I’ve needed to cope with the blessings and curses supplied by coarse, thick hair my entire life. As a baby, it was all the time so heavy and made me so scorching that I hated to put on it lengthy. Rising up, massive hair was trendy so I made it by way of highschool okay. Once I hit maturity, or extra precisely, after I had my first baby, the feel of my hair modified.
As a substitute of simply being thick and coarse (which I had considerably discovered to dwell with), my hair additionally turned semi-wavy. Not curly or bouncy, however somewhat it has a number of irritating bends in it. The bends forestall me from letting it air dry as a result of then the hair will get frizzy. The truth that there is a bend means I’ve to blow it dry straight and use hair straighteners to get it clean and glossy.
Some hair straighteners simply do not get the job executed with hair like mine. They both aren’t heavy sufficient to correctly grasp the hair sections or aren’t scorching sufficient to forcibly change the cuticle and strand. Some hair straighteners are poorly constructed and have voids and edges alongside the plates and tongs which snag hair.
In some instances, the dearer the instrument the higher the end result. I’ve personally tried low-end hair straighteners from common shops, and I’ve tried extremely costly fashions from boutiques. One I like the perfect on hair like mine has silicone and ceramic plates that produce a clean, slender end (no extra “massive” hair). It additionally injects steam from a keratin resolution into the hair cuticle, strengthening it at the same time as I apply warmth and straighten it.
Make sure to not over-wash your hair, as it may well result in dryness and frizz, particularly throughout winter months when the air is already dry.
