Straight, thin hair is more fragile and delicate, more easily tangled and broken, tending to dry out more easily, so some care for straight and thin hair includes:
- Use shampoo and conditioner suitable for fine and straight hair; Place conditioner only on the ends of the hair strands; Do not comb your hair when it is wet; Avoid using a hairdryer or flat iron to dry your hair, as they damage hair strands; If it is necessary to use the dryer, apply a thermal protector first, put it at a low temperature and keep it at least 3 centimeters away from the scalp; After drying, comb the hair, starting by untangling the ends of the hair strands and only then go through the strands to the root, because the thin and straight hair breaks more easily After combing, lock the hair with a bun or a braid, about 3 days a week to protect the thin hair from breaking; Moisturize your hair every 15 days, preferring products with keratin to keep the hair strong and resistant.
Another important tip to take care of straight and fine hair is to trim the ends of the hair strands regularly, as thin hair tends to be split easily.
