Dry Hair Care
Dry hair is hair that does not contain enough moisture. This is usually because the cuticle has become heavily weathered and porous, so that the cortex cannot retain water. It shows up more in long hair than in short, simply because the hair has been growing for longer and therefore has weathered more. It is more common in women than in men, because women are more likely to wear their hair long. The dryness may come to affect more of the hair if it is given repeated chemical treatments, particularly perming, and especially perming associated with bleaching/colouring.Your hair is dry if: * it looks dull * it feels dry or rough * it tangles easily * it is difficult to comb or brush * it has been treated chemically (permed, bleached or colored) * it is liable to split ends * it is dry and frizzy. If your hair matches any of these criteria, you should choose a shampoo and conditioner that are designed for dry hair.
Combat the damage of chemical treatments, colouring, heat-styling and environmental pollution by deep-conditioning your hair on a regular basis. This will help replenish lost moisture and keep locks shiny and resilient. Clean your hair frequently, using good-quality products. Product: Moisturizing Shampoos and Conditioners – Good for very dry hair. Restores moisture lost in blow-drying.
And essentially – do not forget to condition it well. Leave-in Conditioners and Re-constructive detanglers are the correct products to use. A light leave-in conditioner is great for creating shine and body to straight hair and for taming. Have the ends cut regularly by a skilled stylist, so as to prevent weathering effects such as split ends.
