Blonde Henna: What It Is and How to Do It
Henna is the powder obtained from the dried leaves of a plant, Lawsonia Inermis , a thorny shrub that grows abundantly in areas of the world with hot, dry climates such as Africa, the Middle East and India. Lawsonia Inermis contains a colouring pigment in its leaves, lawsone , which dyes it an intense orange-red. Henna has been used since ancient times to color hair, dye fabrics and adorn the body with tattoos. This natural dye not only colors but is also very rich in nourishing, protective and invigorating substances for the skin and hair. Henna powder colors the hair by binding to the keratin, filling the hair scales which also become fuller! It is therefore perfect for those with very thin, fragile hair or split ends. Pure henna colors thanks to its pigment content, namely lawsone molecules, and dyes only and exclusively red. By binding to keratin, the result obtained will be different based on the starting color. But then what is blonde henna? Index What is blonde henna? Blonde Henna Recommended by Yumibio What is blonde henna The term henna has expanded to include all those natural hair dyeing herbs. The products defined as blonde henna, brown henna, black henna are called this way for convenience of language but in addition to pure henna they contain a mixture of dyeing herbs. The blond one will contain a small percentage of Lawsonia inermis to which other herbs will be added, such as Cassia obovata , also called neutral henna, rhubarb and chamomile and other plants that will give highlights to already blond or light hair, to intensify the colour. When making the compress, you can add other herbs and spices to the mixture such as saffron, ginger, turmeric and lemon which, due to their characteristics, make the color turn towards coppery and warm tones. We always recommend that you do some tests to see the result you can get on your hair. The lawsone molecule , contained only in pure henna and with an orange-red color, is the only one able to bind to the keratin of the hair and make the coloring permanent. Based on the percentage contained, the henna will be more or less long-lasting, even if by nature it tends to fade over time. We would like to point out that since it is not a chemical dye , blonde henna does not lighten hair, so it is suitable for reviving already blonde hair or giving a golden or coppery effect depending on the quantity of lawsonia it contains.

But then what is mahogany henna? Index What is Mahogany Henna How to prepare it Covers gray hair The best natural mahogany henna What is Mahogany Henna The term henna has expanded to include all those natural hair dyeing herbs. The products defined as blonde henna, brown henna, black henna are called this way for convenience of language but in addition to pure henna they contain a mixture of dyeing herbs. The mahogany one, available in its various shades, will contain a percentage of Lawsonia inermis to which other herbs will be added such as indigofera , also known as indigo, for a colder mahogany or katam, for a warmer mahogany. We always recommend that you do some tests to see the result you can get on your hair. The lawsone molecule, contained only in pure henna and with an orange-red color, is the only one able to bind to the hair keratin and make the coloring permanent. Based on the percentage contained, the henna will be more or less long-lasting, even if by nature it tends to fade with the passing of time. Never use dye mixtures containing Indigo if you have bleached hair because you risk obtaining a color that tends towards green! How to prepare it You can obtain a mahogany-colored herbal dye using herbs such as Indigo, Madder or Hibiscus for cool tones or Katam and sandalwood for warm tones to mix with Red Henna to fix the color to the hair and improve its hold over time. In fact, red henna is the only dyeing herb that can bind to the hair's keratin , thus ensuring that the color stays on the hair for a long time. If you prefer to avoid mixing the various herbs yourself to obtain mahogany tones, you can use one of the ready-made mixes available on the market, with herbs already mixed in the right proportions. To prepare mahogany henna with very warm and coppery tones, you can prepare the mixture with hot water adding lemon, hibiscus, tea and various infusions. The perfect water temperature is between 50° and 60°, to keep the colouring power intact and avoid excessively highlighting the copper/orange tones. Covers gray hair To cover gray hair and get a mahogany, there are various options. If you have a few gray hairs, you can apply mahogany henna directly to your natural base. Depending on the recipe you choose, the gray hair will remain lighter but will be able to blend well with the base; If you have a lot of white hair, if your natural base is very light or if you have bleached your hair , you need to do a two-step coloring : in the first step only red henna to pigment the hair and create a uniform base to the second step with your mix for the mahogany tones. In this case, you will need to prepare a first red henna, to be left on for at least 45-60 minutes, as always covered with a cap and towel to keep everything warm. Once this first application is finished, rinse with hot water, towel dry your hair well or dry it if you prefer and apply your mahogany henna. If you are more comfortable, you can also do the second step the next day! The double pass is not always necessary, there are hairs that are able to absorb the pigment better than others and have excellent results already with a single pass; later you can decide to do the double pass only on the regrowth touch-ups, so as to optimize and reduce the processing times! Important: if your natural base is blonde, natural, dyed or bleached, it is necessary to do a first pass with pure red henna, to avoid having strange greenish shades.

