Hygral fatigue is common in the summer but understanding the common causes can help you avoid it. #curlsmithpartner 🔹What is hygral fatigue?🔹 Hygral fatigue is when our hair becomes weakened from repeated swelling when the hair gets wet and drying of the hair. When our hair gets wet, it swells, pushing the cuticle out. 🔹Signs of hygral fatigue🔹 - Mushy, limp curls - Poor of curl retention or bounce - Hair strand stretches really far - Breakage, especially when wet - Tangles - Frizz 🔹How can you avoid it?🔹 - Avoid totally saturating your hair with water every single day, if possible. - Use a pre-poo oil to help protect the hair and reduce swelling of the hair shaft during shampooing. - Before swimming, apply an oil, leave-in conditioner, or the Curlsmith Miracle Shield to prevent your hair from chlorine or salt water. - Avoid leaving your hair wet for long periods of time. Scrunch out excess water with a towel before diffusing or air drying. - Do not sleep in your deep conditioner or go to bed with wet hair in a plop.
