Causes of Dry Hair

  • Dry hair occurs when you scalp doesn’t produce enough sebum, a natural oil that helps hydrate hair. Sebum production slows as we age, which is why dry hair is more common among older people.
  • Additionally, certain hair types, such as thick or curly hair, make it harder for the sebum to moisturize the ends.
  • Too much heat can dry out the cuticle and strip hair of its natural moisture.
  • Using hair care products not formulated for your hair type can affect hair hydration.
  • Over-washing and styling, as well as the harsh chemicals found in some hair dyes, can remove natural oils.
  • Overexposure to the elements, and swimming in salty or chlorinated water can also lower hair moisture levels.

Moisturizing Hair 101

  • Choose Hydrating Products: Look for moisture-restoring shampoos and conditioners containing ingredients like shea butter, beeswax, aloe vera, and hyaluronic acid. Select gentle, moisture-restoring formulas.
  • Wash Less, Condition More: Minimize shampooing to retain natural oils and always follow with a deeply nourishing conditioner, potentially one enriched with plant extracts like coconut oil.
  • Deep Condition Regularly: Incorporate hydrating hair masks and leave-in products into your routine for added moisture.
  • Protect from Heat: Always apply a heat protectant spray before using any heat styling tools.
  • Targeted Treatments: Explore specialized moisturizing hair treatments like serums and oils designed for specific concerns such as curls, dry scalp, or deep repair.
