When it comes to hair, there's nothing more frustrating than dry, damaged locks. There are many reasons why your hair might be dry, ranging from dietary choices to heat styling. For dry and damaged hair, there are some simple changes that you can make to fix this! By switching up your hair care products and routine, over time you too can achieve shiny, glossy and healthy hair!

What causes dry hair?


It’s true what they say about outer beauty starting from the inside! If you take good care washing your hair, but find it still looking dry, it may have something to do with your nutrition! If your diet is lacking in protein, vitamins and hydration, this can take its toll on the health and appearance on your skin, hair and nails! How often do you wash your hair? Over-washing can also strip your hair of its natural oils! If you have dry hair, it’s recommended that you only wash your hair once or twice a week... not every day! Dry hair may also be caused by poor nutrition, an underactive parathyroid or an underactive thyroid1 Another common reason for dry hair is damage from excessive blow drying or heat styling. Overuse of heat styling tools such as straighteners and curlers can strip your hair of moisture and leave it looking dull and brittle.
