This is an oldie but goodie post about how important hydration 💦 is for one’s curls 🌻• • Swipe to see all of my curlfriend, Shanta, & her processes with me 🌻✂️• Curlfriends 🌀🌻 what would y’all like to see on my page in the new year? • • • W A T E R 💦....• • Along with using water soluble products is the key to moisture in the hair, not ingredients like heavy oils & butters #justsaynotococonutoil 👀• • • You see how the water that I’m putting on my client Shanta’s hair is literally just rolling right on off of her hair strands?• • That my curlfriends is the result of extreme buildup of using products with too much oils, butters, or silicones, & replacing your shampoo all together with just a co-wash instead of a surfactant based cleanser is 👏🏽 NOT 👏🏽 giving 👏🏽 your 👏🏽 curls 👏🏽 life. It’s wreaking havoc more than you know • • Oil & water don’t mix, right? So think about what those heavy ingredients & buildup will do to the hair over time 🤔• • • Your hair strands will repel water! Yes yes y’all, your hair will be like when you try to clean broccoli. Yes, you read that right, broccoli 🥦 The water will roll right on off making it hard for you to get any water on your veggies, or in this case, your hair & your scalp 😯• • The heavy ingredients are causing your hair & scalp to suffocate, thus turning your hair into an even more dry palette, your hair is more prone to breakage, & your hair follicles are being blocked which doesn’t promote a healthy scalp for optimal hair growth • • • Water & incorporating water soluble products will help to get your curls popping. That along with going to a professional stylist to help you figure out these key things 🔑• • • Texture, density, porosity, water quality in your area, & the climate of where you live • • • • Last thing, remember that curly hair, no matter the type, texture, etc is naturally dry. We always have to work & encourage moisture in our hair by using the proper things & practices for our hair ✌🏽🌀💦🌻✂️• • • • • #hairbysunflowersandscissors #curlspecialist #fairycurlmother #loveyourcurls #curlyhairtips #naturalhair #hairbrained #beforeandafterhair #columbiasc #curlyhaircare #washandgo #curls (at Kristy Ramos: Curls by Sunflowers And Scissors) https://www.instagram.com/sunflowersandscissors/p/BrN7bdUBfol/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jihrnobzfida
