Whether your curls are tight or loose, long or short – we all suffer with frizz and lack of definition. Vegan silk can be the answer to your problems!
Preserving your results
When it comes to caring for textured hair, natural hair products are a core essential. From clarifying to moisturising, each product has a unique role. Products give the necessary boost of nourishment to help give healthy results. Once you’ve achieved those results, it’s important to preserve them.
Having a great wash day only for those results to only last a couple days is extremely discouraging. Using high quality and natural products is the first step to increasing longevity. The second step involves changing damaging practices.
The biggest killers of results
1) Hairstyles – tight, constrictive hairstyles pull at your curls and slowly stretch them out. To avoid this, it’s best to stick to gentle hairstyles.
2) Sleeping – pillowcases and sheets suck the moisture out of hair, leaving it dry and frizzy. On top of this, sleeping on your hair crushes the curls and stretches them.
3) low quality products. Many hair products use cheap ingredients that give off very temporary results. Using high quality, natural hair products makes a big difference in how your results hold up.
The solution
Vegan silk is an effective solution for helping increase curl longevity. Vegan silk accessories can be used to ensure gentleness, give comfort and reduce breakage. At night, you can use vegan silk sleep bonnets to give the hair a soft barrier. Sheets and pillowcases have the tendency to withdraw moisture out of the curls, which is why a vegan silk barrier is important.
Styling with vegan silk accessories
- Scrunchies
- Skinny scrunchies (a cross between a hair tie and scrunchie)
- Headbands
Extra tip for maximum results: remember to stay away from tight hairstyles. Using vegan silk is a great first step, but if you’re doing tight hairstyles then this will reduce your curls’ longevity.
Sleeping with vegan silk
- Moisture is retained, resulting in less dryness (which also means less frizz)
- Increased moisture helps curls stay defined for longer
- Hair lasts longer in between wash days
- Hair is preserved and need less refreshing
- Less tangles and knots form
Bonus tip: it’s important to make sure your bonnet is adjustable, otherwise you risk it falling off at night!
