Brazilian locks, often made from natural hair or extensions, require special care to preserve their quality and shine. Here are a few tips on how to look after them:
1. Gentle washing: Use a sulphate-free shampoo and a moisturising conditioner. Wash your hair every 3 to 5 days to prevent it from becoming too dry.
2. Moisturise: Regularly apply a nourishing hair mask or oil (such as argan or coconut oil) to keep strands hydrated and shiny.
3.Air-dry : If possible, let your hair air-dry. If you use a hairdryer, opt for a low heat setting.
4. Avoid excessive heat: Limit the use of straightening and curling irons. Always use a heat protection spray when applying them.
5. Gentle detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush specially designed for extensions to avoid breaking the strands.
6. Regular touch-ups: If you wear extensions, be sure to have them checked and touched up regularly by a professional.
7. Avoid heavy products: Limit the use of gels or heavy products that can weigh down strands and make them look dull.
8. Protect your hair at night: Use a satin or silk pillowcase and tie your hair in a loose braid or bun to reduce friction.
By following these tips, you'll prolong the life of your Brazilian locks while preserving their shine and softness.
