if the question ‘why is my hair so dry?’ is an unwelcome part of your daily routine, you’re not alone. there's no bigger buzzkill than hair that won’t cooperate, and dehydrated strands are no exception. however, understanding why it happens is half the fight.
this is where we come in – we’re here to break down the root causes and set you on the path to the moisturised, shining strands you deserve.
what is dry hair?
dry hair is typically a result of a lack of moisture. if left dehydrated for too long, your strands could be more susceptible to breakage and might take on a brittle texture. it may also leave them lacking their usual luster. there isn’t one hair type particularly prone to it, either – dry strands could strike any variety for a multitude of reasons.
why does my hair feel dry?
by getting to grips with some of the usual suspects, you’re already halfway to unlocking the moisture-rich mane of your dreams.
love a salon treatment?
we love a salon visit just as much as the next person, but let’s be real – some treatments involve ingredients and techniques that could leave your strands craving an extra hit of hydration. don’t get us wrong, we’re not here to rain on your balayage – the salon offers that much-needed indulgence we all crave from time to time. so, by all means keep your colour touch up in your calendar, just bear in mind that your strands may require a little extra tlc.
don’t forget protection
if you’re anything like us, your hot brush is your go-to tool (we’re looking at you, hair round blow dryer brush 2.0). but when using them, it's essential you shield your strands with a protectant serum or spray as this may help to keep your mane moisturised and looking lush.
not using gentle products
there’s no better feeling than freshly washed hair, right? however, regularly using products with sulphates and parabens could temporarily strip your strands of their natural oils, leaving them feeling parched. so, when you’re next lathering your tresses, watch out for any red flags on your product packaging.
*humble brag* we prioritise high-quality ingredients in our haircare ranges – so you can rely on healthy-looking strands time after time.
overdue for a trim?
daily life can be relentlessly busy, and dedicating time for self-care can easily land at the bottom of your to-do list. however, neglecting regular trims could be your dry hair culprit. having regular appointments with your hairdresser means they can remove any tired and dehydrated ends that may be making your hair feel more drab than fab.
