Mask for smooth hair

The beauty of the hair for the girl is paramount and is in the same position as the beauty of the skin and nails. Especially often there is the problem of smoothness of hair - due to external factors, the curls begin to electrify, lose their shape and luster. Are there ways to pacify them and give them a lively, healthy look? Is it possible only with salon procedures to achieve smooth hair, or is it possible to solve the problem at home?

How to make hair smooth at home?

Does combing hair affect smoothness? Professionals have been arguing for a long time. There was no consensus, but several interesting tips emerged that many women successfully use. If you urgently need to arrange fluffed, electrified hair, and there is no time for the headwashing procedure with subsequent drying, you can do the following: put 1-2 drops of your favorite essential or base oil on a wooden comb, distribute it along a comb, and a few just walk her hair. If the comb is plastic, it is better to apply base oil or your indelible agent with silicones. Instant smoothness will remain for several hours, and with good condition of the hair - for the whole day.

In addition to special tools that can improve the structure of the hair, we must not forget about an important, but very simple rule that not all girls follow. To cuticle hair during shampooing and after it was in the closed state, the water temperature should not exceed 40 degrees, although the most optimal is considered 34 degrees. And after the elimination of a balm or mask, it is advisable to rinse with cool (25-30 degrees) water or herbal decoction, or with acetic infusion of the same temperature.

The last nuance, also concerning the procedure of cleansing the head and hair, and also directly affecting smoothness, is the removal of excess moisture with a towel. Some girls are accustomed to actively rubbing strands in their hands, believing that such actions will speed up the drying process. Probably, from this point of view, this is all true, but the hair from such manipulations with it is uncomfortable: the probability of its breaking and disclosure of scales increases, which will lead to dullness. After washing the hair, you can only squeeze the hair gently, blotting it with a towel, and when they dry out a little, smash them with your fingers to facilitate further combing. Trying to walk the comb on wet hair is also not worth it, because and this action will negatively affect the smoothness and shine of the curls.
