Using hair cream on straight hair enhances manageability and shine. Here's how:
Preparation and Application
-
Cleanse and Condition: Begin with freshly washed and conditioned hair. This provides a clean base for the cream.
-
Part Your Hair: Part your hair as you normally would. This ensures even distribution of the product.
-
Apply the Cream: Use a tint brush (as suggested by reference 1) to apply the straightening cream. Maintain a distance of approximately 2 centimeters from your scalp when applying the cream. This prevents build-up near the roots.
-
Even Distribution: Gently comb or use your fingers to distribute the cream evenly throughout your hair. Ensure all strands are coated, focusing on the ends for added conditioning and frizz control.
Processing Time
The processing time will depend on your hair type (see reference 2):
- Sensitive/Color-Treated Hair: 10-25 minutes
- Resistant/Dry Hair: 20-35 minutes
- Normal Hair: 15-30 minutes
After applying the cream, cover your hair with plastic wrap (as per reference 2) to help the product penetrate and work effectively.
Rinse and Style
Once the processing time is complete, rinse your hair thoroughly with cool water to remove any excess cream. Then, style your hair as usual. You can air dry, blow dry, or use styling tools to achieve your desired look.
Tips for Best Results
- Start with a small amount: You can always add more cream, but it's difficult to remove excess product.
- Choose the right cream: Select a cream specifically formulated for straight hair to achieve optimal results.
- Consider your hair's needs: If your hair is particularly dry or damaged, you might need a richer, more moisturizing cream.
