Curly hair

International trade and fashion magazines and TV hairstyles have more volume with movement, curls and waves. Curly hair tends to be naturally drier. If we make hair curly with chemistry it will certainly be drier. Add color or highlights and you get even drier hair - frizzy, straw-like, and dull. What are the hallmarks of well-cared-for curly hair? Sheen, flow, volume, bounce, distinctive curl--not frizz. How do you get that? Three things: condition, condition, condition!

Tip
Sleep on satin pillows, which will not absorb oils from the hair. Don't brush curls, you'll lose them. To avoid frizz, don't disturb curly hair while it's drying.
CLEANSE
Choose a shampoo that is gentle, scalp specific and right for your hair texture. Most moisture retention will come from MC shampoo, most lipids from D shampoo, most fullness and protein from DF shampoo. GL shampoo is excellent for long, curly hair.
TONE
To re-establish the natural pH balance, moisture and antiseptic qualities, apply Balance scalp lotion. For a tailor-made lotion, consult with an ÆSTELANCE Specialist to add Aromazones suited to your scalp condition.
MOISTURIZE
Three vital elements are needed to condition hair--protein, lipids and moisture. Oil-dry hair needs the lipids found in Oil complex. Moisture-dry hair needs Mud mask, which adds moisture-lots of it. Fine, limp hair gets strength from Energy. Ask your ÆSTELANCE Specialist about Repair emulsion treatments, which infuse the hair with moisture and light lipids. Repair cream treatments contain all three elements and give the necessary strength for a more defined curl pattern. Coarser, damaged hair needs Protein mask, which contains all three vital components and is richer in lipids. It also has a softening property. Balm is an ideal leave-in to prevent frizz and to calm coarse hair. Hydrate is excellent for very fine hair.
DESIGN
ÆSTELANCE design products have sun protection. Trigel provides a light hold and enhances your curls. Use Hair cream with a light touch and the hair will shine and sparkle without any silicones. There are natural sun filters in Lustre (Camellia Oil) and in Butter (Shea Butter).
