After all, what happened?

According to dermatologist Mayla Carbone, member of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology (SBD), what can be noticed is that the hair is showing signs of dryness due to the use of bleaching chemicals to achieve the blonde tone.

“When brushing the hair, it causes damage to the hair, which can result in breakage of the hair fiber, which is already weakened”, he explains.

Mayla also highlights that the routine during the competition and changes in participants' self-care habits and diet also impact hair health.

What to do to keep your hair healthy?

The first step, as the expert suggests, is the application of homemade moisturizers and moisturizing routines using vegetable oils to replenish essential nutrients to the hair.

For Yasmin, as this option is not possible, one of the alternatives is to brush her hair with a different comb and without using force.

At one point, during the first week of the competition, a video of Brunet combing his wet hair went viral on the internet. According to Mayla, the practice, however, is not recommended.

“When the hair is soaked, there is a change in its structure, making it easier to break during brushing. I therefore recommend, if possible, choosing to use a brush when the hair is at least single and not completely soaked,” he says.

Finally, the dermatologist advises a more delicate approach when toweling the hair, avoiding friction, to remove excess water before even starting to brush.

“It is very common to see participants using a hairdryer on their wet hair before parties. However, on a daily basis, it is better to avoid and remove excess water before using the dryer”, he guarantees.
