Dry shampoo for curly hair: why are my curls always dehydrated?
To remain supple and hydrated, the hair fiber uses sebum produced by the sebaceous glands at its root, on the scalp. However, when the fiber is wavy, the sebum has a much harder time spreading along the length. In fact, most of the time, it doesn’t make it. That’s why curly, frizzy, or coily hair is always dry, and why dry shampoo for curly hair was created to save it.
3 characteristics of curly hair
In the vast majority of cases, curly hair is dry and more porous than straight hair. This makes it harder for moisturizing or treatment agents in hair care products to be absorbed.
Naturally finer, curly hair is also more fragile or easily damaged, especially because it requires much more brushing force to detangle thoroughly.
Finally, applying and distributing the care products they need to stay healthy is made more difficult by their spiral shape. Quite simply, moisturizing and nourishing agents do not travel as easily on curly hair as they do on straight hair.
However, regularly using a dry shampoo for curly hair applied in the shower, while the hair is wet and relaxed, could change everything.
Solid shampoo or dry shampoo for your curly hair?
Indeed, before going any further and choosing the right shampoo for your textured hair, it’s important to take a moment to clarify: what’s the difference between solid shampoo and dry shampoo?
It’s simple! Solid shampoo (which is also a dry shampoo) looks just like a bar of soap and is used in the shower on wet hair. Dry shampoo, on the other hand, comes in the form of a powder or spray to be applied to the roots on dry hair, massaging the scalp to purify it.
A challenge in both cases for curly hair! However, while the powder from dry shampoo may get “stuck” at the roots, solid shampoo can glide through more easily.
Corine de Farme’s tips for hydrating and caring for curly hair
Curly hair needs natural care, and that’s great, because Clean Beauty is exactly where Corine de Farme excels! To respect their soft and delicate nature, curly hair needs to be cared for as much as it needs to be respected.
One shampoo per week is enough. To avoid drying out the hair fiber or irritating the scalp, avoid washing your curly hair too often. Use a suitable shampoo along with a conditioner, and between washes, apply a dry shampoo for curly hair to refresh the roots.
After shampooing, dry your hair gently, preferably letting it air dry, and don’t forget to “scrunch” it to help reform the curls. With every wash, remember to hydrate your curls, for example with a spray oil, and when the weather turns rainy, opt for an anti-frizz cream.
Finally, if you feel like it, visit your hairdresser three or four times a year for a little trim and to get rid of split ends at the same time.
