Where dryness comes from
The reason for dry hair is the only one: it is the insufficient supply of each hair with sebum produced by the glands. But the factors causing such a state may be many. Among them may be, for example:
- previous diseases, as well as chronic (as a result of weakening of the body), transferred stresses,
- unbalanced, poor in vitamins food and bad habits,
- dry hair from nature
- the winter season (the work of heaters that dry the air), long wearing hats,
- summer period (drying of hair in the sun, salty sea water, hard water),
- care, inappropriate hair type, frequent dyeing and curling, the use of hot appliances for styling.
Careful care
If you are the owner of overdried curls, then you need to consider several rules for the care of such hair. Firstly, carefully select a hair wash, it should not be aggressive. Now there are many sulfate-free shampoos for sale, you should pay attention to them.
It is recommended to wash dry hair once a week. The use of balm for such hair is necessary. After washing, try not to rub the hair with a towel, but only slightly wet them.
It is also recommended to comb your hair after washing, not immediately, but ten minutes later. Drying them is best at room temperature, but if fast drying is required, then a hair dryer with a cool stream of air is needed, which should be kept 20-30 cm from the hair. Use heat-protective fluids for hair before drying, because there is a huge selection of such products.
Do not dye dry hair with ammonia paints, especially in light (blond) colors. To change the image, it is better to turn to specialists who can make careful coloring.
Dry ends of hair look very unaesthetic, so try to get rid of them regularly at the hairdresser. The master can make so that the main length of the hair is not affected.
