Caring for Dry Hair

It is time to learn simple techniques for caring for dry hair if your hair always feel rough and dry to the touch. Do you have flakes that dandruff shampoo does not eliminate? Get your hair looking and feeling great in no time with these easy hints!

Less is more with dry hair

If you are addicted to blow-drying and straightening your hair each morning, realize that the heat strips essential oils from your scalp and hair that you can't afford to lose. Unplug your appliances and grab a good towel instead. Blot out as much of the water from your hair as possible and either let it air-dry or as a last resort, use the dryer on the lowest setting possible.

Protect your hair from the sun

The sun's heat bakes those essential oils directly out of your head. If you are going out in dry heat, use a good conditioner that has built-in SPF, or wear a hat that protects your scalp.

Skip the daily shampoo

Most hairstylists say to shampoo hair only three days a week or less, so skip the daily shampoo and conditioner routine. When you do shampoo, remember to only use a dime-sized dab of shampoo unless you have extremely long hair. This saves you both money and time!

Not all conditioners work on dry hair

Using gobs of conditioner does not automatically restore shine and luster to your dry hair. In fact, it probably just weighs it down and makes it look lifeless. Look for a humectant and protein-rich conditioner, which moisturizes your hair without making it limp and flat.

These simple steps make caring for your dry hair a breeze. Get luster and shine any time!
