It happened also this year: opening the boxes with Christmas decorations and you have found a tangle of ribbons and bows. Have this view reminded you your curly, frizzy and full of knots hair? If you follow our advice this unpleasant hair look will be only a bad memory!
Curly hair, as we know, are beautiful but they require special and constant attentions to be always defined: indeed, they easily become dry and frizzy so they need nourishing products with specific methods of washing and drying.
For these reasons we decided to answer to the most frequently asked questions that we usually do to treat our curls: here there is all you need to have soft and silky curls!
1) What products should I use for my curly hair?
This type of hair needs a deep hydration: the ideal is to use a nourishing treatment rich in natural active ingredients, amino acids, vitamins and minerals such as, for example, the Ricci Fix line which is composed of anti-frizz detergents and styling products, such as Shampoo, Mask, Serum and Thermo-Active Cream. In these products there is Bamboo Pith which represents an important source of proteins, repairing the surface hair and making its structure more bright, shiny and elastic.
2) How can I wash them?
Washing curly hair is a very important step: first of all, you have to prefer a specific nourishing and not aggressive shampoo, that gives elasticity and lightness to the hair. Dilute a small amount of product with water and massage the skin with your fingertips, starting from the sides of the head to the nape and leave to wark for a few minutes: in this way the follicles will absorb the nutrients of the detergent . Rinse thoroughly and repeat if necessary; in any case, remember to use a jet of lukewarm or cool water in the last rinse, so the keratin scales can be closed increasing the hair brightness.
3) Do the conditioner or the mask add weight to the curl?
The conditioner and the mask does not add weight to the curl: nourishing masks are essential to ensure hydration for hair and prevent the formation of knots. It’s better to prefer products with Sesame Oil that have an effective shining power: apply the product for five minutes on the hair lengths with a wide-teeth comb, which avoids stressed hair. Rinse with lukewarm water.
4) How can I dry my curly hair?
After washing and treating with conditioner or mask, it is time of drying: curly and wavy hair are very delicate so, to keep their shape, it is necessary avoiding to rub them with a pool towel (it electrify the hair). Instead you can use a towel in cotton fiber (good ones in bamboo); the best solution for you it would be to dry your hair to the air, but if you do not have time, with hair upside down, use the hair dryer at a distance of about 15 cm and move it in a circular way to distribute the heat: in those moments remember you do not touch the hair tips because the heat rubs them.
5) How can I obtain defined curls?
If you want perfect curls, you can choose between two alternatives of styling: if you dry your hair to the air, after washing, apply a curl reviving serum on small locks and wrapping them around your finger for about ten seconds. If, instead, you dry your hair with an hair dryer apply a thermo-active cream on the hair with the same steps described right now: in fact, with the heat the thermo-active cream increases its reviving and defining action on the curls and, at the same time, it protects from split ends.
6) How to prevent split ends on curly hair?
Curls have split ends very often: to solve this annoying problem you have to cut your hair every 2-3 months, to use a thermo-active cream during the drying or a very small amount of nourishing oil to apply on dry hair.
If you have always taken care of your curls you can use our advice from now, while if you never paid special attention to your curls probably they do not appear in all their beauty. Before using the products that we reported, we invite you to take care of the health of your hair with specific cosmetics with Keratin and Macadamia Oil: indeed, they reconstruct the hair in its entire length, thanks to their nourishing and strengthening action.
