Let’s talk about our Hair

What is a Dry and Damaged Hair?

Characteristics:

Dry hair occurs when your scalp produces a less than average amount of oils to naturally moisturize the shaft. Either you have few glands of oil, or the glands produce a low amount of oil. Dry hair tends to occur in the darker shades, and it holds a style for along time. Dry hair does not respond well to perms or coloring and will become brittle due to water loss unless great care it taken. As a symptom of poor health, dry hair and perhaps dry scalp could result from hormonal imbalance as well as form emotional problems or poor diet.

Over-exposing your hair to the sun is one of the most common causes of dry hair.

How to Take Care?:

  1. Be sure to brush regularly and to massage your scalp to promote circulation. These actions will maintain your hair’s health.
  2. Avoid unnecessary sun exposure. Over-exposing is one of the most common causes of dry hair.
  3. Washing your hair everyday is another common causes of dryness because you’re washing away oils needed for strong, healthy hair. At the most, you should be washing your hair every other day, and conditioning the ends too.
  4. Other causes of dry hair that you should avoid, include chemical treatment like perms and chemical straitening, weak elasticity, and over-using blow dryers, curling irons, and flat irons.
  5. Using hot water can dry out your hair, so remember to use cool to lukewarm water when rising out of shampoo and conditioner.

Shampoo and Conditioner:

  • Use a shampoo with a rich emollient that will clean and soften your hair. Look for products that have protein and balsam.
  • If you have dandruff, use a shampoo with coal tar.
  • Use a conditioner that contains ingredients like ammonium salts to make your hair soft and manageable.
  • If the ends are extra dry, look for a conditioner with protein or balsam.
