The Kardoune, the ideal tool for natural hair straightening!
To have straight hair without damaging it, there are two solutions: be born with straight hair (clever), or adopt a natural straightening technique such as Kardoune, a miracle solution!
Whether you have frizzy, curly, curly or slightly wavy hair, we have all asked ourselves this existential question at least once: how to straighten your hair without damaging it? It must be said that the consequences of heating appliances on the hair fiber are, to say the least, harmful . In the long run, the hair dries out and becomes brittle.
The answer to this problem is Kardoune, a centuries-old straightening technique passed down from mother to daughter in North Africa.
What is the Kardoune?
The Kardoune is actually a traditional Algerian ribbon, in red, orange and yellow (for the original version), made with a strong and slightly rough fabric. It is wrapped around the hair, worn all night and removed in the early morning.
Its interest? It protects the hair from friction against the pillow , softens the hair fiber, makes the hair shinier, accelerates growth by protecting the lengths from breakage, prevents the formation of knots, but above all: it smoothes the hair effectively, without the slightest heat input!
A natural method that is resolutely ecological and economical, which doesn't spoil anything!
How to choose your Kardoune?
The only criterion to take into account is the length of the hair:
. 2 meters for shoulder length hair.
. 2.5 meters when the hair falls to the chest.
. 3 meters when the hair falls to the middle of the back.
. 4 meters when the hair reaches the hips .
. 5 meters when the hair reaches the coccyx level.
How does hair straightening work at Kardoune?
First, we start by detangling and styling the hair. We rely on a brush or a wide-toothed comb to avoid weakening the hair fiber.
Then it's time for hydration. For example, a few drops of argan oil or castor oil, rich in fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants, can give shine, softness and strength to the hair. In general, we also think about regularly using hair masks to nourish and hydrate the hair in depth.
Finally, it's time to apply your straightening ribbon. You can apply it to dry or slightly damp hair. Make a low ponytail, tie the Kardoune at the elastic, leaving a small piece of ribbon on the outside to tie the Kardoune at the end. Remove the elastic, then wrap the ribbon around the ponytail, making sure it is flat and tight. Ideally, you should have enough fabric to be able to do the same thing in reverse. Finish by tying the two ends of the Kardoune.
Last step, go to bed and let the magic happen!
