How can I keep my hair always hydrated? Anonymous

Flavia Addor, dermatologist

Made up of cuticles, the hair it tends to dry out when these structures are open. Under these conditions, the threads are unable to maintain the integrity of the keratin, its integrative protein, which facilitates the carrying out of external atmospheric agents, such as strong sun and dye, and intensifies the effects of dryness.

As the texture and volume vary, dryness affects the curly hair, which tends to dry out especially at the ends.

To reverse the situation, I recommend the use of shampoos with a less degreasing system, and more delicate, as they help to keep the line more intact. In addition to the use of curl finishers (definers), as they guarantee extra hydration.

Using the shampoo should be sparing, about a coin in the palm of your hand, and concentrated on the scalp. The conditioner, on the other hand, is the opposite: pass the product over the entire length of the hair for better results.

In homemade blends, in addition to not having a proven effectiveness, it can be harmful. For its use it is necessary to consult specialists.

I recommend particular attention to chemically damaged hair, as it tends to dry out more, especially if it is originally white.

In the tub, avoid very hot water, which can also promote the increase of seborrhea, and exposure to the wind, which can dry and tangle the threads.
