When buying a new shampoo, conditioner or treatment mask, we end up being taken, most of the time, by advertising that promises hair just like a certain actress or model, right? Would it be nice if it were that simple?
It turns out that our locks are beaten daily: by the wind, the sun, the hot bath, the flat iron, the colorings and other chemical treatments, etc. In short: you just have to change the shower temperature in this colder season that the wires already suffer. The remedy is very simple: hydration. But she has her little secrets, and there are so many!
Only hydration done in salon that works?
No. Wrong. The one made by the hairdresser is more accurate. For example, he can tell which nutrients are missing in his strands (keratin, vitamins, etc.) and thus makes hydration more appropriate. But using the right product in your home prolongs the salon effect. The tip is to ask your hairdresser to tell you the most suitable product.
Which hair needs hydration the most?
The ones with chemistry (dyes, discoloration, lights, straightening and progressive or smart brushes) and the curly, curly Afro. The first type ends up losing its natural properties, so it needs reconstructive hydration (there are several product options with this feature).
Already the frizzy, because they do not have the smooth structure, are not nourished from root to tip, that is, the nutrients have difficulty to go all the way. For both types, hydration should be done weekly. Smooth and oily strands can receive this care once a month or every fortnight.
Does hydration need a thermal cap?
No longer. Today, most moisturizing products have nano particles in their composition, which are very tiny and penetrate the hair in up to five minutes, even in the bath. Thermal caps can be harmful because if you leave your hair too long, they open the hair fibers and let nutrients escape. Read the label of the product you have at home and do as directed. No use inventing at that time.
The longer the moisturizer stays on the hair, the better?
No. It needs to stay in your hair the time requested on the label, no more no less. One tip is to massage the strands in the application so that the product penetrates each strand. Then rinse with plenty of water (cold or warm, never hot) and leave no cream residue. To make it easier to untangle, use a combing cream that can stick to your hair without rinsing.
Whenever I flat iron I will detonate my hair?
If you always do and do not give hydration a chance, you will. Flat iron should be the exception in your life, not a rule, okay? When ironing, do this with your hair brushed and completely dry. Use a thermo-activated shield to protect the wires. Use flat iron at most every two weeks and then at the time of washing, replace the basic conditioner with a treatment mask.
And the brush? Dryness?
If you use the dryer at cold temperature and with a thermoactivated product, no problem. Now the dryer in the hot jet does spoil. Always opt for soft bristle brush not to break the wires.
Is it worth opting for home remedies?
Much is said about aloe and cia, but the truth is that perfumery products are guaranteed to be effective. Already homemade formulas are more likely to not hydrate anything either? worse ? dry your wires more.
In addition to following all these tips, pay more attention to what you eat. Foods rich in vitamin A (mango, carrot and papaya), C (orange, lemon) and lean proteins (chicken, red meat or fish) help to make the strands healthier. Always buying the right products for your hair type, massaging your scalp at the time of washing (without using your nails) also helps a lot. How about putting these tips into practice today?
