Brilio.net - Coarse hair is often a challenge for many people who are trying to achieve the appearance of smooth and well-groomed hair. Coarse hair usually has a more prominent cuticle. When these cuticles are uneven or damaged, hair can look frizzy and difficult to manage.
One common cause of rough hair is a lack of moisture. This condition can be caused by excessive sun exposure, use of harsh styling products, or washing your hair too often.
Inappropriate hair care products, such as shampoos with harsh chemicals, can also strip natural oils from hair, making it drier and rougher. Apart from that, genetic factors also play an important role, because some people naturally have coarser hair structures.
To overcome this, you can imitate the trick shared by a TikTok user with the account name @cels_73. In his upload, he uses a combination of shampoo mixed with drink powder to make rough hair soft. The drink powder in question is coffee powder.
"MUST TRY!! Hair hacks that make dry hair healthy & super soft," he wrote in the description of the uploaded video, which briliobeauty.net quoted from the TikTok account @cels_73, Wednesday (7/8).

Benefits of coffee grounds for softening rough hair.
Coffee grounds can soften coarse hair for several key reasons. Firstly, coffee grounds act as a natural exfoliant, helping to remove dead skin cells and residual care products that can stick to the scalp, thereby opening pores and increasing blood circulation. This helps create a healthier environment for hair growth, which can reduce roughness.
Second, the caffeine in coffee has anti-inflammatory properties that can relieve irritation of the scalp, improve its condition, and make hair grow better. In addition, coffee grounds are rich in antioxidants which protect hair from damage caused by free radicals and environmental factors, and provide natural softness and shine.