Henna: Frequently Asked Questions
Using henna and herbal dyes is a safe way to cover gray hair without damaging your hair. People often approach this world with the fear of unsatisfactory results, so I've compiled all your frequently asked questions about henna and herbal dyes into a single post to address some of the recurring concerns. If you have any other questions, I'd be happy to answer them in the comments or messages so we can clarify your concerns and expand our guide together! Index What is henna? What color can I get with henna? Henna on bleached or dyed hair After doing henna, can I go back to chemical dyes or bleach my hair? Does it cover gray hair? Can I lighten my hair with henna? Does henna dry out your hair? What does it mean that henna layers? How is it prepared? Why are acidic substances added to henna? Exposure time Can I use oil in henna? Can you get henna with a perm? Can you get a perm with henna? Does henna ruin your hair? Does henna smooth curly hair? Can I use metal tools with henna? Is it done on dry or wet hair? Is it done on clean or dirty hair? Is henna cleansing? After henna, can I not wash my hair for three days? Can I use conditioner when I remove henna? Does acid rinsing alter the color? After how many washes does the color fade? Should herbal dyes always be made with henna? Want to find out more about henna? What is henna? Henna is a dye powder obtained from the leaves of Lawsonia inermis. Henna is naturally rich in substances that nourish, add body, and shine to hair, as well as being very beneficial for the scalp. What color can I get with henna? Pure henna dyes exclusively red; the result varies depending on the starting color and will be more evident on white and light hair, while on dark hair, it will mainly produce highlights. On the market you can often find products called blonde henna, brown henna, black henna, etc., but they are actually mixes of dyeing herbs. Henna on bleached or dyed hair Yes, you can use henna on dyed or bleached hair, as long as you use pure henna without the addition of picramate. Keep in mind that the color you get on the bleached area will be different from the color on your natural base ; to be sure you get a result you like, test it on a strand of hair from the brush before proceeding with coloring all of your hair. If you want to use pure indigo or mixes that contain it, you will have to do a double pass on the bleached hair: indigo, in fact, dyes the hair blue and you could end up with unsightly green highlights! After doing henna, can I go back to chemical dyes or bleach my hair? Yes, but you'll be so happy with the results that you won't want to go back! In any case, if you used pure henna, there's no risk in going back to chemical dye. As for bleaching, it depends on the herbs you used: if you used only pure henna, you can bleach without any problems, but the final result you will get will not be blonde but coppery. Absolutely no bleaching if you have used indigo , as you could end up with green hair! Does it cover gray hair? Pure henna (lawsonia inermis) permanently covers gray hair, as it binds with the hair's keratin. The final result, on gray hair, will be a very intense coppery red, which, however, may not be to everyone's taste. In these cases, simply mix pure henna with other dyeing herbs, such as Katam or Indigo, which will help tone down the red, giving your hair shades of brown, chocolate, or mahogany. If you have a lot of gray hair or if you want very intense dark tones , such as black/blue, raven or aubergine, it is necessary to proceed with a two-phase coloring: in a first phase we will cover the gray hairs using only pure lawsonia, to be left on for at least two hours. After rinsing, we can apply pure katam or indigo to achieve a more intense color. My advice is to use a percentage of Lawsonia for this second step as well, to help the color set better. Can I lighten my hair with henna? No, herbal dyes cannot lighten hair. There are several methods for achieving gradual, natural, tone-on-tone lightening. Does henna dry out your hair? Henna absorbs excess sebum and is excellent for oily scalps; on normal or dry hair, it can cause a drying effect, but this can be easily countered by adding a hydrating gel to the mixture or applying a light, oil-free conditioner after rinsing. What does it mean that henna layers? With repeated applications, henna tends to build up in layers within the hair and darken the color. This is perfect if you want dark, cool tones, but if you prefer warmer tones, you should avoid layering. To avoid layering, simply use pure henna on your roots to cover regrowth