Dry Hair: How to care for and treat Dry Hair

by Jennifer Summers

If you are to get the best possible results from your hair
care routine, you need to choose the correct hair shampoo
and conditioner for your hair type. We recognise hair that
is in good condition. It shines, it is easy to manage - it
just looks good. The appearance of the hair is the one
feature of the body over which we can have direct control.
You can change the length, shape, colour and style of your
hair according to the age you wish to appear, and the
economic and social status you want to claim. The style,
length and condition of hair all play a part in how we
perceive the people we meet.

Dry hair is hair that doesn't have enough moisture. This is
normally because the cuticle has become heavily weathered
and porous, so that the cortex cannot hold on to water. It
appears more in long hair than in short, purely because the
hair has been growing for longer and as a result has worn
more. It is more widespread in women than in men, since
women are more likely to sport their hair long. The drying
out may come to have an effect on more of the hair if it is
given constant chemical treatments, for the most part
perming, and especially perming connected with
bleaching/colouring. Your hair is dry if: * it looks
lacklustre * it feels dry or coarse * it snarls easily * it
is tricky to comb or brush * it has been treated chemically
(permed, bleached or colored) * it is liable to split ends *
it is dry and frizzed. If your hair meets any of these
conditions, you should opt for a hair shampoo and
conditioner that are specifically for dry hair.

Combat the damage of chemical treatments, colouring,
heat-styling and environmental pollution by
deep-conditioning your hair on a regular basis. This will
help replenish lost moisture and keep locks shiny and
resilient. Clean your hair frequently, using good-quality
products. Product: Moisturizing Shampoos and Conditioners -
Good for very dry hair. Restores moisture lost in
blow-drying.

Most importantly - do not forget to condition it well.
Products to use: Leave-in Conditioners and Re-constructive
Detanglers - A leave-in conditioner is ideal for building
shine and body to straight hair and for taming. Cut the ends
regularly by a skilled hairdresser, to stop split ends. Dry
hair feels dry and it lacks shine and can be difficult to
style. Dry hair responds to intensive conditioning.

In a normal, undamaged hair shaft, very little water can get
either into or out of the cortex. This is because the
cuticle covering the cortex is intact. But if hair is
processed too many times the cuticle scales may never return
to their original tightness and the protection they once
offered is lost. Over-porous hair is dry, and tends to
develop split ends. The damaged cuticle is fragile, and the
damage worsens as time goes by. Dry hair feels dry. It does
not shine and is difficult to style. It responds to
intensive conditioning, however. Careful brushing, drying
and combing after washing are important.

Look for a bottle that says: Moisturizing or Replenishing.
It is prepared to be kind to dry, damaged hair. These hair
shampoos are heavier on the moisturizing constituents,
sometimes leaving a very thin film of conditioners on the
hair to help keep it silky and smooth. They work best on
dry, frizzy, damaged hair. - 15668
