10 Dry Hair Remedies To Repair Your Hair Immediately

Did you know that the food you eat, the ultraviolet rays of the Sun, cheap shampoos, and conditioners, blow drying, and flat ironing can affect the health of your hair?

Yes, it’s true, even spending a lot of time on the beach can cause your hair to become dry. This is because hair loses moisture when exposed to a lot of sun and wind.

Spending time in dusty areas can also block the pores in your scalp and blow-drying your hair right after washing it can cause split ends.

So you see, there are so many reasons why you may be experiencing dry hair. Try letting your hair dry on its own and apply an all-natural serum to your hair before blow-drying it.

You can also wear a cap or use an umbrella when going to the beach or windy areas.

So What Is Dry Hair?

Once your hair loses its glow or sheen and becomes rough and dry to the touch, it is defined as dry hair. Also, having a dry scalp, and split ends can also be a sign of dry hair.

Nutrition, excessive washing, and using harsh over-the-counter hair products can all contribute to the undernourishment of the hair.

Washing your hair a lot causes loss of the natural portion of oil released from the sebaceous glands secreted into follicles.

It is in these follicles that the root of the hair gets nourishment and grows. All that aside, there are some medical conditions that can cause dry hair such as thyroid disease and the following:

  • Malnutrition
  • High porosity
  • Usage of cotton pillow
  • Pollution
  • Underactive thyroid
  • Anorexia Nervosa
  • Heredity problem
  • Excessive hairstyling
  • Wetting in chlorinated water
  • Dehydration