and treat your lengths only every two months. Another method is to use a different blend for your lengths, with a high percentage of cassia to tone down the henna's dyeing power, or to mix henna with a mask or conditioner to create a sherazade. How is it prepared? Henna is prepared by mixing the right amount of powder with hot, not boiling, water. The ideal temperature is between 50 and 70 degrees: this will allow the henna to release the dye pigments optimally. The right consistency for the mixture is that of yogurt, smooth and without lumps. A batter that is too thick could lead to uneven results, while one that is too liquid could drip everywhere, making application uncomfortable. Why are acidic substances added to henna? Some say that acidic substances help release more pigment and therefore make the henna more coloring. However, these are not necessary ingredients, since a good quality powder releases the color simply thanks to hot water. The addition of acidic substances could alter the tone of the henna, making it turn brick red. Personally, I don't use any acids in the mixture because I have a sensitive scalp and don't like having acids in contact with my skin for many hours. However, some people prefer the color obtained in an acidic environment, so you just have to experiment to find out which method works best for your hair. If you use indigo , the mixture does not need to be acidified, as these herbs work best in a basic environment: you can add a teaspoon of salt or bicarbonate of soda to the water you use to prepare the mixture, to obtain very intense dark tones. Exposure time There are several factors that determine the exposure time, first and foremost patience! A good quality henna dyes hair after just 2 hours of application, but it is possible to wait longer to obtain more intense colors. There are those who continue the application for several hours, doing night-time poses of up to 8 or 9 hours. If you're new to henna, I advise against leaving it on for such a long time, as you might end up with a color that's too intense or you might find that your skin is particularly sensitive to the preparation. Start with a short processing time: 90 minutes/2 hours will be more than enough to understand how your hair reacts to natural pigments and, if you feel the need, you can gradually increase the processing time. From personal experience, I recommend not leaving it on for more than 4 hours, choosing more frequent applications if you prefer to intensify the color. Can I use oil in henna? I don't recommend it because the oil forms a film on the hair and limits the effectiveness of the mask and dye. However, some women have noticed greater color release when adding oil to the paste. If you want to experiment, I recommend using a spoonful of jojoba oil and seeing how your henna behaves! Can you get henna with a perm? Yes, no problem! Can you get a perm with henna? Yes, no problem! Does henna ruin your hair? Exactly the opposite! Henna makes them more beautiful, strong, and full-bodied! Does henna smooth curly hair? Henna makes hair a little thicker, but it doesn't straighten curls! In fact, it tames and defines them! Can I use metal tools with henna? Yes, you can safely use your stainless steel kitchen utensils. Is it done on dry or wet hair? You can use henna on both dry and wet hair. It's easier to apply the mixture to damp hair, especially if you have a lot of hair or very curly hair. If you suffer from migraines, neck pain, or other problems, I recommend applying henna to dry hair. Is it done on clean or dirty hair? Better clean because, like oils, sebum could hinder the release of color. Is henna cleansing? No, because it doesn't contain saponins. If you wash your hair often and want to try a more gentle cleansing, you can consult our After henna, can I not wash my hair for three days? No, that's not true. You can wash your hair with shampoo. In reality, it's usually not necessary because if you washed your hair just before using henna, it's sufficient. Can I use conditioner when I remove henna? Yes, it will help you detangle your hair and remove any residual dust. Does acid rinsing alter the color? No, not at all! The acid rinse helps close the hair cuticles and make it softer and shinier. After how many washes does the color fade? Henna binds to keratin and is therefore permanent. You will have a faded and washed out color over time, but it will not go away. Should herbal dyes always be made with henna? Yes, if we want to make them long-lasting because the lawsonia contained only in henna is the only one capable of binding to the keratin of the hair.

