Curly hair is dry, what to do?

 

Beautiful curls are not only a question of care, it is above all healthy hair that will be beautiful naturally. The right composition and the application of your natural cosmetic care are aids to obtain a healthier hair more quickly.

Frizz, porosity and dryness are the topics of interest to anyone who wants healthy, naturally beautiful curls.

In summer or winter, it is necessary to monitor the level of hydration and avoid dryness of your hair especially for curly, frizzy and frizzy textures, it is inevitable. Why, to avoid a slow growth, brittle hair, split ends and the inevitable trip to the hairdresser to cut them.

We all know that hair is often dry, but what really causes it and how can we avoid that rough feeling to the touch, the straw and dull effect of very dry hair?

In this article, we’ll look at what to do and what not to do to keep your hair healthy, supple and shiny all year round.

 

You will find a list of recommended treatments to achieve better results faster at the bottom of this article.

 

Let’s go Curlies!

 

 

                                          

             

Why is my curly hair so dry?

 

 

Curly hair is dry because it doesn’t retain moisture as well.

1. The fiber structure of curly, frizzy or kinky hair is made up of more or less tight oscillations, which avoids natural moisture from being distributed easily and evenly.

The natural hydrolipidic film is the protective moisture film present on all hair types. Our daily actions prevent the preservation of this pure hydration from doing its job.

2. The level of porosity of weak to strong curly hair must benefit from customized care. Indeed, the appearance of the cuticles is often very open (high porosity) or very closed (low porosity), the result is that the moisture has difficulty penetrating or staying.

The goal of your hair care and routine on high porosity hair (see low porosity hair care blog post) should be to tighten the very open scales.

The objective of your hair care and routine on low porosity hair (see low porosity hair care blog post) must be to open the closed scales to allow the care products to penetrate.


To create a routine of your own, porosity remains the basis

The right care and the appropriate gestures of an adjusted routine will help you to keep an optimal level of hydration and obtain results especially if you avoid the causes of dryness below. All about porosity, follow the link (porosity articles)

4 habits to adopt :

 

 

1. Apply shampoo only to the scalp.

Massage without rubbing to activate blood circulation.

 

 


2. Seal in the moisture

Use methods to seal in moisture (LOC, LCO, etc.) with styling products. See explanation below.

 

 


3. Avoid friction as much as possible

When applying your care, during the night or when wearing a hat or cap.

6-step anti-dryness routine

Have fun, your routine is first and foremost a set of habits organized to reveal the beauty of your texture.

 

1. Oil bath
    • Oils such as castor, coconut, aloe vera. Do your tests and select the oils that suit your texture.

    • Massage and nourish your scalp, healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp.

Your scalp provides the nourishing base for your lengths and ends, so it’s important to care for it.

Tip

Enjoy the benefits of oils every day.

Dilute your oil bath or conditioner mixture with water in a spray bottle  for instant rehydration of your curls!

 

 

2. A gentle shampoo adapted to your hair type.

   
  • The ordinary shampoo has a mainly washing base, composed of active ingredients to remove impurities from your scalp.

  • So, don’t apply it to the lengths and ends to protect them from the dryness it will cause.

  • When washing, apply a small amount gently without rubbing only on the scalp to avoid drying it.
