Ignore this condition is not worth it, because it can be a symptom of diseases, most often - dermatological. Such diseases require medical treatment, and you should not postpone it with a trip to the doctor.

Which specialist needs to be contacted, a symptom of which disease may be itching on the head, accompanied by active hair loss, what tests you need to pass, and what methods of treatment exist - we will look in detail below.

What disease symptoms can it be?

The causes of itching can be quite varied - from nervous stresses, which manifest themselves in such a way, too dry scalp, to infection with lice and demydekoz. But if at the same time the head itches and hair falls out, then the causes and treatment, respectively, are of a dermatological nature.

Such manifestations may signal the presence of the following dermatological diseases:

• Fungal diseases, ringworm. As a rule, in addition to severe itching and hair loss, accompanied by the appearance of local bald patches, the appearance of red spots on the skin.
• Seborrheic dermatitis - arises due to the development of the fungus malassezia. Very itchy skin, and hair loss may be accompanied by redness and peeling.
• Eczema, psoriasis of the scalp - also accompanied by very severe itching. The skin in these places is covered with specific scales, there is a gradual baldness in these areas.

Diagnostics

In the event of itching and increased hair loss, consult a trichologist. If this is not possible - to a dermatovenerologist.

During the initial examination, the doctor communicates with the patient, specifies what cosmetic products he uses, whether there have been stresses lately, and what are associated diseases. The scalp is examined for pimples, rashes, redness, peeling, etc..

The main methods of therapy

By and large, itching of the head, accompanied by active hair loss, is not a separate disease, but a symptom of a certain disease.

Depending on why the head itches and hair falls out, that is, from the root cause, established after the diagnosis, Means and methods are selected to eliminate the problem:

1. Upon detection of an allergic reaction, first of all, exclude the contact of the allergen with the scalp (change care products, dyes). The patient is prescribed a course of antihistamines.
2. When a fungal disease is detected, systemic antifungal agents are used in combination with local antifungal drugs:
   • Clotrimazole.
   • Miconazole.
   • Pimafukort.
   • Griseofulvin.
   • Paste "Sulsen".

For shampoos can be recommended and medicated shampoos with antifungal composition, for example, Nizoral, or with a high content of zinc.

When psoriasis is detected, a long-term, narrowly targeted treatment is prescribed.

If a high level of glucose is found in the blood, the person is sent to an endocrinologist, who then administers a highly specialized drug.

If the cause of itching and hair loss was nervous stress and emotional stress, the patient is prescribed sedatives. Vitamin complexes with the obligatory content of magnesium and vitamins of group B can be used as general supporting agents.

Apparatus treatment and physiotherapy for trichodia

This recommendation is due to the fact that the skin is mechanically damaged, inflamed and irritated. Various homemade masks can trigger an allergic reaction., provoke increased inflammation and only aggravate the situation.

If during the diagnosis, no fungal diseases were detected, the trichodynia was recognized as a consequence of the transferred emotional stress, stress, vitamin deficiencies, allergic reactions, some hardware procedures and physiotherapy methods can relieve the condition and relieve itching:

Photochromotherapy (light therapy)

This procedure is indicated to reduce scalp itching and reduce the appearance of allergic reactions. The principle of the method is based on the fact that different color spectra affect the scalp in different ways:

• green - normalizes vascular tone, has a mild regulating effect on metabolic processes, reduces local edema, eliminates itching, has a sedative effect,
• red - stimulates protective and immune mechanisms, promotes rapid healing of wounds, scratching, has anti-inflammatory effect,
• yellow - able to penetrate the scalp to a depth of 5 mm, dilates the capillaries, enhances the nutrition of hair follicles.

During the procedure, individually select the frequency and intensity of exposure to different spectra.

Magnetic laser therapy

Shown with active hair loss. The effect of the treatment method is based on the simultaneous action of low-intensity laser radiation and a magnetic field on the scalp. During the procedure, the fluctuation of the external field provokes the inflow and outflow of blood to the skin, due to which the hair follicles receive additional nourishment and oxygen.

Cryotherapy

Procedure during which the scalp is massaged with liquid nitrogen. The method is based on the fact that during the procedure there is a sharp narrowing and subsequent expansion of small vessels, capillaries. The procedure is able to reduce itching and activate blood microcirculation, which contributes to the enhanced nutrition of the follicle.

Will it pass after the course of procedures?

In cases where the cause of itching and hair loss are fungal diseases, hair loss will stop after completing the course of therapy and full recovery. If psoriasis has been diagnosed, diabetes mellitus - success will depend on the effectiveness of narrow treatment.