How to choose hair products
This is an article dedicated to the first steps in the organic world : I'll talk to you about how to choose organic hair care products , to get the best results, without waste. You are on the Yumibio blog, where you can find hundreds of articles based on our experience with organic cosmetics, written to help you make targeted and informed purchases. In our shop you will find all the products I am talking about, you can buy them in total safety and receive them at your home by express courier Index How to choose organic products Which organic products to buy Organic shampoo Organic conditioner or organic mask Leave in and styling products How to choose organic products The first step to using organic cosmetics is towards your bathroom cabinet! Rule One: Zero Waste Read the labels of the products you already have at home , they all have a list of ingredients. Some of these, although safe, are not used in organic cosmetics and are replaced by other ingredients of natural origin. Reading labels can be tricky at first , but it will help you become familiar with common cosmetic ingredients and, over time, you will learn which ingredients your skin and hair particularly like and which ones are not for you. Even though the temptation to clean out is strong, the first rule of Yumibio is: zero waste ! Finish the products you already have at home: if there are a lot of them or if they are no longer suitable for you, you can give them away or use them for new purposes. Did you know that shampoo is also excellent as a body cleanser or for delicate clothes, while conditioner is an excellent alternative hair wash? Which organic products to buy While you finish your old products, you can already think about the new ones! Among organic cosmetics you will find many different products, rich in active ingredients that take care of your hair; at first they will all seem indispensable and you will discover that some of these products will really make the difference. However, I advise you not to buy many products right away, but to start with a few products, perhaps versatile and multipurpose. In the first few weeks of switching to organic cosmetics, you may in fact discover that your hair is different from what you thought : this happens because some ingredients in traditional cosmetics create a film on the hair that - in the long run - can weigh it down and make it appear different from what it actually is. To get started you will need: Organic shampoo Shampoo should be chosen based on the needs of your skin. I recommend starting with a delicate shampoo , also suitable for frequent washing: this will help you understand the real condition of your scalp. Later on, you can then add a shampoo for dry hair or a shampoo for greasy hair, with specific active ingredients for your needs. An excellent example of a shampoo to start your natural hair routine in the best way is the Delicate Shampoo by Yu ! Extra tip : also buy a shampoo dispenser . Organic shampoos produce less foam than traditional ones and you may be tempted to use more product than necessary. I therefore recommend that you dilute the shampoo (for medium-length hair, 10 ml of shampoo and 30 ml of water are sufficient), so that you can distribute it more easily on your hair, avoiding waste. Organic conditioner or organic mask These are products that are used after shampooing to untangle hair and remove knots ; they are always enriched with specific active ingredients and should be chosen based on the needs of the length of the hair. The mask is richer than the conditioner and should be left on for a few minutes (better if at least 5-10) to benefit from its active ingredients. A great product to start with is the Yuniwa Cosmetics mask : it detangles even the most unruly hair and is rich in illuminating and strengthening active ingredients. This makes it perfect for the first periods, when hair may appear duller, drier and more opaque. Plus, it has a super-cuddly scent of pears and vanilla, which has made many of our customers fall in love! Leave in and styling products These are products that are applied after rinsing out the mask or conditioner and are used to style the hair or to combat frizz or to protect it from the heat of the hairdryer . These products should be chosen based on the needs of your