Home remedies Takeaway
Dry hair does not absorb or retain enough moisture to keep its texture and brightness, so it may look lacklustre and be fragile and brittle. Although it may look unhealthy, most of the time, it is unlikely to be a health problem that causes dry hair.
Dry hair can be caused by factors, including:
nutritional deficiencies
excessive sun exposure
contact with chlorinated water
excessive hair wash
use of styling products and tools
use of harsh hair products
Some possible medical causes of dry hair may be anorexia nervosa, Menkes disease, hypoparathyroidism, hypothyroidism, and other hormone abnormalities.
Home remedies for dry hair
People can use home remedies to treat hair if it becomes dry and brittle. Listed below are 12 different home remedies that can be tried:
1. Using hot oils
Hot oils can add shine to dry hair
Hot oils can be massaged into the scalp and add shine to dry hair.
Olive oil is one of the most popular home remedies for dry hair. Besides olive oil, the following can also be used with good results:
coconut oil
almond oil
castor oil
jojoba oil
corn oil
All of these oils are rich in vitamin E and antioxidants and help to seal the outer hair layer or cuticle with moisture, thus repairing the damage.
To prepare this home remedy:
Warm but do not boil around half a cup of oil.
Gently massage it into the hair for some minutes.
Cover the hair with a warm towel.
Leave for 30−45 minutes or overnight.
After this time, shampoo and rinse the hair.
This treatment will strengthen and add shine to dry hair.
2. Using good hair care products specific to your hair type
A person may want to try using gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and hair conditioners.
Also, they can shampoo less frequently, for example, only once or twice a week.
3. Using beer as a hair conditioner
Beer contains a protein that helps to repair the hair cuticles, making the hair smooth and shiny.
If someone shampoos their hair as usual and then sprays on some drops of beer, allowing it to dry naturally, it will work as a good conditioner without leaving any smell on the hair.
4. Applying a coconut oil mask