Anyway, eliminating itching will help improve hair quality, because the permanent mechanical damage to the scalp will decrease.

The situation in which after treatment the head itch will pass, and active hair loss is not, is also quite likely. This may indicate that the reasons that provoked itching and hair loss are different, but simply manifested themselves in parallel.

In this case, additional diagnostics will be required - tests for sex hormones, thyroid hormone levels, ultrasound of the ovaries and thyroid gland. Probably, additional consultation of the gynecologist and endocrinologist will be necessary.

Conclusion

Trihodinea - a problem that is accompanied by severe itching of the scalp and active hair loss, requires an integrated approach. This condition is a symptom of various diseases, most often, dermatological.

Trichodine treatment requires preliminary diagnosis. Depending on its results, a dermatologist, trichologist or specialized specialist will be engaged in the selection of further treatment. With hair loss, accompanied by severe itching, it is worth refusing to use the methods of traditional medicine, since their use on itchy, inflamed and irritated scalp can only worsen the situation.

It is quite difficult to answer the question of how long the treatment will take. It all depends on the individual state of the body and on the root cause, which provoked the emergence of trihodine.For example, if the increased dryness of the scalp and severe itching provoked improper shampoo - it will be enough just to change the product to a more suitable one, if the reason lies in a fungal infection - its treatment will take 1-1.5 months.

Hair Care seriously ill

In order to keep the scalp and hair clean, a short haircut is recommended for a seriously ill patient. Hair should be washed at least 1 time per week, and febrile patients with profuse sweating 1 time in 5 days. For washing your hair it is better to use spermaceti, lanolin or baby toilet soap. Do not wash your hair, head and body with household soap. After washing, the hair is rubbed with a dry and soft towel. You need to comb your hair daily. Long hair in women necessarily braid in braids. Comb for combing hair should be rare, with blunt teeth.

It is better to use not a comb, but a massage brush, since when combing the hair it improves blood circulation in the scalp.

The patient must have a comb, brush, towel. Use of other people's toilet items is unacceptable.

Stone oil treatment

At all times thick, fluffy, soft, shiny hair of a pleasant shade was the dream of every woman. And the magnificent hair of Veronica, the faithful girlfriend of the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy, will forever remain in the memory of humanity in the name of a distant constellation.

Not everyone, however, is rewarded with this gift from nature. Most often, the hair delivers a lot of trouble. After all, beautiful hair is the result of good health, good nutrition, proper lifestyle.

Very often, hair problems are caused by a deficiency in the body of one or another trace element. For example, as a result of the lack of iron and copper, the hair becomes brittle, brittle, split. The lack of these microelements contributes to the fact that the hair dull, gray hair appears.

As you remember, stone oil is rich in micronutrients. This explains its beneficial effect on the hair.

Of course, to compensate for the lack of trace elements in the body, stone oil is used internally in the form of a solution. But, in addition, the solution of stone oil can be applied externally - rubbed into the scalp after washing.

By the way, the indispensable condition for the beauty of hair is proper care, and its foundation is cleanliness. How often should I wash my hair? There is no definite answer to this question: there is no point in defining any strict regime of washing the head - say, every 7 or 10 days. There is one universal rule that I myself adhere to: hair should be washed when it becomes dirty.

Before you start washing your hair, you need to comb them with a brush. The head is well moistened with water. Our grandmothers used to wash the hair well, usually using rain or snow water. In our time, environmental disasters do not, of course, do this. It is better to add a little borax or baking soda to soften tap water, usually 1 teaspoon per 1 liter of water. Water should be warm. The shampoo is diluted with water, then applied to the hair and rubbed with massage movements, adding a little water to form a rich foam. If the hair is not very dirty, then the second time you should not wash it with shampoo. Then rinse the head thoroughly.

For the last rinse it is useful to use cool water - this will cause blood flow to the scalp and make the hair shiny. After washing the hair, it is desirable to dry with a towel.

Now you can apply a solution of stone oil (3 g per 2 liters of water). Rub the solution, massaging the scalp.After washing, dry your hair in the open air.

After a few of these procedures, you will feel their positive effect: your hair will become soft and shiny. And with regular use of stone oil, they will become a real decoration.

• Allergic reactions to cosmetics. If after applying a new shampoo or conditioner, the scalp starts to itch, you should stop using them and switch to special products for sensitive skin. Allergies often occur on dyes containing ammonia and other chemical components.

