"Oh, this potato is too hard to cut!" Li Tao was preparing a weekend meal in the kitchen on this lazy weekend morning.
Just as he was immersed in the pleasure of cutting vegetables, he was not paying attention, and the sharp blade slashed through his index finger, leaving a bright red wound.
Drops of blood fell on the white tiles, and Li Tao immediately pressed his fingers against the wound and decided to go to a nearby pharmacy to buy a band-aid.
Li Tao is a bank manager, and he has always lived a regular and healthy life.
While picking up a band-aid at the pharmacy, he noticed that a lecture on "healthy lifestyle habits" was being held in the pharmacy.
The lecture was conducted by a local doctor and just happened to talk about how to wash your hair healthily and its importance.
Li Tao thought that this topic was quite interesting, and it happened to be related to the itchy scalp he had felt recently, so he decided to stay and listen carefully.
The doctor first mentioned that washing hair several times a week is a concern for many people. He explains that everyone's hair and scalp type is different, so the most suitable frequency of hair washing will also vary.
But in general, the frequency of washing your hair should be adjusted according to the individual's scalp oil production. For most adults, washing their hair 2 to 3 times a week is appropriate.
Then, the doctor gave four suggestions for the hair washing habits of the elderly:
Choose the right shampoo: Our scalps become sensitive as we age, like a newborn doll.
Therefore, choosing a shampoo should be the same as picking vegetables, choosing the kind that is mild and less irritating. This shampoo has few chemical ingredients and little irritation to the scalp, so it is comfortable to wash and safe to use.
Moderate water temperature: When it comes to washing your hair, the water temperature is crucial. Washing with too hot water, as hot as bath water, the scalp can't stand it, and the hair is easy to "scare" out. It is best to use warm water, which feels almost like our body temperature, which is comfortable and does not hurt the scalp.
Be gentle: Don't try too hard when washing your hair, just like petting a pet. Too much force will make the hair break and fall faster, so wash it gently to keep the hair on the head quietly.
Be careful with dry hair: After washing your hair, don't rub it as hard as you would wipe the table, pat it gently with your hands to dry the water, or gently wrap your hair with a towel to absorb water, so that your hair will naturally say goodbye to moisture.
If you use a hair dryer, remember to use cold air, keep an arm's length away, the hot air is too close and it is easy to hurt the scalp, and our hair is like bread in the oven, too close and easy to burn.
Li Tao was very helpful with this information, as he noticed that his scalp had been dry recently, perhaps due to improper shampooing. After listening to the doctor's explanation, he began to rethink his hair washing habits.
In addition to the advice on washing your hair, the doctor also explains why these details are so important with some specific patient cases.
For example, an elderly patient with mild dermatitis had an exacerbation due to improper use of shampoo products and overheated water temperatures.
By changing the shampoo product and adjusting the way he washes his hair, the patient's scalp condition has improved significantly.
In the modern world, there is an increased focus on beauty and personal hygiene, but why is there still a general low level of awareness about scalp care?
A detailed analysis of this shows that although there are many types of shampoos and hair care products on the market, there is a relative lack of knowledge about how to use these products correctly.
In addition, the importance of scalp health is often overlooked, and people focus more on the appearance of their hair than on its health.
Proper hair washing habits and scalp care knowledge are the keys to improving the overall scalp health of society.
