By far, straight hair is one of the easiest to take care of. Getting the products right and maintaining a simple care routine, it's easy to go around parading with the shiny, silky highlights. If you want to know a little more about this care routine, follow our post and we will tell you everything!
WASHING YOUR STRAIGHT HAIR THE RIGHT WAY
WASHING FREQUENCY
The most indicated for straight hair is to wash it every other day. Washing the strands every day can dry out the hair and leave it fragile. Now, washing the strands a few times a week makes them more oily and, consequently, can lead to the fall of the strands.
If you have very long straight hair and do not have time to dry your hair every day, the ideal is to wash it every two days.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT PRODUCTS
There is no way, to keep the hair straight always beautiful, it is necessary to invest in the right products. Most hair has more than one hair need, so having two shampoo and conditioner options in your box is ideal. Besides taking better care of straight hair this way, your hair will respond better to each treatment.
WATER TEMPERATURE
The very hot water temperatures damage the hair and even have an impact on the completion of the hair. Wash the strands preferably with cold water. If you can't take the whole bath with this cooler temperature, literally give a "cold water bath" at the end of the washing of the strands.
MASSAGE THE SCALP
When we wash our hair in the salon, we already know that our highlights will receive special care. So whenever you wash your hair, massage your scalp well. But beware: never use your nails! Massage the scalp with your fingertips.
ADEUS FRIZZ
Anyone with straight hair knows that one of the biggest fears is, without a doubt, frizz. To avoid this problem, there are some tips that can help you!
PROTECT STRAIGHT HAIR
Whenever brushing, using the dryer, plate or babyliss, use a thermal protector before and immediately after finishing, use a tip repair oil. This helps (and a lot!) straight hair to not get frizz. By doing so, the hair scales close and friction decreases, leaving the straight hair protected from excessive heat from these procedures.
UNTANGLE STRAIGHT HAIR
In addition to protecting straight hair from the heat, choose the right brush to comb your highlights. The best option is, without a doubt, the brush with straight base. This is because, with it, the threads do not break at the time of detangling.
RINSE YOUR HAIR THOROUGHLY
Don't even think about rubbing the towel on your straight hair when you get out of the shower! To remove excess water from the strands, gently dry the strands with a cotton towel and let the rest of the moisture dry naturally.
DON'T FORGET TO MOISTURIZE!
Frizz is a sign that straight hair is dehydrated. Therefore, hydrate straight hair every 7 or 15 days, as you feel the need for the strands. Moisturizing restores softness and silkiness to straight hair, in addition to fighting frizz!
STRAIGHT AND SMOOTH HAIR
If your hair is naturally straight or if you have performed some procedure to straighten the hair, some care must be taken.
Take advantage of the versatility of straight hair and cut the ends regularly. This helps to maintain the health of the hair up to date and, in case of breakage, already avoids the split ends.
Avoid attaching the straight strands with elastic bands, since straight hair is easily marked. Choose staples, clips, or piranhas. Rubber elastics can even break the strands if they are too tight. Now, if you can't give up the rubber bands, choose to use the ones made of cloth, which don't break your hair.
HOW TO MOISTURIZE STRAIGHT OR STRAIGHTENED HAIR
All hair is different and has different needs. A super common mistake is to think that straight hair does not need hydration.
Knowing the needs and differences of your hair helps you to define the type of product that should be used, as well as the frequency with which hydration should be done. Set aside a day for you to do this ritual!
First, wash the highlights thoroughly. Next, apply your favorite moisturizing product: mask, ampoule, creams and concentrated butters are among the most indicated alternatives. Apply the product and let it act according to the time indicated on the package. Then, rinse well and apply the conditioner as usual. Rinse again. Leave to dry naturally or dry with the dryer.
HOW TO MOISTURIZE THE HAIR SMOOTH AND OILY
Always good to remember: greasy hair does not mean hydrated hair! In this case, it is necessary to wash the strands with a proper shampoo to control oiliness before proceeding with the treatment. In addition, the frequency of hydration is lower. Those with oily strands can wait 15 to 20 days to make a new hydration.
In this case, because it provides less intense hydration, the hydration masks are the most suitable for the process.
If your hair is thin, you can still boost its hydration using a strengthening mask, which encourages the hair and makes it more resistant.
Tip: if you're crazy about getting your hands on your hair all the time, stop! This increases (and greatly increases) the greasiness at the root of the hair.
HOW TO MOISTURISE DRY OR DRY STRAIGHT HAIR
If, besides being straight, your hair is dry or dry, the ideal is to invest in an ampoule since, in general, they have greater moisturizing power. Unlike greasy hair, the frequency of hydration in these cases is higher. The ideal is to make a hydration per week, to maintain the health and the natural humidity of the threads.
ATTENTION: the moisturizing products, especially the ampoules, should not be applied to less than 3 fingers of the root! The ideal is to apply them, always, only in the length and ends.
