The characteristics of frizzy hair

Naturally very curly, frizzy hair are curly hair, but generally even more dense, flattened and not round like curly hair. They are lying along the skull rather than straight. This serves to protect the scalp from the sun. Black women from the Maghreb and the islands know this!

The problems of frizzy hair

In tropical climates, the scalp is constantly moistened, allowing hair to grow and stay healthy.
But in temperate countries, like in Europe, the lack of humidity causes a tightening of the pores, concentrating the sebum on the scalp. It suffocates, becomes dehydrated and peels, while the rest of the hair becomes increasingly dry and curly, growing in a spiral, which leads to almost systematic recourse to hairdressing practices such as straightening or additions, which, in the long run, weaken the hair.

Shampoo for frizzy hair

Fragile and dry, frizzy hair (and afro hair) need a hair routine and be washed gently and nourished intensely. Make a hair shampoo specially designed for curly and dry hair, which you will complete with a rich and nutritious conditioner, based on jojoba, safflower or shea.
Massage the hair and rinse with warm water then lukewarm before finishing with a spray of fresh water. This facilitates detangling and shines frizzy hair.

Care for frizzy hair

For frizzy hair, suitable hair care is essential.

  • Once a week, treat yourself to an ultra-nourishing mask with shea butter, to soften and deeply nourish your hair.
  • Before shampooing, leave it on for at least half an hour, wrapped in a warm towel for more effectiveness.

In the event of extreme dryness, keep it overnight and emulsify it under water, upon awakening. The locks regain their full vigor.

  • Think of palm, jojoba or monoi oils which hydrate and nourish dry and damaged hair. Apply in the evening and leave on overnight. Wash and rinse in the morning: the hair regains vigor and luminosity.
  • Like Moroccan women, use Rassoul. Diluted in water, it forms a kind of mud which foams and absorbs fat. This treatment, practiced since Antiquity by women of the Middle Atlas, restores shine and suppleness to the hair, especially if you have straightened hair or colored hair.

How to brush frizzy hair?

Very fine but concentrated in mass, afro hair are difficult to brush because the frizzy hair breaks easily. It is therefore necessary to untangle them with a comb with wide teeth.
Optionally, spray a little detangling lotion on the knots.

To avoid

  • styling gels that carton, dry and end up suffocating the scalp
  • braids that are too tight: excessively stressed hair will eventually fall out, and some will no longer grow back
  • too violent detangling which weakens the hair
  • excessively heavy extensions, which pull on the roots, cause hair loss
