What affects curl density? Key factors to know
An easy method to find out your hair’s curl density is to check your scalp visibility. Using a mirror, check if you’re scalp is visible from different angles; if it is, you probably have low-density hair. On the other hand, if you’re scalp is completely hidden, then you probably have high-density hair.
Several factors play a role in determining a person’s hair density, including:
- Age
- Genetics
- Regular hair routine
- Stress levels
How to Improve Hair Density: Hot Tips
If you’re someone having low-density hair, dont worry! Here are a few tips that can increase hair density.
- Nourish Your Scalp for Healthier, Thicker Curls: An essential step that gets overlooked during wash days is taking the time to massage your scalp. This massage not only feels good but also improves hair follicle growth and increases blood circulation.
- Choose Curl-Boosting Ingredients: Curls thrive on the presence of moisturizing ingredients like:
- Murumu butter
- Hibiscus extract
- Coconut water
- Primrose oil
These ingredients work together to prevent frizz, boost natural shine, hydrate, and
promote hair growth.
Use Caution With Some Hair Habits: Some tips to keep in mind when styling your hair are:
- When using a heat styler like a blow dryer or curling iron, remember to keep your hair strands protected by using a lightweight protectant. This helps maintain your healthy hair.
- Opt for protective hairstyles like a loose bun or braids, which prevent your hair from breakage. Choosing protective hairstyles that minimize pulling is a great choice that lets you enjoy a beautiful look with no damage to your hair.
Build a Curl Care Routine for Maximum Density: The secret to the most luscious and voluminous curls lies in creating a curl routine that is suitable for your curl type. Some products that can work wonders for your curls, which can be included in your curl routine, are:
