 If your hair is dry and you want to have great hair, you should choose the proper shampoo and conditioner for your hair type. Dry hair does not contain enough humidity. It happens because the cuticle has become heavily weathered and porous. That is why the cortex cannot hold water. It is often happens in long hair, because the hair has been growing for longer and therefore has weathered more. The dryness may come to affect more of the hair if it is given recurring chemical treatments, particularly perming, and especially perming associated with bleaching or colouring.
So, your hair is dry if:
- it looks dull and it feels dry or rough;
- it tangles easily;
- it is difficult to comb or brush;
- it has been treated chemically.
If your hair is dry, it can break when points in the hair thicken or weaken. Sometimes this happens near the scalp. The main cause of hair breakage is indecent use of chemical hair treatments. But brushing or combing hair too frequently or in the wrong way can lead to breakage. Hair extensions and braids can also cause breakage. Leaving them in too long or pulling them out without professional help can cause hair and scalp damage or even hair loss.
You should follow the rules for dry hair treatment if you want to have great hair.
- Choose a shampoo and conditioner that are intended for dry hair.
- Clean your hair frequently with good-quality products.
- Regularly cut the ends the ends by a skilled stylist. It helps you to prevent such problem as split ends. In undamaged hair shaft very little water can get either into or out of the cortex. This is because the cuticle covering the cortex is intact. If hair is processed too many times the cuticle scales may never return to their original tightness and the protection they once offered is lost. Over-porous hair is dry, and tends to develop split ends. The damaged cuticle is fragile, and the damage worsens as time goes by.
- Brush and dry your hair carefully.
