You take a lot of time and put a lot of energy and money into your curls. But it’s also important to make an intentional effort with your curly hair to pay attention to your hair’s health over time, especially on wash day.
As the focus of washing your curly hair should be deep cleansing and replenishing the curly hair. So both steps can be thwarted if done improperly. Want to know why your hair is dry and exhausted only hours after washing it? Somavie will tell you why.
- 1- Rubbing your hair with the shampoo:
Shampoo commercials and slogans make disheveling your hair with shampoo and piling it atop your hair appear to be appealing, but it is actually detrimental to your strands. The Build-up at the roots of your hair not only induces tangles but also further lifts the hair’s cuticle. Shampoo expands the cuticle in order for it to effectively cleanse, so you want to stroke the hair down to encourage the cuticle to lay flat. When scrubbing your scalp, hold the ends of the hair taut with one hand and massage the scalp with the other hand. Remember to use SOMAVIE CONDITIONING SHAMPOO which gently cleans your curly hair without any dryness.
- 2- Choose Co-washing or clarifying:
Clarifying is necessary and co-washing is optional. Clarifying is meant to thoroughly remove all product buildup, excess sebum, and debris from the weathering agents. Co-washing is meant to refresh the hair with moisture while gently removing some buildup. Both are cleansing methods and should not be done subsequently. If you choose to clarify, then deep conditioning afterward is important. If you want to co-wash, you do not have to follow up with a deep condition but you certainly can.
- 3- Cleansing came before conditioning:
Conditioners are to be used after cleansing with shampoo, not before. As Shampoo attracts dirt and oil while conditioners leave a film containing moisturizing properties on the strands. So if you use conditioner first you will attract build up to your hair roots and make a fake moisturizing will go away once you put your shampoo after that.
- 4- Dry your curls with heat:
According to the CG method It is highly recommended to let your curly hair air dry naturally as often as possible. Because using heat to dry your hair will cause severe damage to your hair and roots.
We know that our lifestyle maybe active and we can’t wait for our curls to take their dry. So there is a proper way to dry your curly hair and that is with an attached diffuser which spreads the heat more evenly on the curls.
- 5- Not applying a leave-in cream
You must apply a leave-in cream or moisturizer after washing your hair. As the moisture of conditioners is not enough to maintain moisture. It is important to apply leave-in cream while the hair is damp or wet to trap moisture in the strands. As going out without apply leave-in cream will make your effort in styling your curls go away when your feel with air.
For that, the experts recommended SOMAVIE LEAVE IN CREAM which has UV protection and gives you detangles, defines, and tames curls.
