Many girls do not like when their hairstyle resembles a dandelion. It is not easy to style naughty fluffy hair in the winter, when you need to wear a hat. Also, indoor air, which becomes dry due to heating, enhances this effect. Women always want to be well-groomed, so we will figure out what to do to make the hair obedient and the hairstyle neat.
The causes of fluffy hair
Girls are interested in why such an incomprehensible behavior of curls arises. Fluffy hair is for several reasons:
- Lack of moisture. Most of this process occurs in the summer and winter. In warm time, the sun acts on the hair, and in cold time - dry air and static electricity from various caps.
- Regular use of hair dryers, irons and tongs.
- Perm.
- The effect of hair dyes.
If you remove these factors, then the curls will not be so fluffy.
Strand Care
Those with fluffy hair, what to do to take care of them? It is important to remember and follow some rules and recommendations:
- Use shampoo designed for curly, thin or dry hair. When the hair needs to be washed daily, there should be a mark on the shampoo that it is suitable for this. If you do not pay attention to it, then the hair will become even more fluffy and dry.
- It is necessary to apply a balm with a moisturizing effect, which does not need to be washed off. Such a tool will allow you to retain moisture in the hair.
- If possible, do not use a hairdryer. Let the strands dry on their own.
- It’s absolutely impossible to sleep with a wet head.
- When doing hot styling, you need to lubricate the strands with a special protective agent.
- If you use curlers, they should be with a smooth surface.
- If the hair is fluffy, but also curly, then they can be straightened with an iron, but you need to do this on dry curls.
- Buy a very good comb made of wood, which will have rare teeth.
- If you dye your hair constantly, then do not forget to help them with moisturizing and nourishing masks.
- In the summer, use additional moisturizing products, such as milk or conditioner. This will help protect the strands from exposure to ultraviolet radiation. In winter, funds must be selected for this period of the year.
- In the salon, you can straighten your hair with keratin or do lamination. The effect will last three months, and after that - do it again.
- Do not comb the strands immediately after washing.
- Try to wear clothing made from natural materials so as not to cause an electrification process. You can use an antistatic agent, especially in winter.
Diet
Watch what you eat. Fluffy hair is due to a lack of any substances in the body. The diet should include cottage cheese, avocado, salmon, olive oil, nuts, cereals, beans. It is useful to drink one teaspoon of olive oil on an empty stomach. Be sure to eat dairy products, herbs, vegetables and fruits. Do not lean on fatty, sweet and starchy foods. Avoid alcohol, smoking, and foods containing dyes and preservatives. Drink more water. It will help protect the strands from dryness.
Professional products for fluffy hair
There are two types of cosmetics that are used in the fight against naughty curls.
The first type is a product that does not need to be washed off. These are a variety of gels, serums and fluids. They help protect the hair from the sun. They should be applied on clean strands, and their action is quite long.
The second type is rinse-off products, such as masks, balms, conditioners, shampoos. Shampoo should be used in conjunction with conditioner, balm or mask to get the desired effect.
What is not worth doing? Useful Tips
Those with fluffy hair should never use shampoos that add volume. Such products only dry the strands, and they become even thinner over time. Also, do not use an air conditioner and rinse aid with this effect.
Remember that the conditioner should be applied evenly to the hair, but not to the scalp itself. It is necessary to retreat from it by about a couple of centimeters.
When henna is used to strengthen or color the hair, oil or yolk must be added to it. In its pure form, it causes electrification and dryness of curls.
As a hair mask, you do not need to use clay. It dries curls and scalp, and apply it to oily hair.
Do not use products that contain alcohol. Do not abuse sprays and varnishes. Instead, it is best to make a mask or apply serum, which contain silicone. It has the ability to smooth the hair, but not straighten them.
Proper washing
Do not rub your hair much. It is necessary to rinse them with soft massaging movements. Particular attention should be paid to the tips.
If an air conditioner is used that does not require rinsing, then apply it better with your hands moistened with warm water.
When rinsing your head, turn on cool or warm water. Hot hair dries very much.
Do not use terry towels for curls, from them hair can be damaged and overdried. Cotton materials are best. For such fluffy hair there is a special towel made of a fabric such as microfiber.
Hairstyles for strands
When the hair is properly washed, the next question arises - how to style fluffy hair? This process is quite simple, the main thing is to follow some tips:
Tip 1. When there is a need to blow dry your hair, you need to do this by turning on the cold mode on it. The air flow must be directed to the roots and carefully raise the hair with a comb made of wood.
Tip 2. When the hairstyle is ready, you do not need to touch it often with a comb. But if there was a strong need to fix something, then they do it with a scallop with rare cloves made of wood.
Tip 3. Ready styling is fixed with varnish, which will help protect your hair from moisture.
