptides, as well as protein complexes, vegetable extracts, vitamins, minerals, valuable natural vegetable and essential oils that can deeply penetrate the skin of the scalp and have a significant effect on the skin microcirculation, which means that the nutrition of hair follicles. We can create an individual shampoo composition for each client, designed not only for hair washing, but also to care for the scalp. "
Without "blizzard"
Even if you observe all the "safety rules", you can have another pressing problem of long hair, namely the sequencing tips. Unfortunately, in most cases, it can be solved only by the most radical way, having lost the pair-troika lined centimeters. Try the so-called hot haircut, in the process of which the most tip of the hair is searched, which prevents the loss of moisture. By the way, after that, the hairstyle acquires an additional volume. If you are cut off indecently, do not be discouraged. With good care, the hair is growing enough quickly, and if you provide them with a course of intensive therapy, there is a chance that the problem of "blizzard" will no longer disturb you.
Hair is also needed. From rubber, hairpins, scarves and even scarves. Remember that hot laying is a certain stress for long hair, so try to dry them in a natural way. In no case do not use the metal comb - it damages even the strongest and healthy hair. The best material is a natural tree, a bristle, a ceramic coating brush is also suitable, especially if you use a hairdryer.
Be sure to purchase several means for intensive care, it is all the more relevant when you plan to spend your vacation in warm countries. Such drugs will not only provide reliable protection hair, but also help to restore even hopelessly damaged areas.
"Long hair always needs more intense care," Sergey Larin adds. - It is provided as special serums and masks used in salon conditions, so
And indelible drugs you can use at home. For example, after washing and air conditioning, you can use the indelible fluid, such as Essential Hydrating Fluid (instantly restoring care for long hair) Cheveux Longs lines. This is a very convenient product, first of all, it is applied easily and quickly, but perfectly cares for hair: deeply moisturizes, protects against the effects of free radicals due to the extract of sunflower, gives them a well-kept view. If your hair is badly damaged, for example, as a result of clarification and highlighting, "ambulance" will be required. In the Cheveux Longs series there is an intense product - Conditioner Cortex (deeply restoring intensive treatment for long hair). Such a mask ensures so active care that in its impact is equal to spa procedures and is used for about 7-10 days. Its molecules have a special configuration that allows you to penetrate into the lowest layer of Cortex. The combination of intense moisturizing ingredients makes hair more obedient, prevents them drying and breaking. "
"Prevention is of great importance," Maria Chevychalova expresses his opinion. - It is recommended to use gentle dyes, applying protective oil (for example, a trichological line ELiokap) before the chemical curl or staining procedures. In addition, it is necessary to use therapeutic and prophylactic reducing masks. In the ELIOKAP line, such drugs contain valuable components: amino acids and peptides, which, having a positive charge, are attracted to hair and completely restored, and proteins, such as keratin, reconstruct damaged cuticle. Valuable vegetable oils, ceramides contribute to the restoration of the intercellular "cement" and are the best prevention of hair damage. Of course, no external care will give the optimal result in impairment of immunity, hormonal background, as well as errors in nutrition. Do not forget to take high-quality natural multivitamin preparations. The current possibilities of trichological cabinets allow you to choose an individual complex of trace elements due to detailed hair analysis. Try to get enough sleep, play sports, regularly attend specialists, follow the state of health. Then you will certainly become a happy owner of a luxurious chapels. "
