1- Be careful with your shampoo
Shampooing the hair too often is one of the most common causes of dry hair. Shampoos contain harsh chemicals that remove the natural oils that keep your hair moisturized. For dry hair, the pH level of the shampoo should be between 4,5 and 6,7.
2- Be gentle to your hair
Dry hair is the most fragile hair type. For this reason, you should be careful with your hair. Be gentle while lathering. Do not pull your hair suddenly and forcefully, in any case. Do not rub it with your nails. If you do this, you will irritate your scalp. Lather your hair by rubbing the scalp with your fingertips. Rubbing your scalp with your fingertips also stimulates the sebaceous glands.
3- Use hair conditioner
Dry hair needs moisture. Try to use alcohol-free conditioners, since the alcohol causes even more dryness.
4- Use hot oil
Hair care professionals recommend hot oil treatment to repair dry and damaged hair.
5- Brush less
Excessive brushing can cause splitting and shedding. Dry and fragile hair are even more vulnerable against excessive brushing. Always brush your hair gently and never brush when your hair is wet. If your hair is wet, use a comb instead of a hair brush. The type of your hair brush is also important. A bristle brush is a good choice.
6- Stay away from heat
People with dry hair always wonder if they can use curling iron or blow-dryer. Curling iron is the worst thing for a dry hair. If you have to use artificial drying method, use a blow-dryer at the lowest level of heat.
7- Adjust the time for your hair care
If you had your hair permed on a Tuesday, have it dyed on the Thursday and use the curling iron on the Saturday.
8- Try using vinegar
There are several ways of reviving your dry hair by using vinegar. Vinegar is a good moisturizer; it cleanses the hair and increases the gloss. Just add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the water that you will use to rinse your hair. You can also use vinegar to get rid of the dandruffs. Before shampooing your hair, massage it with vinegar several times a week.
9- Use eggs for gloss
To clean your hair and provide glossiness to it, crack an egg in warm water; apply it to your hair and lather. Thoroughly rinse with warm water. Use this remedy to restore your hair’s luster: Mix 3 eggs, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of vinegar. Apply this to your long hair, cover it with a plastic bonnet and wait for 30 minutes. Then, shampoo your hair as usual.
