Hair care lesson by Hama-chan (vol.2) How to solve the problems of volume loss, frizziness and dry hair?
July 4, 2013
Last lesson, Hama-chan, Mr. Hamaguchi from Cura hair salon, taught us what are the problems and their reasons.
Today, he will talk about solving problems caused by bad blood circulation.
Previously he explained that bad blood circulation causes volume loss, frizziness, and dry hair. When blood circulation is deteriorated, it stops to give enough nutrition to the hair root where cell division is created. As a result, hair gets thinner and loses healthiness.
Yumi:
How can we get blood circulation better?
Hama-chan:
The best way is head spa. Having head spa makes scalp softer which accelerate blood circulation. I recommend doing scalp massage while doing shampoo. The way to do it, is washing scalp rather than washing hair, not with nails but with finger cushion.
Yumi:
Beside head spa and massage, is there any other way to solve the problem?
Hama-chan:
I will explain the way to solve different problem with the chart.
Yumi:
What is the treatment to make hair firmer?
Hama-chan:
This is so called “in-bath treatment” when you wash away the hair treatment. It adds similar component parts to hair.
Yumi:
For dull hair, shall we use hair treatment for improve brightness?
Hama-chan:
Yes, this type of treatment product contains a macromolecular substance which affects the surface of hair. By smoothing the surface, it reflects the light and looks brighter.
Yumi:
I am quite surprised that straight perm is good for frizzy hair. For women in their 40s and 50s, in general they want to increase their hair volume, so straight perm will decrease the hair volume.
Hama-chan:
In fact, there is straight perm which makes the hair surface smoother without reducing the volume of hair. Women in their 40s often have problem of bad hair texture. There are two reasons; first one is due to the damaged hair, another one is due to frizzy hair. By solving the problem of frizzy hair, the hair looks shinny and texture becomes smoother and nicer.
Yumi:
What kind of straight perm should they use?
Hama-chan:
The first one is straight perm which makes the surface smoother and has the best effect. The second one is straight perm which affects surface and midway of hair. The third one is straight perm which affects the heart of hair.
Yumi:
Can we find those kind of hair treatment at any hair salon?
Hama-chan:
You should go to hair salon which says they are specialized in straight perm.
Yumi:
Thank you for your lecture today.
