Worried about dry hair? Check this out...

To catch up with the modern fashion trend we do lots of experiments with our hairs starting from curling iron to so many chemical product. Most people wash their hair far too often, not realizing that lathering up daily strips hair of its essential oils. However a few small changes in your daily routine can help revive your dry, fragile tresses and maintain a healthy head for years to come.

Your hair is dry if it: 

• looks dull
• feels dry or rough
• tangles easily
• is difficult to comb or brush
• has been treated chemically (permed, bleached or colored)
• is liable to split ends
• it is dry and frizzy.

Here are a few easy tips that you can follow to revive your dry hair

1. Proper conditioning of your hair on a regular basis is very much required. You can also get deep conditioning salon treatment, you can ask your stylist which one is best for you. This will help replenish lost moisture and keep locks shiny and resilient.
2. Limit your hair washings to a couple times a week, or every other day at the most. If you must shower daily, simply rinse your hair and work in a small amount of conditioner.
3. Look for shampoos and conditioners that contain humectants, which attract moisture to your hair and help to keep it there. Often these products contain proteins too, which strengthen your hair. If you're hair is getting weighed down and unflattering, you may be using too much conditioner.

   
4. Chemical hair treatments like perming, relaxing and coloring are foes to humectants and consequently dry out your hair. If dry hair is a concern, you shouldn't color, perm or use relaxer until you've nurtured your hair back to health.
5. After you have finished washing your hair, towel dry it thoroughly but carefully. Remember, those fragile tresses need to be handled as gently as possible. Blot your hair instead of rubbing it. It may take a little bit longer, but the result is well worth the extra effort.
6. Chlorine is often added to municipal water supplies as a purifying agent, but it can wreak havoc on hair that is already dry. Get a a shower head with a built-in water filter. These special shower heads, easily found in most hardware stores, will filter out the chlorine, and best of all you can install it yourself.
7. Get a proper hair cut regularly by a skilled stylist, so as to prevent weathering effects such as split ends.
8. If you're out in the dry heat, think about wearing a hat.

   
9. Once a week, comb olive oil through your hair, put a shower cap on, let is soak in overnight and shower it out in the morning. Olive oil is a great natural conditioner and is easily absorbed by the hair shaft, restoring natural softness and elasticity to dry hair.
10. Before using styling irons, make sure that your hair is dry. Remember that it breaks easily when wet. Another reason for making sure that it is dry before using any thermal tools is because the water in it turns to moist when heated. This can cause burn to both your scalp and mane.
11. Thermal devices like the curling irons are big help in styling. However, they can burn it if not used properly. To avoid this, make sure that you have the right tool for the type you have. No matter how expensive they are.
12. A healthy diet of fresh foods, whole grains, protein, minerals and lots of water will go a long way towards great looking hair. And be sure to fit exercise and sufficient sleep into your schedule- a healthy lifestyle will lead to great hair from the inside out. When your hair starts looking better, treat it well.
13. Towel dry and/or air dry hair before heat styling.

Hope these small tips can make a difference to your hair. Even if you don't get any positive result you may contact any skilled hair expert for further treatment.
