Before treating dry hair, individuals must understand what caused the issue to develop in the first place. Below are several common reasons why hair becomes dry:
- Using the wrong products. The reason there are so many types of shampoos and conditioners available is because each one is designed for use on a specific type of hair. Using the wrong products often results in dry and brittle hair since they remove the hair’s natural moisture and oils. To avoid this, consumers must check the product label of any hair care product to ensure it will work well for them.
- Overuse of heat styling tools. Using a flat iron or dryer on a daily basis damages the hair and increases the chances it will become dry over time. If people need heat styling every day, they can still reduce the amount of damage that occurs by either using a heat protectant or keeping the temperature below 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Excessive hair washing. Although washing hair regularly is important, washing too often removes natural oils and leaves hair more prone to dryness. Hair that requires more consistent washing can be moisturized with the addition of a deep conditioner. Meanwhile, other types of hair, such as curly hair, should only be washed once or twice a week.