lengths: if you have curly hair you will need products to define and shape them, if you have frizzy hair you will need an anti-frizz product, if you have dry and treated hair you will instead need a restructuring product. When choosing a product, also consider the consistency: sprays and gels are usually lighter and also suitable for fine hair that gets dirty easily . If, on the other hand, you have dry and damaged hair, a cream or oil that provides more nourishment is better . {"layoutMobile":2,"layoutDesktop":3,"buttonAlign":"Center","buttonText":"Go to product","productTitle":{"hue":213,"saturation":0,"brightness":0,"alpha":1},"priceColor":{"hue":0,"saturation":1,"brightness":0},"discountPrice":{"hue":356,"saturation":0.74,"brightness":1},"buttonCo lor":{"hue":26.67,"saturation":0.037,"brightness":0.9529,"alpha":1},"textBottomColor":{"hue":0,"satu ration":0,"brightness":0.018750000000000044,"alpha":1},"activeTitleButton":false,"moreProduct":"View all","moreProductUrl":"cesbgg-kq.myshopify.com","rowNumber":1,"dynamicProductId":[{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14977480589698","title":"Hair Filler - Siero rimpolpante per capelli 50 ml","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"13.90","compareAtPrice":null,"imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/hair-filler-siero-rimpolpante-per-capelli-50-ml-yuniwa-cosmetics-371.webp?v=1752506091&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/hair-filler-siero-rimpolpante-per-capelli-50-ml","altImage":"Hair Filler - Siero rimpolpante per capelli 50 ml - Yuniwa Cosmetics"},{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14977476723074","title":"Hair Booster - Spray Rinforzante per capelli 50 ml","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"13.90","compareAtPrice":null,"imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/hair-booster-spray-rinforzante-per-capelli-50-ml-yuniwa-cosmetics-652.webp?v=1752487266&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/hair-booster-spray-rinforzante-per-capelli-50-ml","altImage":"Hair Booster - Spray Rinforzante per capelli 50 ml - Yuniwa Cosmetics"},{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14977193148802","title":"Crema Rinforzante per Capelli","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"15.90","compareAtPrice":null,"imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/crema-rinforzante-per-capelli-yuniwa-cosmetics-yumibio-577.webp?v=1752484599&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/crema-rinforzante-per-capelli","altImage":"Crema Rinforzante per Capelli - Yuniwa Cosmetics"},{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14977193083266","title":"Impacco Rinforzante per Capelli","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"15.90","compareAtPrice":null,"imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/impacco-rinforzante-per-capelli-yuniwa-cosmetics-yumibio-528.webp?v=1752494704&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/impacco-rinforzante-per-capelli","altImage":"Impacco Rinforzante per Capelli - Yuniwa Cosmetics"},{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14977484325250","title":"Gel Modellante per Capelli - 200 ml","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"16.90","compareAtPrice":null,"imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/gel-modellante-per-capelli-200-ml-yuniwa-cosmetics-yumibio-871.webp?v=1752491868&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/gel-modellante-per-capelli-200-ml","altImage":"Gel Modellante per Capelli - 200 ml - Yuniwa Cosmetics"}],"typeSearch":"product","device":"desktop","decimalsPrice":2,"aspectRatio":"3 / 4","isAutoPlay":false,"isNavigation":false,"isPriceDisplay":false,"rowDynamic":"mot","activeDecimals":false,"hidden":false,"locked":false,"positionPrice":false,"currencyCodeCustom":"$","activeDynamicProd":true,"blockName":"Product"} Hair Filler - Siero rimpolpante per capelli 50 ml EUR 13.90 Go to product Hair Booster - Spray Rinforzante per capelli 50 ml EUR 13.90 Go to product Crema Rinforzante per Capelli EUR 15.90 Go to product Impacco Rinforzante per Capelli EUR 15.90 Go to product Gel Modellante per Capelli - 200 ml EUR 16.90 Go to product Want to continue learning all about natural hair care?

How to care for your hair in summer: 7 tips for healthy hair.
