CURLY HAIR
Women who wear curls or waves on their crown often wish for the opposite and want to have straight hair. Let's be honest, taking care of curls is hard work! Curly and wavy hair tends to be naturally drier, more brittle, and frizzier. If you have this hair type, it's good to support it with proper care and give it plenty of nourishment , as it needs it more than naturally straight hair.
All types of curly hair are prone to frizz and dryness , which is why they also require special attention . With proper care, every hair type can look beautiful and healthy . We often encounter customers at Hairtherapy studio who "don't like" their hair, finding its care laborious or, conversely, unnecessary. They then resort to quicker methods to "tame" and style their hair, such as curling irons or straighteners. If they knew how to care for them, I believe they would fall in love with their naturally beautiful curls. These can be maintained in several ways to prevent them from looking dry and unruly.
What to definitely avoid?
It is a great damage to straighten curly hair. Straightening disrupts the natural hair structure, depriving it of hard-won hydration. Also, weighing down hair with styling products or products with a high silicone content is more harmful to the hair because no nourishment penetrates the hair, or hair follicles become clogged and hair subsequently falls out. Perhaps the worst step to straightening curls is to get a chemical treatment for long-lasting hair straightening. Blow-drying with hot air especially deprives curls of hydration, shine, and strength, so it is more suitable to use a diffuser with moderately warm and preferably cool air.
Hard water and curly hair?
Washing hair in hard water leads to excessive mineral buildup on the hair lengths, which then leads to brittle and unruly dry, fragile, hair. Hair is lacking volume and loses its strength and elasticity, becoming shorter, which often makes us feel that our hair is not growing.
How to properly care for this hair type?
Frizz also occurs when you leave your hair loose during sleep. Loose curly hair during sleep is most susceptible to breakage and the aforementioned frizz. The most suitable way to sleep with curly hair is:
silk/satin bonnet for sleeping = the bonnet will ensure your hair stays together and, most importantly, maintains moisture in the hair lengths (if you spray a leave-in conditioner or use another nourishing product before bed) this is the most suitable option for sleeping with curly hair!
gentle braid
A gentle braid or a Dutch braid will ensure your hair doesn't frizz, break, or fall out when you lie on it.
gentle bun
Before going to bed, it is always good to hydrate this type of hair, which literally cries out for it. We definitely recommend spraying Leave-in conditioner before each sleep, so that the hair is nourished even during the night. Another important point in care is proper combing. Curly and wavy hair should not be combed when dry. The best way to comb is definitely when wet after washing, especially with a quality wooden comb with the widest possible spacing of teeth. It is good to avoid plastic brushes, detanglers, or dense combs. Women with curls avoid trimming their ends because they often feel that their hair is not growing and stays at one length for a long time. However, this is just a myth, hair always grows, but if it doesn't get enough of what it needs – hydration, nourishment, proper care, and gentle products – it breaks. Therefore, it is advisable to gently trim split ends every two to three months, before using a suitable hair mask.
Choosing the right products:
Choosing the right products is another important step towards achieving a healthy and beautiful look. Since our proven method is gentleness, our hair cosmetics ANDREINE are a clear choice for us.
First, I must mention our UNIQUE NEW PRODUCT ''VELVET SHAMPOO'' , which is ideal for both the scalp and hair lengths, and uniquely leaves them silky shiny and nourished as after a hair treatment.

VELVET REPAIR may not replace a mask or conditioner, but thanks to its unique composition enriched with Laminaria digitata seaweed, you will feel silky, more nourished hair even on the lengths.
