As soon as the nice weather arrives, we like to throw ourselves on the beach or the pool without hesitation, but there is one thing we need to be clear about in both places: without the right care During the summer season, the health of our hair be it straight, wavy or curly is at stake† Exposure to UV rays, along with the chemical makeup of chlorine that eliminates the hair’s natural oils and the dehydration caused by sea salt, result in a dry, rough and brittle hair† In the specific case of looped moons, they end with lose definition, shine and tend to frizz without being able to control them. But fear not, if you have curly hair, read on as we have gone to a true expert in the method curly find the best care and products for supple, nourished and beautiful curly hair†
Hydrate your curls
By its own undulating character, all curly hair tends to dry out, because the sebum generated by the scalp does not reach the surface of the hair fiber. As it explains M.ª José Llata, from Llata Carrera Hairdressing (Santa Cruz de Bezana Cantabria) “The lack of hydration It is present in many curly hair, although not in the same way, and is the cause of curly hair that has a tendency to frizz. Every scalp is different and its oiliness must be analyzed to provide the necessary hydration in a balanced way.
Your curly hair is unique
Effective, no curl is the same as another, therefore the care is not identical. “Not all moons absorb liquids in the same way, that is, some fibers are more porous than others. There are also thinner or thicker and the thickness determines the percentage of emollients to be applied, whether they should be more or less heavy. The same happens with the oilinessthe fat we generate, and that determines how to wash and exfoliate?† Finally, elasticity, always diagnosed in a professional way, determine the flexibility, an aspect that indicates a need for protein or water,” says Llata. To which he adds that the evaluation to know what our curly hair needs in particular should be carried out by a professional, although if we observe it carefully, we can understand what it is like and what it needs.” Porosity type depends on how the scales that make up the fiber are attached, which can be more open or more closed. That is what prevents the active ingredients from entering, if they are more closed, and also prevents them from losing hydration, if they are very open. Kind of low porosity makes it take a long time for hair to get wet in the shower and dry, and also that it is more difficult to comb. Therefore, very heavy ingredients such as oils, if they do not absorb well, leave an excessively greasy appearance. When the porosity is high, hair tends to dry and frizz quickly† Fiber absorbs moisture, but at the same time easily releases it.”
The best care products for curly hair in the summer
To use products specially designed for curly hair It is essential to get natural, defined and hydrated curls. Of course it is essential to do it according to the needs of our own hair to find the perfect balance. “As the porosity is low, avoid oils that are too dense and choose lighter formulas such as grapeseed or almond oil. Better also products that you leave on without rinsing and apply them to wet hair instead of damp. like you porosity is highthen take refuge in oils like argan so they not only hydrate but also work to prevent hydration loss as a barrier. In addition, treatments that provide proteins are recommended.” concludes M.ª José Llata.
