entretien naturel des cheveux crépus

More and more of us are taking on our frizzy hair and wearing it with pride. You should know that frizzy hair, characteristic of the hair of African blacks, requires special attention because it is often dry, sometimes brittle and you have to find the right routine so that it remains hydrated all day.

To give you the key tips of healthy frizzy hair, we have called on the brand WAAM Cosmetics which offers natural care products such as oils, butters, clays, neutral bases to customize etc.

 

How to naturally maintain beautiful frizzy, curly and curly hair and fight against dryness ?

Just like the skin of the body with a very dry tendency in black skin and which requires to be hydrated and nourished in depth, with frizzy hair also the key is hydration !

To be less dry, frizzy hair needs water or care whose main ingredient is water (Aqua must be in the first position in the list of ingredients).

After providing them with the water they need, it is necessary to maintain this hydration on the hair. We recommend the LOC (liquid, oil, cream) or LCO (liquid, cream, oil) method that has proven its worth. It consists of applying a care oil and a cream (or vice versa) after the hydration step. The hair will be much less dry and will stay hydrated much longer.

 

Essential steps in the frizzy hair care routine

 

Oil bath

Before each shampoo, it is important to make an oil bath with two or three vegetable oils without silicone, with complementary properties and according to your choice, depending on what best suits your hair:

-Softening and nourishing coconut oil
-Nourishing, regenerating grape seed  oil
-Castor oil : fortifying and activating growth
-Jojoba oil: nourishing and sebo-regulating

This step is very important. In order for the hair to fully absorb the oil, apply the oil on the lengths to the tips. If the hair really has trouble hydrating after applying the oil, put a towel of warm water around your hair for about 15 to 20 minutes.

 

Shampoo

We always specify in our beauty tips for black women, that it is necessary to clean the skin properly without attacking it. The same goes for hair. A good routine starts with proper scalp maintenance. It must be cleaned effectively and gently. Sulfate-free shampoos are very effective and non-aggressive. For more softness, you can apply a rhassoul-based mask to your scalp and lengths, emulsify and rinse.

 

Disentangling

The detangling stage is essential, frizzy hair becoming tangled very quickly. Nourishing hair care can help. Just apply it on the lengths and untangle the hair with the fingers or a wide-toothed comb. Always start from the tips to the lengths to avoid breakage.

 

Skincare routine to keep hair hydrated

After detangling, a good deep care will do good to the hair. Choose your mask according to the needs of your hair (nourishing or protein for example). Nourishing hair care is excellent used alone. You can customize it with an egg to make it a protein treatment or simply with vegetable oils for an ultra nourishing care.

We do not zap the hydration and nutrition step after rinsing the mask using the LOC method. Depending on the needs of your hair, you can renew this method every day, every three days etc.

 

Beauty tip for OYAS

To reduce the number of products in your bathroom, we advise you to have a nourishing hair care on hand. It will serve you for your cowash, to untangle the hair, as a deep mask and even as a nourishing cream without rinsing to apply daily.
