Let us guess! Are you struggling to take care of your textured hair? Are you from the team that never manages to keep your curls defined for more than half a day? Have you already tested a million “refresh curls” products that didn’t work (in fact your shelf is saturated with them)? Don’t mess around anymore. Sometimes less is more, especially when it comes to hair. In any case, this is the motto of Kelly Massol, founder of the hair brand dedicated to textured hair, Les Secrets de Loly.
To have beautiful and healthy hair, “you don’t need a lot of products but a good hair routine”. The expert gives us 4 essential tips for having beautiful length and definition that would make Goldilocks blush.
1. Make conditioner your “best friend”
For beautiful hair, you have to rely on good products! And obviously a good routine starts with a good shampoo, but be careful, not just any shampoo. Kelly Massol specifies that it must be “sulfate-free”. This shampoo should also be moisturizing and preferably gentle so as not to dry out your hair.
Don’t skip the conditioner step again. According to Kelly Massol, it is the “best friend” of your curls. This ally will allow you to “detangle your hair well”, immediately after cleaning. A good help to “avoid breakage” and “have a much bouncier curl”, underlines the founder of the Les Secrets de Loly brand.
Moisturize your hair very regularly
Who says beautiful curls says… Hydration. “You drink water every day, so does your hair,” recalls Kelly Massol. Indeed, hair that is regularly (or even daily) hydrated will be shinier and more manageable. This habit will make the styling stage easier, especially if you seal in hydration with rich products such as creams, leave-ins or oils. Apply them to damp hair to retain water in the hair fiber.
Use the right accessories
Unfortunately, to have beautiful curls, even the best hair routine is not enough. Because as Kelly Massol says: “You can have great products, if you don’t have a suitable brush, you’re still going to struggle.” Therefore, avoid brushes or combs with many small pins which can break your curls, especially those which are very tight, as is the case on curly and frizzy hair. Prefer those where there are few, with large teeth, and rather wooden when it comes to combs. Also, don’t hesitate to use your hands if you are skilled at hairstyling.
Monitor your lifestyle
We will never escape it, not even here: The five fruits and vegetables to eat a day. This is important for overall health, especially that of your hair which also needs good vitamins to stay strong and grow properly.
Conclusion ? Eat a balanced diet, drink plenty of water and take help from food supplements, because beautiful hair is thought of “in and out” both from the inside out and from the inside out, says Kelly Massol.
