If your hair feels rough and has a dull wearisome finish, chances are you are suffering from dry hair. Not a big deal, right? After all, who wants greasy hair anyway?
That is not necessarily the truth. While extremely oily hair is great, dry hair isn’t great either because dry hair that isn’t taken care of can lead to dandruff and hair loss – two things you definitely don’t want. In this post, we’ll break down the causes of dry hair and explain how to treat it before it’s too late.
What causes dry hair?
- The most common reason is genetics.
You most likely did not ask for it, it was just passed down to you through genetics. However it’s not the end of the world, because it’s treatable. - Another reason is aging.
As we age, our hair also ages and becomes more “brittle”. - Environmental factors
Environmental factors can also affect dry hair.
Too much sun or wind or swimming often in a pool with chlorine, can make our hair especially dry. - Excessive use of hair dryer
As the name suggests, it is a hair dryer. There’s nothing wrong with using a hair dryer every now and then, but make sure you don’t overdo it.
So how do you treat dry hair?
Protect your hair from the sun and wind.
Try not to expose yourself too much to the weather, on days when the climate is extreme here or there, and if you really have no choice – you should wear a hat.
If you immerse your head in salt water or with chlorine – we recommend that you wear a bathing cap. If you think it’s embarrassing, then think again. Do you prefer a bald head or a bathing cap?
Reduce the use of hair dryer.
If you blow-dry your hair every day, don’t be surprised that you have dry hair!
Try to reduce the use and if you really like a matte and dry look and it’s hard for you to give up the hair dryer, we recommend you use our paste wax that adds volume to the hair. It can be applied even when the hair is damp (about 80% dry) without the need for a hair dryer. Moreover, the result it gives is simply wonderful.
Make sure you nourish your hair with vitamins.
Vitamins like B, E and jojoba oil can contribute a lot to your hair and keep it shiny and fresh. In our 3 in 1 shampoo, you can find all the active ingredients we mentioned and enjoy a healthy and natural look that will preserve the beauty of your hair.
Make sure you are not using a shampoo/conditioner that is full of chemicals.
Read the back of the bottle. You will start to be interested in what you are using on your hair – because no one else will do it for you.
