How to keep straight hair beautiful and healthy
- Always hydrate the hair. The more hydrated your hair is, the longer it will look shiny and smooth. For this reason, it is advisable to drink plenty of water and regularly use moisturizing products such as conditioners and masks.
- Comb carefully. Choose wide-bristle and wooden combs as this material removes static electricity from the hair, preventing frizz.
- Eat a healthy and balanced diet. Hair is made up of keratin , a protein produced by the body. Consuming pork, vegetables and fruits provide essential amino acids for hair formation.
- Choose the right products. Use shampoo without salt or sulfates . In addition to keeping hair hydrated, these products nourish the hair fiber and cleanse the scalp.
- Use anti frizz products. Anti- frizz products help keep hair disciplined and smooth throughout the day.
- Avoid applying moisturizing products to the roots of the hair. Straight hair is generally oilier than curly hair, and the scalp tends to produce more sebum when it comes in contact with moisturizers. When using them, try to apply them at least a finger or two away from the scalp and spread through the hairs to the ends.
- Keep hair clean. Straight hair tends to be oilier, so good daily hygiene is essential to maintaining a healthy scalp .

Straight hair products
The right products help to control volume, avoid frizz and keep hair hydrated and protected from daily aggressions. The ideal is to apply non-rinsing masks from the middle to the ends to avoid the appearance of oil since the scalp keeps the roots moisturized with its natural oils.
Apply the mask to the still damp strands to comb, distributing the product between your hands and a comb so that the cosmetic is not concentrated in a single area. Let the hair dry naturally or with the help of a brush, because excessive use of the dryer can leave it heavy and dirty.

Products with keratin and thermal protectors
Intense processes such as straightening and excessive use of a dryer and iron can remove the natural keratin from the hair . The lack of this protein makes hair brittle, dull, porous and almost impossible to untangle. Products that contain keratin in their formula help repair hair day by day, making it easier to style and keeping it smooth and hydrated. Look at the importance of Keratin for Hair.
Women who use the dryer and the iron often to achieve straight hair must be even more careful since it is essential to first apply thermal protectors, which create a film on the hair and protect it from heat.
