Dry hair is prone to split ends and can get too frizzy. The worst part of it is that it does not only look lifeless but also looks embarrassingly ugly when it is tangled. Fortunately, there are easy and budget-friendly ways to care for your dry hair.
Heat is the number one enemy of your hair. It causes the moisture in the strands to evaporate. Thus, one of the most important parts of caring for your dry hair is being aware of not subjecting your hair to too much heat. This is to lock in the moisture as much as possible.
Avoid blow drying and ironing your hair if possible. Instead, just use a towel to dry your wet hair. In cases where you need blow dry, set the blow dryer to only the minimum heat setting.
The evaporation of moisture in the hair is triggered by heat. It thus requires us to subject the hair to least heat possible to prevent evaporation.
When buying your hair care products, look for particular products for your dry hair. Be on the lookout for bottles with labels saying “for dry hair.” For-dry-hair shampoos contain the necessary vitamins for your specific needs. These shampoos are gentler than your average shampoos as well. Because these are gentle, they usually don’t strip the hair’s oils making them effective in keeping the moisture in the hair strands.
If you have dry strands, you need a conditioner. Condition it every day. Look for hair conditioners specifically made for this hair type. They are usually thicker than most conditioners. These after-shampoo treatments will weigh it down while smoothing out the hair’s outer layer.
