Tackling Dry Hair Problems From The Comfort Of Your Home

Sejal Ranka

Do you often wonder, ‘Why is my hair dry?’ Are you tired of dry ends, hair thinning and damaged hair ruining your look? Your hair becomes dry and brittle when it cannot retain enough moisture. This can cause your hair to lose its natural shine and appear dull and frizzy. 

Moreover, it is difficult to style. If you have dry hair, you’re tempted to conceal it all in a bun, but we want to help you flaunt your beautiful locks. So, let’s dive into the question that most women ask themselves, ‘Why is my hair so dry?’ It’s time to get to the bottom of this and understand all the reasons for dry hair and how to manage it better. 

What Are The Major Causes Of Dry Hair?

Do you often think and sigh, ‘Why is my hair so dry’? Bad hair days or even weeks when they feel dry and brittle are completely normal. However, it is important to know why this is happening and to find an effective solution for the same. Let’s begin by asking ourselves what are the reasons for dry hair?

  1. Dry scalp- Your scalp provides your hair with natural oils to keep it moisturised. If your scalp is not getting the hydration and nourishment that it needs, it may result in a dry scalp. So, next time you wonder, ‘why is my hair dry’, examine your scalp and you might find the answer.
  2. Ageing and hormonal imbalance- As you get older, your scalp may produce less oil. Hormonal imbalance caused by menopause or thyroid can also be a reason for dry hair. If you are experiencing dry ends, hair loss may occur as a result. 
  3. Hair care Routine- Are you guilty of over-styling your hair? Flat irons, chemicals, and bleach can rob your hair of its natural moisture, causing dry hair. This is one of the most common causes of dry hair.
  4. Environmental factors- Frequent exposure to sun, heat, and pollution can damage your hair, making it dry and dull. The quality of water used for your hair wash can also be one of the reasons for dry hair. If you are wondering, ‘Why is my hair dry and frizzy?’ chances are that you are washing your hair with hard water.

Diagnosing Dry Hair

Dry hair can mean a lot of things. Apart from being a sign of undernourished hair, it can also mean that your diet is lacking in protein and amino acids. Dry hair may also indicate an underlying health problem. Hence, if you have severely dry hair you can seek professional help from a trichologist.

How To Deal With Dry Hair

We understand that dry hair can be difficult to manage. It can sometimes feel like bad hair days that will never end. If you have dry ends, hair may look frizzy and dull. Fortunately, your dry hair can be silky and smooth with some extra care. Here is how.

  • Does your shampoo match your conditioner?- Do you use a nourishing conditioner but don’t see any results? Are you confused and asking yourself ‘Why is my hair so dry even with conditioner?’ If you have dry hair, you know that you can’t miss out on conditioning.