Systemic causes of itching and hair loss are:

• Deficiency of vitamins, nutrients in the body leads to dystrophy of the hair bulb. Insufficient blood supply causes weakening of the roots and thinning of the hair.
• Stress, nerves, depression cause hair loss. The skin begins to peel off, dandruff appears.
• Parasitic infection. On the surface of the hair lice can live. Damage to the skin is caused by ticks, as a result of the vital activity of which there are unpleasant sensations in the form of itching, peeling. The desire to scratch your head leads to skin injury, which threatens to cause an infection, after which you have to treat it.
• Dry skin. Insufficient release of fat causes strands to become too dried, brittle. In this case, the scalp itches.
• Fungal diseases. Mycoses that occur on the head are caused by various fungi, so the symptoms are different. A common symptom of a lesion is a noticeable thinning of the hair, the scalp begins to itch. In the advanced stage dandruff is formed. Treatment can be carried out only after determining the type of fungus.
• Psoriasis. As the disease progresses, it can spread over the entire surface of the head. The skin is covered with red plaques causing an itchy effect.
• Neurodermatitis (atopic dermatitis). It is characterized by rashes. In places of papules covering the head, hair falls out. Pruritus itching especially worse at night.
• Diabetes mellitus is another disease in which the scalp itches and hair falls out.

Alopecia is often seen in people who have undergone radiation, suffering from tuberculosis.

Ways to solve the problem

Physiotherapy procedures such as darsonvalization, cryo-massage, and UFO help to speed up recovery and get rid of head itch and hair loss.

Virtually all drugs have contraindications. It is necessary to carefully study the instructions before applying them.

Among them, its effectiveness is famous shampoo, made from rye bread. Pulp pour boiling water and leave for two days. Then add the egg yolk, mix the mass in the mush and apply it on the hair, gently rubbing it into the scalp. Rinse with warm water. Hair after such a procedure becomes clean.

Burdock oil has long been known for its beneficial properties for healthy hair. It is applied on the head for half an hour before washing.

No less useful are essential oils. When the hair falls out itchy head, oil of rosemary, tea tree, jojoba is added to the shampoo. The latter is especially effective if there is dandruff, eczema. The Indians used this oil as a natural conditioner and to strengthen the hair on the head.

Prevention

Hair will always be healthy and beautiful, if you care for them, following certain rules. Then you will not have to experience such unpleasant symptoms as severe itching of the head, peeling, dandruff, hair loss.

It is necessary to exclude an aggressive effect on the skin of high and low temperatures - in hot weather and in freezing weather, wear an appropriate headdress. The diet needs to be provided with vitamins and microelements necessary for nourishing the hair follicles. Be sure to include in the menu products containing folic acid - seeds, cereals, nuts. The main part of the diet should be vegetables.

What to do

In situations where hair falls out and itchy head, the help of a trichologist or a dermatologist is required. Trichologist deals with problems associated with curls and epidermis of the head, but not in every locality you can find a qualified specialist in this field.

If there is no such doctor, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist. The specialist deals with the problems associated with the epidermis, so it can also determine the causes of loss and itching of the head and prescribe treatment.

If scalp itches and hair loss begins, the therapy is recommended to address the factor that led to such consequences, otherwise the treatment will be ineffective. After that, you can focus on solving the problem itself.

If the head is itchy and hair falls out due to the use of unsuitable shampoos or poor-quality cosmetics, therapy is not required. In this situation, it is recommended to change the shampoo, lotion balsam and any other similar products.

In most cases, this is enough to restore hair and skin to stop itching.Doctors recommend the use of hypoallergenic products or preparations intended for sensitive skin.

If itchy head, hair falls out and there are problems with dandruff, then review the power system. Such a condition may cause excessive consumption of sweets, smoked or spicy foods.

Hair loss is often confused with their brittleness. In order to understand what exactly is happening with your hair, take the hair that has fallen out and carefully examine it from two sides, if necessary - under a magnifying glass. If at the end of the hair there is a thickening (hair bulb), then this hair really fell out. If there are no bulbs on the fallen hair, it means that the hair just broke and you hold in its hands just its broken piece. In the same way, check a few more hairs, since hair loss can be combined with their breaking. Unlike breaking hair, which is usually caused by improper care, there can be many reasons for hair loss.

Drop rates

According to the latest data, normally the amount of hair that has fallen out should be no more than 35-40 pieces per day (with thick hair - up to 100 pieces).

You can also do the following test: take a strand of about 15 hairs and pull harder in the root area, if you have more than 3 hairs left in your hand, it means that your hair really falls harder.

Without conducting this test and not counting the hairs, you can also focus on your own observations: as soon as you notice that you have more hair on your comb than usual, it’s time to see a doctor. However, if you had short hair before, and now you have long hair, the amount of lost hair may seem larger than usual due to the increase in the amount of lost hair. Although in fact the hair may fall out at you all in the same amount.

