The first step is to stop progressive for good!

Obvious, isn't it? Not always! It's just that many divas who want to stop straightening their hair give up the progressive brush, but continue to invest in different types of treatments to reduce the volume that have chemistry, even if at a very low level.

In that case, the ideal is to stop using any type of product that interferes or changes the texture of your hair. However, the time until you completely return to the curls is very personal, as it depends on the period you were straightening your hair, among other factors.

Cut your hair to remove the chemical

Another tip to start taking the progressive out of your hair is to invest in a good cut in the locks. You don't need to bet on a big chop if you don't feel comfortable, but as the progressive brush is practically concentrated on the tips, trimming them is the minimum to start the process.

In addition, depending on the length of your hair, you can invest in a layered cut or even a medium length, shoulder length. If you want to finish the strands with a heat tool, don't forget to use a thermal protector to shield the high temperature locks.

Don't forget to moisturize your hair

Hydration is essential for those who have stopped using the progressive brush and want to recover their curls, especially when the roots are growing. This is because straightening forms a layer around the thread, which prevents it from receiving the nutrients from the concentrated masks.

For those who want to enhance the hydration of the locks, the tip is to mix a little vegetable oil in the moisturizing cream. The natural product will help nourish the locks from root to tip and strengthen the growing curls.

Bet on anti-residue shampoo to speed up the process

Those who do progressive know that you can't exaggerate in washing the locks, because the chemistry comes out more easily with each wash. Therefore, an extra trick for those who want to remove the progressive brush is to bet on an anti-residue shampoo to sanitize the wires.

The product acts deeply on the hair fiber, accelerating the removal of impurities and also the chemistry of the hair. But no exaggerating in use, diva! Once a week is enough. And don't forget to moisturize, as shampoo tends to dry out your hair.
