subject: Dry Hair Care Tips [print this page] Silky, shiny and healthy hair is one of the dreams of every girl. But, in this fast moving life, only a few of us spend a few minutes every day to care for their hair. Thin, dry and brittle hair is the result of malnutrition. Dry hair is thin and rough and is more prone to breakage, damage, tangles and split ends.
Following are some tips for caring dry hair.
For your hair, the brush you utilize should have soft bristles. For those with dry hair, a baby brush is a good option. Baby brushes are capable for spreading the natural oil from the scalp to the hair follicles, giving them the essential nourishment. This makes the dry hair look silkier.
Be cautious while combing your wet hair, as wet hair has a tendency to break off easily. For that reason, keep away from combing your hair with thin-toothed combs, as these will tear your hair. To detangle wet hair, use a wide-toothed comb. It will put off the hair from getting pulled too hard.
Stay away from any kind of pulling at the time of lathering. Avoid scrubbing your hair with your fingernails, because it will aggravate the scalp, in that way damaging your hair.
Always, apply a shampoo particularly made to suit dry hair conditions. In order to repair and supplement dry hair, make sure that your shampoo contains extra protein and humectants. Every time you use a shampoo, condition your hair properly.
Hair styling devices such as hair dryers and curling irons fry the hair, in particular when set to high temperature. So avoid these products. If you cant avoid these products, use them with a cool setting.
Try to reduce the use of hair gels, mousse, hairsprays and other chemical styling creams. These products take away the natural oils from the scalp, making dry hair all the more drier.
To manage your dry hair, remember to get a short hair cut. Opt for a shorter hair style, so that the new, healthier hair can restore your fringy, dry hair.
