Dry is often rough and thin. They are prone to hair problems like hair loss, breakage, split ends, dandruff formation, frizz etc. Do you suffer from such problems? Then here are some tips that help you get rid off dry hair.
Using brushes made of soft bristles are recommended for people having dry hair. The soft bristles help in spreading the natural oil of the scalp to the follicles of hair. This keeps the hair well nourished and gives a silky appearance. Another factor to be considered while selecting brush is the tooth type. Always select wide toothed brushes. Thin toothed brushes tend to pull hair out and lead to breakage of hair.
Avoid pulling the hair while lathering. Also let alone scratching or scrubbing the hair or scalp as it will cause damage to scalp as well as hair. Always use a shampoo that is specially manufactured for dry hair. It consists of extra proteins and other nutrients that are needed for repairing damaged hair. This will keep your hair well nourished and soft.
Application of any type of heat devices on the hair can be harmful. Hot air blowers, curling irons etc can make your hair even drier. If using an air hair dryer, make sure to set the temperature to a cool setting. Hair styling products like styling gels, hair colours, hair sprays etc are also very harmful. They are composed of chemicals and they cause damage to both the scalp and hair. They deplete all the natural oil and moisture content. Without moisture and oil content the hair loses all its beauty and profile. Dry hair becomes drier due to the application of these types of products.
Those who suffer from dry hair should always prefer short hair styles. It is easier to style up and tangles are less prone to occur. It also helps in reducing hair loss significantly. Care should also be taken while choosing hair care products. Products for particular hair types are available so that you can choose the one that is best suited for your hair. Always try to stay away from chemicals.
Above all diet is one of the most important things. A diet rich in nutrients like Vitamins, Proteins, minerals, fatty acids etc helps in maintaining healthy hair. Also drink a lot of water.
