10. Natural straightening for frizzy hair
The truth is that curly hair is wonderfully natural. However, some women don’t like their more natural locks. However, the ideal is for them to receive special and specific care.
Because this type of hair is the most resistant and has difficulty maintaining straightening. And this happens because the curvature of the curly hair curl is quite closed. However, the intensity of straightening must be proportionally greater.
Basically, this type of hair can use any of these recipes mentioned, for example, the use of cornstarch. This ingredient is known for adding shine, eliminating dryness and also hydrating the hair.
However, the only difference is that the procedures must be repeated more times, and with less time between them. For example, to achieve the perfect straightening you hope to achieve, do homemade straightening masks more often during the week.
A supreme tip for those with curly hair, in fact, is to stay away from procedures with formaldehyde or relaxation. Because these are the ones that destroy the hair the most.
