Remedies for Dry Hair and Scalp
▪︎ Get a trim
If your hair is too dry, it might need a reset in the form of a fresh cut. Even if your hair isn’t very long, split ends can make hair hard to style and contribute to it feeling dry or coars.
▪︎ Take vitamins
You know that you need vitamins to nourish your body, but certain vitamins directly impact the health of your hair and nails, too. Vitamin A, vitamin C, biotin (sometimes called vitamin H), and the mineral iron will all contribute to hair that looks healthier.
Because prenatal vitamins contain all of the above vitamins, some people take them just for the way they affect their hair. It’s also popular at the moment to take supplements that contain only biotin to make your hair look better.
▪︎ Avoid washing your hair every day
Shampoo removes dirt and sweat from your hair, but it also striosbyour hair of sebum. Sebum is the natural oil that makes your hair easier to maintain and, when you have the right amount, it's shiny. Too much sebum leads to a greasy appearance.
▪︎ Wrap your hair instead of air drying
If your hair is brittle and difficult to style after you wash it, it could be losing too much moisture during the drying process. Try wrapping your hair with a cloth or towel after you wash it instead of letting it air dry.
If you sleep with your hair wet, use a silk pillowcase to keep your hair’s moisture from getting absorbed into your pillows. If you leave your hair wet for long periods of time, the damage is comparable to blow drying.
▪︎Cut down on heat styling
Heat styling to curl, straighten, or add volume to your hair might have been a part of your daily routine for years. It may also be the reason that your hair is drying out.
▪︎ Do Cold Rinses
Do not use hot water to shampoo hair, lukewarm to warm only...hot water drys out your skin and hair.
▪︎ Use essential oils
Moroccan argan oil has become a popular home remedy for dry hair. Using a few drops of argan oil on the ends of your hair will give it a more finished and supple appearance.
