Does straightened hair get damaged by the environment?
All hair gets damaged by the environment, especially straightened hair. Your hair has been stripped of its natural oils and exposed to chemicals. This leaves your locks more sensitive to environmental elements, like the sun, weather changes, and pollution. This is what makes it essential to implement a good haircare regimen after opting for a permanent straightening treatment, to prevent hair fall.
What should my at-home haircare routine look like if I have straightened hair?
Our PROS suggest sticking to your normal hair care routine, washing every two-three days, conditioning just as often, or more if required. Straightened hair tends to be drier and brittle, so try to include deep conditioning once a week or every 10 days. A good tip to retain moisture after straightening your hair would be to use a good quality leave-in hair serum after you shampoo it. Start incorporating hair vitamins into your diet before you go in for the straightening session—this will help strengthen your hair while preventing hair fall and thinning. Apart from this, try to maintain a healthy diet that is rich in antioxidants and good fats to strengthen your tresses.
How long will straighten hair last?
Keep a razor-sharp eye on the condition of your hair, and opt for a trim every six-eight weeks. This will help get rid of any split ends and damaged edges. Alternatively, you may also find that getting a Keratin treatment is a better option in the long run for the health of your hair. While it merely relaxes the hair and doesn't make it poker straight, it doesn't grow out and leave behind curly roots and flyaways either, like the others.Here are a few products recommended by the PROS for the basic requirements to maintain straight hair:
