Dry Hair Causes and Treatments
Dry hair is a symptom of damaged hair. If the underlying causes of dry hair goes untreated, hair strands become brittle, break easily, and locks will constantly appear dull and frizzy. The following are the most common causes of dry hair and solutions to the problem.
Wrong Haircare Products
All products aren’t appropriate for every type and texture of hair. It’s important that individuals use products that are formulated to nourish their particular hair type. Everyone should avoid products with alcohol, sulfates and silicone that dry, coat, or strip away natural oils. Choose products that contain argan, avocado or coconut oil.
Excessive Washing
Hair needs regular cleansing, but over-washing strips oils and leads to dryness. Hair that’s curly is more susceptible to dryness and washing once or twice a week can be sufficient. Use a deep conditioner that’s gentle and never rub hair with a towel to dry it – lightly pat it dry.
Hot Styling Tools
Using styling tools on the highest heat settings has become common practice and it’s extremely damaging to hair. Use lower heat settings whenever possible and try not to use styling tools every day to give hair a break. If hot styling is imperative, use a heat protectant before using styling tools. There are also anti-frizz creams that can provide protection and assist in reducing frizz.
Dyes and Bleaches
Hair dyes and bleaches can create fantastic-looking styles, but frequent use also removes the natural oils from hair. The secret to long-lasting color is choosing shampoos and conditioners that contain almond, argan, avocado, coconut, jojoba, or olive oil to provide the nourishment and emollients hair needs.
Sun, Salt and Chlorine
UV rays from the sun, salt from the ocean, and chlorinated pool water wreak havoc on hair. Wear a hat when going out in the sun, a swim cap in chlorinated pools, and immediately rinse hair after swimming in the ocean – a swim cap is beneficial in the ocean, too. Individuals should seek the guidance of their stylist about the best haircare products with sunscreen. UV rays are a danger even on cloudy days.
