If you have got a dry hair and you need tips to take care of your dry hair, then you need to keep reading. Below are 7 tips for taking proper care of your dry hair.
1. USE HAIR OIL
Your scalp might not be producing enough natural oils which could be the cause of your dry hair. Ensure you regularly use hair oil.
2. AVOID WASHING YOUR HAIR DAILY
Washing your hair daily leaves your hair dry as it removes the natural oils from your hair. Try washing your hair every 3 days instead and ensure the water you use isn’t too hot.
3. STAY HYDRATED
What you eat and drink can have a big impact on your hair so its important you drink plenty of water, eat plenty fresh fruits and vegetables as well as foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids eg salmon.
4. HOT OIL TREATMENT
The hot oil hair treatment helps provide nourishment and moisture for your dry hair. All you have to do is massage warm oil (coconut oil, sweet almond oil, olive oil) into the full length of your hair and into your scalp. Leave the oil in your hair for about 30 minutes while your hair is wrapped in a towel. Wash off with warm water and shampoo. Doing this twice a month would keep your dry hair hydrated and healthy.
5. AVOID USING HEATED TOOLS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
Avoid using heated tools like blow-dryers and hair straighteners as much as possible as they leave your hair dry. Also ensure you set the temperature as low as possible when you need to use heated tools.
6. ENSURE YOU USE THE RIGHT HAIR PRODUCTS
Ensure you use a quality shampoo that is specifically made for dry hair. Also ensure every hair product you use is of high quality.
7. THE BANANA AND AVOCADO TREATMENT
This treatment is good for dry hair because avocado contains nourishing oils that will condition your hair while bananas contain nutrients that will improve the elasticity of your hair and help prevent split ends.
Blend one avocado and banana together and mix it with a tablespoon of olive oil. Massage the mixture into your hair and scalp. Rinse out with warm water after 45 minutes.
