Wednesday's question:why is curly hair dry?

Both my general! Curly (and frizzy) hair has a naturally flat shape + an elliptical structure (=curl). Results ? They are more fragile and break easily at the exact point where the curve begins. Another hassle, their sebaceous glands are generally smaller:they produce little sebum (responsible for keeping water and protecting the hair fiber) and it has trouble making its way along the curls (it's always easier in a straight line!). If, on top of that, the poor lack nourishing care and are subjected to savage and repeated blow-drying and detangling, hello trauma! CQFD:beautiful curly or frizzy hair is ultra-nourished hair with specific shampoos and masks + leave-in creams to be applied daily to the lengths.
