✨ Introduction

It is only in the last few years that I have been able to say from the bottom of my heart, "I am so glad I have continued hair care for over 20 years."🌟

I have loved hair since I was young, which is why I chose to become a hairdresser. Even while working as a professional, I have never missed a day of caring for my own hair.💪 What started as a feeling of "this seems good" has, after 20 years, become something I can truly feel as a definite change.✨

In this blog, I will introduce 10 things I have realized are "truly great!" after continuing hair care for over 20 years.🌸 If you are worried and thinking, "Is it too late to start now?", please rest assured. It is never too late to start caring for your hair. I hope you will use this as a reference and incorporate it into your daily routine.💕

1. 🪮 Never skipped daily brushing

Among the care routines I have continued for over 20 years, the simplest and most effective one is "daily brushing."✨

Brushing has the effect of promoting blood circulation in the scalp, distributing sebum evenly throughout the hair, and detangling hair to prevent damage caused by friction.💡 Just by brushing carefully every night before bed, you can gain so many benefits.🌟

Now, after 20 years of doing this, I feel that the shine and texture of my hair are clearly different compared to people of my generation.😊 I am often asked, "Are you doing something special?", but my answer is always, "I'm just brushing my hair every day." I have experienced firsthand that consistency is the greatest form of care.💪

2. 💨 I continued to use my hair dryer correctly

You might have the impression that "hair dryers are bad for your hair," but in fact, if used correctly, a hair dryer can be a great ally for your hair🌟

For over 20 years, I have followed three rules when using a hair dryer: "keep it at least 20cm away," "dry from the roots," and "finish with a blast of cool air."✅ By continuing this, the cuticles are easier to align, and I have been able to maintain a state where my hair is prone to shine for many years✨

There was a time when I chose to air-dry, but I learned from experience that spending time with damp hair makes it easy for bacteria to breed on the scalp, which conversely worsens the scalp environment😅 I feel that the habit of "diligently drying with a hair dryer even when it's a hassle" supports the current state of my hair💕

3. 🌿 I made leave-in oil care a habit

I have continued the habit of applying leave-in hair oil before using a hair dryer for over 20 years🌟 At first, I was worried that "it might get heavy if I apply too much," but by sticking to the appropriate amount, I had no such worries at all, and instead, I felt my hair quality improve year by year✨

Leave-in oil has the effect of protecting hair from heat damage and coating the surface of the hair to protect it from humidity and dryness🛡️ I feel the effects of this care especially strongly during the rainy season and in winter when dryness is a concern💪

Comparing my hair from 20 years ago to now, I can clearly see that there is significantly less damage to the ends of my hair😊 This habit taught me that a little bit of daily effort makes a big difference in the long run🌸

4. 💆‍♀️ I continued scalp massages

For over 20 years, I have performed scalp massages every time I shampooed🌟 At first, I was skeptical, wondering "does this really work?", but as I continued, I began to feel the difference in scalp firmness and hair density💪

Scalp massage has the effect of promoting blood circulation and making it easier to deliver nutrients to the hair roots, so by continuing it, you can maintain a scalp environment where healthy hair is easy to grow🌱 I feel that the reason my hair volume is maintained even in my 40s and 50s is thanks to this massage habit✨

I feel that massaging the top of the head and the hairline in particular is effective in preventing thinning hair and hair loss🙌 The 2 to 3 minutes during shampooing is precious time to protect your future hair💕

5. 🛒 I continued to be particular about my shampoo

There was a time when I thought "all shampoos are the same," but by continuing to choose a shampoo that suited my scalp type for over 20 years, I have had almost no scalp problems🌟

Especially since my 30s, I have started choosing low-irritation shampoos that use amino acid-based cleansing ingredients, and since then, scalp itching and dryness have decreased significantly✅ Because shampoo is something you use every day, I feel that being particular about the ingredients leads to long-term scalp health💡

Also, using different shampoos depending on the season has been a habit for 20 years🌸 By switching to a refreshing type from the rainy season to summer and a moisturizing type in autumn and winter, I have been able to keep scalp problems caused by the seasons to almost zero✨

6. ☀️ I took UV protection measures every year

As a result of continuing UV protection for my hair for over 20 years, I realize that I have been able to maintain the shine and color retention of my hair longer than my peers🌟

Ultraviolet rays break down hair proteins and cause dryness, fading, and split ends☀️ Especially from spring to summer, I have made it a habit to use a hair-specific UV spray in addition to hats and parasols🛡️

As a result of continuing to care for my hair without accumulating UV damage for 20 years, the firmness and shine of my hair have been maintained for many years✨ The state of my hair is clearly different from when I thought "UV care is only for the skin." Please try incorporating it starting today💪

7. 💈 Continued to receive regular salon care

I feel that not neglecting to receive regular salon care for over 20 years has been one of my biggest investments🌟

By having a professional regularly maintain the parts that home care cannot cover, it becomes harder for hair damage to accumulate✨ Also, by having your regular hairdresser check the condition of your hair periodically, you can notice and address small changes early💡

I understand the feeling that "salons are a luxury," but now that I have been doing it for 20 years, I am convinced that those efforts have built the health of my hair today💕 I feel that regular professional care is one of the most cost-effective investments🏆

8. 🍎 Prioritized diet and sleep

For over 20 years, I have been conscious of the quality of my diet and sleep🌙 It is my belief that "hair is made from what you eat and how you sleep"💪

I have been conscious of eating a balanced diet of protein, minerals, and vitamins, and have actively incorporated foods rich in zinc, iron, and biotin in particular🥦🐟 Also, since hair cells are repaired by growth hormones secreted during sleep, high-quality sleep is essential for hair health✨

I learned from 20 years of experience that "there is a limit to care from the outside alone"🌟 By combining care from the inside and care from the outside, a synergistic effect is created, and the overall quality of the hair is raised💕

9. 😌 Remained conscious of stress management

Having experienced firsthand the impact stress has on hair for 20 years, I strongly realize the importance of stress management🌿

When under excessive stress, the autonomic nervous system becomes unbalanced, leading to poor blood circulation in the scalp or excessive sebum secretion😓 Especially during times when work was busy, I have experienced clear increases in hair loss and worsening scalp conditions.

From there, I began to consciously create time to relax, secure time for hobbies, and take sufficient vacations🌸 I learned over 20 years that managing stress well is very important for protecting long-term hair health💡

10. 🪞 Continued to face my own hair

The thing I have valued most over 20 years is "being sensitive to changes in my own hair"🌟

Hair condition is constantly changing due to changes in seasons, age, physical condition, and lifestyle📅 Care from my 20s does not necessarily work in my 40s, and summer care is not necessarily suitable for winter.

I feel that constantly observing the condition of my hair and continuing to think about "what my hair needs now" has led to the condition of my hair today, 20 years later✨ I am convinced that the consciousness of "caring according to today's hair condition" rather than "doing the same thing every day for no reason" is the key to long-term hair care💪

💎 Summary

How was it?🌟 In the 20+ years I have been doing hair care, the things I feel were "really good" are actually all simple things✨

My 20 years of experience taught me that "continuing to do the right thing every day" is more important for creating beautiful hair than using special and expensive products💕

It is never "too late."🌸 If you can incorporate even one habit starting today, changes will definitely appear in your hair in 1 year, 5 years, and 10 years🌱 Please start your care today as the best gift to your future self💪✨
