This
is African hair (as indicated by the groove along its length): this
type of hair, more than any other, needs the protection of conditioning
|
smooth and shiny (less 'fly-away')- Dimethicone protects the hair from
damage by reducing its resistance to brushing, combing and styling,
when wet as well as when dry.
Other ingredients in conditioners and other hair care preparations
also work to smooth the outer layers of the cuticle. These may include
protein extracts (collagen, and the amino acids obtained from silk) and
panthenol and similar compounds, which are related to vitamin B5. Some
of these are known to penetrate hair and to help to increase its
moisture content. Well-conditioned hair is quite easy to de-tangle. Use
a large-toothed comb or brush with rounded ends.
The only way to avoid split ends altogether is to use preventive
conditioning and to avoid all chemical treatments. Split ends, if they
do develop, can never be repaired 'like new'. The so-called 'split end
repair fluids' are applied
