What to do if your hair is dry and hard

Some people's hair is relatively dry and hard. There are many reasons for this. The hardness is related to congenital factors, while the dryness may be caused by not paying attention to hair care. The hair is severely dehydrated, which is quite harmful to the health of the hair. On the one hand, you should pay attention to washing your hair frequently and it is best to use conditioner when washing your hair. On the other hand, you should pay attention to moisturizing your hair. When going out in dry weather, it is best to wear a hat.

What to do if your hair is dry and hard

1. Be sure to use conditioner.

In addition to providing your hair with adequate moisture, you must also provide it with enough nutrients to reduce the damage it suffers from daily. It is important to use conditioner every time. It is best to use products from the same series for hair care and shampooing. As daily care, the role of shampoo and conditioner cannot be ignored. Going to the hair salon for a few nourishing treatments occasionally is not enough to fundamentally improve the quality of your hair. Just like the skin care products we use every day, a good shampoo can gradually and fundamentally improve the quality of your hair. Many shampoo products now have sun protection value, which can effectively protect hair when used in summer.

2. Use professional dyeing and perming products.

Unless I go to a professional hair salon, I usually use hair dye that I buy myself. The ones like L'Oreal are very good and safer than the hair dye products used in some hair salons. The same goes for perming your hair. Try to choose high-quality lotions, such as Wella and L'Oreal. Don't use unknown lotions just to save money. This will minimize damage to your hair.

3. Try to control the number of times you dye or perm your hair.

In addition to sun exposure and dust, the biggest damage to hair is dyeing and perming. What I do is to control the number of times I dye or perm my hair as much as possible, at the fastest time, to once every six months, because even the best dye or perm products can cause great damage to the hair. Therefore, the best way to protect your hair is to dye and perm it less often. If you must dye your hair, it is best not to try a color that is too different from your original hair color. Otherwise, you will have to re-dye your hair as soon as your black hair grows out, and doing it too frequently will damage your hair.

4. Moisturizing is the most important.

Like hair and skin, moisturizing is the most basic and important step. If the moisturizing work is not done well, no matter how much nutrition you give to the hair, it will not be absorbed, and problems such as split ends, dryness, and frizziness will follow. My experience is to choose a deep moisturizing shampoo. I personally think that a great brand is the Korean brand "MeiJianGen". Its Pearl Sparkling Series is really great, moisturizing and nourishing, and is qualitatively different from the shampoo I used before. Shiseido’s “Flower Honey” series is also good, very moisturizing, and the hair essence in the same series is also great. But when I use these two brands in the fall, I experience hair loss. I don’t know if it’s because they are too moisturizing, so I switched to Clairol’s “Fruit Extract”. I use it purely as a backup because I really like its scent, but the effect is naturally no match for the first two.
