There’s no way: all women are liable to have to deal with a dry hair. This is because dryness can happen due to several factors, both natural (such as wind and sun exposure), and because of chemical procedures and excessive use of dryers, modelers and boards.
When hair is dry, it means that the pH of the hair is altered, leaving the cuticles open and unprotected, resulting in dry, dull and lifeless looking hair. Although it is a more frequent problem in curly hair, dryness also affects straight hair, especially those who are adept at chemistry in the threads.
To combat this problem, the hydration treatment is the most suitable precisely because it helps in the replacement of water and nutrients that are lost daily. However, it is necessary to adopt some more care with the yarns so that they do not become even more dry. Check below what they are!
Wash your hair with warm water
As comfortable as it is to take a warm bath, you must remember that hot water dries the hair, as it opens the cuticles and takes away all the shine and silkiness from the threads. That’s why the first care to combat dry hair is very simple: just change the temperature of your shower – at least at the time you wash your hair.
Always apply thermal protector before using dryer or board
You may not notice it in the short term, but the constant use of appliances such as the dryer, straightening board and curl shaper can damage (and VERY) the wires. To shield the wires from the high temperatures of these heat tools, a simple care is enough: apply a thermal protector to the length of the wires every time you use them.
Invest in weekly or biweekly hydrations
Did you know that a moisture mask acts on your hair in just 5 minutes? My Smooth Restoration Moisture Mask Intensely combats extreme damage in a time that can vary from 5 to 10 minutes – you choose. So how about separating those little minutes once every 7 to 15 days? It’s simple and practical!
Opt for shampoos and conditioners with moisturizing function
Those who have straight hair usually invest in formulas with deep cleaning agents due to the oiliness in the root, but if your hair is dry, the best is to use products with moisturizing action. The My Straight Extreme Shampoo and Conditioner Kit has a formula rich in D-Pantenol, coconut water and aloe vera, components that clean and moisturize to the right extent.
