Hair breakage is one of the most common problems for people with kinky and curly hair. Hair breaking when combed, strands snapping, lengths that don't grow... These signs indicate that your hair fiber is weakened. Here are 7 effective tips to stop breakage and regain strong hair.
1. Hydrate your hair regularly
Dry hair is the most fragile. Well-hydrated hair is elastic and more resistant to manipulation. Adopt the LOC or LCO method to seal in moisture durably. Use our Pouss Pouss Moisturizing Detangling Spray daily to maintain optimal hydration levels.
2. Always detangle on damp hair
Never detangle kinky hair dry! First, spray a hydrating spray, apply a detangler, and use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers. Always start from the ends and gradually work your way up to the roots.
3. Reduce excessive manipulation
Every manipulation is a source of stress for the hair. Opt for protective hairstyles (braids, twists, buns) that limit friction and daily manipulation. Leave your hair alone!
4. Avoid excessive heat
Heated tools (flat iron, high-temperature hairdryer) weaken keratin and cause breakage. If you use heat, always apply a heat protectant and reduce the frequency.
5. Nourish your hair from within
Hair health starts from within. A diet rich in proteins, B vitamins, zinc, and iron promotes hair growth and strength. Also, remember to hydrate well by drinking enough water.
6. Do regular restorative treatments
Apply a nourishing hair mask or an oil bath once a week. Our Pouss Pouss Revitalizing and Strengthening Oil is ideal for intensive treatments: apply it to the scalp and lengths, leave it on overnight under a satin bonnet.
7. Protect your hair at night
The cotton in your pillow absorbs moisture from your hair and creates friction that promotes breakage. Sleep with a satin or silk bonnet, or use a satin pillowcase. This simple step can significantly reduce nighttime breakage.
In summary
Stopping hair breakage requires regularity and the right products. With a suitable routine and Maison Crépue treatments, your hair will regain strength, elasticity, and vitality. The key: hydration, gentleness, and protection!
