Why Is Your Hair Dry?
why is your hair dry
There are many things that can cause your hair to become dry. Extreme sun or heat will burn the scalp causing loss of oil production leading to dry hair. The same thing happens when you color you hair, the chemicals wash away the natural oils on your scalp leaving your hair dry and stiff. Heat tools can also cause your hair to dry out as well, but usually not as bad as chemical treatments. Perms, dye and bleach are 3 of the worst things you can do to your hair, the strip the sebum from the hair and scalp and cause your hair to become weak and brittle. Then again some people are born with dry hair. This happens when the proteins that lock in moisture to the hair follicle is absent, or low. So knowing why your hair is dry is half of the battle lets learn what you can do to fix it.

How To Fix Dry Hair

Dry hair is a common problem which means it is pretty easy to fix and maintain. Remember that dry hair breaks easily so do not braid it or stress it if at all possible. When washing your hair gently massage your hair don't scrub or scratch. Gently fix your hair, try to only do it when it dry, this will cut down on hair breakage. If you can let hair dry naturally at least twice a week to give it a break from blow drying. Don't wash your hair every day, this can dry hair out even more.

Use a shampoo that will lock in moisture, or find a hydrating shampoo that is sulfate free. This will help coat your hair in a protective layer, holding moisture in and keeping all other elements out. Use a leave in conditioner even on days you do not wash your hair, this will help treat dry hair. Stay away from alcohol based styling products, these will severely dry your hair out. Finally if your going to be in the sun for long periods of time cover your head to keep from getting your hair over-exposed to the sun.
