Water Soluble Products and Frizzy Hair
Women are slowly learning to cherish their curly locks, and I think that it's great because curly hair is wild and attractive. There is less management that comes with such beautiful hair when using the right products.
The one thing that wreaks havoc with curly hair is frizz or halo frizz when exposed to climate changes like wind, rain, humidity, dry heat, and cold weather. To date, there had not been a complete cure because all of the hair products manufactured are water soluble.
The real culprit is how hair products are manufactured. Whether "natural" or chemically-based, both are water soluble. Homemade brews and purchased products break down the moment you step out of the door, especially if you are faced with intense climate changes like 100% humidity. As you read on, I will explain why this is true.
The amount of moisture locked into the hair shaft is usually calculated by the manufacturer shortly after the time of application, giving false readings of potential longevity. How long moisture stays in the hair determines how well water soluble products protect or don't protect hair after exposure during climate changes daily or weekly. Product companies would have you believe that their products ("natural" or chemical) retain the optimal moisture content, which is 10 to 11%.
What they don't tell you is how LONG the product retains that moisture and controls frizz. Again, product layering and regimens are necessary for a somewhat effective but limited amount of moisture control in the hair. Water soluble product manufactures have high hopes that women will multi-layer products in their hair so they sell more SKUs (number of products in a line), which calculates to huge profits.
Now you can "nourish" your hair with just about anything you desire. Lock it in, including the perfect moisture content for your hair. It lasts from shampoo to shampoo regardless of the most extreme climate changes, while also blocking out excess moisture, which causes frizz.
Once you learn a simple yet diverse application approach, this product not only gives curls a soft, light, shiny, and natural look but alleviates that glossy, heavy look that makes the hair move as one lump. Hair should flow in the breeze without the aid of hair extensions to hide the true you.
Flat irons are notorious for damaging hair. Manufactures have added temperature controls on the irons in hopes of avoiding damage and breakage, but having a temperature control on your iron creates two problems if you don't have a relaxer in your hair.
1. Lower temperatures force you to go over the hair too many times, burning off surface product and, in turn, burning the hair instead.
2. Water soluble conditioners, moisturizers, and thermo-controllers dissipate or dilute after 2 to 3 hours. If a flat iron is used again before adding more products, your hair will suffer the consequences.
Waterproof products work the opposite when applied before flat ironing. A flat iron can be turned up all the way (400 degrees Fahrenheit is a minimum requirement) driving the product deeper into the hair shaft and offering complete protection from climate changes and excessive heat from the iron. If you choose not to shampoo and condition your hair the next day, repeated use of the iron is not necessary.
When moisture is retained in the hair longer, color lasts longer, split ends are less likely to occur, hair stays shinier for longer without added product, and most importantly, the product lasts longer, saving you time, money, and with fuel prices as they are, that's a plus.
