Curls - Indomitable Hair
Don't worry, it's solvable!
Who dominates whom, your hair to you or you to your hair?
If your hair is dry, electrified and out of control, your curls are not well defined, they lose their shape and no matter how much you apply products that promise you a spectacular mane, the length remains caked and the appearance is that of a lifeless hair that seems to be always neglected, your problem is frizz, a setback that usually occurs in curly and wavy hair, because they are the most porous.
The origin of frizz is only one, the lack of capillary hydration. The hair seeks moisture and therefore expands. But, as it does not find it, it starts to become brittle and break, which gives the hair a tangled, shapeless, dull and limp appearance.
The truth is that genetics has a lot to do with whether or not we get hair that is difficult to tame. But there are also many other things that have an influence: the use of heat tools (hair dryers, straighteners, curling irons), the use of coloring products (dyes, highlights, highlights), different lifestyle habits (chlorine from the swimming pool, salt from sea water) and the degree of humidity in the environment.
But all is not lost, my dear ladies of Hive, let's learn how to master it with these simple tricks:
1.- Wash your hair with lukewarm water, not hot.
Don't towel dry hard, because this helps to break the cuticle.
3.- If you have to use heat instruments, apply a protective product.
4.- Use hair masks on a regular basis.
5.- Before or after blow-drying, you can apply an anti-frizz serum.
6.- Comb your hair carefully, without haste and with appropriate instruments, choose combs with thick bristles and that are made of natural fiber, not metal because they activate the static.
7.- Do not use products that contain alcohol, because they tend to dry out the hair.
8.- Always use shampoos with anti-frizz finish.
9.- The type of haircut helps to improve frizz, long hair helps because it has more weight on the ends.
10.- There are some home remedies that I particularly use, such as coconut oil, applying it directly on the hair. Another trick is with hazelnut cream, even for hands or body.
Give your hair the care it deserves.
