If your hair is naturally straight, it doesn’t necessarily have to be
continually looking stringy, limp, or dull. You really have an
advantage over those who have curly hair. First off, straight hair is much easier to style. Next, with proper care, your hair can come out shinier. So exactly how should you take care of your straight hair?
What’s great about straight hair
is that it allows the natural oils to travel very easily and evenly
down the hair shafts. This gives your hair its consistent shine and the
protective coating make it less at risk of breakage. Nevertheless, this
is also one of the greatest issues to taking care of straight hair,
since it can easily become coated with a lot of oil, causing it to hang
in lumps and appear weighed down.
Proper shampooing can do a whole lot to minimize this problem. But
even if your hair is slimy, you have to stay away from using harsh
shampoos. They might remove excess oils near your roots, but they will
certainly over-dry the rest of your hair along the way. Instead choose a
mild shampoo, and wash hair more often if needed. If you want to use a
stronger shampoo, follow with an intensive conditioner. What the
conditioner does is replenish the oils removed from the rest of the hair
without causing the oils to collect near the roots.
Blot-dry your hair with a bath towel after a shower. Never ever rub
or scrunch your hair as this can cause hair strands to kink or break.
You also need to take it easy with the hairstyling products. Understand
that your straight hair is going to be weighed down by whatever you
decide to put on it. If you would like use a leave-in conditioner or
hairstyling lotion, be sure to use something that’s light weight and if
possible made from natural ingredients. They might be a little less
effective than heavy-duty products, but they’ll leave your hair lighter
and be easier to rinse out. Avoid hair care products with polymers,
waxes, or lacquers since they can cause hair to stiffen.
Limit your use of or totally do away with curling irons, hair dryers,
and other hair styling tools that require subjecting hair to high heat.
Whatever type of hair you have, it won’t benefit from being subjected
to excessive heat. If you’ve got straight hair, these tools can give
your hair that flyaway look. Your hair can certainly have volume by
using hair dryers, though. If you decide to go on blow drying your hair,
invest in a low heat, diffused model.
If you’ve got an excellent shampoo and you take good care of your
hair, you can expect your hair to have that natural glossy finish to it.
Nonetheless, it might need some lift. You can add volume to your hair
with the aid of a great volumizing product. You’ll find plenty of these
to choose from, but steer clear of the ones that contain a high alcohol
content since they’ll dry your hair. Although hair sprays can hold hair
for specific styles, they should not be used to create volume to hair. A
great volumizing mouse applied at the roots should be sufficient to
give your hair a bit of volume and not cause a great deal of damage.
Regardless of what styling products or tools you choose, always keep
your hair’s health as the primary goal. You should not sacrifice the
health of your hair just so you could look great for one day. Give your
straight hair the tender care and attention it demands and you should
have naturally fabulous and healthy hair before long.
