Why is my hair dry?

Some people naturally have drier hair due to their hair type or genetics. It can also get worse depending on your lifestyle: poor sleep, too much stress or even a poor diet can influence the health of the hair.

We must not underestimate the power of what we ingest on our hair! Indeed, our diet and the amount of water we drink have consequences on our entire body, including our hair. Not drinking enough water can therefore be a factor in dry hair.

Frequent use of harsh hair products such as coloring, overly stripping shampoos, conditioners containing sulfates, or styling products containing alcohol can cause hair to dry out. The same goes for heated styling tools such as straighteners, curling irons or hair dryers at high temperatures: they can damage hair and leave it dry and brittle.

Prolonged exposure to sun, wind, dry air or

can also strip hair of its natural moisture and leave it dry.

To get dry hair again, you need to act on both hydration and nutrition: water and oil!

Get off to a good start

A first step would be to rid the hair of what is too damaged. What's lost, is lost: you can't have split ends and burnt ends again and again. Cutting the ends will allow you to get off to a good start, lighten the hair and restore shine. You don't have to cut a lot for it to be beneficial. A few millimeters are enough.

Limit heat on your hair

Too much heat on the hair will damage the cuticle and lead to moisture loss. The use of straighteners or hairdryers can continue, but try to limit the use of these heating appliances to a few times a week and not every day.

Would you like to have beautiful curls? For example, you can use a heatless curler, very easy to use, with which you sleep at night. Look at natural alternatives to the way you treat your hair, you'll see that there are lots of ingenious solutions!

Hydrate and eat well

Drink, drink, drink! The best way to hydrate yourself is by drinking water. We aim for 2 liters per day! Also, nourishing your hair well requires nourishing yourself well. Choose a healthy diet with ingredients that are as minimally processed as possible. This will have its benefits both on your hair, but also on your skin.

Use natural products
