Curly Brazilian Hair
Extensions: Three A-List Tips to Combat Dryness
Lately, women have been
opting out of pin straight hair in favor of a full head of curls. Many women
who want to rock the A-list style seen on celebrities like Tracy Ellis, Jada
Pinkett-Smith and Solange Knowles are raving about curly Brazilian hair extensions.
Curly weaves from suppliers such
as Her Hair Company, in fact, can be converted into a wavy hair extension, if the wearer wants it
less kinky. The best thing about this product is that it doesn’t require the A-list
kind of maintenance or regular trips to the salon. If you’re joining the trend,
you should be able to maintain flawless curls (even up to a year’s time) with
the following tips:
1.Co-wash regularly. Human hair’s water content is what makes it
supple and luscious. The curlier the hair, however, the longer it will take for
your scalp oils to reach the ends. This is why curly hair usually appears
frazzled at the bottom half. To maintain healthy coils, co-wash the hair to
keep it hydrated. Deep condition the hair as frequently depending on your
schedule and climate. Allow the moisture to sit for 15-20 minutes. On the other
hand, avoid over-conditioning as this can make your hair feel spongy and sticky.
2.Choose your cleansing
product carefully. Brazilian curly hair still
needs shampooing at least once every other week. Be sure to stay away from
ingredients such as sulfates and silicones. The latter are synthetic additives
that weigh hair down and are difficult to remove without the use of harsh
ingredients. On the other hand, sulfate acidity raises the hair cuticle while
removing dirt buildup, which promotes frizzing.
As much as possible, steer clear of products that contain these
ingredients.
3.Reduce contact exposure with
beach and pool water. Swimming is a great way
to stay in shape, but too much of it can really dry out your hair. Beach water
salt and pool water chlorine suck away moisture from strands, leaving them
dull, rough, and frazzled. If swimming is a regular part of your routine, make
sure to apply sealing before you take the plunge. Rinse thoroughly afterwards
and make sure to deep condition. Better yet, wear a swimming cap to avoid
exposure entirely.
Virgin Brazilian curly hair is
just as prone to dryness as your natural hair if not properly maintained. With
the above care tips, though, your Brazilian curly should last like an A-list celebrity’s.
