Causes of Dry hair

There are many ways you can fix dry and damaged hair and it doesn't cost a lot. Don't walk around with dry, fragile, out of control, and even brittle hair.

Many people have hair that looks that way because of too much coloring, perming, blow drying and from using a flat iron. Many people lack the oil and moisture that gives hair it shine and soft texture. Too much heat on your hair can make it very fragile. Dry or damaged hair tends to be course or sometimes curly and out of control.Too much washing and blowing can cause your hair to become very dry. The place where you live can cause your hair to dry out, such as places where there is a lot of sun and wind and no moisture, and also people who do not eat properly can make there hair suffer as they are not getting the right amount of nutrients. It takes about three days after we eat something for the nutrients to get to our hair. People who who also use hard water can make there hair very brittle. Hard water can also make a persons hair resistant to coloring and perming and can also lead to hair loss.

Ways to fix dry and damaged hair

There are many ways dry, damaged, and split ended hair can be fixed. Follow some of these steps to help improve your hair.

1. Get on a healthy diet filled with all the necessary food groups. Healthy hair starts from the inside. Salmon is the best thing to eat, its loaded with high protein and filled with vitamin B-12 and iron. Dark green Vegetables are a good source of vitamins A and C and also contain iron and calcium. Beans are also an important part of your hair-care diet, they contain a lot of protein that promotes hair growth. Avoid fatty and starchy foods.

2.Cut of every inch of hair that is damaged. If you want healthy hair you must cut off the damaged.Trim every 6 weeks. Try to use coated or covered rubber bands to prevent split ends. Brush your hair when it is dry, not when its wet. Its best to use a wide toothed comb.

3. Shampoo often. I shampoo once a day, If i don't my hair looks so greasy

4. Always keep a blow dryer at least 6 inches away from your head as the heat badly damages your hair. If possible allow hair to air dry once in awhile.




5. The best way to keep your hair healthy is by choosing the best conditioner. The primary goal of a conditioner is to treat the hair after being shampooed to keep it nourished and tamed. All types of hair need to be conditioned to stay shinny and flexible. The most effective hair conditioners keep ones hair moisturized and add gloss. Conditioners remind me of what fabric softeners are to clothing. The conditioner helps replace the natural oils removed by the shampoo

Gardnier has became my favorite of all time for my hair. It makes it feel so soft and manageable and for the price it is the best you can buy.

The only hair I can talk about is my own and I have African American hair. It is not necessary to trim the hair to make it grow. That's misconception. Even if the ends split, there's no way the split end would go all the way up the shaft. It would break off before then.

Trimming only makes the hair neat. Think about this....if your hair grows at a rate of one to two inches per month and you cut off an inch per 6 weeks, it would never grow to a long length.

Of course African American hair may grow at a slower pace and that's a generalization. I have discovered that after I let the chemical relaxer grow out of my hair, I:

#1 had less damage

#2 didn't need to trim it often

#3 it got thicker and is growing and I only trim 2-3 times per year of if I want it very blunt.

A really good natural shampoo/conditioner without sodium laurel sulfate in it is WEN by Chaz Dean. It moisturizes and makes the hair soft and manageable.

I m sorry I know your hair is different. Maybe I should put this for caucasian hair. Every ones hair is different and what might work for one person, may not work for another. I didn't say trimming your hair makes it grow, hair grows with or without a trim, but trimming the dead ends keeps hair looking healthy. And I'm not saying cut an inch, just to clairify for you.

Also hair has a maximum length that it can reach, which is influenced by genetics as well as health. The hair follicle decides how long it can grow, once its to a certain level it dies and a new one grows. This explains why hair on your head grows faster than hair on your arms.
