Textured hair and pollution: how to protect it?

Let's not lie to ourselves: pollution is a real scourge for our textured hair 😩. Between fine smoke particles, dust, and polluting gases that accumulate on the hair fiber and scalp, our curls take a beating! Result? Dryness, breakage, and hair that loses its shine. But don't panic, I'm here to give you the right tips! This is where Jia Paris comes in with its gentle formulas, free of sulfates and silicones, enriched with protective active ingredients to offer effective defense against these external aggressions, you can say bye-bye to damage and keep your hair in great shape. 💆🏽‍♀️🌿

Our hair is like a pollution magnet. Fine particles cling to it, preventing moisture from penetrating properly and leaving a dull film on the hair fiber, making it particularly vulnerable to external aggressions. The result?

• Buildup : Pollution creates an occlusive film on hair, making it dull and weighed down. Not exactly the glow we're looking for 🙅🏾‍♀️.

• Increased dryness 💦: pollutants absorb the hair's natural moisture, increasing its fragility.

• Irritations and sensitivity : fine particles can cause inflammation and itching 😣, making hair more prone to breakage as a bonus, thanks to pollution...

The scalp isn't immune to the ravages of pollution. When it's in survival mode, it's your hair that suffers! Daily exposure to polluting particles disrupts its ecosystem, directly impacting the health and vitality of your hair:

• Particle buildup : Impurities and pollution clog follicles, hello limp hair and slowed growth.

• Sebum imbalance : The scalp can react by producing more sebum (oily hair) or by drying out (appearance of dandruff): too oily or too dry, it doesn't know what to do!

• Decreased blood circulation : Prolonged exposure to pollution can alter the microcirculation of the scalp: fewer nutrients to the roots, therefore more fragile hair 🔄.

Your hair may be lacking moisture, but you may not even know it. Here are some signs that may indicate a lack of moisture:

🌵 Dry Hair : When your hair lacks moisture and feels rough, brittle, or coarse to the touch.

⚫ Dull Hair : When your hair loses its shine and looks lifeless, lackluster, and tired.

🤯 Unmanageable Hair : When your hair is resistant, difficult to style and detangle, and seems to want to follow its own rules.

➿ Frizz : When the hair scales lift to seek moisture in the air, creating unruly strands that swell and stand on end.
