Main hair problems: causes and care tips from barbers

Beautiful and well-groomed hair is an important component of appearance and self-confidence. However, many people face various problems, such as static electricity, excessive oiliness, dandruff or hair loss. These difficulties can be caused by external factors, lifestyle or health. In this article, the masters of the Tsirulnik chain of barbershops will analyze the main causes and offer proven solutions for each of the problems.

Hair becomes electrified and is difficult to style

Most often, hair begins to become electrified in winter, and there are several objective reasons for this. One of the main ones is wearing hats, which create friction between the hair and fabric, causing the accumulation of static electricity. Particularly strong electrification occurs if the headdress is made of synthetic materials that actively interact with the hair, enhancing the effect.

In addition, the winter air in the rooms becomes dry due to the operation of heating devices, which deprives the hair of natural moisture. Lack of moisture makes them more susceptible to the accumulation of charge. As a result, the hair not only becomes electrified, but also loses its manageability, making styling difficult. This creates considerable inconvenience, especially if you strive for a neat hairstyle or want to maintain a well-groomed appearance throughout the day. To minimize the problem of electrification, follow these recommendations:

• Use gentle shampoos and nourishing balms;
• Rinse your hair with warm water, avoiding hot water;
• Replace plastic combs with wooden ones;
• Drink at least 1.5 liters of water daily.

These simple steps will help keep your hair moisturized and make styling easier even in the cold season. Let us remind you that you can get a professional styling or a quality haircut at the barbershop in Obolon or another branch of our network in Kyiv or Brovary.

Hair gets dirty quickly

Excessive oiliness of hair is one of the most common problems, especially among men. This is due to the active work of the sebaceous glands, which produce sebum. In men, testosterone levels play an important role, stimulating increased secretion, which is why hair quickly becomes oily. This type of hair requires a special approach, as excess sebum not only makes the hair look untidy, but can also create favorable conditions for dandruff or scalp irritation.

Additional factors that aggravate the problem are poor hair care and nutrition habits. For example, frequent washing of the hair with hot water stimulates the sebaceous glands to work even more actively. Also, fatty, fried and sweet foods contribute to increased sebum production. As a result, the hair loses its fresh appearance faster, and the problem requires a comprehensive approach, including changes in diet, moderate use of shampoos and the correct temperature when washing the hair.

Tips for caring for oily hair:

• Wash your hair as it gets dirty, using warm water;
• Reduce the consumption of fatty, fried and sweet foods;
• If there is no improvement, consult a trichologist.

A balanced diet and proper hair care habits will help maintain its freshness and attractiveness.

Dandruff in men

Dandruff in men can be caused by both dry scalp and excessive sebum secretion. This condition is accompanied by itching, irritation, and the appearance of white flakes, which creates discomfort and worsens the appearance.

To combat dandruff, it is recommended to:

• Use natural remedies such as tea tree oil or coconut oil;
• Use lemon balm or green tea decoctions to soothe the skin;
• Consult a specialist if the problem persists.

Properly selected care products will help get rid of dandruff and restore the health of the scalp.

Hair loss in men

Alopecia can begin at the age of 25-35 and requires the attention of specialists. The causes of hair loss in men can be stress, poor nutrition, hormonal imbalances, or hereditary factors. There are several main types of hair loss:

• Diffuse: uniform loss associated with stress, diet, or hormones;
• Androgenetic: a hereditary form that often requires hair transplantation;
• Focal: autoimmune, with unpredictable causes.

If you notice increased hair loss, do not delay visiting a doctor. A trichologist will help determine the cause and choose the appropriate treatment.
