Products for perfect frizzy and curly hair: which ones to use
The best products for frizzy hair to use in the shower are moisturizing ones. Thanks to the hot water the cuticles open and the moisturizing ingredients and natural oils they penetrate deep into the hair cuticles keeping the lengths strong and shiny.
To be avoided absolutely are the products with them inside sulphates, silicones and parabens which in addition to being harmful to the hair (which will appear opaque and not very voluminous) are also harmful to health.
The choice must fall on curly hair products they have inside them coconut oil, argan, avocado, olive oil and shea among the best ingredients to nourish curly hair. Their nourishing properties make them elastic, bright and beautiful.
How to wash curly hair: the ultimate guide
The way in which curly and frizzy hair is washed is also very important and should not be underestimated: it is essential to find an ad hoc gesture, thus allowing to improve the curvature of the curl, which will appear more defined.
Start by wetting your hair with warm water (never too hot) and apply it shampoo only on the skin, avoiding lengths. Gently massage with the fingertips avoiding to use too much force but acting on the whole scalp making circular movements to improve and stimulate the blood supply. Leave the shampoo on for at least 2 minutes and then rinse with fresh water, which seals the hair fibers and increases shine.
It’s time to moisturize curly hair
After you have dabbed them, and not rubbed them, it is time to moisturize your curly hair and at this point there are various techniques you can follow.
If you have chosen to use a nourishing mask or conditioner that require rinsing, we recommend that you leave the product to act for at least 5 minutes and comb it, using a wide-toothed comb (this will be the last time you comb your curly hair until the next wash) on all lengths and then wash your hair.
However, for particularly curly hair there are also solutions that should not be washed off, but which are applied before styling and which ensure softness to the hair. THE leave in conditioners they are perfect for hair that tends to get tangled. To apply them, simply divide the hair into four sections and distribute the product evenly.
It’s time to styling: how to get perfect curls
Also with regards to it styling it is preferable to choose moisturizing and perfecting products that will make the curly hair perfect during drying. The best curly hair gel is what defines without sticking, and is perfect for experimenting with the Brazilian technique of Fitagem. How you do it?
Just divide the hair into locks and apply a mix of cream and hair oil on each one, starting from the root and spreading it over the entire length. At this point you have to comb with your fingers and perform the technique of scrunch, that is, collect and tighten a lock in the palm of the hand starting from the tips and lift it towards the root. To seal the definition, the final step is to apply a gel with additional scrunch motions.
If, on the other hand, the locks are not very defined you can try the technique of Ditoliss: apply a leave-in cream and start shaping the lock by rolling it around your finger from root to tip. Stay in this position for a few seconds and then release, taking care not to damage the curl made. Continue in the same way throughout the hair.
How to dry curly hair
Curly hair would always go dried naturally but since it is not possible in the cold months it is important to know some drying techniques that do not damage the curl but enhance it and make it voluminous.
Although the best way to dry your hair is plopping, a hairdryer can also be a great ally. Keep one distance of 15-20 cm from the scalp, using warm air and a medium speed (avoid keeping it fixed on one point so as not to risk damaging the hair) and blow dry the hair upside down to give more volume. Finally, apply a few drops of nourishing oil on the tips and voilà that’s it!
