Ancient Algerian Hair Secret: The Kardoune Method for Heat-Free Straightening

In a world increasingly seeking natural beauty solutions, an ancient Algerian hair-straightening technique is gaining renewed attention. The 'kardoune', a traditional fabric ribbon, offers a heat-free alternative for achieving sleek, straight locks. As demonstrated by content creator Altea | Capelli mossi, the method involves wrapping a long, sturdy ribbon tightly around a ponytail, from root to tip. This practice, historically used for centuries to both straighten and protect hair, is particularly effective for wavy hair types. The term 'kardoune' itself is derived from an Arabic word meaning 'to straighten'. Enthusiasts of the method suggest applying a hair oil before wrapping and leaving the kardoune on overnight to wake up to remarkably silky hair. This resurgence highlights a growing interest in traditional, gentle hair care practices.
