12th September 2012 - It is always observed that we always yearn for that which we don’t possess.
We always see girls with straight sleek hair wanting curls, while those with Natural Curly Hair want straight hair.
Hair that is kinky or curly, can look stunning if proper care is taken and mastering the way it looks the best.
The ends of the hair, if kinky have a tendency to dry out because when oil is poured on the scalp it has difficulty travelling along the strands. Shampoo containing sulphate sucks whatever moisture is present in the hair. This causes severe breakage and frizz making hair look unkempt and untidy. Usage of a shampoo containing zero drying sulphate and ingredients that aid in hydration of the hair like honey/silicone help to maintain the moisture levels of the hair and help to keep away the frizz.
Hair that is kinky needs to be moisturised frequently. Hence, usage of a good quality conditioner when the hair is wet is recommended whether you are shampooing it or not. This helps in lowering the burden of the hair and also adds enough moisture to it. Conditioning also helps in reducing the frizz and keeping the hair hydrated at all times. There are many curl creams and leave-in conditioners available in the market. Dabbing either of them on the ends of the hair prevents drying out.
Trimming of hair that is kinky is a must every three months. This prevents the ends from breakage. Usually, stylists cut wet hair; this is tricky for those with Natural Curly Hair because predicting the reaction of the curls when the hair is dry is almost impossible. Hence, visit such stylists who can cut hair when dry. Thus ensuring that no damage is caused because of the after effects of flat irons/straightening irons to make repairs to a bad hair-cut.
Apart from using products available in the market to tame Natural Curly Hair, there are quite a few magical products present in every kitchen. You can call them home remedies or natural remedies. For instance, eggs and yogurt make a good conditioner when applied individually or as a mixture.
