Curly hair care

How can you love them? There are a lot of problems with curly hair:

• They get fluffy as soon as they dry after washing their hair, after a hairdryer, or just outside.
• They stick out on the sides like you're the superhero Electro.
• They are naughty. No matter how you lay them down, they are not going to comply.
• Individual characteristics. Each curl is unique, each owner suffers in her own way.

The most common mistake is trying to care for curly hair as if it were straight. The rules for caring for hair are completely different. This is due to the fact that curls have a different structure and structure. You also need to use completely different skincare products. Conditioners and shampoos for smooth hair will only ruin your hairstyle. It's time to get used to the fact that stars who naturally have wavy hair, and appear on the catwalks with straight hair, are the result of a huge amount of work by hairdressers and stylists. This is a huge amount of money; a similar effect cannot be achieved at home.

To keep your hair looking good, you need to take proper care of it. Curly strands have a porous structure, so any chemicals immediately affect the hair. And if the substances do not suit you, then your hairstyle will be ruined.

IMPORTANT:

The main enemies of waves are silicones and sulfates. They should make your hair smooth, straight and shiny, but they will turn your bouffant hairstyle into icicles.

Hair styling products and various hair sprays often contain alcohol. He dries his hair and turns it into a “dandelion”.

REFERENCE:

Dry shampoos make hair lifeless and dull.

The most annoying thing is that the above components are contained in almost any cosmetics that are sold in the mass market. Therefore, do not be fooled by advertising slogans and inscriptions on jars “only for curly hair.” It still won't work. Therefore, if you decide to take care of your hair seriously, then you will have to learn to understand the composition of cosmetic products. If you have any doubts, you can always search on the Internet to see what dangers this or that shampoo component poses to you.

IMPORTANT:

Products labeled “eco” are not necessarily suitable for you. Also, plant components can cause allergic reactions.

Most often, wavy hair is prone to dryness, so experts advise using curling irons, flat irons and hair dryers with caution. What care products are already safe and useful?

• Sulfate-free shampoos. Get used to the fact that they do not foam, but also clean well.
• Conditioners without silicone. Read the ingredients carefully before purchasing.
• Co-washing. This is a method of washing your hair using conditioner.

If you have been using conditioners, shampoos and conditioners with silicones for many years, then you will need some time to wash them from your scalp and hair surface. Your new skincare products won't work right away.

Look for special product lines in professional cosmetics stores. Also in America there is a special store, Naturally Curly Shop, where only cosmetics for the care of curls are sold, you can order them.

REFERENCE:

After washing your hair, do not wrap your hair in a towel or comb it. Gently blot the strands and dry with a special hairdryer with a diffuser. Do not use hot air, only warm or cold. After blow-drying, you can attach the curls to your head with bobby pins to form curls.

Folk remedies to keep your hair smooth and not frizzy

For the mask, slightly heat 3 tbsp. spoons of olive oil, then mix with 1 tbsp. spoon of honey, you can also add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.

Apply the mask to dry, clean hair, warm it, and leave for 3-4 hours or until the morning. Afterwards, wash off with warm water, or better yet, chamomile infusion.

Olive oil can be replaced with burdock, flaxseed or avocado oil.

With burdock oil

Rub slightly warmed oil into the scalp and carefully distribute the nourishing composition throughout all curls. We warm the hair and leave the mask for 2 hours, then rinse it off. And to improve the condition of your hair, prepare a decoction of burdock, nettle or hop cones.

Based on honey

For honey wrapping we use any thick honey. You will need 3-6 tbsp. spoons, it all depends on the thickness and length of the hair. Heat the honey, rub it into the roots and distribute it through the curls to the very ends. The most convenient way to do this is with a comb with sparse teeth.

Note!

Leave the mask on for 7-8 hours, you can do it before bed, then wash off with warm water and shampoo and rinse with lemon or lime juice.
