A daily care routine for curly hair is essential for keeping strands healthy and shiny. To maintain beautiful and healthy hair, it is recommended to use cosmetics containing natural ingredients that can treat and prevent damage, ensuring the health and beauty of your locks.It is also essential to avoid harmful ingredients for health, such as PPD (p-phenylenediamine), ammonia, and its by-products (Ethanolamine, Monoethanolamine (MEA), Diethanolamine (DEA), and Triethanolamine (TEA), among others). These substances can cause severe allergies, alopecia, skin problems, and cancer (in extreme cases).
1. For Coloring Your Hair: Henna Cream, in addition to being free of the harmful substances mentioned, not only colors gray hair with high performance but also provides complete treatment from root to tip, replenishing nutrients and hydrating the strands. It is, however, essential that the cream used is not chemical laden, and comprises Brazilian herbs from the Amazon with healing properties.
Henna Cream is formulated with conditioning agents. This is a great option to keep your hair colored year-round, as it is very easy to apply and provides an unparalleled shine to the hair.
2. Washing the Hair: For those seeking a more natural hair care routine, a Color Fixation line offers an excellent option. By using the Shampoo and Conditioner from this line, you can ensure the health, nutrition, and hydration of your curly hair on a daily basis.
A Color Fixation Shampoo is specially formulated to be compatible with the Low Poo technique. This means it contains gentler cleansing agents than conventional shampoos, and is free from sulfates, petroleum derivatives, and insoluble silicones. With a balanced pH and enriched with Brazilian organic extracts, this shampoo provides a gentle and effective cleanse without damaging the hair. The Color Fixation Conditioner, on the other hand, is enriched with conditioning agents and plant nutrients. It conditions the hair, replenishing essential nutrients and leaving it soft and radiant.
3. Nourishing the Curls: To keep them beautiful and healthy, use products that contain oils and vegetable butters, as they have essential fatty acids that promote nourishment for the strands. Use a Color Fixation hair mask on your curls once a week or twice a week. Its formulation, enriched with natural and plant-based actives from India and the Amazon, promotes hydration, intense nourishment, and restoration of the hair. It’s like a hair care schedule in one product. Wash your hair with the Shampoo, apply the Mask, let it sit as indicated, rinse, and finish with the conditioner. This will not only restore the strands but also help maintain the color of colored curly hair.
4. Avoid Excessive Heat: To maintain the natural moisture of the strands, wash them with lukewarm water and let them air dry. Using hot water and heat tools like dryers and straighteners can cause moisture loss in the hair.
5. Care from External Agents: Ultraviolet rays can damage your hair, and cold winds can make it drier. Therefore, using products with sun protection or wearing hats and scarves can help protect your hair from the effects of the weather.
Unlike other colorations that dry out and damage hair, causing excessive frizz and cannot be used frequently, Henna Cream can be used as often as desired, without any waiting period between applications, making it essential in your hair care routine.
By incorporating such products into your routine, you will care for your curls naturally, maintaining the health, nutrition, and hydration of your strands.
