      Your shower water could easily be messing with your bouncy curls. Hard water and chemicals are found in most municipal water supplies, and while they are safe for consumption, they have compounding negative effects on your hair, skin, and scalp. Additionally, unfiltered shower water can actually decrease the effectiveness of your hair and skin care products, which translates to lower value for you, and we all know that that product is not cheap. Read on to learn how a Jolie Filtered Showerhead can help you care for your curly hair and help your beauty products work to their fullest potential. 

      The Science Behind Curly Hair Maintenance

      Curly hair is a unique trait that is often sought after, so if you’ve got it, you gotta flaunt it. Curly hair is specifically defined by that classic spiral or wavy shape, and is the result of genetics, leading to a slightly irregular follicle shape. Flat and oval-shaped follicles lead your hair to have that classic wave or total twirl, whereas perfectly round follicles lead to straight hair. The specific shape and curl of your specific hair is also influenced by genetics, hormones, and environmental factors (like humidity).

      Selecting the Right Products for Curly Hair

      Curly hair, with its unique charm, craves special care and attention. Opt for sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners enriched with hydrating ingredients like shea butter or argan oil. These products cleanse without stripping away precious natural oils, leaving your curls bouncy and full of life. Embrace moisture-rich formulas to combat the inherent dryness of curly hair, fostering a luscious texture that feels as good as it looks. Look for products designed to define curls, taming frizz and enhancing those beautiful coils.

      Your curls deserve the royal treatment – nourish them with love and moisture for a head-turning mane that reflects your natural beauty. Aside from your cleansing products, your shower water will play a major role in the definition of your curls, as hard water and chemicals found  in your untreated shower water will strip your hair’s natural oil, as well as hinder the production of new oil. These hard water minerals actually build up on your follicles, reducing your hair’s ability to self-regulate and moisturize, which will reduce your hair’s natural shine and kill your curls.

      Techniques for Gentle Cleansing and Detangling

      There are plenty of ways to prep your hair for a protective and nourishing shower experience, but the lead among them is to do a deep-moisturizing oil treatment. This provides and locks in additional moisture and can be easily cleaned away- it will also ultimately soak into your scalp leaving a healthier, happier base for your hair to grow from. If you suffer from flakiness, this type of treatment can be an amazing benefit. From here, the shower process is fairly simple- be gentle and loving with your hair, and do not be rough and fast. Treat your hair gently without tugging or scrubbing intensely, as this can contribute to frailty and breakage. The same goes for your rinse at the end- keep the temperature on the lower end, and rinse gently, allowing time for your Jolie Filtered Showerhead to do the work. This will help to keep your hair defined and frizz-free.

      Preventing Curly Hair Loss in the Shower

      Showering and caring for curly hair is all about maintaining the curls that many people work hard for. The real trick comes in when your curly hair is shedding at an above-normal rate, as maintaining the curl can be hard enough without worrying about losing the hair altogether. Determining the cause of your hair loss can be challenging, but the root cause doesn’t have to stop you from doing all you can to prevent it. 

      When it comes to showering, you have to employ the above methods for maintaining your curls, but you have to also be mindful of how your shower practices might be affecting your growth and retention. First of all, as previously mentioned, the impurities in your shower water are absolutely contributing to your hair loss. Aside from chlorine, which is used to sanitize your local water supply, will harshly strip the oils from your hair which act as a moisturizer and protectant. This results in dry, brittle, unprotected hair that is highly prone to breakage as well as increased rates of hair fall. The minerals and dissolved solids found in hard water will build up on your remaining hair and on your scalp, choking the life out of your hair from the base, which makes your strands want to take the leap to freedom.

      By simply switching to a Jolie Filtered Showerhead, you prevent all of these villains in the comic book of your hair vitality vanquished by your own personal superhero- your showerhead. But caring for your hair and follicles goes beyond just shower care- make sure your hair and body are getting the same nourishment from your lifestyle as they are from your daily cleansing routine. Nutrition plays a major role in your hair growth, where protein, biotin, vitamin A, and more all play a vital role in the production and growth of healthy, beautiful hair.