Taking care of your hair in summer is important to have healthy and shiny hair when you return from vacation! Sun, wind, salt or chlorine can make them dry and brittle but by following our tips for healthy hair, you can keep their natural beauty intact! Index Postpone hair color change Care for colored hair Choose soft hairstyles Protect your hair Always rinse your hair Hair restructuring treatment Try giving up the hair dryer Postpone hair color change Do you feel it's time for a change of color? It might be better to wait ! If you're thinking of a drastic change, postpone your hairdresser appointment for a few weeks. After a color change, your hair needs time and care to regain its vitality and it's best not to stress it too much before the holidays. This is especially true if you plan to lighten your hair: the sun has a lightening effect and you risk the dye fading over time. Your red might turn orange and your blonde might turn yellow sooner than expected, so why not wait? Care of colored hair Colored and treated hair needs specific treatments all year round and especially in summer, due to the lightening power of the sun. By using a shampoo (and maybe a mask) specific to your hair type, you keep the color alive for longer, prevent it from fading sooner than expected and combat dry hair. I recommend the Yu Gentle Shampoo for all hair types , a cleanser rich in hydrating , soothing and emollient ingredients, with very delicate surfactants that effectively cleanse the scalp and hair, while fully respecting the hydrolipidic film. It is also excellent thanks to its anti-frizz action and its ability to keep dryness and irritation at bay. Perfect for frequent use , it is ready to accompany your summer hair routine with delicacy and effectiveness! Pair it with YU's Disciplining Mask Conditioner , a 2in1 cosmetic, perfect for your hair routine on holiday, which allows you to have a complete treatment for your hair in just one bottle. Used as a conditioner after shampoo, it effectively detangles hair and restores the hair's pH, ensuring softness and shine. Use it as a post-shampoo mask , extending the application time from 3-4 minutes to 15 minutes, to obtain a more intense nourishing, hydrating, anti-frizz action. Choose soft hairstyles Buns are essential for dealing with the heat, but I recommend avoiding high ponytails, chignons and tight buns that pull your hair, damaging it from root to tip. You prefer low ponytails, soft braids, messy updos that softly frame your face. To put even less stress on your hair, replace the classic elastic bands with hair bands , fabric hair ties or clips . Protect your hair When you are at the beach or walking in the sun, remember to protect your scalp with hats or bandanas . To protect the lengths you can instead use a heat protectant to protect the hair from the heat. You can also use it when you come back from the beach, to protect your hair from the heat of the hairdryer ! My favorite is the Esmeralda Cosmetics heat protector , in the summer version that smells of the Sardinian sea and illuminates your hair with golden shimmers. Always rinse your hair Always rinse your hair with fresh water after swimming in the sea or pool: salt and chlorine dry out your hair and this leads to frizz and breakage. Rinse thoroughly, without rubbing, and then complete your routine at home by washing your hair with a hydrating post-beach shampoo. : removes salt and hydrates hair and scalp. Hair restructuring treatment To restructure your hair, use a serum with keratin, proteins, biotin and peptides to plump the hair fiber and restructure it thoroughly. You can try the Yuniwa Cosmetics Hair Filler plumping serum , a panacea for fragile and lifeless hair. Try giving up the hair dryer For the well-being of your hair , try to do without the hairdryer : air drying does not stress your hair and also helps you avoid frizz! If you don't want to give up curls , try a heat-free styling method, such as the band method . Now that you know how to take care of your hair in summer, don't miss our guide to winter hair care ! If you want to have healthy and beautiful hair, in a natural way, continue reading our articles in the Hair - Guides and tutorials section! [ApSC sc_key=sc3148331291][/ApSC]

Hair loss: tips and natural remedies
