If there are none, it is enough to simply rinse the strands under running water and, if desired, treat the curls with an express conditioner or a similar agent with a light consistency.

Natural rinses (based on decoctions, infusions and pharmacy herbal extracts) are most often used after washing or instead of it. As a rule, you do not need to wash them off: since there are no fatty components in their composition, they do not stain the curls.Some conditioners are applied only to the ends of the strands after any water treatment, whether it be a visit to the bathhouse or swimming in the sea.
