ultra-high conditioning
Do you often search for intense moisturising products that fail to do much?
No matter how soft your hair feels when you first moisturise it, does it feel dry within hours or days?
Need a heavy oil or butter to lock in the moisture?
Luckily for you we have the penetrating and moisture sealing routine you were waiting for:
ROUTINE:
-
Wash hair once every 7-12 days with a gentle hydrating cleanser that gets rid of grime and product build up. As you normally use a lot of heavy duty products, you need something that fully removes dirt without overly stripping your hair.
-
Use a deep conditioning mask at least every other wash to give your hair the TLC it needs. The best kind is a deep conditioner that doubles up as a leave in. Your hair will only really absorb moisture when wet so use your wash day as the perfect time to add maximum hydration.
-
A penetrating conditioner with lots of slip is necessary to retain moisture. Look for products with high glycerin/glycerol content, panthenol or honey. This magical trio (glycerin, honey, panthenol) are essential to retaining moisture. They act as humectants, drawing water to your strands even after drying your hair.
-
Your hair will normally require a boost of protein to counteract your high porosity. Alternate between a protein mask and deep conditioner every time you wash your hair.
-
Always start any style with a moisturising spray, daily or as needed.
-
Apply a oil in cream, oil or butter from root to tips on wet or damp hair after moisturising to seal in moisture.
-
Try to avoid heat styling but, if you do, a heat protectant is essential before blowdrying/straightening. Avoid using oils or butters before flat ironing hair as this can fry your strands.
-
Avoid too much tension or brushing. Use detangling products to smooth through tresses without causing damage.