Hair loss is a natural and physiological process: every day we lose between 40 and 120 hairs, but don't panic, it's all normal. This hair loss is in fact part of the hair renewal cycle and, under normal conditions, the hair that falls out is replaced by new hair in the growth phase. In spring and autumn, however, we may notice greater hair loss: this is seasonal hair loss, where we can lose up to 200 hairs a day. This, too, is a physiological phenomenon that tends to disappear on its own within a few weeks. Index Why does hair fall out? Causes of hair loss Natural remedies for hair loss Anti-hair loss compresses Why does hair fall out? Hair has a life cycle that lasts from 2 to 6 years, during which it grows and develops within the hair follicle. In the final months of life, the hair stops growing and enters a "resting phase." At the end of this cycle, the hair is pushed away by the new hair growing underneath it, in the same follicle. A true continuous renewal, in which every hair that falls out is replaced by a new one that grows! At certain times of the year, the shedding is more conspicuous: this is a reminder of our ancestral life, which recalls the shedding of animals' fur and, if you have a dog or cat at home, you know well what I'm talking about! Seasonal shedding occurs twice a year, in autumn between September and November and in spring between April and May. Causes of hair loss As I mentioned, under normal conditions, hair loss is not a cause for concern because growing hair replaces the hair that falls out. However, there may be factors that prevent natural replacement, leading to more abundant loss or slower regrowth. Factors that can influence hair loss include: genetic predisposition; period of physical or psychological stress ; post-pregnancy and breastfeeding; drastic and unbalanced diets , with mineral deficiencies; hormonal changes; very heavy menstrual cycle ; skin conditions, such as seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis; thyroid diseases ; frequent bleaching, incorrect use of hair dryers and straighteners; smoke; trichotillomania, a disorder that leads to uncontrolled hair pulling; If you notice particularly heavy hair loss, with areas of thinning hair or areas prone to alopecia, the first advice is to see a doctor. A trichologist is a doctor who specializes in treating hair problems and will be able to recommend the right treatments for your situation. Natural remedies for hair loss Precisely because hair loss is a completely natural phenomenon, there are no methods to stop it permanently. What we can do, however, is keep our body and scalp healthy, so as to help our hair follicles produce strong, healthy hair. The best way to have strong, healthy hair is to start with your diet: eat a balanced diet and choose foods rich in vitamins A, E, C, and minerals. Drink plenty of fluids and don't forget to include seasonal fruits and vegetables in your diet.

If you have very light hair, be careful; it may darken slightly. Brahmi strengthens roots and makes hair thicker and more resistant. Use as a pre-shampoo pack and leave on for at least an hour. Maka , ideal for use with Brahmi powder. This way, in addition to improving the health of your scalp and hair roots, you'll also strengthen your hair follicles! Fenugreek (methi) , excellent as a hair loss treatment and moisturizer. Preparation takes a bit longer, but the end result will be worth the wait! Caution: Fenugreek should not be used during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or if you have thyroid problems. There are also household ingredients you can use for your anti-hair loss compresses, such as brewer's yeast, rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Simply dissolve a cube of brewer's yeast in a little warm water, apply it to your roots, and let it sit for at least 30 minutes before rinsing. You can add castor oil or avocado oil to this hair loss treatment to enhance its strengthening effect. Another household ingredient you can use to make anti-hair loss compresses is rosemary: steep a sprig in boiling water for 7-8 minutes. Strain the mixture, let it cool, and apply it to clean hair as a final rinse after shampooing, letting it sit for 15 minutes before styling and drying. Rosemary has a strengthening and shine-enhancing effect, leaving your hair soft and shiny! Don't have time to prepare the infusion? Simply spray a few sprays of rosemary hydrosol directly onto your roots, even in the days following shampooing. Your questions about hair loss Is it normal to lose hair every day? Yes, it's a physiological phenomenon. On average, we lose 40 to 120 hairs a day. During seasonal changes, shedding can temporarily increase to around 200 hairs, without necessarily indicating a problem. When does hair loss become a concern? If the hair loss is sudden, very heavy, lasts more than 2-3 months, or you notice visible thinning in some areas, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist or trichologist to evaluate the causes. What are the most common causes of hair loss? Among the main ones we find: genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, stress, pregnancy and breastfeeding, drastic diets, seasonal changes, aggressive treatments (bleaching, straightening, hot hair dryers) and unhealthy lifestyles (smoking, lack of sleep, unbalanced diet). Are there natural remedies to strengthen hair? Yes, you can use natural lotions, serums, compresses, and shampoos with ingredients like amla, brahmi, fenugreek, caffeine, rosemary, and spirulina. These active ingredients help stimulate microcirculation and strengthen the hair follicle. Climate changes and seasonal changes contribute to hair loss.

