Curls of Your Way Deep Hydration Mask
ExploreHydration with cornstarch for curly hair is a great strategy for that moment of a little more intensive care for your locks without having to leave the house. Treatment serves to replace the water that the wires lose every day with air humidity, pollution and different types of chemical processes, for example. Maizena (or cornstarch) is especially responsible for retaining this water in the thread for longer. That is: it is even more recommended for those who are always wondering how to hydrate curly hair. Find out, down here, the step-by-step of this homemade curly hair hydration!
Hydration with cornstarch for curly hair: how to do it
Before starting your homemade recipe for hydration for curly hair with cornstarch, you must separate all the items you will need to facilitate the process. Take a look below:
1) a hydration mask;
2) two to three tablespoons of cornstarch;
3) three glasses of water.
Before you start, you will need to make a “cornstarch cream”
In its most common form, which is powdered, cornstarch can even be used on the hair, but it works as an option to disguise the oiliness of the hair. For hydration, you will need to cook it until you get a homogeneous mixture. Look at the step by step:
Step 1: mix, in a pan, the three glasses of cold water with two or three spoons of cornstarch (depending on the amount of hair you have). It is important that this first step happens with the fire off to prevent the mixture from lumping;
Step 2: after dissolving all the cornstarch in the water, place the pan over low heat and stir until it thickens and forms a homogeneous mixture, which looks like a white cream;
Step 3: wait for this cornstarch cream to cool down and mix it, in a small pot, with two or three tablespoons of your hydration mask in another small pot.
Diva Tip: it's important that the mask is really moisturizing so that its ingredients work together with the cornstarch while acting on the hair.

Step 2: after removing excess water, divide the hair into four parts;

Step 4: after applying it completely to each section, twist or braid the strands so that the homemade recipe better penetrates the hair fiber;

Step 6: thoroughly rinse the mixture out of your hair and finish the process with a conditioner to seal the ends.
How to finish the hair after moisturizing with cornstarch
After putting into practice the whole step-by-step hydration with cornstarch for curly hair, you will need to finish the strands, right? At that moment, you may feel the need to use less cream to comb through the process: be careful to avoid product buildup in the hair, okay?
Separate the strands into four parts again and apply the cream evenly to all of them. Wait a few minutes for the hair to dry a little, put a few drops of your favorite hair oil in your hand and scrunch the curls to prevent frizz and enhance definition. When it's even drier, loosen the strands by shaking your head and running your fingers through the roots to get volume. That's it: get ready for some amazing day afters!
