Dry Hair Care
Dry hair tends to be thin and rough. Dry hair can be helped with emu oil and jojoba oil. It is susceptible to tangles, damage, breakage and split ends. The primary aim is to replenish the oil and the moisture in the hair. That is why the emphasis is on the conditioning aspect of dry hair care. Strong cleansing routines and dry toning exercises and massaging of the scalp promote dryness and flakiness of the scalp. The use of strong-action shampoo is prohibited for dry hair. Often a generous oil application and massage is recommended before washing the hair. Frequent shampooing is harmful for dry hair. For the moisture-dry hair, a moisturizer application is required.
Dry hair looks like unwashed straw. It grows thicker nearer the scalp and thins out towards the ends, thus causing split ends. This hair is caused by heat and the elements, so the first step is prevention Avoid using overly hot dryers and heat-styling implements and wear a hat or scarf if you're going to be exposed to sun or wind for long periods (at the beach or skiing, for instance). Don't wash your hair every day - unless you have an oily scalp. Atmospheric pollution too tends to have a drying effect on the hair. Such hair needs extra care. When you wash your hair, use shampoos and conditioners that contain humectants. Leave the conditioner on your hair as long as possible. About once a week, do a deep conditioning treatment.
