How to Prevent Dry Hair

Dry hair can be a real pain, it is prone to frizz, breaking and it looks dull. But there are some simple things you can do to help prevent dry hair.

1.

Try to avoid washing your hair everyday, unless it absolutely needs it.

Hair is most fragile when it is wet and over washing can lead to dryness and severe breakage.

And if you absolutely must wash your hair everyday, use the mildest, most gentle shampoo possible.

2.

Always always use conditioner! Conditioner will help stop your hair from becoming dry and damaged!

3.

When your hair is wet, use a wide tooth comb instead of a brush, brushes will drag and break the hair.

Also, try to keep styling with a brush or comb to a minimum.

4.

Do not blow dry your hair when it is soaking wet, towel dry it until it is at least 70% dry and then reach for the blow dryer.

5.

Many people forget that the elements are bad for the hair as well as the skin, cover your hair with a hat wherever possible to protect it from the cold or heat.

6.Always use heat protection, think about how hot your straighteners, curlers or blowdryer get. Don't even think about using these without something to protect your hair.

    One of these days, our Internet connection will behave and I'll be able to read and leave relevant comments. Today doesn't seem to be that day. *sigh*
