Thinking about taking care of your hair, but it stays dull? Getting shiny hair is no small feat. Many factors can alter the surface of the hair, which no longer reflects light. Colorings, highlights, hair dryers and heating plates strongly sensitize the cuticle, the envelope that encloses the keratin of the hair. To have shiny hair, it is necessary to prevent the scales from opening and leaving the hair defenseless. With its very greasy texture and highly nutritious composition, castor oil protects the surface of the hair. Over the uses, the hair is stronger. Better coated, it is less prone to damage or break. The scales close, the hair reflects the light better.
The goal is to soften your hair. Less rough, the hair reflects the light better. To do this, use the same technique as for nourishing the hair:just bathe your lengths in oil. Do not hesitate to mix castor oil with another vegetable oil in addition to facilitate application. Leave on for 2 hours or overnight then wash off with a mild shampoo. Rinse well to avoid ending up with oily hair. If your hair is healthy but lacks shine, limit yourself to one application per week. The results are seen without waiting too long (about after the third week of application). A miracle, we tell you!
Too much care could suffocate the hair, especially if it contains silicones. Limit yourself to what is strictly necessary:shampoo, conditioner, a weekly mask if your hair is normal, with each shampoo if it is dry. You can also add castor oil to your conditioner for express care. To do this, nothing could be simpler than mixing a drop of castor oil with a dab of conditioner, leaving it on for 1 to 3 minutes before rinsing. To properly close the scales, you can adopt this grandmother's secret:rinse your hair with cider vinegar. Take a 1 L bottle of water and dilute 3 tablespoons of cider vinegar in it. Use this mixture as the last rinse water. You can also find your rinsing water on the market. Last option:use a shine serum to smooth the scales after brushing. These are generally not deep treatments, but simply finishing products that serve to polish the material. Some men continue to use castor oil to shine their beards, as was common in the past.