Causes of Fallout

Increased hair loss may be the result of improper hair care - too frequent use of a hair dryer and other types of hot styling, frequent dyeing and dry-dressing (especially if poor-quality chemical hair dyes are used or they are aged on the hair for longer). without headgear. On the other hand, hair often falls out due to malfunctions throughout the body, for example, due to the lack of certain trace elements (iron, zinc, etc.), deficiency of protein foods, vitamins.

Other causes of hair loss include hormonal imbalance, the body’s response to certain medications, surgeries using general anesthesia (hair falls out 3-4 months after surgery), chemical, radiation, industrial poisoning, diseases of the scalp, long-term chronic diseases ( for example, intestinal dysbiosis), the influence of the atmosphere of industrial cities and metropolitan areas.

Treatment at trichologist

Only a trichologist can get a comprehensive treatment. The doctor will tell you how to normalize the diet, prescribe certain supplements and vitamins. External hair treatment may include the use of nourishing, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, exfoliating, antiseborrheic drugs, as well as vasodilator and anti-androgen drugs. They will help restore hair and improve their growth. Massage of the scalp and physiotherapy can be recommended. Mesotherapy is widely used in the treatment of hair loss - a method in which injections of the drug are injected into the skin to a shallow depth with the help of a very fine needle. The composition of the drug depends on the problem that caused hair loss, but there are also universal recipes. Various healing masks are also used.

As additional (but not basic!) Methods of treating hair loss, after consulting with a physician, you can use home-made products. All of the following tools are applied to clean hair, wet after washing.

Colorless henna mask (this mask also helps fight dandruff)

1. Pour one or two bags of colorless henna (depending on the length of the hair) into a non-metallic container. Henna pour a small amount of very hot water, almost boiling water. Stir the henna to obtain a slurry with a brush for dyeing hair. Take one ampoule of vitamin B₆, open and pour into the mixture. Mix again. Let the mixture cool slightly so that it becomes pleasantly warm.

2. Apply the mixture to clean, wet hair over the entire length. Massage the skin.

3. Wear a cellophane cap on your head.

4. Wrap the hair on top with a towel. Leave the mixture on the hair for 15-40 minutes.

5. Wash the head with warm water.

This mask can be done 2 times a week for 1 month.

Mask with burdock oil Mix 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 egg yolk (for oily hair, not the yolk is used, but the whole egg).

Heat in a water bath, stirring until the mixture is warm. Remove from heat, add 3 tablespoons of burdock oil. Apply to scalp and massage. Put on a cellophane cap, wrap with a towel on top. Soak for 1 hour, then wash off the mask with shampoo.

Problems are solvable

During the life of almost every woman is faced with a particular problem of hair: they can split, break, fall out, dandruff and other troubles can appear.

A number of difficulties of this kind can be eliminated by cosmetic means. For example, it is enough to pamper your hair with a balm, temporarily abandon coloring, use hair dryer less often - and the hair literally comes to life before our eyes, becoming shiny, silky, thick. However, if the cause of the hair problem lies somewhere inside the body, then you can, on the contrary, lose precious time and waste money on cosmetic products. Therefore, if any troubles do occur to your hair or scalp, immediately contact the doctor of the trichologist. Such a doctor works in medical centers and specializes in such problems. Diagnosis occurs in several stages.

The first step of diagnosis is to talk with the patient about the complaints, the duration of the disease, the nature of its course, the presence of the same among relatives, etc. The second step is a visual inspection of the hair and scalp.

The third step is computer microscopy, which allows you to find out everything about the state of the hair follicle, the functioning of the sebaceous gland, etc. If we are talking about enhanced hair loss, we make a trichogram - take a few dozen hairs (ideally 100 pieces) for analysis and examine them in detail a microscope to determine the percentage of hair in one or another stage of development, the results are compared with the norm.

For a more accurate diagnosis, your doctor may need your full hormonal and immunological profile, so you may need additional testing - for an expanded range of sex hormones, thyroid hormones, indicators of cellular humoral immunity, etc. It may be necessary to be examined and for microelements, so that in case of deviation from the norm the doctor corrects this particular reason. In difficult cases, additional diagnostic methods are used.

When treating hair, you may need advice from a gastroenterologist, gynecologist, neurologist and treatment of a possible underlying disease.

Remember that hair reflects the health of a person as a whole. Interestingly, it is precisely from the state of the hair that one can determine that certain malfunctions occur in the body even before a person starts to disturb something.

