A blessing or a curse? Treating curly hair at home.

Is it difficult to treat curly hair at home? Here are some tips on how to tame your curls. If you have a curly crown, you already know that it takes a lot of extra care to really have a crown. Unlike straight and wavy hair types, those with curly hair face a lot more challenges in their daily hair care routine. Curly hair breaks more easily, ends thin, does not grow, lacks luster and is more prone to dryness. The reason for this is that the hair fibers are raised from the scalp, so they do not come into contact with the so-called hydrolipid film layer of the scalp, which is responsible for the natural care of the hair. A "haystack" effect can easily be achieved with a smooth combing. It requires more hydration (both inside and out), maintenance and if we're being honest, more patience than straight hair types.

Curly hair with a hangover

Many of you encounter the problem that curly curls remain beautiful for a day. During sleep, they get tangled and lose their tresses. It is important to have a curling spray with you that you spray on the critical areas every morning, maybe even spray a little water on your hair and reshape it with the help of the diffuser.

Formatting

If you want additional styling after the perfect diffuser blow-dry, you will need extra attention in this area as well. Since heat treatment puts already dry, curly hair under extreme strain, it is important to choose high-quality tools. Although everyone immediately thinks of straightening the hair for the sake of variety when styling, it can also be useful to get a curling iron. An excellent tool for fine-tuning naturally curly hair: it allows you to create curls exactly where you need them. If you only adjust it a little at the ends, in the middle or at the end, you don't even need to subject the whole strand to heat treatment.

Average heat stylers dry out and weaken the hair fibers, but with the help of the Steampod, you can gently style your hair in seconds with the power of steam. While an ordinary hair straightener removes moisture from the hair, the Steampod hydrates it with the help of steam, and the two Steampod products provide extra care. Styling is child's play, even for the most difficult-to-manage hair. You can also buy this in our salon if you want to gently achieve a varied hairstyle. We haven't even tried a better styler!
