FRIZZY AND CURLY HAIRS :
Our hair is part of our beauty assets. An important asset to be synonymous with well being and health. A precious asset that we must nurture. Our hair reflects your personality, participates in the image we want to give to others.
So, how to maintain, treat, cure, styling our hair. So many questions we ask. We do not always have answers.
What's a curly or kinky hair ?
You should know that hair is alive. It will eat through our food by the evidence adduced by the blood. A hair follicle is born in a scalp. To maintain throughout our lives, we must nourish the hair, especially the scalp, moisturize well. Also, eat a balanced diet is essential for hair full of life.
Structure of the hair: 3 parts compose the hair fiber :
We have the cuticle on the outside, which is formed by overlapping scales of keratin and one in another like fish scales. These scales form a protective wall. The cuticle is protected by the sebum, which acts as a lubricant and gives hair its natural shine while moisturizing. Sebum fights bacteria and fungus to help maintain a healthy scalp. |

The second part of the hair: the cortex determines the color, strength, elasticity and texture of hair. A damaged cortex is synonymous with brittle hair, brittle and split ends.
The third part consists of the spinal cord, is the internal structure of the hair.
Curly or kinky hair has a unique structure that may experience some problems particularly in our European climates. Initially, nature has done things since the curly hair is designed as a barrier against the sun:
It is emerging as a more or less flattened rod wound in its degree of crimp. Unlike the European hair that is round. Consequence: the distribution of sebum secreted by the scalp, it is hard along the hair shaft because of its elliptical shape. The sebum can no longer fulfill its role of hydration, the hair becomes very dry. The hair is no longer protected. It breaks more easily particularly at bends weakened by lack of hydration. The hair continues to grow but as it is dry, it breaks more. It seems that the growth of our hair has stopped but it 's wrong: they still grow but as they break, the lengths are stagnating.
At the same time, the sebum is trapped at the scalp because it is difficult to divide. The pores become clogged, the roots are weakened. Therefore: the process of hair growth slows.
The first council is to choose a suitable shampoo at your hair and make a shampoo once a week. Sebum is an anti-dehydration but it also contains the accumulated dirt. Also, remove excess sebum on the scalp can breathe. A scalp breathe is a healthy scalp! Wash your hair with good shampoo and without stripping it, whatever the hairstyle chosen (weaving, braiding ...).
Although his hair moisturize daily. Hydrate does not grease or increasing the hair: Be careful to do not grease your scalp. It is important to choose a cream, milk or oil suitable for its styling hair type.
A hair mask every 15 days to nourish the scalp, make it essential fatty acids and lipids needed to penetrate the heart of the hair fiber.
Finally, before brushing or smoothing, think about protecting your hair with a sheathing product, suitable for your hair type.
Always carefully choose its hair products designed for your type of hair!
