General Information:
My hair is too frizzy...
Hair that is naturally
curly or frizzy usually lacks moisture that is why it is important to use a good
moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.
90% of us suffer with dry brittle or frizzy hair because
our hair is deficient of (moisture) WATER! That is - the
idea that our hair is dry, because we are lacking in natural oils.
We are told that if we nurture our hair by brushing vigorously 100
times a day, with an all-natural bristle brush, or if we pamper our
hair with hot oil treatments or smother our hair with cholesterols,
then we are sure to be blessed with beautiful, shiny and healthy hair.
This might be the case, if you have young hair that is not
chemically treated. But this is certainly not the case, once
you have treated your hair with harsh chemicals such as bleaches
and alkaline permanents; or if you have naturally curly hair.
For hair to be in tiptop condition it has to have a moisture (water)
content of at least 8%, and the right balance of protein and natural
oil. Most of us produce enough natural oil (sebum), to keep our hair
healthy, but lack the moisture.
What to do...
You need to give your hair lots of TLC, with shampoos that are designed
to restore your hair's moisture level to its optimum 8%.
Along with
intense conditioners that will help to repair damaged cuticles, improve
porosity, elasticity and general health and appearance of your hair.
Those of you with naturally curly, wavy or frizzy hair, those who use
hot styling tools or who chemically treat your hair, will need to give
your hair extra nurturing by supplying your hair with the necessary
nutrition and moisture that it needs.
Chemical treatments (i.e., perms,
hair
dyes or bleaches) will deplete the hair of moisture. Bringing the
hair moisture level down to as low as 2%. When this occurs you will
start to notice split ends.
The same will happen with constant use
of blow-dryers or hot styling tools. If these split ends are not repaired
and the moisture level not restored to 8%, your split ends
will turn to breakage. This obviously needs to be avoided at all costs.
Those of you who live in hot, sunny or arid climates; need to make
sure that your hair care products contain sunscreens to protect your
hair from
the damaging affects of the UV rays. If not, the same thing will happen
to the hair.