Onion and garlic treatment

For hair loss, dandruff and itching of the scalp for b weeks it is necessary to shave the head daily and rub it one week with garlic juice, the other with onion juice.

For dry seborrhea (dandruff), a slurry of garlic and fresh nettle leaves, taken in equal parts by volume, spread on the scalp, trying to get to the hair roots, tie a scarf and leave for 15-20 minutes. After that, rinse with warm acidified water and rinse the hair with a decoction of chamomile flowers.

For baldness, mix a slurry of 3 heads of garlic with 50 g of honey and rub daily into the skin. The mixture can also be used in cases of eczema or ulcer, and it is also useful to apply it daily at night with a thick layer to warts, bites or purulent wounds.

Mix garlic and ivy leaves in equal parts by weight. To rub in hair loss in balding places for 5-10 minutes in the morning and evening every other day, in the interval wash your hair with a decoction of chamomile flowers. The course of treatment is 1 month. After a month break, repeat the treatment if necessary.

Mix in equal parts in terms of garlic ash and honey. Rub into the skin with skin diseases and scalp during hair loss.

Washing and combing hair

How to choose a shampoo to understand whether you bought a good or bad shampoo, pay attention to how your hair looks after washing. After using a good shampoo, the hair is soft, crumbly, well combed, glisten, easily fit into the hair, the scalp is not inflamed and does not peel off. After using a bad shampoo, hair remains heavy, does not lie, quickly becomes dirty, there is no shine, the scalp can itch and peel.

Shampoo composition

Surface-active substances (surfactants), or, as they are also called, detergents. They are included in 95% of all existing shampoos. They play the role of cleansing elements and are present not only in shampoos, but also in shower gels, cleansing lotions, etc. The surfactants are anionic, cationic, amphoteric and non-ionic. The most commonly used anionic surfactants.

Cationic surfactants cause eye irritation when in contact with eyes, so cosmetics are rarely used.

In order of increasing quality of anionic and cationic detergents, they can be arranged as follows:

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (Ammonium Lauril Sulfate)

Ammonium Laureth Sulfate (Ammonium Laureth Sulfate)

Sodium lauryl sulfate (Sodium Lauril Sulfate)

Sodium Laureth Sulfate (Sodium Laureth Sulfate)

TEA lauryl sulfate (TEA I. auril Sulfate)

TEA Laureth Sulfate (TEA Laureth Sulfate).

At the same time, we in no way praise these detergents. On the contrary, we want to say that they are harmful to our hair and skin, since the same sodium lauryl sulfate destroys the structure of proteins (and the bands, we recall, consists mainly of proteins), and indeed it is a strong carcinogen. Sodium laureth sulfate is not much better - when in contact with other ingredients, it forms carcinogenic nitrates and dioxins.

Amphoteric surfactants are used in the manufacture of shampoos for dry and damaged hair, that is, in soft shampoos. The softest amphoteric surfactants are cocimidazoline and cocoamphoacetate. As for non-ionic surfactants, they have good detergent properties (they act even in sea water), while the risk of skin irritation is rather small. A typical representative of non-ionic detergents is glycerol monostearate.

Several surfactants can be used in shampoos, and it is they that largely determine the quality of the shampoo. To reduce the harmful effects of surfactants, after washing it is necessary to rinse hair well and use conditioners.

Obese substances are needed to prevent dry hair. Polyvinyl chloride, isopropyl myristate, migliol, olive oil can be used as oxi- dating substances.

Obese substances reduce foaming. Therefore, shampoos for dry hair often poorly foamed. At the same time, if the shampoo gives abundant foam, and after washing the hair has become light and fluffy, it means that a strong surfactant has been used and there are few revitalizing substances added. This shampoo is suitable only for oily hair.

Other components. Regular shampoo also contains consistency regulators, foam stabilizers, colorants, flavors. Due to the presence of these additives, shampoo has the necessary thickness, pleasant color, delicate aroma, may contain nacre, but all this creates only an external effect. A good shampoo, on the contrary, should not be a bright color and have an intoxicating scent.

Acid value (pH). A good shampoo should be marked: "pH 5.5" or "pH-balanced" - this means it has the same acid reaction as the hair. This shampoo just cleans, but does not violate the protective shell of the scalp. If the pH of the shampoo is less than 7, it is called acidic, if the pH is 7 - neutral, if more than 7 - alkaline. The higher the pH of the shampoo, the more it dries the scalp and hair.

Sunscreen filter (UV filter), which is part of the shampoo, protects against the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays, prevents hair drying. The UV filter must be in those shampoos with which you are going to wash your hair in summer.

