All our OYA want to take care of their skin, but also their hair ! To give you specific advice we called on Diane from the Nappy Boucles online store who tells us more about the importance of hair care.
When you have a hair that curls, whether it is frizzy, curly or curly, it requires a greater need for hydration than a Caucasian hair in a " baguette " and straight shape. This is due to the natural sebum that takes longer to spread along the entire length, this is due to the curved shape of frizzy to curly hair. The climate of the country where you live is also an important factor in hydration intake: if you live in a dry climate like Europe, the need for hydration will be greater than if you are in a humid climate such as Africa or the Caribbean.
In the maintenance of your natural hair, it is essential to have a hair routine that will provide the moisturizing and nourishing care necessary to restore healthy, strengthened and easy to style hair.
Just as a facial care routine is about cleansing and moisturizing your skin, a hair routine is to do every two weeks :
- A mask to provide vitamins and strengthen in depth
- A moisturizing shampoo to wash and leave the optimal hydration
- A conditioner to provide care on the surface of the hair
- Every two days, a moisturizer to apply to the entire hair that will bring the essential need for water and vitamins.
You should know that oils and butters do not moisturize, that is to say do not bring water to your hair but serve to nourish it and provide it with " vitamins " to strengthen the root, bring shine to dull hair or even repair damaged hair. The oils are applied after the moisturizer in slightly quantities to seal, i.e. to retain hydration.
We advise our customers to opt for a Nappy Pack that allows them to have a complete range of treatments to start on a good basis and thus have the hair routine adapted to their hair needs. Nappy Packs stand out on several criteria such as daily maintenance, fine hair, breakage, dryness, coloring and even for people who are in a transition period (the cohabitation of natural hair and a straightened part). They respond to each specificity that can be encountered.
It cannot be defined whether a product is made only for frizzy hair or for curly hair. We select products according to their composition, which must take into account the nature of a curved hair and not have components such as sulfate, silicone etc ... Indeed, they are agents that dry the hair more, hence the " straw " effect that can be obtained with certain products ! As for silicone suffocates the hair with its lubricating effect but prevents access to care from penetrating deeply.
This is why it is important first to know the problem you encounter with your hair, and then to adopt a hair routine that meets your needs to have a silky and flexible hair.
TIP :
If you have been using a product that dries or breaks your hair for more than 2-3 months, it is useless to keep it because it does not meet the needs of your hair !
Note that it is important to have good food hygiene and drink water regularly, which will bring elasticity to your hair and limit breakage. These are the same conditions to have beautiful, healthy skin !
TIP :
When your tips are dry or brittle, use the baggy method that will rehydrate and fortify them in depth. You will find soft and shiny tips. Find our articles tips on Nappy Loops "Nappy Tips "..
