Avocado in the hair? Expert tells benefits of fruit for curly and frizzy hair
According to Cleiton Vítor Pereira, hairdresser with deep knowledge in hair products and founding partner of Felps Professional, avocado oil is the ideal ingredient to restore the nutrition and health of frizzy, curly and transitioning hair.
In food, avocado is recommended for its healthy fats. For hair, the indication is no different. Nutritious for the body as a whole, the fruit’s success lies in its oil, which makes up about 77% of its total, and which deeply repairs the hair. Its action is mainly indicated for frizzy, curly and transitioning hair, as it suffers more damage from external components and because it loses more water and nutrients, which results in dryness, breakage, frizz and even the appearance of dandruff. In addition to the powerful oil, avocado has proteins that strengthen the hair fiber, amino acids that promote resistance, oleic acid that activates sun protection, folic acid that helps in the growth of locks, magnesium that helps in the fight against hair loss, in addition to vitamins A, B, C, D and E that provide nutrition for the fiber and prevent scalp flaking.
“The thicker strands are more difficult to penetrate and olive oil and oil extracted from avocado is ideal. Because it has a high beneficial fat content, its action enters the axis of the hair follicles, repairing damage in depth and for a long time, lubricating the thirstiest strands and protecting the hair cuticle from loss due to dehydration and aggressive chemical treatments”, explains Cleiton Vítor Pereira, hairdresser with deep knowledge in hair cosmetics and partner of Felps Professional, a Brazilian brand of hair treatments for professionals and consumers looking for high performance. “Straight and wavy hair should be careful with the substance that can weigh down the thinnest strands and increase oil production”, he adds.
Thinking about meeting this public’s demand by offering a natural, high-quality and cost-effective option, Felps Professional, a brand developed by Cleiton, in partnership with its partner and businesswoman Juliana Piria, launches the Avocado Oil line. Ideal for those looking for defined and healthy curls, the seven products – Shampoo, Conditioner, Mask, Curl Activator, Jelly, Humidifier and Humectant – are rich in proteins, amino acids, minerals and vitamins, as well as fresh avocado. With high nutrition power, they do not contain a large amount of salt in the composition, which helps to keep the hair healthy and away from dehydration. The line is recommended for curls ranging from 2A to 4C, offering solutions ranging from washing to everyday care. “The results of treatment with the component are seen right from the first application and can last for a long time, helping the health of the thread as a whole. Ideally, intense hydration with a mask with avocado oil or olive oil should be done two or three times a week, depending on how damaged the hair is, and despite the benefit, it is important to invest in products developed with the natural fat of the fruit instead of using it pure. In this way, the risk of rebound effect, oiliness and allergies are avoided, resulting in a balanced treatment with all that is best for the region”, concludes Cleiton.
