What to do if hair follicles are blocked

The blockage of scalp hair follicles has a great impact on hair quality. It is also an important cause of hair loss. It may cause the hair to become dry and split. You should strengthen hair care and pay attention to washing your hair regularly to avoid the blockage of hair follicles. In addition, for some hair follicle blockages caused by seborrheic dermatitis, certain methods should be used to treat them, and attention should also be paid to dietary conditioning.

1. Internal adjustment diet therapy:

In daily life, you should eat more foods containing protein (such as soy products, milk, meat, eggs, etc.), iodine and other trace element foods (such as seaweed, nuts, potatoes, fungus, etc.), and green fruits and vegetables (apples, bananas, mangoes, carrots, spinach, etc.). People whose hair is prone to shedding should eat more seafood, soybeans, black beans, celery, spinach, and whole grains; those who have dry and dull hair should eat more kelp, seaweed, soybeans, red dates, and gelatinous foods (such as pig skin, pig trotters, fish skin, cartilage, etc.) to increase the toughness and make the hair thicker.

2. External nourishment method:

"Comb your hair more often" is the simplest hair care method advocated by health experts from ancient times to the present. "Jiao Shi Lei Lin" records: "Comb your hair 100 times to praise the Yang Qi and circulate it through the five internal organs throughout the year. Combing your hair can nourish your hair, stabilize the hair roots, make your hair shiny, and can also achieve many beneficial effects on the human body, such as improving eyesight, relieving headaches, strengthening the brain and refreshing the mind, and improving sleep. The correct way to comb your hair has always been a secret recipe for maintaining hair in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. When combing your hair, you should choose wood, horn products, and combs with smooth teeth (do not choose sharp ones, which will hurt your scalp). You can comb your hair from front to back, then from back to front; from left to right, then from right to left, and so on. Comb your hair dozens or hundreds of times, and finally tidy up your hair until it is smooth and neat. You can also use your five fingers instead of a comb to comb your hair. The time is usually early in the morning, during lunch break or before going to bed.

3. Choose a good shampoo and the correct way to wash your hair:

When washing your hair, you should choose a shampoo with good quality (the main ingredient of shampoo is sodium lauryl sulfate). Good shampoo generally does not have too many additives, the solution is thin and transparent, and there is no precipitation at the bottom.

4. The correct way to wash your hair

(1) Comb your hair before washing it. Use a comb to comb your hair smooth. If you have short hair, you can directly massage your scalp with your fingers. (2) Wet your hair completely with warm water. The water temperature should be between 20-25 degrees Celsius, and it is best not to exceed 30 degrees Celsius. Do not use cold water to wash your hair, as this will shrink the pores on your head, causing poor blood circulation, and stains on your scalp will not be easy to clean off. (3) Pour an appropriate amount of shampoo onto your palms, rub your hands to create foam, and then apply it to your hair to wash. If you pour shampoo directly on your head, it is easy to damage your scalp. If you use a bad shampoo, it can easily irritate your scalp. (4) When washing your hair, do not scratch or pick your scalp with your fingernails, because the scalp is thinner than the skin on your face. Once scratched, it will cause bacterial infection and damage to the stratum corneum cells. The correct way is to gently massage and wash with your fingertips. If your scalp is itchy, don't scratch it, just scratch it with your fingertips. (5) After washing your hair, the hair scales are in a half-open state, which is the best time to replenish nutrients. You can apply a nourishing hair mask or conditioner to the ends of your hair, massage for a while to absorb the nutrients, and then rinse with warm water.