How to protect your hair from the cold
With the first cold weather have you noticed that your hair is drier , with broken ends and seems to get dirty more quickly? In this article I talk to you about the effects of cold on hair and I explain how to pamper your hair when temperatures drop. Index Why the cold ruins your hair How to protect your hair from the cold Natural remedies to protect hair from the cold Why the cold ruins your hair In the cold , hair undergoes various types of stress that can make it appear drier and more damaged. The cold acts on the hydrolipidic film of the hair, making it thicker and making the hair stiff, dry and with split ends. Wind can also cause knots and worsen frizz, especially if you have wavy or curly hair. Wind can also increase rubbing between your hair , especially if you are used to leaving it loose; rubbing can damage the hair cuticles, making them more fragile and split ends can appear. To the damage caused by the climate, are added those of smog and pollution , which make hair dull and damaged. How to protect your hair from the cold To protect your hair from the cold and keep it soft and healthy, here are a few simple tips to follow: Don't overdo it with washing : washing your hair too frequently or with products that are too aggressive can weaken your hair and make it dry and arid. To protect my hair from the cold, my favorite wash is co-wash , which cleanses my hair without attacking it. If you don't have the patience to use a co-wash and prefer a simpler product to use, I recommend preparing a mix with 10 ml of Shampoo Gel , 10 ml of Strengthening Pack , 10 ml of Rosemary Hydrolate . Mix to emulsify the ingredients well and apply to wet skin. This is a very delicate, super-hydrating and strengthening cleansing mix ! avoid high temperatures : excessive heat damages hair and scalp. Do not use too hot water when washing your hair, set the hair dryer to medium temperature and speed, reduce the use of straighteners and curling irons as much as possible! use a hat : a hat protects your hair from wind, humidity and pollution. Use a hat made of natural fibres that does not tighten on your head so as not to hinder circulation. Natural remedies to protect hair from the cold To combat dryness, increase the pampering for your hair. If you love herbs , go for those rich in mucilage like fenugreek and marshmallow. Combine them with hydrating ingredients like gel and honey, so as to counteract the dryness caused by herbs. If you prefer a ready-made product , choose a restructuring conditioner or a restructuring mask , which helps you nourish your hair and keep it healthy. You can also choose a leave-in with a protective and plumping action, such as Hair Filler Yuniwa Cosmetics , a light milk, rich in nourishing, strengthening, plumping and protective active ingredients for lengths and ends. Pre-shampoo packs with vegetable oils are excellent, perfect for dry and damaged lengths and ends. Wet your hair, pour a few drops of oil into the palm of your hand and apply it to your hair. Cover with a cap and leave on for at least 40 minutes before shampooing. You can also apply the oil on your scalp and you can take advantage of it to do a scalp massage that stimulates microcirculation for healthier and shinier hair. All vegetable oils have nourishing and protective properties, but you can choose the oil that best suits your needs: Argan oil : nourishing and protective, gives shine and softness. Excellent for fragile and dry hair, thanks to the high content of fatty acids and vitamins. Jojoba Oil : Light and versatile, you can use it even if you have oily hair. It combats dry ends, but also helps balance sebum production. Avocado oil : super-nourishing, perfect if you have very dry, dull and brittle hair. Castor oil : very nourishing, you can also use it to massage the scalp as it is useful for combating hair loss.
