Miraculous Hydration Mask
ExploreKeeping straight hair straight and away from frizz can be harder than it looks, but we swear we have a special way to deal with it, diva! In addition to betting on the ideal products, some day-to-day care is essential to keep the strands very shiny and increasingly beautiful. Check out!
Tip 1) Invest in the right products for your hair type
Using the right products for your hair type not only helps keep your hair healthy, but also prevents excessive hair dryness and tangling. Products with very moisturizing ingredients end up having a rebound effect, which is the opposite of the desired effect on a daily basis. Therefore, avoid using products that cause a negative effect instead of actually treating the locks.
Diva tip: read the labels and the description on the packages before buying them to be sure what the promises are and what types of hair that product is for.
Tip 2) Use the thermal protector before using any heat tool
Heat tools, such as the dryer and flat iron, end up attacking the structure of the thread, as the high temperature removes the natural keratin from the threads, leaving them fragile, with the presence of split ends and accelerating breakage. To avoid all these negative effects, the tip is to always use the thermal protector before finishing the locks to protect them in the right way to keep them healthy.
Diva tip: to reverse the effect of split and damaged strands, the tip is to invest in capillary reconstruction with liquid keratin, the product that manages to take care of the structure of the strand!

Tip 3) Bet on specific care to finish straight hair
Some specific care also helps to avoid the presence of frizz in straight hair. One of them is to opt for the cotton towel when drying the wires! The cotton towel lessens the effect of friction between the cloth and the hair, which causes frizz in the hair, allowing the hair to stay “behaved” for much longer. In addition, it is essential to avoid rubbing the towel on the wires so as not to tangle them or even create knots.
Always have a finisher on hand when combing your hair! The ideal thing is that divas with straight hair always opt for a finisher to leave the strands aligned and avoid the presence of frizz. From mousse, leave-in, tip repair oil or a styling cream, there is no shortage of options to choose how to finish your hair and prevent your hair from not being aligned according to your taste.
Another fundamental care is to avoid washing the wires with hot water on a daily basis. Despite being the main choice on colder days, washing your hair with hot water can be harmful to the locks, leaving the strands dry and increasing the presence of frizz. The tip is to sanitize the wires with cold or warm water to seal the cuticles of the wires and maintain the natural shine of your straight hair.
Tip 4) Homemade straightening: discover the treatment that promises to align the hair
With super potent hydration, homemade straightening is that homemade recipe that helps reduce frizz, aligns the wires and even reduces the volume with the “faint hair” effect. And the best part is that our pregnant divas can use and abuse the treatment that does not have chemicals, does not modify or damage the structure of the thread.
But, for the procedure to take effect, the strands need to be very clean to receive the mixture that consists of two basic steps: the hydration mask and finishing with the dryer and flat iron to seal the strands. Each smoothing recipe uses specific ingredients that are super affordable and that you probably already have at home.
Diva tip: for those who want a treatment mask to perform homemade smoothing, our product tip is to have the Miraculous Hydration with Coconut Water + Aloe Extract as the main bet!
