You don't have to give up color appointments to get healthier strands of Brazilian hair. Instead of reverting back to pre-dye life, consider paring down your coloring routine for a few months by opting for a gloss treatment.
Colored gloss can revitalize a once vibrant and shiny color, soften grown-out highlights to give you more time before your next coloring appointment, and banish brassiness. Need more convincing? This treatment works on every Human hair type and texture, can be done by any colorist, and costs far less than a highlight or full color.
Ditch The Dead Weight
Benjamin Matat, head of artistic direction at Mure Salon in New York City, urges his clients to check whether or not a product has expired. Anything that has dried out, separated, or past the 'period after opening' time indicated on the bottom of the packaging (if it has one, that is) is ready to be tossed. Why should you care? Matat says that using old products will lead to buildup — and could even prevent new growth from coming in strong.
Consider ridding your bathroom of more than just the things that have gone bad. Cutting the clutter will help you pick the right products for better virgin human hair days, too.
Use Protection
Incorporating no-heat and low-manipulation styles into your routine is important for long-term health. Think: A chic bun over head of barrel curls. Mischa G suggests adding oils and experimenting with braided styles to give your brazilian hair a break from hot tools and pulling.
Girls with natural hair can try a litany of protective styles, from faux dreads to box braids, to lock in moisture and protect delicate ends. If you can’t part ways with heat, Cal Ellis, curl master and educator at DevaCurl, says wavy and curly girls should try a round-brush blowout for a straighter look that is gentle on the strands. To retain moisture while you snooze, Ellis also suggests sleeping on a satin pillowcase as cotton often draws out water from your hair.
Find A Routine — & Stick To It
Going to bed without slathering on your favorite night cream sounds like death to your complexion, right? To reset your brazilian human hair, you must treat your tresses similarly. “Everyone has a face ritual,” says Matat. “People need to also establish a hair ritual. Spend 5-10 minutes on your hair by using a mask or oil and you’re set for the next two or three days.”
Mischa G suggests breaking down your hair ritual to help you craft a routine for your needs and goals. “Determine what your hair type is and decide what you want to change or maintain. Then break it down into steps: cleanse and condition, moisturize and detangle, styling and finally a finishing product.”
