- What shampoo and how to use it? The shampoo that we should use when the heat is hot is a fortifying and specific one for dry, damaged, curly or dyed hair without sulfates and if it provides associated keratin proteins that repair the hair fiber better. Wash your hair with great care, massaging the scalp and without friction from the middle to the ends . What really gets dirty is the scalp and giving the ends too much hair will only dry them out more. When rinsing, the shampooing water falls all over the hair and is more than enough for the entire hair to be clean without 'mistreating' it.
- What conditioner and how to use it? The conditioner would be for the hair like the tonic for the face. A necessary step for healthy skin and hair. The conditioner, applied from medium to ends, will help us detangle, close ends and cuticles so that it remains flexible and hydrated. Trick: in the summer let it act a little more, between 5 or 10 minutes.
- What mask and how to use it? Essential a couple of times a week. Moisturizing is the main objective, so you can also apply coconut oil for example and leave it on for a long time before washing your hair. Both the mask and the oil, apply the product generously and leave it while you telework or pick up the house, and you will notice the difference . FINAL TIP: Rinse with very cold water.
