Achieving that flawlessly straight, smooth hairstyle feels amazing! But the journey doesn’t end after the smoothening treatment. Proper aftercare is crucial to maintain those gorgeous results and keep your hair healthy. Here at Kesh, we’re here to guide you through the essential steps on how to take care of hair after smoothening.
The Golden Rule: Give Your Hair Time to Set (3 Days)
This might be the toughest part, but it’s incredibly important. After your smoothening treatment, avoid contact with water for at least 3 days. This allows the treatment to fully set and lock in the straightness. Resist the urge to wash your hair, tie it up tightly, or even pin it behind your ears.
Gentle Cleansing is Key (Sulfate-Free Shampoos)
Once the 3 days are up, it’s time for your first post-smoothening wash. Ditch your regular shampoo and opt for a sulfate-free formula. Sulfates are harsh cleansers that can strip away the smoothening treatment, making your hair frizzy and dull. Kesh offers a range of gentle, sulfate-free shampoos specifically designed for smoothened hair.
Deep Conditioning: Your Hair’s BFF
Dryness is a common enemy of smoothened hair. To combat this, incorporate deep conditioning treatments into your routine at least once a week. Deep conditioners add intense moisture and prevent dryness, keeping your hair smooth and manageable. Look for products infused with nourishing ingredients like argan oil, shea butter, or coconut oil.
Heat Styling with Caution: Less is More
Minimize your reliance on heat styling tools like straighteners and curling irons. Excessive heat can damage your hair and undo the smoothening effects. If you must use them, opt for the lowest heat setting possible and always apply a heat protectant spray beforehand. Kesh’s heat protectant sprays create a protective barrier on your hair, minimizing heat damage and keeping it healthy.
Embrace Leave-in Conditioners for Added Frizz Control
Leave-in conditioners provide an extra layer of protection and moisture for your smoothened hair. They help control frizz, add shine, and make your hair more manageable. Apply a leave-in conditioner after towel-drying your hair and focus on the mid-lengths and ends.
Sleeping Habits Matter: Minimize Friction
The way you sleep can also impact your smoothened hair. Opt for a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction while you sleep. This prevents tangles, breakage, and keeps your hair smooth and frizz-free in the morning.
