Prevention of dry hair

Everyone wants beautiful hair. For many women, long and healthy hair is a symbol of beauty.

Dry hair can spoil that image. But just what causes dry hair? And what can you do to prevent it?

Here is a look at some common hair problems and what you can do to keep it from happening to you.

Greasy Roots

If you have dry hair at the ends but your roots are greasy you may need to lay off on the beauty treatments. Chemical treatments and regular heat styling are often to blame for this condition. However, it can also be caused by hormones, which tell the body to produce more sebum than is necessary.

The first step to preventing this problem is to find a shampoo that will neutralize your hair's pH to a normal level. Then, use a deep conditioning treatment on your ends once a week. Avoid the root area, and use caution not to over-stimulate your scalp. Doing so will activate the sebaceous glands and cause them to produce more oil.

Frizz

Another dry hair problem is frizz. If you look closely at a strand of frizzy hair, you will see that the cuticle has lifted away from the shaft. This can occur naturally or through the use of repeated hair styling. When it happens, the strand has difficulty maintaining its natural moisture and oils. Over time, this causes dry hair that is dully and frizzy-looking.

To keep dry hair from happening, use products that will increase the moisture level as often as possible. Products that contain essential oils are the best. Use some deep conditioner at your roots and try a light leave-in conditioner over the rest of your hair.

Split Ends And Breakage

Another sign of dry hair is split ends and breakage. These come from a variety of sources, including repeated heat and chemical processes, perming, dyeing, straightening, and blow drying hair. These all cause hair to lose its natural moisture and oils. As hair becomes dry it also becomes brittle, causing it to break.

Repeated abuse of the hair over time will cause irreparable dry hair and damage. To prevent this from happening, stick to a healthy diet that gives your dry hair all of the nutrients that it needs to stay healthy. Get regular trims to remove dry ends before they cause problems further up the strand.

Look for shampoos and conditioners that have essential oils in them to use on your hair. If possible, avoid styling and chemical treatments that can cause damage to your hair.

Natural Recipe

If you are looking for a natural treatment for dry hair, all you have to do is take a quick trip into your kitchen. Combine a half cup of honey with a quarter cup of warm olive oil and add in 4 drops of essential oil of rosemary.

Pour these into a spray bottle. Dampen your hair and spray the mixture. Gently massage the scalp, cover with a warm towel, and allow to set for a half hour. Shampoo and condition as normal and you will soon see a dramatic improvement in your hair.