Dietary supplements contain the majority of shampoos. These are all kinds of infusions, extracts, plant extracts, vitamins.

When buying a shampoo, pay attention not only to its composition, but also to its purpose. Buy what your hair needs (dry or oily, dyed or damaged).

If you have already experienced the fact that after some shampoo your scalp was itchy and flaky, buy a shampoo of another brand. If the situation repeats, you may be allergic to some components. You'd better buy funds marked “Hypoallergenic”.

Types of shampoos

Shampoos are produced: in liquid form, in powder form and in solid form (resembling a bar of soap).

Liquid shampoos are:

Shampoos for oily hair often contain a minimum of nutrients, but a large percentage of detergents that release the skin from excess fat. Tanning and antimicrobial substances, for example, horsetail extract, oak bark, peppermint, as well as essential oils of tea tree, cypress, salicylic acid, and white clay are often added to such shampoos.

Even if you have oily hair, shampoo for such hair should be used no more than 1-2 times a week.On other days, if necessary, wash your hair with a mild shampoo for daily use.

Shampoo for normal hair wasps should be soft and gentle. At the same time, such a shampoo should clean the hair and not dry the skin. This type of shampoo contains an average amount of detergents. There are few nutrients here, but for normal hair this amount is enough.

Shampoo for mixed hair is designed for hair, oily at the roots and dry at the ends. It contains an average amount of detergents and various additives that are designed to normalize the activity of the sebaceous glands. This shampoo may contain comfrey extract, nettle, egg yolk, St. John's wort.

Shampoo "2 in 1" is a combination of "shampoo + conditioner." It is better not to use this remedy at all, as the conditioner and shampoo mixed in one bottle neutralize each other's effects. The shampoo tries to clean the hair, pushing the hair scales like a ripe cone, the conditioner, on the contrary, immediately smooths all the hair scales, preventing the shampoo from clearing them. Therefore, it is advisable to use separately first shampoo, then - conditioner or balsam.

Of all hair types, 2 in 1 shampoo is most suitable for normal hair and completely unsuitable for dry hair. Around the world, the principle of "2 in 1" and "3 in 1" (shampoo + conditioner + balm) gradually disappears.

Anti-dandruff shampoo should be used only after the appearance of this disease.

The shampoo cleanses the skin of a lot of dead particles and contains additives that stop the formation of new dandruff: tar, zinc, etc. However, be careful: if you use this shampoo excessively, your hair becomes dry and dull. Anti-dandruff shampoo helps to eliminate dandruff, if it arose as a result of improper hair care. Apply this shampoo should be 2-3 weeks. Then, if the dandruff has passed, they transfer to the usual shampoo, if it has not passed - use medical shampoos.

Shampoo for colored hair, in addition to additives that restore damaged hair, contains additives that do not allow the paint to quickly wash out. And above all, its value: with the help of this shampoo your hair color will be fresh and saturated longer.

There are several types of such shampoos: "For dyed", as well as "For dark", "For light", "For red" hair. The last three should be applied strictly in accordance with their hair color.

Shampoo for men, since men tend to oily skin more often, usually contains drying ingredients. And of course, the fragrance of men's shampoos is more pronounced. Otherwise, they are the same as for women.

Shampoo polishing. This shampoo is advisable to use before perming or coloring. The shampoo is designed to remove the precipitating substances that remain after styling products and 2 in 1 shampoos.

Healing shampoo has a neutral pH, minimally flavored, contains many therapeutic components. It is applied after consultation with the doctor, but not constantly, but by the course. Most commonly sent to treat dandruff or hair loss.

Dry shampoos have the appearance of powder powder. They are used for dry shampooing without water. Currently, dry shampoos are rarely used, for example, in diseases of the scalp, when the skin and hair are sick and can not be exposed to water. The disadvantage of such shampoos is that the hair after use most often remains dull. Dry shampoo is good to use with greasy hair, the owners of which grieves the greasy look of their strands.

Solid shampoos, or shampoo in pieces, are sold in specialized stores, in the same place as the handmade soap. They cost more than ordinary shampoos, but sometimes much more efficient, safer and more pleasant.This shampoo has in its composition a lot of natural ingredients, the quality of which you can not doubt. One lumpy shampoo is enough for 7-8 applications.

In such stores you can buy in pieces and medicated shampoos, henna tablets, etc. Solid shampoos attract with their originality and spectacular appearance - they are often bought as a gift to someone.

Every 2-3 weeks, maximum - after 4-6 months, the shampoo needs to be changed to another. Otherwise, the active ingredients of the shampoo cease to act on the hair, but we incorrectly think that we have acquired a fake.

