Dry, damaged hair which needs extra moisture is a common problem
whether it's caused by nature, abuse from the weather, overuse of
heated styling appliances, styling aids of chemicals. If you have
dry hair, look first at your diet- is it well balanced? Hair is
nourished by the blood supply and if this doesn't contain all the
nutrients necessary for good hair growth, your hair will never
look good, no matter how many products you use.
Vitamin B is essential and if you don't get it naturally in
wheatgram, green vegetables it might be worth taking a vitamin
supplement. The body requires this vitamin daily, as it cannot
store it.
Go carefully with electrical styling aids and special blow-dry
lotion with your hairdryer that protects hair from heat.
Brushes and combs should not be spikey at the points.
Use only covered elastic bands for tying your hair.
Always use warm, not hot, water when washing your hair and rinse
thoroughly
Conditioners protect your hair by adding a light protective film
to the hair's cuticle layer to prevent it losing its own natural
moisture. But conditioner should be gently massaged into the hair,
never combed, as combing can stretch the hair and cause spilt
ends. Avoid using conditioner on the scalp.
If a careful shampoo and conditioning regime still leaves your
hair in need of a pick-me-up, a
Special conditioning treatment should do the trick. The most
intensive treatment for dry is hot oil:
“Oil works that little bit more deeply. A cream will work on the
surface to fill in the porous areas, help close cuticles and give
a smooth finish, but oils work into the hair shaft”.
Follow these tips and add gloss to dull hair !
