Benefits Of Squish To Condish
Well, now you propably the understand all of the methods. Unlike traditional methods, it provides a more efficient and longer-lasting result with minimal effort. Here’s why:
- First, this method helps to open the cuticles on your hair strands which allows for better absorption of moisture and nutrients from conditioners or treatments you use.
- Second, It is gentler on your tresses than other types of conditioning because it doesn’t require harsh combing or brushing to penetrate the product into hair strands.
- Third, it allows for deeper penetration of the product into each strand so that all the beneficial ingredients can be absorbed by the hair in its entirety instead of just surface-level conditioning.
- Squish to condish also works faster than conventional methods since it takes less time for products to be absorbed into each strand, thanks to its deep penetration capabilities.
- Finally, this type of conditioning leads to healthier, shinier hair because it’s able to retain moisture better while providing essential nutrients that help strengthen strands and maintain healthy scalp conditions.
Things To Remember While Using Squish To Condish
Although it is an excellent way to condition your hair, there are a few important things to keep in mind:
- Apply squish to damp hair, working it through to the ends.
- Use squish sparingly, as too much can lead to dry hair. It can help add extra moisture to hair and scalp without weighing hair down.
- Rinse hair thoroughly and style as desired.
- Follow with a conditioner to seal in the moisture
- .Use squish as a final step in your curly hair routine, or use it as a hair refresher during the summer months.
- Note that squish is best used on dry hair and scalp. It won’t work effectively on wet hair or the scalp.
- Lastly, store the squish in a cool, dry place for use later.
In summary, squish is a great addition to your curly hair routine when you want extra moisture without weighing your hair down.
Take Note :
It helps hydrate hair and scalp without causing frizz or breakage.
As we mentioned earlier, squish to condish is the latest hair care trend, but there may be better choices for some.
If your curls are prone to tangles and fairy knots or you’re dealing with damage like breakage from color-treating or chemical treatments, squishing can cause more knotting due to raised cuticles that don’t lie flat on already fragile strands. Be aware of this potential before trying out the method!
