What is The Max Hydration Method For Curl Definition?

The Maximum Hydration Method is the new technique on the block that promises to give defined curls to hair that has low porosity as well as no definite texture. Designed by Pinke Cube from Black Hair Media, there is a lot of buzz about this latest hair moisturization method. Read on to know what it's all about! 

What does the method entail?

The Max Hydration Method requires conditioning and clarifying of hair continuously for seven days without a break in between. This technique calls for a complete avoidance of hair care and styling products that have elements like silicones, sulfates, grease, petroleum, and alcohols, in addition to glycerin, aloe vera and its derivatives, and emulsified oils as well. 

How do you go about it?

• Clarify your low and high porosity hair with baking soda and apple cider vinegar respectively, followed by a deep conditioning treatment in the night. Put on a shower cap before you hit the sack. 

• Wash off the conditioner with water in the morning and treat your tresses to a rhassoul or bentonite clay treatment. Let it sit for approximately 15 minutes before rinsing with water again. Apply a leave-in deep hair conditioner followed by a gel as a sealant. 

• Detangle before and after each treatment. 

• Follow the routine for 7 whole days.

Advantages of the method

• You can care for your hair with products free from toxic chemicals.

• Hair is constantly supplied with moisture, leading to good strength.

• Daily detangling makes your tresses more manageable.

Disadvantages of the method

• Constant touching and managing of the hair can sometimes increase hair fall and breakage.

• It's time consuming and not always possible for busy women.

• The method calls for the use of expensive products.