Using shampoo, do not expect miracles from him. Its main function is to clean the hair, not to heal and restore it.

Why does hair fall out

The causes and treatment of hair loss and scratching of the skin can be varied, so a person must always consult a specialist. Do not forget that these troubles are not only aesthetic problems, but may indicate the possible appearance of serious diseases.

It is the doctor who is able to help if the head itches and hair falls out.

60-100 hair loss per day is considered normal, although for thicker the upper limit rises to 120. Exceeding these limits may be due to the influence of external or internal factors.

If we consider this process from the physiological side, then it is predetermined by the weakness of the bulbs, which are no longer able to hold the hair shafts.

The latter simply fall out of it.

Possible reasons

The process of hair loss is divided into androgenic or alopecia male type and diffuse, more related to the female sex. Among the reasons due to which the hairstyle is thinning, the following health problems are noted:

• weakened immunity
• viral infections
• sudden weight loss
• the effect of a polluted environment,
• exposure to low or high temperatures, especially in a child,
• hormonal disorders, for example, during pregnancy or breastfeeding,
• heredity,
• diabetes,
• effects of surgery under anesthesia,

• poor blood supply to the scalp,
• infection of the scalp,
• avitaminosis,
• effects of stressful conditions
• iron deficiency in women during critical days,
• medication against pressure, contraceptives, steroids, diuretics, antidepressants,

Scalp itching may be pathological or physiological. The first is caused by an irritant, therefore it is a reaction to its effect in the form of friction, burns or a bite.

The second is characterized by the appearance during illness or during periods of pregnancy or old age. The head itches due to the signal that histamines supply to the nerve endings.

It passes through almost all receptors: pain, thermal, tactile, chemical.

If it hurts your head, it may indicate the following problems or illnesses:

• parasites settled on the skin, i.e. ticks or lice
• defeat fungal infections
• stresses

• pathology of the gallbladder,
• psoriasis,
• insufficient or improper washing of hair,
• abuse of coloring agents, hair dryer or ironing.

The scalp is more susceptible to various diseases, because thick hair is a favorable environment for the development of fungi or parasites. Itching with hair loss is almost always intertwined.

In the summer, these symptoms may disappear themselves. Another reduced nutrition follicle observed with poor blood flow to the scalp.

The described process is typical for people with cervical osteochondrosis.

How long is the treatment?

How to wash hair

Hair peeling

when washing your hair less confused,

remove part of lost hair, dandruff, dirt, styling products,

improve blood circulation in the scalp, and then when washing your hair will get more nutrients from the shampoo or balm.

2. Make a head massage. It is especially necessary for owners of dry and colored hair, which, in addition, when massaging the head, can rub burdock, linseed, castor or hemp oil into the skin.

3. To wet hair.

4. If the shampoo is thick, it must be diluted. To do this, pour a small amount of shampoo into your palm, add a little water and mix this solution with your finger. Then distribute the shampoo between the two palms.

Modern shampoos have so strong detergent properties that 6 ml of shampoo may be enough for a short haircut, 10 ml for medium-length hair, and 10 ml for long hair. The use of excessive amounts of shampoo damages hair.

5. During shampooing, close your eyes. Shampoo apply to hair. Then carefully massage the skin of the head with the pads of the fingers (but not the nails!). The most important thing is to treat the scalp. The scalp is massaged with circular movements, starting from the occiput to the forehead, without missing a single section. During the foaming of the shampoo you need to make at least 20 massage movements.

When washing hair, you should always move from the roots to the tips, since this direction coincides with the direction of the cuticle scales and injures hair less. With a combined type of hair, when the hair roots are oily and the tips are dry, there is no need to apply shampoo over the entire length, you can only treat the roots.

During washing, try not to mess up your hair, especially if you have long hair. Also, do not rub your hair together strongly, as if you were washing your laundry in order not to damage the hair shafts. Foaming shampoo and hair should be cleaned thoroughly, but quickly, so that the cleaning agents do not actively penetrate the hair and scalp.

6. Wash the foam well with clean cool water - cool water will close the hair scales. It is necessary to rinse hair for a long time, having spent on it in 3, and even 5 times more time than for applying shampoo. It is necessary to wash hair, making the same movements with fingers as when foaming shampoo. At the same time rinsing should last as long as the water flowing from the hair becomes clean, without foam. Wash off the remnants of shampoo is extremely important, otherwise the scalp may itch, peel off, and the hair itself will look dull. Clean hair when holding it with fingertips emit a characteristic creak. However, even clean hair does not emit squeak after using a balsam mask, after washing with some shampoos.

