Causes of Coarse Hair and 3 Ways to Reduce It

When glossy, shiny hair appears in advertisements or media,

I think many of us have probably found ourselves

pausing to look at it at least once.

When hair is well cared for, it can act as an external

attraction and also provide a high level of aesthetic

satisfaction, which is why especially for women,

you can often see them consistently doing home care or

getting salon treatments.

In particular, when hair is curly rather than straight,

it can be difficult to maintain a neat style, which can

cause mental stress.

Although it may seem similar to curls, coarse hair is

sometimes found, and today I’d like to talk about the

causes of this condition as well as 3 ways to reduce it,

so if you’re interested, I hope you’ll read on.

Coarse hair refers to hair that, unlike straight hair,

has a twisted, tightly curled shape like severe curls,

and it can also be caused by problems with the scalp as

well as the hair itself.

The first reason this phenomenon can occur is when

natural hair is forcibly pulled out.

When hair is forcibly pulled out, you can observe the

root being pulled out together with the hair end.

It does grow back again, but if you repeat this action,

the follicle can be damaged and coarse hair can grow,

so it is better to avoid doing it.

If you have a habit of pulling it out, it may be better

to simply use small scissors to cut only the parts you

don’t like.

Second, frequent dyeing and perms can also be the cause.

If your hair is curly, many people straighten it with a

straight perm, and some also get root perms to add

volume.

However, heat is generated on the scalp and moisture in

the hair evaporates, so it can have negative effects and

lead to curly or coarse hair, so please be careful.

Also, when you use a flat iron or similar tools at home

to style your hair, high heat is involved, which can

cause natural hair to become twisted, so please keep

this in mind.

And sometimes it is formed by inherited genetics.

It can be determined by genes, and if family members are

found to have similar hair, it is likely to be something

you were born with, so it may help to understand it that

way.

To ease this condition, first of all, it is important to

provide enough nourishment to the scalp and hair.

Because it can also affect the development of the

condition, sufficient nutrient supply is recommended.

After shampooing, apply a hair treatment carefully and

apply essence to damp areas; exfoliating on a regular

schedule with a gentle scrub is also advisable.

It is also good to eat meals that include protein for

good nutrition, so if your usual intake is low, it can

help to make a habit of consciously eating foods such as

beans, fish, eggs, and tofu.

Next, reduce procedures such as heat styling with a flat

iron, dyeing, and perms.

As mentioned above as a cause, if these excessive

procedures continue, they can have a negative effect, so

it is better to reduce the number of times you do them

and also lower your use of flat irons and blow dryers.

If you apply high heat, the hair and scalp can dry out

easily, so I recommend drying lightly with cool natural

air whenever possible.

A more specific method is to wrap your entire head in a

towel after shampooing, dry from the ends so moisture

doesn’t escape, then at the final stage cover it with a

towel to remove moisture cleanly, dry it overall using

gentle heat to distribute it evenly, and finish with cool

air; you may find that your hair becomes softer and the

curliness is reduced, so please keep this in mind.

When stress builds up, hair can become dry, and depending

on the case, severe stress can even lead to hair loss and

make your appearance look worse, so it is wise to find a

way to manage it in your daily life and continue

doing so consistently.

In addition, washing too often removes sebum, the natural

oil, which can make the hair even drier and cause curliness,

and it is better to use a moisturizing shampoo or rinse to

provide enough hydration and elasticity, so it would be

good to choose products with that in mind.
