People have the wrong idea about curly hair.<\/p>\n
They think that curls should just be washed and air dried and then ready.<\/p>\n
But curly hair is pretty complex.<\/p>\n
And requires a lot of care, especially type 4c hair, also known as afros. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Do you have curls?<\/p>\n I invite you to test your hair to know if you need a protein treatment. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Do you accept?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Look carefully at your curls.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you answered yes even to just one of these questions, then you urgently need a protein treatment. <\/span>\n <\/p>\n I know.<\/p>\n I\u2019m sure that you never heard anyone talk about this treatment.<\/p>\n We always hear a lot about haircare for women that flat iron their hair or do a straightening keratin treatment.<\/p>\n But caring for curly hair, nothing.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a shame that these days that we are left off to one side.<\/p>\n But I decided to take on the issue for those of us that have type 4C hair.<\/p>\n Have you also never heard talk of type 4C hair?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Don\u2019t worry.<\/p>\n Here is the torch bearer of curly hair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That\u2019s why, I\u2019ll tell you:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Are you a part of the lines of us that want to know everything about how to keep our curls healthy?<\/p>\n Yes?<\/p>\n So, let\u2019s keep going my brave curly-haired girl!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n The world classifies things into types.<\/p>\n Types of letters.<\/p>\n Types of trees.<\/p>\n Types of hair.<\/p>\n And hair is no exception.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n History marks a person responsible for this classification of hair types.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The famous television host, Oprah Winfrey.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Well, actually, I should say the stylist of the famous American host and interviewer.<\/p>\n In reality, Andre Walker created a classification system for hair according to texture.<\/p>\n A system that helps us to know what type of hair products are best for each hair type.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To classify hair, this famous stylist observed the internal structure of the hair. <\/span>\n The amount of curl, wave or lack there of depends on the number of disulfuric bonds between the proteins of the hair which can be found on the stalk itself.<\/p>\n The larger the number of links, the curlier the hair.<\/p>\n The less the number of links, the straighter the hair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, the hair is formed by keratin, a protein that grows from the hair follicles<\/a>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also formed of other types of proteins.<\/p>\n All of these proteins become part of the hair and contain sulfur atoms.<\/p>\n When two sulfur atoms unite, they form a disulfuric bond.<\/p>\n If the two sulfur atoms in the same change are far away from each other, they come together to form a disulfuric bond and that is how our curls are created.<\/p>\n Then, apart from this, Walker classified four types of hair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, within these categories, there are subcategories.<\/p>\n To not get into a master\u2019s class on hair, let\u2019s go directly to what you and I are interested in.<\/p>\n The 4th category: very curly hair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In this category, there are three subcategories:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My hair has not defined curl patter and the texture isn\u2019t homogenous.<\/p>\n Meaning, it\u2019s hard for me to shape my hair styles.<\/p>\n When I touch it, it almost always feels dry.<\/p>\n It\u2019s prone to breaking, so, when I wash my hair, I see a ton of hair on the floor of the tub<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And the worst is that it seems like it never grows.<\/p>\n As you can see, I just named all the problems that I had with my 4C hair.<\/p>\n Which is probable that it\u2019s the same type that you have.<\/p>\n Do you want me to tell you the truth?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is best to treat very curly hair like you would treat a silk cocoon. <\/span>\n Because, just like those, it is very, very fragile.<\/p>\n That\u2019s how I was, trying to find alternatives for my insanely delicate hair like a silk cocoon.<\/p>\n And the solution came after a lot of research.<\/p>\n Protein-based treatments.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t be impatient.<\/p>\n Now, I\u2019ll tell you what they are.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Like I told you at first, hair is basically made up of proteins.<\/p>\n So I realized that I need to nourish my hair with protein.<\/p>\n That is vital.<\/p>\n Why?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Protein and moisture have a co-dependent relationship.<\/p>\n An adequate balance between proteins and moisture lead to healthy hair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Protein deficient hair tends to break. And if it lacks moisture, the same thing happens. <\/span>\n But it also breaks, if there is an excess of either of those two.<\/p>\n Yes, my friend, curly hair is complicated<\/a>.<\/p>\n The secret is in the balance.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Every hair has a protective, outer layer of cells called the cuticle.<\/p>\n This cuticle has a corkscrew shape, and in our curly hair, it constantly comes up, meaning, the outer layer looks like they were raised feathers with small spaces between them.<\/p>\n Because of those spaces, moisture and nutrients escape.<\/p>\n And finally, the disulfuric chains weaken.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Deep, protein-based treatments replace the nutrients and the moisture that curly hair constantly loses. <\/span>\n Because it helps reconnect the protein chains within the cuticle of the hairs, strengthening each strand.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Do your curls look droopy and flat?<\/p>\n Do your curls feel too soft or don\u2019t maintain their shape?<\/p>\n Then your curls need a protein treatment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And the winner is\u2026<\/p>\n Gelatin!<\/p>\n Gelatin is pure protein.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a translucent powder made from the hydrolysis of collagen, which is a protein extracted from the cartilage and bones of animals.<\/p>\n What are the benefits of using gelatin as a protein treatment in your curly hair? <\/span>\n <\/p>\n Gelatin is a hydrolyzed protein whose amino acids have been broken down which means that it brings together the broken disulfuric bonds.<\/p>\n That means that it strengthens the curls and it will give them back their balance and elasticity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s very easy to apply and to make.<\/p>\n And overall, it\u2019s really cheap.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Buy a flavorless gelatin, the basic.<\/p>\n You won\u2019t want your curls smelling like strawberry or lemon. Although, when it comes to taste, nothing is written in stone.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Method of Preparation:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Method of Application:<\/p>\n Here, it\u2019s very important for me to clarify.<\/p>\n You should check how your curls are affected through trial and error.<\/p>\n Start with two or three minutes and check the tightness of your hair.<\/p>\n If it doesn\u2019t become very tight, increase the exposition time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can use a sulfate-free shampoo.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The gelatin acts on the internal layer of the cuticle, where the proteins are formed.<\/p>\n However, the external layer of the hair can feel tight and hard after this treatment.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to use a deep-conditioning mask<\/a> to have the finish worthy of a queen.<\/p>\n\n\n
