With fall setting in, our curly hair sometimes starts to get a little wild. Curls lose their pretty shape. The ends become dry. Not to mention the mornings when our entire hairstyle seems to have disappeared overnight. And frankly, when you already don’t have enough time to get ready, spend half an hour reforming your curls? We could do without it.
Fortunately, taking care of your curly hair doesn’t necessarily require a huge budget. The proof with this mask signed Lovea, which caught our eye. Its large 390 ml pot costs less than $10 on the brand’s website. And with its delicious smell of mango, it has something to reconcile us with our next hair routine.
An ultra-hydrating mask for curly hair
We start with what made us want to discover this treatment: mango. Lovea worked with a perfumer from Grasse to imagine a particularly delicious fragrance. Enough to transform a Sunday shampoo into a little vacation time (even when it’s raining outside).
But behind this good smell hides an interesting formula. This hair mask contains mango butter, known for its nourishing power. A real plus for curls, whose spiral shape makes the distribution of sebum more difficult to the ends. The brand has also integrated arginine into its silicone-free formula. The goal? Find more flexible lengths and curls that regain their pretty shape. Lovea even claims 36% more hydration and shine after 28 days.
The smart treatment that avoids having to multiply products
This is probably what we prefer about this Lovea mask for curly hair: the multi-use aspect. In the shower, you can simply use it after shampooing. When the lengths are particularly dry, leave it on for five minutes before rinsing. But what we like even more is being able to use it without rinsing. See those mornings where some strands have completely lost their shape? A dab of product on the lengths can help get them back into shape and off we go! Be careful not to be too heavy-handed, however.
How to restore bounce to your curls in the morning without shampooing again?
The easiest way is to start by lightly moistening the strands that have lost their shape. We then take a very small quantity of Lovea mask, which we distribute over the lengths. To help the curls reform, gently lift the ends towards the roots with your hands. This gesture, called , allows them to revive their drawing. It is then better to let it dry without touching your hair too much, otherwise it will cause frizz.
Is this Lovea hair mask suitable for fine hair?
Yes, especially for wavy hair that needs softness without losing its volume. On the other hand, if the lengths are thin, it is better to use with rinsing. Too generous a quantity of leave-in treatment could weigh down strands and relax waves. The brand mainly recommends its range for hair type 2A to 3C.
How to keep your curls defined for 72 hours?
The secret is not just in the mask. Setting after washing matters a lot. On hair that is still damp, a styling gel helps maintain the shape of the curls after drying. At night, sleeping on a satin pillowcase also helps limit friction. And above all, avoid dry brushing the lengths if you want to preserve their definition.
