How to strengthen hair at home: "resuscitation set" for colored, weak and thinning strands

You can diagnose excessive loss yourself. For home conditions, a simple test is suitable. Put your fingers in strands on the temples and behind the ears. Gently and slightly pull them up. If there are five to ten hairs left on your hands, then this is normal. New ones will grow on average in three months. But, if their number exceeds the specified norms, then there is a problem.

Natural updating of hair occurs constantly. If you see 10-15 small young hairs in the parting, there is nothing to worry about. We carry out general strengthening actions. In the absence of young hairs and a noticeable thinning of curls, we seek medical advice. Since this is one of the first signs of intense loss of strands and baldness.
