Just because you have straightened your hair does not mean that you do not have to do anything afterwards to keep it straight. In order to maintain a beautifully straight hair, you need to be careful about tying your hair up.
When you straighten your hair, your hair that was habitually curly will look different and become straight. However, if you do not take care of your hair, the straightening may come off, the pain of your hair may become worse, or you may develop a new habit. Be especially careful if you are tying your hair.
Easy to get into a habit, immediately after straightening hair
Generally, hair straightening uses chemicals and heat to straighten habitual hair. Because the hair proteins are forcibly cut and rejoined, the hair is in an unprotected state immediately after the treatment.
At least 48 hours after the treatment, the hair should not be exposed to any stimulation, such as getting it wet, hanging it over the ears, or tying it up. This is because the habit will not return to normal, but a new habit will form.
Curly hair is also understated.
If you straighten your hair, you may want to arrange your hair. However, it is not recommended to iron curly hair frequently. Hair straightening can keep hair straight semi-permanently, except for newly growing hair.
However, after repeated thermal tensioning, the hair may gradually lose its ability to return to a beautifully straight look. Even if you must arrange your hair, limit curly hair to once or twice a month, and take care of your hair to maintain its straightness.
Hair Arrangement Notes
If you must tie your hair, tie it as loosely as possible. Use a wide, loose elastic such as a chou chou and tie it below the shoulder level to avoid leaving marks. Hair accessories such as barrettes, which pin the hair in the same position every day, will also leave marks.
It is better to use hair accessories that are inserted into the hair instead of pinching it.
Important daily care
Generally speaking, hair is damaged after straightening. The hair itself does not have the ability to repair damaged areas, so daily care must be taken to improve the condition. Use shampoos that are as non-irritating as possible, such as amino acid-based shampoos, rather than high-grade alcohol-based shampoos. There are shampoos specially designed for straightening hair, so it is a good idea to use them.
After shampooing, dry hair thoroughly with a hair dryer. When brushing, do so only after 90% of the hair is dry. After shampooing, use a non-rinsing treatment to nourish your hair thoroughly.
Don’t forget to do it every day.
A little attention to hair styling in addition to daily care will help keep your hair beautifully straight for a long time. Straightening is too hard on the hair to apply frequently. With proper care, straightening should last longer and should last from 3 to 6 months.