If the hair is still dirty, steps 4-6 of the hair washing procedure will have to be repeated. When re-washing the hair will need a smaller amount of shampoo than the first soaping. It so happens that a certain area of ​​the head, such as a fringe, has not been washed enough. Then the diluted shampoo should be applied only to this area of ​​the head, lather and rinse.

7. Clean wet hair with a soft motion, blot with a towel to remove excess moisture. The towel should be fresh, clean. Do not twist, squeeze hair or tie them in a turban. Chinese women, to make hair shine, wipe hair with natural silk. To dry your hair as quickly as possible, as well as to create a pleasant feeling of warmth, you can blot your hair with a warm towel - for this you need to preheat it on the battery.

8. Cover the towel over the shoulders and straighten the hair so that it does not lie under the towel, but on the towel. Wet the stripes with your fingers spread on the strands, so that later they were easier to comb.

It is preferable to let the hair dry naturally. Leaving the hair to dry, do not cover them with anything - the hair must breathe. Periodically, in the process of natural drying, you need to lift the hair from the roots with your fingers and straighten it so that it does not dry out in the form of icicles. You should not wash your hair in the pelvis or in the water in which you bathed.

If you forget to buy shampoo because of your employment, you can wash your head with improvised means. Oily hair can be washed with a solution of mustard, diluting 1 tablespoon of mustard in 3-4 liters of warm water. Hair of all types can be washed with egg yolks mixed with yogurt. These tools are used the same way as shampoo, they are foamed on the head. After that, the hair should be well washed with water. In those cases when there is nothing at all for washing hair, they can be washed with just warm water - their appearance will improve a bit by half a day.

Hair care during the cold season

If it is cold outside, wear a headdress - this will not only be a good prevention of colds, but will also prevent fading and hair loss. However, the headdress should not be tight.

In a heated room, remove the headdress, otherwise your hair will very quickly become dirty. In general, during the period of wearing a headgear, you have to wash your hair more often, because under the headline the activity of the sebaceous glands increases and the hair becomes sore. Due to prolonged wearing of a headgear, dandruff may appear, but this problem is easily solved.Since a lack of vitamins adversely affects the appearance of hair in the winter, as well as in early spring, take extra vitamin preparations. In the cold season, nourishing masks are relevant for hair. If you like to wear a wig, then winter is the best time for this. A wig can replace your headgear.

Stress and vitamin deficiency

Dandruff often indicates the presence of fungus on the skin. Pay attention to such dermatitis pathogens as:

• ringworm. The disease is accompanied by pink spots on the scalp, severe itching and active hair loss. If the infection is not eradicated, then soon a person will have bald patches. It is very important to start treating the lichen on time, because this infection is very quickly transmitted, especially to children.
• psoriasis. Symptoms of this infection - itching and hair loss. If you do not treat psoriasis, plaques and bald spots may appear. Although this pathogen is not contagious, it should be treated promptly.

Both lichen and psoriasis act on the state of the organism as a whole and entail immune failures. That is why it is worthwhile to notice the symptoms in time and find out what is behind them.

How to deal with pediculosis

No person is immune from vermin on the head. If an itch appears, the curls are lost somewhat more than usual, it is best to try to eliminate this problem immediately.

You need to ask relatives or friends to inspect the hair for the presence of parasites. Did lice show up? So, the hair falls out and the head itches because of them. You should immediately contact a dermatologist, who will help solve the problem.

Treatment of pediculosis is the use of special therapeutic shampoos, anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as diet. It is worth noting a few shampoos that can save from pediculosis:

These funds are sold in pharmacies, but they should be bought only on the recommendation of a doctor. After consulting with the pharmacist, you will receive an effective tool for your individual case. In order not to pick up the pediculosis again, you need to adhere to these rules: do not use other people's combs, in the hairdresser to urge to disinfect tools, and not to sleep on dirty bed linen. If you are going on a trip, it is better to take your laundry with you, so that you will not be a victim of infection.

Differential diagnosis of pruritus

Under the differential diagnosis is commonly understood such a diagnostic method, which excludes all possible diseases, until the only correct option remains. This diagnosis is used by almost all practitioners.It is not necessary to conduct such a study at home, because without proper medical education you can not make the correct diagnosis.

A dermatologist should find out and record all your symptoms, time and date of detection, as well as inquire about all aspects of your daily life. Only after collecting data can you start to exclude a number of diseases. An experienced professional can immediately identify the problem and prescribe treatment. You should not delay with going to the doctor, because the itching increases and sores can form, which in turn will significantly complicate the process of differential diagnosis.

• masks of apple gruel, which is cooked in water,
