Textured hair "must-have' (part 2)

 

After the microfiber towel, the satin pillowcase, the diffuser and the accessories adapted to our hair, we have:

• The heating cap

It's no secret: textured hair needs more care (hydration/nutrition) than straight hair. So all the tips to promote this provision of care are good to take 😉

This applies to routine days when you have time and is achievable with our INTENSE treatment.

Let’s go back to our 3&GO routine: WASH – CARE – STYLE.
During the TREATMENT step, you can optimize the effectiveness of your “prepoo” pre-shampoo treatment or your mask using a heating cap. Apply it to hair covered with product and leave for 10-15 min. The heat from the cap will open the hair scales and promote the penetration of the product into the hair fiber. The hair will absorb the active ingredients of the cream as much as possible and will be even more supple, soft and nourished after rinsing.

You could tell us that this is not an easy accessory to carry. But be aware that today there are many innovative models compared to the large headphones with an electrical outlet that we are used to at the hairdresser. You will find for example:

• cordless heating caps whose material retains heat and can be heated in the microwave,
• electric hats to recharge and with several temperature levels
• electric caps plugged in but flexible and transportable

To your tests 😉

• Pimpled brushes, detangling brushes, bamboo combs

Textured hair doesn't particularly like the brush or comb step. Done poorly, you quickly end up with undefined curls, open cuticles, static electricity, or worse, pulled out hair. It is therefore important to select the right accessory according to the desired effect.

If you wish to:

• Untangle your hair:

Detangling is THE time for textured hair to break.

As for curly and frizzy hair, first of all avoid detangling on dry hair which can cause breakage. Be sure to always detangle your hair when it is damp and soaked in detangling products to coat and smooth the cuticles and therefore facilitate the passage of the brush. We always detangle from the bottom up, start by detangling the ends and gradually go up towards the roots so as not to pull and break the hair.

In terms of accessories, we recommend either simply using your fingers or using a brush with soft bristles such as a Tangle Teezer or Afrobrush.

For curly hair, you can opt for detangling on dry or damp hair with a detangling product. In terms of accessories, choose a brush with boar bristles which are anti-static if you have fine hair or a wide-toothed comb if your hair is thicker and detangled in the shower.

• Lay down your hair

When we opt for a cut where our hair is tied back and we want to flatten the hair, the boar bristle brush is also preferred. There are very fine shapes allowing precise, smooth or wavy plating.

• Define your loops

The definition of loops will itself be the subject of a dedicated article. But as a preamble, if you opt for a brush definition, we recommend a Denman type brush.

 

• Take off the roots

When removing certain hairstyles (braids-out, twist out, flexirolls, curlers, etc.), it is necessary to harmonize the sections with each other and restore overall volume to our hair. To do this, the easiest way is to remove the roots using a “wide-toothed volume” comb.

And there you have it, this time you know everything 😊!
