Best Dry Hair and Scalp Treatment Tips
Who doesn’t want soft hair? Everybody does, right? Not everyone is gifted with that. Not everyone has healthy hair. We all want hair that is shiny and healthy but everyone can only be categorized into having oily, dry or normal hair. Each of these types has its pros and cons but nothing can be sadder than having dry hair as it is brittle, rough and frizzy. The hair is lifeless and limp. And talk about falling hair!
One of the reasons why hair is dry is due to the fact that it lacks the moisture it needs. When hair is damaged, the cuticle becomes dry and porous, leading it to retain water less.
The drying of the hair can be caused my many factors. These can be due to chemical damage. When we subject our hair to extensive chemical processes like dyeing, perming or bleaching, it can lose its shine.
Another cause of dry hair is the applying too much heat on hair. When we iron our hair, we apply heat that is too much to handle by our hair.
Dry hair can be a sign of an underlying illness or deficiency, like hypothyroidism and Menke’s syndrome, the inability of the body to absorb copper.
When you have dry hair, one of the dire side effects would be hair loss. You can avoid this by infrequent washings of hair. You don’t need to wash your hair every day. Shampoos and conditioners have harsh chemical that will ultimately damage your hair. Choose shampoos with low pH and proteins that will strengthen the hair.
Use products that have humectants. Humectants attract moisture so this keeps the hair moist. Protect your hair from heat. Thi means do not iron or curl your hair that often. When you go out, be sure to put something on to cover your head with some protective gear like a scarf or wide-brimmed hat.

French Braid
French braids may look too girlish with you but with the right amount of style it would. One twist to this is having it sideways. Practice your skills first. Put your hair on the side and French braid your hair and secure it with something nice. Just don’t braid it too tight. A few strands here and there will update your look.
Ponytails
Ponytails never go out style but same as the French braid, you would want it updated. Make it a messy ponytail. Scrunch an anti-frizz cream or curl creams onto your hair an gather them together in a low ponytail. Leave about ¼ in strand of hair to cover the elastic you secured your ponytail with.
Head Bands
Channel Blair Waldorf with this hair style. Look polished by smoothing the hair and putting on a wide headband. Put an anti-frizz hair to tame your strands.
Messy Buns
As common as the ponytail, messy buns are just the right style when you have long hair. Just gather your hair and tie an elastic band and shape it into a bun but make sure that you leave some strands out to make it look messier.
