Some of the characteristics of dry hair are that it looks dull and unharmonious, even though it has volume. Plus, he tends to be kinky, so the look leaves a lot to be desired. How to recognize it and how to treat it? In Práctico we speak with specialists to learn a little more about managing this type of hair.
Dry hair is the one that needs extra moisture from conditioner. It has a rather rough appearance and a fragile texture, with a greater tendency to break, so it is very important to understand which products should be used for its maintenance. There are special shampoos for dry hair, which contain ingredients that focus on moisturizing the hair shaft; These are also recommended for those who have undergone cosmetic adjustments, such as invasive dyeing or bleaching, so they should be both moisturizing and nourishing. Carol Andrews (@carolaandrewsm ), hairdresser partner of Milady Señorita, explains: “The ideal shampoos for dry hair are moisturizing shampoos, hopefully creamy or pearly. I prefer them without silicones”.
In addition to using the correct cleansing products, German clinic dermatologist Dr. Francisca Daza (@franciscadazadermatology ) suggests: “Massages and hair masks, especially moisturizers, are great. Also the use of oils such as coconut, argan or other hair oils, which are excellent for moisturizing, in especially the ends or from the middle down. It is ideal to do it after washing. “Added to this is the advantage that they can add shine to the hair.
Another positive element, especially to manage frizz, is the use of silk pillowcases or turbans, since – as this material has the characteristic of keeping humidity at a constant level – it can reduce this effect unpleasant normally associated with dry hair. It also has a good effect on curly hair, as it maintains the shape of the curl better.
And as for the myths linked to dry hair, Carola Andrews specifies: “It is not true that it is better not to cut it, since it is always good to ‘trim’ a little. It is not either true that there is nothing you can do to get it out of its condition, since there are many alternatives on the market today to improve it, whether semi-permanent or topical.
Don’t Make These Mistakes If You Have Dry Hair
Dr. Francisca Daza recalls some of the habits to avoid when you have dry hair:
– You don’t need to wash it so often, because it makes it drier.
– The worst thing for dry hair is to dye it blond or to have “highlights”, because this means bleaching it, which dries it out even more.
– The use of dryers, irons and curling irons are also bad habits for dry hair. Anything that is direct heat damages the hair fibers. In this area, something particularly harmful is ironing when the hair is wet.
