Worried about your dry, lifeless hair? The good news is that it’s repairable however depending upon its cause. Dry hair usually occurs when protective layers and natural oil are stripped away from your hair. Both internal and external factors can tend your hair to become dry. If it’s attributed to internal factors such as malnutrition, intake of certain medication or diseases, then don’t delay to seek advice of a registered practitioner. Alternatively, hair dryness that transpires due to external factors including use of harsh products, exposure to UV rays and chlorinated water and over styling is relatively easy to cope with, as all you need to do is to make some changes in your hair care calendar.

First of all, carefully read the ingredients while making a choice of shampoo and conditioner. A moisture rich shampoo and conditioner, preferably with humectant, proteins and vitamin contents, will be best suitable for your dry hair. Likewise, excuse yourself from hair products containing ingredients such as alcohol, ammonia, sodium lauryl sulfates and parabens, as it will only worsen your hair’s dryness. Additionally, deep conditioning your hair every week can help you combat dryness to an extent.

When you’re about to venture out, use a hair spray or gel with UV filtering elements. It is further advisable to use a shower cap while swimming in chlorinated water. Above all, limit the use of styling appliances, and allow your hair to air dry than counting on a blow dryer.
